This is the cd I've been listening to kind of Non-Stop as of recently. Yep... I capitalize Non Stop now because of Hamilton apparently... we're just going to move passed that and get onto the Ed Sheeran review.
This is really good. You know how you can tell I really love it? It's not Hamilton, it's not a musical and I'm still listening to it... and I said "it's better than Joanne by Lady Gaga." GASP! It might just be because I have a massive crush on Ed Sheeran... especially after listening to this album... but yeah.
So there are lots of really sad songs on this that could make you cry. Castle on The Hill can get you kind of emotional, Happier is one I think I'd cry to on a bad day... Supermarket Flowers makes me want to cry every time listening to it and the very last song on the cd is Save Myself... which is just the kicker. I mean this in a good way... obviously I like them. It's nice to have some really emotional songs on a cd along with so many fun and sexy songs.
And there are plenty of sexier songs and romantic songs. Barcelona is what I'm listening to now... that's a fun one. Shape of you... okay let's talk about some of the lyrics to Shape of You... because it implies hooking up with a girl after eating and stealing food at an all you can eat Chinese Buffet... like what? He is my soul mate. Lol. That's the best thing ever.
I feel like there's some sort of positive body image in this because he talks a lot about eating food and drinking... and he sort of applauds a man for drinking beer and having a six pack but he also mentions eating doritos and crisps... it's kind of cool how much he mentions food. Food and Ed Sheeran are 2 of my favorite things... so that makes me happy!
There are also lots of Irish-sounding songs. Nancy Mulligan- which is about his grandparents (I think) and Gallway Girl... and then Barcelona and Bibia Be Ye Ye have a spanish vibe to them... which is cool. It's just cool that he does so much with the different sounds and everything really tells a story that way.
He's also really good at rapping and I like songs like Eraser and New Man where he sings and raps a little bit on... I think that's really cool.
And last but not least... I love how self-referential he is in the songs. Like he mentions writing a song in a lot of these songs... which just makes it seem so much more personal because you know he's writing the song... plus I like the cool meta element of sort of breaking the fourth wall in the songs like that. That's pretty cool!
So yeah. Overall... this is my current favorite album of the year I think... Maybe it's the only one I've heard that is actually from 2017 this year... but I think it will probably end up being one of my favorite albums that aren't about the life and death of Alexander Hamilton.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! Only half an hour left to it... but I guess this is a pretty appropriate review for it! 111
