One of my favorite artists is Ed Sheeran.
His songs are just so real, so filled with emotion, and his voice is so soothing and beautiful. The catchy lyrics go so well together with the harmonies that he writes. Let’s be real, though, they are all pretty damn catchy. Ed knows how to write songs that will attract his fans. Here are some of my favorite Ed Sheeran songs. Some are well known, and some are not so popular but still so filled with emotion and soul.
“And I'm on my way / I still remember these old country lanes / When we did not know the answers.” An upbeat tune, that morphs into a reminiscent and somewhat sad collection of stories, this song conveys the importance of memories and finding your way back to your roots when you’ve been away for a while. No matter where you go in life, remember to go home once in awhile. “I can’t wait to go home.”
“Let’s free fall and see where we land,” is a cute little lyric filled with hope and possibility. This short song is packed with passion.
From the movie “The Fault in Our Stars,” this soft and sweet song is one that will soothe and guide you into restful sleep or at least relaxation. “Open your eyes and see the way our horizons meet.” How can you not love that? “All of these stars will guide us home.”
One lyric is “You look so beautiful in this light / Your silhouette over me / The way it brings out the blue in your eyes / Is the Tenerife sea.” Need I say more? “Just say the word and I’ll disappear into the wilderness.”
If you need a catchy song that is simultaneously a reminder of the simple things in life, like doing nothing with the special person or people in your life- this one’s perfect for you. The best lyrics in this one are “We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica / We can go where you want / Say the word and I’ll take ya / But I’d rather stay on the sofa / On the sofa, with you.” So precious.
“You Need Me, I Don’t Need You”
I would classify it as rap, but the lyrics of this one are just amazing and so sassy: “I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool /I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School / I came fast with the way I act, right / I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe.” A bit forward, but it’s the truth. Many artists today don’t write their own songs.
If you love fall like I do, this song is perfect for walking through the woods, or any scenic stroll. Listen to this one and you’ll “Float down / Like autumn leaves” through the air and down to the ground. You’ll feel weightless.
“You’re the only one who knows I lied.” It’s a hint at how much people outside a relationship don’t know about everything under the surface. A lot goes into a relationship that isn’t seen by anyone else except the people in it.
Check them out if you haven’t heard any of them or some of them!
