Ed Sheeran explaining the meaning behind little bird

Video style ideas

Lewis Watson- Even if
The video is simple black and white and throughout the song Watson can be seen writing the lyrics to the song.the video is edited in time to the song and doodles are drawn by the singer when there is an instrumental.

One night only-Say you don't want it
The video is based on two dogs that then turn into humans and roam the city of new york.Although it is not immediately obvious to the viewer, the actors stay in character and mimick a dogs actions such as licking eachothers faces. It is noot until the end that you see that they are infact dogs and then the concept of the video falls into place.

Coldplay-The scientist
The video for this song by Coldplay was shot in the right order but then reversed,this being the idea meant that Chris Martin (Lead singer of the band) had to learn his own lyrics backwards. The storyline is that of a car crash whereby Chris Martin is the driver and ends up killing his partner because of the crash.

Ed Sheeran-Little Bird lyrics

If we take this bird in
With its broken leg
We could nurse it
She said
Come inside
For a little lie down with me
If you fall asleep
It wouldn’t be the worst thing
But when I wake up
Your make-up is on my shoulder
And tell me, if I lie down
Would you stay now
And let me hold you?

But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird

If we take a walk out
In the morning dew
We could lay down
So I’m next to you
Come inside
For a little home-made tea
If you fall asleep
Then at least you’re next to me
And if I wake up
You see, it’s late, love
Go back to sleep
I’m covered by nature
And I’m safe now
Underneath this oak tree
With you beside me

But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth?
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste how lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird

And of all these things
I’m sure of
I’m not quite certain
Of your love
And you made me scream
But then I made you cry
When I left that little bird
With its broken leg to die

But if I kissed you
Will your mouth read this truth
Darling, how I miss you
Strawberries taste like lips do
And it’s not complete yet
Mustn’t get our feet wet
Cos that leads to regret
Diving in too soon
And I’ll owe it all to you
My little bird
My little bird
You’re my little bird
