It is becoming a much loved habit of mine to try to keep up with all the songs posted by various other bloggers onto “SONG-LYRIC-SUNDAY”.
The theme for today is: LISTEN:

…and scroll down to the comments section to see a long list of bloggers include their song on this theme.

Well…the first song that popped into my head was Roxette’s “Listen To Your Heart”…but that has been very well presented by another blogger already. I have just been going through some other songs that I also thought of…and although they all have the word “LISTEN”… I just was not in the mood for them.
And that is the thing about music isn’t it – it is linked to your mood. Since it is just over three weeks until I say goodbye to Goldfinch – sob sob – I am loving any songs that make me feel warm and fuzzy inside and have a really sweet feel to them. So here is my choice for today.
He hardly needs an introduction! But here he is Ed Sheeran with the song “Perfect”:
I found a love for me
Darling, just dive right in and follow my lead
Well, I found a girl, beautiful and sweet
Oh, I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
‘Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you’re holding mine
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When you said you looked a mess
I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it,
Darling, you look perfect tonight
Well, I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I’ll share her home
I found a love to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we’re so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we’ll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I’ll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
When I saw you in that dress
Looking so beautiful
I don’t deserve this
Darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I’m dancing in the dark
With you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass
Listening to our favourite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don’t deserve this
You look perfect tonight
– Ed Sheeran

First time hearing song and seeing video. He has a very strong and yet sweet voice and the video is very well connected to the song.

I only saw the video recently…it is very watchable isn’t it. Not many music videos hold my attention. But I do like this one. There is something extremely likeable about this song.
