It would be safe to say that my favorite types of songs are ones that send positive messages, tell stories, or release good vibes. And, it happens to be that there are a lot of Ed Sheeran songs that do just that! He accurately represents almost all possible feelings on the emotional spectrum — including pure happiness. Some of these songs are just the epitome of that feel-good feeling and are almost guaranteed to make you feel happy wherever you may be in life.
On that note, here is a list of some of my favorite Ed Sheeran songs. You've definitely heard some on the radio, but maybe not others. Use them as a pick-me-up, a mood-booster, or even add them to your playlist :)
1. Bibia Be Ye Ye
This song is for the times you feel less than perfect and you don't know how it's all going to turn out. (You may need to read the lyrics for some parts).
2. Castle on the Hill
About the joys of childhood; even though time passes and things change, feelings might never change.
3. Hearts Don't Break Round Here
A song expressing the security of a place where you know you are completely safe.
4. How Would You Feel
A song about unasked questions.
5. Thinking Out Loud
The Ed Sheeran song that most people know (besides Shape of You) that's almost guaranteed to be played at a wedding.
6. Perfect
The equivalent of "Thinking Out Loud" from his newest album, Divide.
7. What Do I Know?
A message to the world that puts everything into perspective and reminds us of what really matters.
Remember, whatever you may be worrying about right now is most likely not going to affect you as much as you might think. Give yourself permission, then, to take a deep breath and let go.
