The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004. The band's debut single Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.
Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand's Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of single Munich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single's chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London's Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.
In June 2007 Editors released a second album, An End has a Start which included the single Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors. This first track was released on June 18th 2007 in the UK, and June 26th in the US, however it was leaked onto the Internet earlier. The album's title track, An End Has A Start was released on September 3rd, The Racing Rats on November 26th, 2007. Following a landmark appearence on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury festival, the album entered at number 1 in the UK album chart.
'In this Light And On This Evening', the third studio album, was released on October 12th 2009. With the heavy synthesizer sound and industrial ring, the album differed immensely from the earlier work of the band. Tom explained this change as a way for the band to try something completely different. Papillon, the first single, was followed by You Don't Know Love. The third single was Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool. The album was inspired by the city of London, both lyrically as musically and debuted at number 1 in the UK album charts.
On April 16th 2012, during the recording of their fourth studio album with producer Flood, Editors announced that Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) was leaving the band basing the decision entirely upon the band's future musical direction.
‘The Weight Of Your Love’, their fourth studio LP, was released on July 2013. It was preceded by the single 'A ton of love, released in May. This is also the first album to feature new band members Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams. It was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville with producer Jacquire King and mixed by Craig Silvey.

Editors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
I'm so glad I did
I'm so glad I've found this
I'm so glad I did
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
It breaks when you don't force it
It breaks when you don't try
It breaks if you don't force it
It breaks if you don't try
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
With one hand you calm me
With one hand I'm still
People are fragile things, you should know by now
Be careful what you put them through
People are fragile things, you should know by now
You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
You'll speak when you're spoken to
He'll speak when he's spoken to
She'll speak when she's spoken to
The lyrics of Editors' song "Munich" are about the fragility of people as beings and the ways in which they can be hurt or damaged by others. The protagonist appears to have found something or someone that has brought them joy and relief, but at the same time recognizes the importance of being careful with fragile things. The repetition of the lines "People are fragile things, you should know by now, be careful what you put them through" reinforces the message and serves as a reminder to be empathetic towards others.
The second half of the song focuses on the role of communication in relationships, specifically the dynamic between the speaker and the person they are addressing. The repeated lines "You'll speak when you're spoken to" suggest a power imbalance, perhaps indicating that the speaker feels they are not being heard or respected. However, the lines "With one hand you calm me, with one hand I'm still" imply a sense of intimacy and mutual understanding between the two individuals.
Overall, the lyrics of "Munich" highlight the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, as well as the need for effective communication in relationships.

Not that this is needed but lyrics (b/c I have nothing to do right now):
I'm so glad I found this. I'm so glad I did.
I'm so glad I found this. I'm so glad I did.
People are fragile things; you should know by now.
Be careful what you put them through.
People are fragile things; you should know by now.
You'll speak when you're spoken to.
It breaks when you don't force it. It breaks when you don't try.
It breaks if you don't force it. It breaks if you don't try.
People are fragile things; you should know by now.
Be careful what you put them through.
People are fragile things; you should know. By. Now.
You'll speak when you're spoken to.
With one hand you calm me. With one hand I'm still.
With one hand you calm me. With one hand I'm still.
People are fragile things; you should know by now.
Be careful what you put them through.
People are fragile things; you should know. By. Now.
You'll speak when you're spoken to.
You'll speak when you're spoken to. You'll speak when you're spoken to.
He'll speak when he's spoken to. She'll speak when she's spoken to.
