The last song on the album sums up the entire album of emotion, with Ed explaining: “It’s a really slow piano ballad with a really heavy dance beat behind it, it’s great."Overpass Graffiti" Lyrics, Composers, Record Label Sandman is a lullaby for Ed’s young daughter Lyra, as he told Dev: “I thought it would be weird not to acknowledge I had become a dad on this record.” 13. “When my mate died in March, there was so much unsaid so I was like if you could have visiting hours in heaven, just five minutes to say ‘hey this is what’s going on and I accept this, I’ll see you when I see you,’” 12. “I processed it so I was upset, but we had the conversation. “My grandmother passed away five years ago, we knew she was going to die so I spent lots of time with her, she wrote me a letter for my wedding day to open. “It’s about coming to the acceptance that death is a part of life. This is a particularly poignant song for Ed, as it was written about the death of his friend. “We just started saying no to things and that song is about the first night we said no to something and enjoyed a night one on one.” 11. “We’d always be out for drinks and catch up and dinners and brunches and we just never had any time for ourselves,” he said. He told Dev it’s inspired by the first time the couple decided to turn down plans and just spend time together. Love In Slow MotionĮd’s tenth track is about spending time with his wife, Cherry. “Every time I would solve a problem another would come,” he said, adding: “I think this is being an adult, when I solved a problem another three would turn up and the song is basically you can’t stop the rain so just accept it.” 10. This one is all about being an adult, with Ed saying it’s inspired by constant problem solving. “I went into the studio and just wrote about being really low on confidence and I think that’s probably one of my favourite songs on the album.” 9. Two StepĮd said he wrote this song from the ‘lowest point of confidence’, telling Dev: “Every song I did, I would send in and just get a lukewarm reaction. This one is a list of things that Ed did with his wife Cherry Seaborn. “So I wrote a song from the point of view of if I die tomorrow, this is what I feel.” 7. “That made me think, my daughter was six months at the time, and if I died she would never know, she would just have people saying ‘he really did love you’. “It’s basically a letter, I had a friend that passed away and his daughter said that he always said ‘I love you’ at the end of every conversation so the last thing he said to her was ‘I love you’. There’s a very special meaning behind Leave Your Lie, with Ed saying it was inspired by his good friend Michael Gudinski who sadly passed away in March “That’s the big ballad I think,” he told Dev, adding: “It’s very slow orchestral, like if people are looking for the wedding song, that’s it.” If you’re looking for that classic Ed Sheeran romance song, this could be it. The fourth track on the album started off as a power ballad, but Ed told us his producer added a ‘really fast’ drum beat behind it. This one is self explanatory, with Ed saying it’s all about him trying to cut out bad habits out of his life. Opening up about his last album, the star added: “People wouldn’t listen to ‘Perfect’ unless ‘Shape of you’ came out.” 3. He said: “It’s just a fun love song to be honest, my rule of thumb is to write songs for radio because that will extend the life span of the album.” Shivers shot right to number one when it was released earlier this month, with Ed revealed he wrote it specifically to be played on the radio. It’s an interesting song because it’s so loud and so quiet and so loud and so quiet, I really like it.” 2.
“It’s like once the door closes and you’re alone with your family the chaos is shut out.
