Ed’s album '+' features a host of very special songs. Small Bump is a true story, with the most heart-wrenching twist,
about a friend and her baby. Lego House
is a love song that imagines a world where you can, (“pick up the pieces and
build a lego house, and if things go wrong we can knock it down!”). Wake Me Up was written while sat,
really drunk, under a tree by Jamie Foxx’s pool (that’s another story). Grade 8 (“your body is my ball-point
pen/ and your mind is my new best friend…”) sees Ed as a worrier/warrior with
bloodshot eyes, his heartstrings being twanged by a virtuoso guitarist. The
truth is, there’s not a bad song on it, precisely because Ed wouldn’t dream of
allowing there to be a bad song on it, he’s that type of guy. As you will soon
see.
“I have slept on a different sofa every night for two and a half years
so I can do this,” Ed says. “But the sofa thing can get lonely. I’m ready for
my own place now; I’m ready for the next level.”
