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.

Sugar
Editors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to realize when I'm gone
My my, my my
You are the only thing I want to own
There's sugar on your soul
You're like no one I know
You're the life of another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you
Don't leave, don't leave
When you're lost in the moment, I am home
I tried, I tried
To make you realize when I'm gone, gone, gone
There's sugar on your soul
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you
It breaks my heart to love you
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul
There's sugar on your soul
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world
You swallow me whole
With just a mumbled hello
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you
Don't leave, don't leave
I want you to realize when I'm gone
The song "Sugar" by Editors is a love song that speaks of the intense longing and desire for someone who seems to have a magical hold over the singer. The opening lines "Don't leave, don't leave, I want you to realize when I'm gone" sets the tone for the entire song as the singer tries to convince their beloved that they shouldn't let them go. The phrase "My my, my my, you are the only thing I want to own" shows the depth of the singer's desire to possess the object of their affection, which reveals a certain vulnerability in the lyrics.
The chorus, which is repeated multiple times in the song, mentions "sugar on your soul", which can be interpreted as the person being irresistible, charming, and pleasant to be around. The phrase "You're like no one I know, You're the life of another world" further emphasizes this otherworldly attraction that the singer has for their beloved. The second verse talks of the power that this person has over the singer, as they are able to "swallow me whole, with just a mumbled hello". The juxtaposition of something as simple as a "mumbled hello" and the intense reaction it causes, shows the depth of the singer's feelings.
Overall, "Sugar" by Editors is a beautifully written song that captures the intense emotions felt when hopelessly in love with someone. The lyrics are both vulnerable and powerful, and the melody complements them perfectly, creating an unforgettable experience for the listener.

Lemme give you some context, Editors came along as the poster child of the greatest of the times in the 2000's on the likes of Interpol, The Strokes, The Killers, YYY's, etc.
Editors was the UK part but a sort of follower, not the sort of bands that created the movement called Revival.
If you listen to Interpol back in the 1sts aslbums you'll hears a lot os similarities and it's bc they took what they did and make it different (I woulnd't say better cause both have their charm) the thing is...
Editors always got better every album and Interpol didn't, the opposite, then by the 3rd Editors album the get their sound and from there they improve every year, and actually is one of the few bands that (ironically) survived the movement
The race started as a copy guys but they acquired their sound and made their own way, however the reason you never heard of them as you did about, like, The Strokes is because "the first to land are the first to shine" even if the band is better than the originals, being first is more important than being better
Take The Beatles from The Rolling Stones - or The Rolling Stones from Pink Floyd or Led Zepelling from Black Sabbath

"Sugar"
Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.
My my, my my,
You are the only thing I want to own.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
Don't leave, don't leave,
When you're lost in the moment, I am home.
I tried, I tried
To make you realize when I'm gone, gone, gone.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
It breaks my heart to love you.
There's sugar on your soul,
There's sugar on your soul.
There's sugar on your soul,
You're like no one I know,
You're the life of another world.
You swallow me whole,
With just a mumbled hello,
And it breaks my heart to love you, it breaks my heart to love you.
Don't leave, don't leave,
I want you to realize when I'm gone.

Depeche Mode is not an unrecognized bang. They're known as being one of the best bands to come out of the 80'.s.
