Want Some? es un álbum de Ed Sheeran, publicado en 2007. El disco incluye 11 canciones, entre ellas «You Break Me», «I´m Glad I´m Not You», «You Need To Cut Your Hair» y «Sara».
Lanzado en 2007, Want Some? es el segundo álbum autoeditado del cantautor británico Ed Sheeran. Grabado cuando tenía 16 años, este disco continúa la senda del folk acústico de su primer trabajo, pero con una notable evolución en su madurez como compositor y letrista. "Want Some?" es otra colección de canciones íntimas y personales, grabadas con una producción minimalista, que sirvieron a Sheeran para seguir perfeccionando su estilo y para construir su reputación en el circuito de pequeños locales de Londres. Es un paso más en su viaje desde el anonimato hasta el estrellato mundial, y un testimonio de su incansable ética de trabajo y su innegable talento.
Cómo se grabó
En 2007, Ed Sheeran seguía siendo un artista independiente que luchaba por abrirse camino. "Want Some?" fue otro de los muchos EPs y álbumes que grabó y vendió él mismo en sus conciertos. La grabación, una vez más, fue un proceso muy personal y de bajo presupuesto, con Sheeran probablemente grabando la mayoría del material en su casa. Este período de su carrera fue fundamental para desarrollar su habilidad en el escenario y para crear el repertorio de canciones que finalmente llamaría la atención de la industria musical.
Análisis musical y estilo
El sonido de "Want Some?" sigue siendo folk acústico, pero con una mayor complejidad en los arreglos de guitarra y una mayor confianza en su voz. Las letras muestran una mayor profundidad, explorando las complejidades del amor y las relaciones con una honestidad que se convertiría en su sello distintivo. En este álbum se puede apreciar la evolución de su técnica de "fingerpicking" y de su fraseo rítmico, que más tarde fusionaría con el hip-hop.
Un vistazo a las canciones
El álbum incluye canciones como "You Break Me" y "I'm Glad I'm Not You", que ya muestran su talento para crear melodías memorables y letras con las que el público joven podía identificarse. "Postcards" es otra de las joyas ocultas de este primer período. Estas canciones, aunque no tan pulidas como sus éxitos posteriores, son la base sobre la que se construyó su carrera.
Influencia posterior
"Want Some?", al igual que su primer álbum, es hoy una pieza de coleccionista. Es un documento que muestra la dedicación y el talento en bruto de un artista que estaba a punto de cambiar las reglas del juego de la música pop. Es un recordatorio de que el éxito de Ed Sheeran no fue casualidad, sino el resultado de años de trabajo, composición y fe inquebrantable en su propia música.

- You Break Me
Letra
Well my friend it seems we’ve come too far to disagree My knees feel weak and I fell too fast The tide is high but we swam in too deep To catch your breath you tear me apart piece by piece You can take away all this mess And I could never think anything less of you ‘Cos you break me You numb me You still seem to stun me This pain has outrun me You are all I have left The tide flows out as I leave empty rooms To spur this on we left that room too long You open wide and all the lies flow out To eat you whole But we both know that you’re too cold And she said ‘I can put away all those lies And show you there’s no surprise in me’ Well still, you break me You numb me You still seem to stun me This pain has outrun me You are all that I have left Exorcise these demons But they keep talking to me I am no believer But I believe you will relieve me I believe you will relieve me And that’s what’s going on ‘Cos you break me You numb me You still seem to stun me This pain has outrun me You are all that I have left You break me - I´m Glad I´m Not You
- You Need To Cut Your Hair
Letra
Well I walked from my house to yours In a warm cold April rain We barely went outdoors And your family took the blame Take time to be with you She can only glare I’m a bad influence, that’ll do ‘Cos I need to cut my hair Wash my mouth, change my clothes Just don’t talk to those friends of yours Tell them not to come here anymore Time to go, don’t be slow This’ll only take a mo’ Take yourself right out of my door It’s just that they don’t care Dad said: Beware, watch your back Just don’t reply to that woman there And even if she makes a fuss Just ignore that trust And don’t give in to lust And leave that one alone The girl’s trouble Time spent in burnt-down shed Add up near two days Fall down and cut my head Take time to misbehave Spend time and be with you She can only glare ‘Cos you’re a bad influence, that’ll do Boy you need to cut your hair Wash your mouth, change your clothes Just don’t talk to those friends of yours Tell them not to come here anymore Time to go, don’t be slow This’ll only take a mo’ Take yourself right out of my door It’s just that they don’t care Dad said: Beware, watch your back Just don’t reply to that woman there And even if she makes a fuss Just ignore that trust And don’t give in to lust And leave that one alone This is the dancing song Close your eyes Hypnotise to the beat And the movement of the week Do that shuffle of your feet And pound out the fever, either Dance as you’re a true believer Cleaner lives are what you don’t see Fell the weight, gravitate Feel the pace of me This world is 2d The only thing that’s free in life is love And that don’t come cheap It’s just that they don’t care Dad said: Beware, watch your back Just don’t reply to that woman there And even if she makes a fuss Just ignore that trust And don’t give in to lust And leave that one alone The girl’s trouble - Sara
Letra
Sara, what you do is enlighten my mind Oh wow, I said Sara, what you do is make my soul unwind Hey now 'Cos your hair is blonde, your eyes are blue Half the guys I know are after you Cheer me up when I'm in a mood So I thought I'd write a song for you And may I say, you look like an angel today May I say, take me to the place where your mind lays If only to make you smile today 'Cos you are great, I thought I'd say that Sara, reminds me of drunken talks in a hammock Behind a can of strongbow Oh wow, I said Sara, you say that you don't look good when you do Even with that soul Your hair is blonde, your eyes are blue Half the guys I know are after you Cheer me up when I'm in a mood So I thought I'd write a song for you And may I say, you look like an angel today May I say, take me to the place where your mind lays If only to make you smile today 'Cos you are great, I thought I'd say that May I say, you look great May I play this to make your day - Move On
Letra
Now it seems I’ve been young, dug my hole in the ground To me there’s only up, there ain’t no point in looking down However hard I try, I only get weaker Seems my lies and worries got my mind in a sleeper hold What you gotta do is never get yourself down Bastards do that for you, get you deeper in the ground Keep out of trouble, ain’t no trouble being pure Seems like all you bastards gave me something to ignore now Move on, forget it Now move on, forget it When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody Hennesey shots and glocks, all these fools on the block Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top? I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy With my head in the sky Ed Sheeran, Urban Angel coming ready to die So see the signs, stand to the side Open your eyes and take a look and realise The resurrection's arrived And as the mist clears, homie I arise From my tomb in disguise I'm all alone, Alonestar Urban Angel rising from the ashes Surprising all haters, guiding, advising them all to steady move Now back up! Move on, forget it Now move on, forget it All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music Who did it, who is it, who's in it, who What the fuck does it matter? Chitter chatter, don't matter, yidder, yidder, yadder It don't matter to me All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, can you hear me? - Yellow Pages
Letra
I felt the fall on my breast At the bottom of my stomach She put my hand on her chest While she looked into my eyes You rescued me And called up these words in threes And you know I can't forget it And 10 months on you liberate truth See, I was wrong on how I hate you And it's the worst thing that I did When I read through you You weren't translated So I looked up love in the yellow pages So I'd be free from it See, all this truth sparks lies in me Just to demonstrate, aggravate sympathy The key is just to ignore Even if this time has made me unsure And 12 months on I'm back in my mood See, I got drunk and said I loved you And it's the worst thing that I did When I read through you You weren't translated So I looked up love in the yellow pages So I'd be free from it - Smile
Letra
Just give me a pen and I’ll write my worries Now and again I’ll try and not see that you don’t care Taking the time to taste and savour Life’s bitter wine and childish behaviour But you don’t care And hey, I don’t speak that language of youth And hey, oh not the one that speaks truth And hey, I lay in this world for a while When all is lost just smile They’ve written the dates and the times to follow See all the fakes that look so hollow But you don’t care What ever happened to the youth and culture? Wear chains and the same fecking lonsdale jumper So you don’t care And hey, I don’t speak that language of youth And hey, oh not the one that speaks truth And hey, I lay in this world for a while When all is lost just smile - Postcards
Letra
Face me, are you tired of living? Replace, she was so unforgiving And I'm so frustrated, so dilated And she's telling me I've wasted my time And I'm running back like, just to face the facts right To tell me your voice takes me through the night Your smile and your memory Simply eases me to sleep In my ear while the whispering Melts my heart on every beat Still you're singing lullabies and postcards to this place And we're asking for so much more Now you're bringing smiles and laughter to this face While bad memories are in pieces on the floor Face me, are you tired of living? Replace, she was so unforgiving And I'm so frustrated, so dilated And she's telling me I've wasted my time And I'm running back like, just to face the facts right To tell me your voice takes me through the night Time past, heal this broken heart Pulled away that sellotape Take your time, 'cos I won't mind I doubt if I even know that I'm awake And still you're singing lullabies and postcards to this place And we're asking for so much more Now you're bringing smiles and laughter to this face While bad memories are in pieces on the floor - Two Blokes And A Double Bass
Letra
Sing the song Celestial Man Shake the thing your mother gave ya! Tear your lungs out, scream your heart Be on your worst behaviour I’d wager that you’re gonna take it Make you fight nature, born and raised in Funk those things that make you go bump in the night Turn off the dark, put on the light And he said: You and your big cheeks have got me Along with Disarm and Flooded Quarry Turn off the base with the beat-box detox Pull off the pace, while you sing with no socks Lampshades, carpets, the stage black You make the room’s hands laugh as they clap You make my mouth water with support acts They could even match you in talent - ignore that! Gary Dunne and Newton Faulkner ain’t wrong He’s got me singing to Amerikan Folk Song Loop pedal class is used as weaponry You gotta know your enemy Gotta check your distance Don’t talk, only whisper Slap the base so hard you get blisters Chikka boom, boom, chikka boom JP beat-box, feet as flip-flops Doing the hip hop, mixed with the warm sock And Stephanie propped up, up by the mic stand This ain’t no fake, it’s music in your hand As you run into the centre of the crowd Silence falls like water You just wanna shout: Wow! How did they even have the guts to do it? If your name’s Nizlopi, then there ain’t much to it ‘Cos you and your big cheeks have got me spinning around now - The West Coast Of Clare
Letra
Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you Won't leave me in peace My mind was running back To the west coast of Clare Thinking of you And the times we had there I walked to Spanish Point I knew I'd find you there I stood on the white strand You were everywhere Vivid memories fade But the mood still remains I wish I could go back And be with you again In Milltown there's a pub It’s there that I sat down I see you everywhere Your face is all around The search for times past Contains such sweet pain I'll banish lonesome thoughts But they’ll return again I walk along the shore The rain in my face My mind is numb with grief Of you there is no trace I'll think of this again In far off lands I roam Walking with you By this cold Atlantic fog Sorrow and sadness, bitterness, grief Memories I have of you Won't leave me in peace My mind was running back To the west coast of Clare Thinking of you And the times we had there - I Can´t Spell
