Released by: Warner Music Indonesia
"x" sebagai album studio kedua dari Ed Sheeran lebih dari sekedar fine. Album ini ada pada definisi superb, terima kasih atas penerimaan yang luar biasa terhadap single-single yang dirilis, termasuk 'Thinking Out Loud', lagu soulful bernodakan akustik, dengan jaminan vibe yang berbeda dari single-single sebelumnya.
Thanks to Amy Wadge dan Jake Gosling yang bersedia menggarap lagu ini bersama Ed. Pengalaman Amy dengan rock dan folk, juga Jake dengan pop dan akustiknya merger dengan pesona orisinil Ed yang tergolong syahdu dan emosional. Sangat terasa saat Ed menyuarakan perasaannya di bagian chorus, dimana ia sukses mengeksekusi vokalnya untuk menjangkau nada-nada secara emosional.
Kepentingan itu terjadi semata-mata karena lagu yang model begini akan lebih dicermati liriknya dan menempatkan musik sebagai faktor pendukung. People can relate to some facts stated in the song. Seperti harapan untuk mencinta selamanya, keunikan cinta yang bisa hadir dari sentuhan, atau lukisan romansa dengan warna-warni indah. Ah, memang perlu untuk sering-sering thinking out loud mengenai yang indah-indah seperti ini. Dan mungkin, ilmu romantis Ed akan menulari.

LYRIC
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 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I 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
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
'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand
But, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
So, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Oh, darling, place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
That maybe we found love right where we are
Oh, baby, we found love right where we are
And we found love right where we are
