Episode 2 Later... with Jools Holland

Greetings, listeners and viewers. We begin this show in a small, quiet

way with one of the biggest artists in the world today, we welcome Ed

Sheeran! # The club isn't the best

place to find a lover # Me and my friends

at the table doing shots # Drinking fast

and then we talk slow # And you come over and start up

a conversation with just me # And trust me I'll

give it a chance now # Take my hand, stop,

put Van the Man on the jukebox # And then we start to dance,

and now I'm singing like # Your love was handmade

for somebody like me # Grab on my waist

and put that body on me # I'm in love with the

shape of you # We push and pull like a magnet

do # And last night you were in my

room # And now my bed sheets smell

like you # Every day discovering

something brand new # Every day discovering

something brand new # I'm in love with the shape

of you # One week in we let

the story begin # You and me are thrifty,

so go all you can eat # Fill up your bag

and I fill up a plate # We talk for hours and hours

about the sweet and the sour # Leave and get in a taxi

then kiss in the back-seat # Tell the driver make the radio

play, and I'm singing like # Your love was handmade

for somebody like me # Grab on my waist

and put that body on me # I'm in love with the

shape of you # We push and pull like a magnet

do # And last night you were in my

room # And now my bed

sheets smell like you # Every day discovering

something brand new # Every day discovering

the shape of you # I'm in love with the

shape of you # And now my bed

you.# What a joy to have that talented man

The roofing sound of Valerie June from her album, The Order Of Time.

And in this corner, are you feeling good? CHEERING

So you should because what a great selection of guess we have, joint by

a fantastic collection of musicians we welcome Syd. APPLAUSE

# I be more than a god in my dreams, it's wishful thinking

# I sleep more than I need to, I drink more on the weekend

# I eat all meat but fish, I keep my needle with me

# I see sharks in the water, I fiend for marijuana

# I pray for all my homies, I'm lyin', at least I try

# I say that she's my only but got you on my mind

# Today I'm only human, but know that when I die

# My grave gone be my music, my soul is living through it baby

# Take care of the family that you came with

# We made it this far and it's amazing

# Keep it in the family that you came with

# Keep enemies close you know the basics

# We gettin' checks in the mail, I don't know if you could tell

# Stackin' this bread on the shelf, stackin' my bread on the shelf

# I see you mad at yourself, I see them mad at themselves

# I hear 'em crying for help, I hear 'em crying for help

# Don't be mad if I switch up, my good taste got me this much

# Too sweet for your taste buds, I seen you sleepin' girl wake up

# They ain't know what sauce was till we served it offa that tonka

# Drizzled all on your lobster, put shame to your roster

# Me broke, girl dream on, my team on, my weed strong

# Need more of what we on, my league always D1

# We ball all season, Kobe's on my feet bruh

# Pay attention to me bruh, pay me my fee bruh

# You seek answers to questions 'bout me, it's in my music

# You preach bout revolution and dreams, I really do this

# Sometimes I can't stand it

# Take care of the family that you came with

# We made it this far and it's amazing

# Keep it in the family that you came with

# Keep yo haters close you know the basics

Thank you, Syd. All about me. I think, let's face it, if we were to

look at a map, we would notice that for instant if we go to Jamaica, you

think it has a particularly early on sand. New Orleans has a particularly

brilliant distinct sound, and our next artist is from Cuba, also a

place with a distinct sound. We now welcome Dayme Arocena.

APPLAUSE # Maybe tomorrow

I'll have close my heart # And every tear dried

I'll be a little stronger # Everyone, every song,

every smile # Maybe tomorrow

I will stop and fly # Maybe I will know

to keep my dreams inside me # But in this moment

I know it's not in my hands # My heart is open,

still it is an ocean # My mind is shining,

the light is going far # My body's searching,

my soul is always finding # I just want to love

and feeling giving me my life # Maybe tomorrow

I will stop and fly # Maybe I will know

to keep my dreams inside me # But in this moment

I know it's not in my hands # My heart is open,

still it is an ocean # My mind is shining,

the light is going far # My body's searching,

my soul is always finding # I just want to love

and feeling giving me my life # I just want to love

and feeling giving me # I just want to love

giving me my life #. CHEERING

. Lovely sound, lovely musician,

lovely singing, Dayme Arocena. So, I'd like to introduce, I like the

word legend, and I like the word legend when it is applied to this

person, the legendary Christine McVie! It is very good to get you on

the show at last. You've got this record, which is a joint record, is

that you how you would describe it, with Lindsey Buckingham? It didn't

start to be anything particularly, but when I rejoined the band, we

were just rehearsing and I had already sent some songs over to him,

and he was just kind of working it in the studio, and we thought we

would go in and put a couple of tracks, which we did. And did you

get the other people from Fleetwood Mac to play on it? We were all there

because we were rehearsing the tour, except for Stevie Nicks who was

doing another project. We didn't have a plan, but without ultimately,

why not splinter off and finish the record? It is a lot, almost a

Fleetwood Mac record but not quite. It has some great songs, and you

have everybody playing on the record? Do you enjoy the recording

process? I love it, I prefer a touring, but I love recording, and I

love working with Lindsey. With somebody like Lindsey Buckingham who

you have worked with for many years, is it much easier to communicate? Do

you have to not use Word so often because you know? Very often, I'm

sure that applies to a lot of musicians, but me in particular with

him, there isn't much talking going on. We have some singing here from

you, let's look at this. # Take your time

# To cross the line # All without a doubt

# In my world everybody's dazed # Nobody wishes for what they

couldn't say # Bless my soul

# Singing in my world # In my world

# Everybody's Gaze # Nobody wishes for what they

couldn't say # Bless my soul

# Dancer and a dreamer # Singing in my world...

APPLAUSE Great sound there. Going back to the

early part, what music was first heard? I didn't start as a singer, I

was moreover keyboard player, and I was in a band called Chicken Shack,

and I was encouraged by Mick who must've seen some singing in me. And

you are inspired by the blues early on? Very much so, it was the 60s,

and I was a blues player. A lot of American blues artists were coming

to perform in England, and it caught on by many English blues bands that

then followed, and I just got hooked on Freddie King, BB King, all the

great guys, and I learned to play the blues from listening to their

records. And Fleetwood Mac, who I believe might be going on tour next

year? That is correct. They became one of the most successful bands in

the world, played huge stadiums in the 70s and 80s, much as our

wonderful guest Ed Sheeran is today. Any advice you would give to him?

Stay on your own, Mate! APPLAUSE

On that bombshell, that is all we need! Thank you for joining us,

Christine McVie. It is wonderful to have you here.

Our next artist is one of Britain's great singer-songwriters,

He is celebrating 15 years of making music.

# I passed the Mallard just the other day

# I was riding a train, I was riding away

# She's a picture from the age of steam

# But it's farewell to the Mallard and you

# Tea garden singer but we're just friends

# He's driving me down to the band tonight

# I'm driving down to the cold, cold sea

# To see if the sea can make a change in me

# I passed the Mallard just the other day

# I was riding a train, I was riding away

# So it's farewell to the Mallard and you

Mallard, great steam train. Now we have a new duo, please pick it up

for Marion hill. # But if you get me out,

you get a show # There's so many

bodies on the floor # So baby we should

go and add some more # Down, d-d-down, d-d-down,

d-d-down, down, down? # Everywhere I look

are peoples' hands # Thrown up in the air

to help them dance # I know you don't

have any other plans # Down, d-d-down, d-d-down,

d-d-down, down, down? # Down, down, d-d-down,

down, d-down, down? # Are you down, are you down,

are you d-d-down? # Down, down, d-d-down,

down, d-down, down? # You know we could

put them all to shame # Isn't this the reason

why you came? # So, baby, don't

you let it go to waste # Down, d-d-down, d-d-down,

d-d-down, down, down? # Every single thing

is feeling right # I don't really think

that we should fight this # What if we don't

stop until it's light? # Down, down, d-down, down?

d-d-down, down, down? # Down, down, d-d-down,

down, d-down, down? # Are you down, are you down,

are you d-d-d-d-down, # Are you down, are you down,

sweet Valerie June # Well I could play you,

in search of what's good # And, I got soul

Thank you, Valerie June. Seoul. Before that we enjoyed Marian Hill.

And now over at the end of the studio a man who has gone from

strength to strength with his wonderful songs and he is going to

do a song which he has never done before on the television and

probably won't again. We are delighted to have with us now Ed

Sheeran! CHEERING # I gave all my oxygen

to people that could breathe # I gave away my money

and now we don't even speak # I drove miles and miles,

but would you do the same for me # I gave you my shoulder

just for you to cry upon # Gave you constant shelter

and a bed to keep you warm # They gave me the heartache

and in return I gave a song # Life can get you down so I just

numb the way it feels # I drown it with a drink

and out-of-date prescription pills # And all the ones that love me,

they just left me on the shelf # So before I save someone else,

I've got to save myself # I gave you all my energy

and I took away your pain # Cos human beings are destined

to radiate or drain # Life can get you down so I just

numb the way it feels # I drown it with a drink

and out-of-date prescription pills # And all the ones that love me,

they just left me on the shelf # So before I save someone else,

I've got to save myself # But if I don't then I'll go back

to where I'm rescuing a stranger # Just because they needed

saving, just like that # Oh I'm here again,

between the devil and the danger # My dad was wrong,

cos I'm not like my mum # Cos she'd just smile

and I'm complaining in a song # So before I save someone else,

I've got to save myself # Life can get you down so I just

numb the way it feels # Or drown it with a drink

and out-of-date prescription pills # And all the ones that love me,

they just left me on the shelf # And before I blame someone else,

I've got to save myself # And before I love someone else,

I've got to love myself #. What a great song, I hope you caught

that, he might not do it again. Thank you, Ed Sheeran, with Save

Myself from the album Divide. What a talented fellow. Let's come up to

this end of the room, how are you doing? CHEERING

You are looking beautiful and in the middle of you is the incredible

talent that is Syd! # Keep it between us,

can't let 'em see us # It'll be our secret,

don't wanna get caught creeping # Is it really cheating,

who says we're cheating # If we had a little more time

I'd take it slow babe # You can stay till the morning,

when we wake up jump on it # It's the way that you flaunt it,

lets me know that you want it # Keep it secret baby,

they don't have to know # No more pictures baby,

put away your phone # Let 'em wonder what

we do when we're alone # Cos you know how I like it, babe,

let's do this in private baby # Water still rising,

no sign of a storm # The sun don't shine

to keep us warm. # I sent a prayer,

a prayer up to the Lord, # I'm still waiting,

waiting on my reward. # Some rivers run deep,

some run wide # Some run dark,

their secrets to hide. # I sent a prayer,

a prayer up to the Lord, # I'm still waiting,

waiting on my reward. # Don't let it rain,

don't let it pour # Don't let the wind

blow through my door. # I sent a prayer,

a prayer up to the Lord, # I'm still waiting,

waiting on my reward. # How did I get here,

lucky to be alive? # Sometimes you live,

but sometimes you just drive. # I sent a prayer,

a prayer up to the Lord, # I'm still waiting,

waiting on my reward #. # I'm still waiting,

waiting on my reward Michael Chapman, Sometimes You Just

Drive. . Before but was Syd. And now I scoot up here to talk to the very

talented Ed Sheeran. Up at this end of the room with the Internet, that

is a complimentary gift from us! I love that song you played before,

where did that come from? With Labyrinth, and another girl called

Amy, and it was really late in the album, we had nearly finished, Amy

just came to stay and the song just happened. I have to say

congratulations from the whole studio, a round of applause, because

you have a phenomenal success, 18 songs in the top 20. In the old

days, you would have done every song! Element do you guys want Top

Of The Pops back? To watch! I feel like it is pretty much the only

thing on TV. SCREAM what was that about?

I find I'm stepping back from reading things, there are two

extremes, people either really love you all really hate you, there isn't

anything in the middle, and I think sanity lies in the middle, so I am

staying away from both. And you can't believe anything you read in

the papers, particularly about yourself. Unless they say he is a

saint and a genius. If you read stuff like that, you turn into an

egotistical maniac, but also there are people who say that you are the

worst person ever. You took a year's break. That was brilliant. Weren't

there are a lot of people saying, you can't take a break, we need you

for this, for that. We had been touring for five years straight, and

none of us had taken a break, so it came to a point where some of the

people I toured with wanted to work with people different, and I just

wanted to take the time, now I never want to stop touring, the year of

the Meireles how lucky we are. You are a bit like me in that, I don't

have an e-mail, you don't have a mobile phone. Do you think that is

the way forward with communication? For communication, no, but going

back to the sanity thing, it is. It is to do with being bored and just

going online and reading things. I needed to get away from reading what

people thought about me, because it doesn't work well. Plus I wanted to

step away from being contactable at all times. If someone really, really

needs to get in contact with you, they will find a way. Does anyone

have WhatsApp? You know when you can see when someone has read it, that

drives people's mental, if you read it and haven't replied, if I put it

in my pocket, people go mental because you haven't replied. How

dare you? Element anyway e-mails me, there is a thing that goes out and

says, I might not reply to this, and then people are fine. If they e-mail

me, they wouldn't even get that! What is your next song that you will

play for us? from Northern Island and every time

I see their name somebody whips. We wrote this song called Galway

Girl, I'm a big fan of theirs, they are touring the country is doing

Glastonbury, you should check them out. It is wonderful to have you

here as a guest, and you might want to chat to Christine who says, stay

on your own! Have you got anything to say to her? I really like your

staff! Wonderful to have you here, thank

you, Ed Sheeran! APPLAUSE

So now the vibrations are back, and we welcome Valerie June.

# Is there a light you have inside you

# The day will come when you're ready

# Dancing on the astral plane in holy water, cleansing rain

# From other worlds but you can't say what keeps you hear

# Dancing on the astral plane in holy water, cleansing rain

# Dancing on the astral plane in holy water, cleansing wearing

# Dancing on the astral plane in the holy water, cleansing rain

# Dancing on the astral plane in holy water, cleansing rain

# Dancing on the astral plane in holy water, cleansing rain

# There is a light you have inside you

MAMBO AND JAZZ BLENDED WITH AN AFRO-CUBAN PERCUSSION BEAT.

Dayme Arocena, the lovely Cuban sound. Nystrom is, nice piano, nice

singing. Before that we enjoyed Valerie June. And now, joined by

Beoga, we are lucky to have with us, Ed Sheeran.

# You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

# She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

# She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?

# Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?

# She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun

# She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun

# Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar

# Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

# You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# Said, "Baby, I just want to dance" with my pretty little Galway Girl

# You're my pretty little Galway Girl.

# You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

# And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room

# As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool

# After dancing the ceilidh singing to trad tunes

# I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

# Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat

# Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week

# And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me

# You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

# And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time

# I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine

# Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine

# As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

# I walked her home then she took me inside

# To finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine

# I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write

# About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

# She played the fiddle in an Irish band

# But she fell in love with an English man

# Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

# My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl #.

Thank you, Ed Sheeran, with Beoga. We will be back on Tuesday with

Jamiroquai, Robert Cray and much more. But for now, could you give us

maybe a couple of chords in the key of A, let's just say? It is the

vibrations in which we say farewell and thank you for all of our

wonderful guest to have joined us this evening. Thank you very much

Valerie June. Thank you Christine McVie. Thank you Ed Sheeran, thank

you Michael Chapman thank you Dayme Arocena, thank you Marian Hill,

thank you Syd. CHEERING
