Ed Sheeran Debuts Nostalgic Single ‘Old Phone’ From New Album, ‘Play’ on ‘Fallon’

Ed Sheeran performed his new song "Old Phone" on the 'The Tonight Show' and announced new album title 'Play.'

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the musician revealed the title of his forthcoming album, Play, the first in a new string of symbols. He described the experience as “going into a time machine.” When he went through the phone, he encountered text messages from two friends who had since died, an argument with an ex-girlfriend, and correspondence from an estranged family member he hadn’t spoken to in a decade. “I charge the battery again/Combinations cause my password had changed/Opened up and saw familiar names/Now I wonder where they’ve gone/Conversations with my dead friends/Messages from all my exes/I kind of think that this was best left/There in the past where it belongs/ I feel an overwhelming sadness/Of all the friends I do not have left/Seeing how my family has fractured/Growing up and moving on/I found my old phone today.”
