https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk Let's hope Ed Sheeran doesn't name his next album PEMDAS en-us 2017-11-17 19:11:48 UTC 2025-10-27 16:29:39 UTC hello@padlet.com hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208265839 I got recommended this album and I am really glad I listened to it. There are a lot of songs I love on it. There are also some songs I didn't like as much. Bibia Be Ye Ye and Barcelona felt out of place. The rest of the songs felt cohesive. I felt like I was given access to listen to a part of Ed Sheeran's life, because the whole song felt personal to only him. ]]> 2017-11-17 19:14:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208265839 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208269266 This song didn't connect to me until my second or third listen. This song was gonna be a possibility of being added, until I fell in love with it. His voice gets wonderfully raspy the stronger he sings, and I began to love the sound of it. The instruments are simple, and that allows his voice to be on full display.]]> 2017-11-17 19:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208269266 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208270224 I would have included this song if I hadn't exceeded my page limit. I've always been a sucker for sad songs, and this is the penultimate of sad songs. It is about losing his grandmother, written from his mother's perspective. It gives me chills every time I listen to it. ]]> 2017-11-17 19:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208270224 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208271413 I really liked this song for the interesting way he sung it. It is easy for me to relate to the feeling of sacrificing myself to allow others to be happy. I liked the lyrics "They gave me heartache, and in return I gave a song," showing that even still he is giving more. It is hard to be self sacrificing, because it feels like no one cares about you as much as you care about them. This song is a reminder that we matter as much as other people.]]> 2017-11-17 19:28:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208271413 hannatali4 https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208273928 I wish I could have delved into the meaning of the repetition of words throughout the album. Many songs had repeated phrases, such as Dive and Perfect had "Dive into you." I wanted to know if this connected the story of the two songs. Is it the same story sung about in a different way? Galway Girl and Shape of You also had a repetition, probably meaning that its about the same girl. If I had more room in the album review, I might have found all the repetitions and analyzed them.]]> 2017-11-17 19:33:30 UTC https://padlet.com/hannatali4/385izoso04zk/wish/208273928
