Ed Sheeran is a masterpiece, as a human and as a songwriter. In light of dropping his most recent album, Divide, I have taken on the bold task of ranking Ed Sheeran's top 20 songs. I will warn you, tears were shed and hearts were torn in the making of this list.
1. Little Lady (ft. Mikill Pane), No.5 Collaborations Project
Tears for days. Chills for years. Will make you need to lay in the fetal position. Bring a box of tissues to this listening party if you have never heard this one. Also, you will want to immediately want to donate all your money and time to end sex trafficking.
2. Give Me Love, +
Is Ed Sheeran human?! How?!
3. Tenerife Sea, x
I'm not a sap. You're a sap.
4. Photograph, x
This was played at my high school graduation, and while I don't miss high school (AT ALL) I might've sobbed when I heard the first few chords start to play.
5. Save Myself, ÷
I'm not crying. Also, remember that the man who wrote this song also said this:
6. I See Fire, The Hobbit
Our ginger prince, you completed The Hobbit with this piece.
7. All of the Stars, The Fault in Our Stars
REMEMBER WHEN HE GAVE HER FOREVER IN THE NUMBERED DAYS?!?! I'M FINE! I SWEAR I AM OKAY!!!!!
Okay? Okay.
8. Castle on the Hill, ÷
HONESTLY SUCH A JAM!! It's a road-trip song, it's a chill song, it's a belting song. What more could you want?!
9. Happier, ÷
OH, MY!!! Feels! PURE TALENT FOLKS!!! Are you weeping? Ed Sheeran wrote that. He also said this:
10. Thinking Out Loud, x
ART!!! Honestly, such a swoon. And that music video had us all wanting to learn how to dance.
11. Lego House, +
Iconic Ed song, but also, Ron Weasley is in the music video. You know all those times you were like 'Okay, Ed Sheeran and Ron Weasley look alike?' Everyone else thought so too, so they cast Rupert Grint as Ed Sheeran. Simply iconic.
12. London Bridge (ft Yelawolf), The Slumdon Bridge EP
This is the first of Ed Sheeran I had ever heard, so I'm a little biased to this remix of a classic.
13. Kiss Me, +
And once again, Ed Sheeran made billions of hearts ache.
14. Small Bump, +
This is another one that will make you weep. It's a touching narrative with a very bittersweet ending. I'm not crying, my eyes are sweaty.
15. Wake Me Up, +
This is such an Ed-styled song, but I love it for its sweet nature while being totally unique. Doesn't feed the typical pop love song stereotype at all, just like Ed himself.
16. Drunk, +
This song is intoxicating, just like my love for puns. Also intoxicated? Ed. Frequently.
17. The City, +
"If the city never sleeps, then that makes two."
Relatable for the insomniac in all of us.
18. Perfect, ÷
It's rumored Ed wrote titled this based on himself. I started that rumor, just now, because I think Ed's music is perfect.
19. Bloodstream, x
This is one of those songs that I always mess up my eyeliner if I'm listening to it while I'm getting ready, because I can't help but bop my head.
20. Don't, x
This song is a warning to not mess with Ed's love because that would be mean. Don't be mean.
