Music : Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran
【明報專訊】Ed Sheeran is a British singer-songwriter. Born in 1991, he started playing guitar at a young age and began writing songs soon afterwards. He released The Orange Room, his first extended play (EP，迷你專輯), when he was still at school. He subsequently moved to London to further his career.
With the song Thinking Out Loud, Ed won the Song of the Year award at the 2016 Grammys. The MV of the song features two people dancing. The lyrics depict something that would happen when they grow old. However, no matter how things may change, their love for each other remains unchanged.
Lyrics (excerpts):
When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same
