Ed Sheeran和Taylor Swift联手演绎全新合作曲《The Joker And The Queen》,这也是二人的第四次正式合作,前三次分别是Taylor Swift《Everything Has Changed feat. Ed Sheeran》(2012)、Taylor Swift / Ed Sheeran / Future《End Game》(2017)、Taylor Swift / Ed Sheeran《Run (Taylor’s Version)》(2021)。
Ed Sheeran在创作《The Joker And The Queen》之初就认定了Taylor会是这首歌的完美feature,之后便邀请Taylor录制了她的唱段。合作版较原曲有歌词上的改动,由 Ed Sheeran、Taylor Swift、Johnny McDaid、Fred Gibson 和 Sam Roman 创作改编,安静的歌声,优雅的钢琴和弦乐相铺排,闪烁着温情浪漫的氛围。
同天上线的MV也充满了怀旧元素,导演Emil Nava邀请了二人2012年合作曲《Everything Has Changed》官方MV的演员阵容,演绎Ava和Jack成年之后步入大学生活的续篇。
自2021年10月发行专辑《=》以来,Ed Sheeran持续统治全球排行榜,尤其是在英国本土市场,仅在2021年,Ed Sheeran就斩获四支英榜冠单,也凭借《=》这张专辑获得了第42届全英音乐奖年度创作人奖。
【音乐歌词(Lyrics)】
作曲 : Ed Sheeran/Fred Gibson/Johnny McDaid/Sam Roman/Taylor Swift
How was I to know
我未曾料想
It’s a crazy thing
状况出乎意外
I showed you my hand
我都向你坦明底牌
And you still let me win
而你仍选择 让我胜出
And who was I to say
就算是命中注定
That this was meant to be?
我又怎敢言
The road that was broken
谁知坎坷路途
Brought us together
你我不期而遇
And I know
本有国王万千
You could fall for a thousand kings
能将你芳心俘获
And hearts
把你深情款待
That would give you a diamond ring
昂贵钻戒相送
When I fold
而当我将牌舍弃
You see the best in me
你却见证我 最美好的模样
The joker and the queen
犹如小丑和皇后
I’ve been played before
曾被玩弄真心
If you hadn’t guessed
倘若你不曾猜透
So I kept my cards closed
我将合拢我的牌
To my foolproof vest
不被他人所知
But you called my bluff
但你要我亮出底线
And saw through all my tells
将我密语看穿
And then you went all in
你孤注一掷
And we left together
携手离开
And I know
我深知 在你看来
You think that what makes a king
国王
Is gold
是玉阁金殿
A palace and diamond rings
珠宝的象征
When I fold
而当我将牌舍弃
You see the best in me
你却见证我 最美好的模样
The joker and the queen
犹如小丑和皇后
And I know
本有国王万千
You could fall for a thousand kings
能将你芳心俘获
And hearts
把你深情款待
That would give you a diamond ring
昂贵钻戒相送
When I folded
而当我将牌舍弃
You saw the best in me
你却见证我 最美好的模样
The joker and the queen
犹如小丑和皇后
The joker and the queen
犹如小丑和皇后
