“Shakes” sees Emeli Sandé pour out her devotion to a lover over piano crescendos for the seventh track of Long Live the Angels. The first lyrics of the final chorus see the track peak, before the whole instrumentation falls to emphasise Emeli’s vocals.
[Verse 1]
If you don't want a daughter
Then I'll give you a son
I'll give you every penny
For every song that I've sung
[Chorus]
'Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
[Verse 2]
You can be the captain
I surrender my boat
If you're tired of the south, then baby
We're sailing north
[Chorus]
See baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yes, oh, my soul shakes
[Verse 3]
I can tell the angels
They can take me instead
'Cause babe if you go missin'
Then I'd rather be dead
[Chorus]
'Cause baby when you're gentle
It's all that it takes
And oh, my heart breaks
Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
Yeah, oh, my heart breaks
Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
Oh, my heart breaks
Yeah, oh, my soul shakes
