How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Like Himalayan cold winter
These jaws of kali yuga
Yeah it's a crazy kind of cold
A lifeless slumber in a stranglehold
Yeah tibet she can't even touch this
I'd rather freeze in her forests
We're in a spiritual winter
And I long for the one who is
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
Like the sun on the icecaps
My only friend in the prison
The long lost meaning to the story story
The divine and ancient wisdom
How could it be that you've graced my
Night?
Like a pardon from the governor
Like a transplant from the donor
Like a gift from the one who is
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
In a place where everything dies
It's you I follow
See by the fire
Of my darlin', yeah!
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are, you are
In my heart
Like a pardon from the governor
Like a transplant from the donor
Like a kiss, like a kiss, from my darlin'
Yeah!
These jaws of kali yuga
Yeah it's a crazy kind of cold
A lifeless slumber in a stranglehold
Yeah tibet she can't even touch this
I'd rather freeze in her forests
We're in a spiritual winter
And I long for the one who is
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
Like the sun on the icecaps
My only friend in the prison
The long lost meaning to the story story
The divine and ancient wisdom
How could it be that you've graced my
Night?
Like a pardon from the governor
Like a transplant from the donor
Like a gift from the one who is
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are in my heart
In a place where everything dies
It's you I follow
See by the fire
Of my darlin', yeah!
Fire!
Amongst the dreamers
You are, you are
In my heart
Like a pardon from the governor
Like a transplant from the donor
Like a kiss, like a kiss, from my darlin'
Yeah!

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
No physical pain compares to spiritual emptiness. But he has found the "one" who can bring warmth again to his heart.
