Thinking Out Loud

I briefly mentioned Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' in my last post, but thought that it was worth mentioning it again for this week's song. It is my favourite song on his recent album 'X', with my next favourite being 'Photographs.' Both lyrics are so beautiful and I have to admit, that the first time I heard 'Thinking Out Loud', I did get a bit teary.

I honestly don't even know how I can put his lyrics to justice, so I'm just going to put his lyrics for the first half of the song on here:

When your legs don't work like they used to before

And I can't sweep you off of your feet

Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love?

Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks?

And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70

And baby my heart could still fall as hard at 23

And I'm thinking about how people fall in love in mysterious ways

Maybe just the touch of a hand

Well me, I'll fall in love with you every single day

And I just wanna tell you I am

So honey now

Take me into your loving arms

Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars

Place your head on my beating heart

I'm thinking out loud

That maybe we found love right where we are...

That is the most beautiful thinking aloud ever! Especially if you compare what my thinking aloud is, which usually consists of verbal diarrhoea talking about absolute nonsense, or accidentally sounding really rude because the tone just naturally comes out really sarcastic.  

Ed Sheeran's lyrics to his love songs are just perfect, like his songs 'Autumn Leaves', 'Kiss Me' and 'Wake me up'... one of the youtubers that I watch once actually described Ed Sheeran's music as "comfort food music"; meaning that it just makes you feel good inside when you listen to it. It's so true and his second album is certainly a reliable comforter just like his first. Mind you, I think my favourite album of the two, is still '+', but that may be because I'm more familiar with it. Either way, Ed Sheeran writes quality songs.
