This has got to be one of those days I'll remember for ever.
I learnt of who Ed Sheeran was around May. I saw a promotional or sponsored video called The A Team on Facebook so I watched it. Fell in love with it and thought maybe I might fall in love with the rest of his songs. Downloaded the rest of his assumingly 3 albums plus extras. Listened to all the songs and just loved it. After listening to You need Me, I don't need You, as it was the last song from his album, I learned the lyrics to this fast paced song within 3 days. It was so fun to learn LOL
Then I witnessed the release of his album + . I love all of his songs. So inspirational and meaningful. Out of the whole album, I like A Team, Lego House, You need Me I don't need You, This, Kiss Me and Give me Love. Kiss Me and Give me Love legitimately made me cry. Took me back to my own memories. Such sad songs Sheeran, why?!?!
Anyways today I finished school at 12.03pm since a majority of us, yr12s officially, have free periods and can go home straight away. I wanted to see Ed in the city despite the boiling hot weather which I had sport prior! :( Wynee and Mai tagged along. I felt horrible having to let them come with me all the way to the city to see some guy. To me, he has songs that's touched me. We browsed around the city, bought food then made our way to Circular Quay. They shifted locations to the Overseas Passenger Terminal so we sat and waited. This was between 4-5pm. Eventually Ed came and everyone stood up and cramped together.
He was so good live. Unbelievably talented and ridiculously cool. He didn't care he swore. That was him. He's a chilled guy. He sang 5 songs. In order, Grade 8, Lego House, Give Me Love, The A-team (which he told the story behind it) and finally You Need Me I don't need You.
By the time it got to the last song, it started to sprinkle and Ed thought to play around with that. He asked everyone to chant 'F**k the rain! We don't care!' that's how cool he has. Oh did I mention his hair is so ginger and his cheeks are so pink haha it's so adorable eeep! Well he ended the show and said Byebye Thankyou! And zoomed off the other direction while the rest of us ran the other direction since it coincidentally rain after he ended. Headed home. Sat on the train. Humid as hell. Now relaxing.
Thankyou so much Wynee and Mai for coming with me. Sorry if we had to walk alot and endure this hot weather but it meant so much to me!! Thanks so so so SO much! I love you girls! Tuesday, November 8, 2011 9:55 PM
