Gwen Stefani - Early Winter lyrics
Stefani shot the video in three cities of the European Union, in Milan, Italy, in Prague, Czech Republic and Budapest, Hungary during the European-leg of her The Sweet Escape Tour. In Milan she shot some parts at a church and hotel. In Hungary she chose one of the railway stations of Budapest, the Nyugati Railway Station for the video-shoot.
Gwen Stefani - Early Winter Lyrics
You,
You know how to get me so low
My heart had a crash when we spoke
I can't fix what you broke
And you,
You always have a reason
Again and again, this feeling
Why do I give in?
And I always was
Oh always
Was one for crying
I always was one for tears
CHORUS
The sun's gettin' cold it's snowin'
Looks like an early winter
For us
Looks like an early winter
For us
An early winter
Oh, I need you to turn me over
It's said,
The map of the world is on you
The moon gravitates around you
The seasons escape you
And I always was
Oh always
Was one for crying
I always was one for tears
No, I never was
Oh never
One for lying
You lied to me
All these years
CHORUS
The sun's gettin' cold it's snowin'
Looks like an early winter
For us
Looks like an early winter
For us
An early winter
Oh, I need you to turn me over
Whyyyyyyyy?
Why do you act so stupid?
Oh, whyyyyyy?
You know that I'm always right
It looks like an early winter
For us
It hurts and I can't remember
Sunlight
An early winter
For us
The leaves are changing color
For us
REPEAT SEVERALL TIMES:
It gets too much
It gets so much
Startin' over and over and over again...

"Early Winter" received positive reviews from music critics. Pitchfork Media stated that the song "proves that Stefani still has the ability to elevate an otherwise ordinary rock song to another level." The Guardian referred to it as stylish, and The New York Times called it one of the album's most tuneful tracks. PopMatters noted it as a highlight of the album and compared the song's vulnerability to No Doubt's "Don't Speak". The NME characterized it as "one of the few potential hits" from The Sweet Escape. Entertainment Weekly described it as a "majestic power ballad" on which Stefani's "Orange County-girl voice doesn't seem genuinely sad." Slant Magazine compared "Early Winter" to the songs that Stefani wrote with No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal for the album and stated that it sounded "less forced and much less self-conscious" than other songs. John Murphy of MusicOHM called the song's lyrics as the best written by her and calls the song "palatable".
