On “Sweet Architect”, Emeli begs a higher power, who she dubs an “architect”, to keep supporting her and remember her. Although Emeli said she didn’t want Long Live the Angels to be a breakup album, “Sweet Architect” could be referencing her divorce from Adam Gouraguine.
[Chorus]
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
Build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
So come find my address
And build me up, build me up
[Verse 1]
See we got deep love, but it's a deeper ocean
Dear God, help us keep floating
Some choke and some panic
See some got a boat, but most haven't
Well dear heaven, you know we're tryna make it
But dear heaven, you know it's complicated
Got deep love, but it's a, a deeper ocean
We got deep love
[Chorus]
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
[Verse 2]
Yeah we're still hearing and we're still breathing
Knee deep with a deep needing
We stay brave though we've been damaged
See most got a heart, but some's savage
Oh dear heaven, I hope you're up to something
'Cause dear heaven, this just can't be for nothing
We're still here, and we're, we're still breathing
Yeah we're still here
[Chorus]
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
And build me up, build me up
[Bridge]
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
Build me up, build me up
[Chorus]
Oh sweet architect
My bones are heavy and my soul's a mess
Come find my address
Build me up, build me up
Oh sweet architect
I've been lonely since the day you left
Come find my address
Build me up, build me up
Sweet Architect was written by James Murray & Emeli Sandé & Jonny Coffer & Mustafa Omer.
Sweet Architect was produced by Jonny Coffer & Mojam.
Emeli Sandé released Sweet Architect on Fri Nov 11 2016.
The “architect” represents God.
Emeli has had religious undertones on her last album and on this one too, she said this whilst explaining the song,
Sweet Architect is one of the realest songs on the album because it’s not really speaking about my personal experiences in a relationship, its not speaking about relationships at all....
