Celestial – Ed Sheeran (艾德·希兰)
Composed by：Ed Sheeran/Johnny McDaid/Steve Mac
You see tonight it could go either way
Hearts balanced on a razer blade
We are designed to love and break
Until rince and repeat it all again
I get stuck when the world’s too loud
And things don’t look up when you’re going down
And I know your arms are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds
You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I’m drunk on stars and we’re dancing out in the space
Celestial
Celestial
You see the light shinin’ through the rain
A thousand colors in thе brighter shade
Needed to rise from the lowest place
There’s a silver lining that surrounds the gray
When I get lost will you come back around
Things don’t look up when you’re going down
Know your arms are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds
You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I’m drunk on stars and we’re dancing out in the space
Celestial
Celestial ohh
We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
When we notice that’s what really matters is
Make tonight go on and on and on
You make me feel
We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
You make me feel
When we notice that’s what really matters is
Let’s make tonight go on and on and on
You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I’m drunk on stars and we’re dancing out in the space
Celestial ohh
Celestial ohh
Celestial ohh
We were made to be
Nothing more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
When we notice that’s what really matters is
Make tonight go on and on and on
Celestial
《Celestial》：献给童年幻想的星际情书
创作背景：跨越二十年的羁绊
- 童年的避难所：Ed Sheeran曾多次透露，他从7岁起就开始接触《宝可梦》。在小学时期，当周围的同学都在讨论卡牌和动画时，他和哥哥通过交换Game Boy游戏卡带（如《宝可梦蓝》和后来的《宝可梦黄》）来完成图鉴。对于年幼的Ed来说，宝可梦的世界不仅仅是娱乐，更是他在学校遭遇挫折或负面情绪时的“避难所”。那个像素构成的世界给予了他安慰和力量。
- 长不大的玩家：令人惊讶的是，这份热爱并未随着年龄增长而消退。即便到了31岁，Ed Sheeran依然保留着当年的Game Boy Color掌机，并且在长途飞行的旅途中，他仍然会打开它玩上一局。这种贯穿成长的陪伴，成为了他创作这首歌最核心的动力。
- MV中的彩蛋与巧思：为了还原这种感觉，官方MV特意采用了真人与手绘素描结合的形式，由插画师長场雄负责角色设计。MV中充满了致敬细节，例如Ed在笔记本上写下的备选歌名——包括被划掉的“Eclipse”（标注为wrong direction）、“Twilight”（too dark）等，以及最终确定的和弦进行。这些细节不仅展示了创作过程，更重现了孩童时代涂鸦幻想的纯真氛围。
表达含义：爱是穿越星河的治愈力
- “你让我感到，烦恼的心远在千万里之外”
这句歌词精准地捕捉了沉浸式体验（无论是玩游戏还是陷入爱河）带来的解脱感。当我们全神贯注于喜爱的事物时，现实世界的喧嚣（“When the world's too loud”）和生活的压力都会暂时消失。这里的“你”，既可以是游戏中并肩作战的伙伴，也可以是一位深爱的恋人，甚至是那个在幻想世界中获得力量的自己。 - “沉醉于漫天璀璨星空，纵情肆舞于外太空”
“Celestial”意为天空的、神圣的。歌词用“醉酒般的星空”和“太空漫步”来比喻那种极致的快乐和自由。这是一种超脱凡俗的体验，就像在游戏中指挥宝可梦战斗、探索未知地图时那种心流涌动的感觉。它表达了即使在充满挑战的生活中（“Hearts balanced on a razor blade”），只要有热爱的事物支撑，我们就能找到属于自己的光芒。 - “我们在渺小中发现奇迹”
这是整首歌的哲学内核。Ed Sheeran在歌词中提到“Finding magic in all the smallest things”，这与《宝可梦》的核心精神不谋而合——即使是弱小的宝可梦也有其独特的价值和进化的可能。这句话提醒听众，无论生活多么灰暗（“shining through the rain”），只要保持一颗童心，就能在最微小的事物中找到希望和魔法。
