I mean, dude. Seriously. I feel like I have to thank her for the + album. Without her maybe Ed will never wrote those songs called Lego House or Sunburn or Give Me Love or the rest of his songs. ☺
1. The A Team
Well, we all know that this song is about a prostitute and then she died. End of the story.
And they say she's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen but lately
Her face seems, slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
2. Drunk
About Alice? I don't know. It's about breaking up.
And I've got no plans for the weekend
So shall we speak then
Keep it between friends
Though I know you'll never love me like you used to.
You know that feeling when you broke up with someone you really love and that just broke your heart into pieces that you don't want to know anything so you just be drunk instead to feel a little love.
3. U. N. I.
At first, I thought the UNI is pronounced like 'uni' as in the 'university'. But then I listened it, and knowing that it pronounced as 'you and I'. This song is about breaking up too. And I love the intro:
I found your hairband on my bedroom floor,
The only evidence that you've been here before
And I don't get waves of missing you anymore,
They're more like tsunami tides in my eyes
Never getting dry, so I get high,
smoke away the days never sleep with the light on
Weeks pass in the blink of an eye,
And I'm still drunk at the end of the night
I don't drink like everybody else,
I do it to forget things about myself,
Stumble and fall with the head spin I got
My mind's with you but my heart's just not
So am I close to you anymore, if it's over
And there's no chance that we'll work it out
That's why you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine, but you're the only one that knows I lied
This song has its story line. You know if you really listen to the lyrics, it just heartbreaking.
4. Grade 8
This song is about falling in love (Yeay! Finally bukan lagu galau :D).
Your strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8
but i never felt this way,
I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down
Why do I love Ed that much? Jago nyekil, bok! :">
Your body is my ballpoint pen
And your mind is my new best friend,
Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again,
5. Wake Me Up
WAH YANG INI WAJIB DENGER, ASLI!
Bingung mau nyantumin liriknya yang mana.
And you will never know
Just how beautiful you are to me
But maybe I'm just in love
When you wake me up
This song has its story line too. And it's really clear like he tells a story with a song. It's flashing back some memories. And it just beautiful.
And I know you love Shrek
Because we've watched it 12 times
And maybe we're hoping for a fairytale too
The first time I heard this song, I smiled a lot like seriously. Imagining those things like how sweet it is. ♥
6. Small Bump
It's about.... an unborn baby. :-)
You’re just a small bump unborn
In four months you’re brought to life
I don't know man, but I found it attractive when a boy playing around with children. :D
Fingernails the size of a half grain of rice
And eyelids closed to be soon open wide
A small bump,
In four months you’ll open your eyes
7. This
You start to fall again with that someone.
This is the start of something beautiful
This is the start of something new
You are the one that will make me lose it all
You are the start of something new
...someone that you used to know.
And I’ll throw it all away
And watch you fall into my arms again
... maybe to fix something that was wrong.
And take me back, take me home
8. The City
It's obviously about a city. A city that never sleep. It's London.
London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home
9. Lego House
Siapa sih yang gak tau ini lagu? :D
Dengerinnya berasa lagi di modusin sama Ed. :">
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done,
I think I love you better now
And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now
10. You Need Me, I don't Need You.
Many don't know that I can rap and somehow love it too. :))
Hey, seriously. Whenever I get mad, instead of swearing with some inappropriate words, I'd tend to rapping out loud with whatever song. :))
There is 2 version of this song. The short one. And the long one.
The long one last for about 10 minutes and you can hear it on a live show.
The short one is that one song in the album. This is one of the reason that I more like his live concert music than in the album. Because there's always be an extended for some songs.
This is about his career on music. Maybe he met a douche who screwed him up. :))
Call yourself a singer-writer you’re just bluffing
Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing
11. Kiss Me
Uhm.. you can tell what it's all about by the tittle, can't you? :-*
I heard it repeatedly cause it just beautiful as always. It come up with:
Settle down with me
Cover me up. Cuddle me in.
Lie down with me
And hold me in your arms
Warm? :">
Kiss me like you wanna be loved
I was made to keep your body warm
But I'm cold as the wind blows
So hold me in your arms
12. Give Me Love
I love the extended version of this one too! :D
This one about.. well, mau move on tapi masih sayang gitu..
Give me love like never before,
'cause lately I've been craving more,
And it's been a while but I still feel the same,
Maybe I should let you go,
You know I'll fight my corner,
And that tonight I'll call ya,
After my blood is drowning in alcohol,
No I just wanna hold ya.
13. The Parting Glass
Maybe it's a goodnight song.
Goodnight and joy be with you all.
Or maybe it's about you'll leave your home.
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
Deluxe version:
Autumn Leaves
Missing someone that is far away.
Hush now
Close your eyes before the sleep
And your miles away
And yesterday you were here with me
And thinking about life.
Another day, another life
Passes by just like mine
It's not complicated
Another mind, another soul
Another body to grow old
It's not complicated
Another tear, another cry
Another place for us to die
Its not complicated
Another life that's gone to waste
Another light lost from your face
It's complicated
Little Bird
I don't know who's the girl in this song. Alice? Well, they nursed a broken-leg-bird until its dead.
If we take this bird in, with its broken leg
We could nurse it, she said
And of all this thing i'm sure of,
i'm not quite certain of your love
You made me scream
but then i made you cry
when i left that little bird with its broken leg to die
I love the part when:
I'm covered by nature and i'm safe now
Underneath this oak tree, with you beside me
:">
Gold Rush
And maybe you should learn to love her
Like, like the way you want to be loved
Sunburn
It takes a while for me to get this song.
You're not her
Though I try to see you differently
You're in here is someone. Her in here is your ex.
I saw your eyes
And then I saw her staring back at me
Your eyes. That someone eyes.
Her. Your ex.
I guess that someone is have a friend-relation-something with his ex.
Maybe you love that someone. Maybe you're not. You never take a serious chance.
When we never even tried, we never even talked
We never even thought in the long run
Whenever it was painful, whenever I was away
I'd miss you and I miss you
...because you still care about her.
She was mine, I was hers
And all that's in between
When she would cry, I would shelter her
And keep her from the darkness that will be
Better for not play with this love. Might be burn you all as well. Everyone will hurt.
Don't drop me in, it's not my time
If you cut deep then I might burn at you
Scar and left me like a sunburn
So you'll just forget about her. And forget about that someone. Moving on.
So I will try to find another one
Who's suited to me as well as her.
