The Divide Album: My Favorite Songs

Ed Sheeran took a break from the world in 2016 leaving us with only one good bye tweet. He basically fell off the face of the planet and I had no idea what to do with my life. Then on January 1st 2017 Ed Sheeran graced our world with his presence tweeting a video about his new album coming soon. Three months later Divide was released and it’s pure greatness. But what else do you expect when it comes to Ed Sheeran. Divide has 16 amazing songs and I'm going to tell you my 4 favorite songs on the album.

1. Dive

When I first heard Dive it was like Ed Sheeran was speaking to my soul; this song is basically me. It’s about Ed telling the girl he likes that if she doesn't really like him then tell him before he falls more in love with her. Which is how I am, I'm an “all or nothing” type of girl.

“So don't call me baby
Unless you mean it
Don't tell me you need me
If you don't believe it
So let me know the truth
Before I dive right into you"

2. Perfect

Perfect is the song I'm going to dance to at my wedding. This is an amazing love songs, one of the best ones that Ed has written. In the song he is talking to the girl he loves and telling her that she is perfect. What girl doesn't want to be told that? Especially in a song.

"Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight”

3. Shape of You

Shape of You was the first song I heard on the album and I just fell in love with it. Even though the song was different than anything I heard him sing and I was a little skeptical of it. Then I heard him sing it live and I was sold. The song it about Ed meeting a girl and saying how he is love with her body. Even though I am a feminist I still love the song.

“I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body"

4. New Man

My last favorite song is New Man, it is a catchy song that I can dance too. New Man is about Ed talking to his ex and telling her that he doesn't want to know about her new boyfriend. The beat of the song is amazing and I can not wait to hear him sing the song live.

“I don't wanna know about your new man
'Cause if it was meant to be
You wouldn't be callin' me up tryin' to"

At the end of the day Divide is just a master piece and each song on the album is unique and lovely in its own way. If I was you I would get my hands on the album as soon as I can.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
