June 23rd, Pop artist Ed Sheeran will release his second album, X. Here’s the video premiere for the album’s lead single “SING”, produced by Pharrell Williams.
The music video for “Sing” was released exclusively to Sheeran’s Facebook page on May 22nd 2014, and added to Vevo and YouTube on May 23rd, exactly a month before the album was released.
It follows a puppet caricature of Sheeran on a night out, during which he gets drunk, sings karaoke, goes to a strip club and picks up Sheeran and the song’s producer, Pharrell, from a studio in his truck. Sheeran has stated that he owns the puppet in the video, but has “no idea how to work it yet”.
Lyrics for Ed Sheeran – SING
It’s late in the evening
Glass on the side
I’ve been sat with you
For most of the night
Ignoring everybody here
We wish they would disappear
So maybe we could get down nowI don’t wanna know
If you’re getting ahead of the program
I want you to be mine, lady
To hold your body close
Take another step into the no-man’s land
For the longest time ladyI need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you’re falling
Won’t you let me know
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
If you love me come on get involved
Feel it rushing through you from your head to toe
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-OhSing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohThis love is a blaze
I saw flames from the side of the stage
And the fire brigade comes in a couple of days
Until then we got nothing to say and nothing to know
But something to drink and maybe something to smoke
Let it go until our roads’ll change
Singing we found love in a local rave
No, I don’t really know what I’m supposed to say
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray
I told her my name and said, “It’s nice to meet ya.”
And then she handed me of a bottle of water with tequila.
I already know she’s a keeper
Just from this one small act of kindness I’m in deep
If anybody finds out
I’m meant to drive home but I’ve drunk all of it now no
Sobering up we just sit on the couch
One thing led to another
Now she’s kissing my mouthI need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you’re falling
Won’t you let me know
If you love me come on get involved
Feel it rushing through you from your head to toeSing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohCan you feel it? All the guys in here don’t even wanna dance
Can you feel it? All that I can hear is music from the back
Can you feel it? Found you hiding here so won’t you take my hand darling
Before the beat kicks in again
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you’re falling
Won’t you let me know
Louder!
Sing!
If you love me come on get involved
Feel it rushing through you from your head to toe
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
