And there’s something very freeing about being like, “Yeah, this is what’s f***ing going on, and I don’t care how people take it. And then waking up in the morning at six to your daughter being like, “Hey, let’s eat porridge.”Įd Sheeran Tells Apple Music About Finding Freedom In Honesty, Fighting The Lawsuit, and Capturing What He’s Gone Through on His New Album…Įd: The thing that it’s quite freeing is usually if we did an interview, there’d be things that I’d be like, I’m not going to talk about that because that’ll be sensationalized and go to a thing. The thing about grieving or even anxiety about Cherry’s health or feeling depressed and stuff like that, none of that matters with your kids because they’re just like… I would go to bed crying, I’d cry myself to sleep after spending hours and hours at Jamal’s mural and I’d get in at two and I just remember just sobbing. And that’s either going to be another bad day or it might be a good day. And then it gets to midnight and then the next day begins. Just all of these things like that, those days were horrible days. One of the things that I realized most in making this record and feeling the way I felt throughout Cherry’s cancer diagnosis and Jamal dying, and the court case, and then Shane dying first day of the court case. I feel that I don’t want to give too much context and hammer it home, because I don’t want people listening to Eyes Closed and be like, “This is about Ed’s friend that died.” I want people to listen to it and relate it to their own life. It’s an album about… grief and depression and stuff. I sent this record to the record label, and they were like, “Is it a breakup album?” And it’s not. Each my albums, I’ve always been like, well, I know I’ve got this and I know I’ve got this and I know I’ve got this.Įd Sheeran Tells Apple Music About Making an Album About Grief and Depression and Talking It a Day at a Time… And it’s not even necessarily a risk because it is what my fans originally liked me for, which was singer-songwriter stuff. There’s a bonus of the album with eight songs and that’s all that I wrote in that time. Whereas this one, I wrote for a month and all of those songs are coming out. It’s foreign territory for me… even with Plus or Multiply, it’s like you write for three years and you pick the best songs and then that’s the album. So it was like, and it’s songs like Sycamore, which is one of my favorite songs that I’ve… That’s what I find really uncomfortable about the release of the album is I have no idea. As I’m getting older, I’m getting less uncomfortable just being comfortable in my own skin, I guess, and not afraid what people think.Įd Sheeran Tells Apple Why Releasing ‘-‘ is Foreign Territory to Him…Īaron will tell you this, but he sent me seven instrumentals one day and I sent them all back in two and a half hours and we have all the time stamps on it. I think it’s my most uncomfortable record. I hate it when artists go, “It’s my most personal record yet,” because I feel like each record I put out is super personal. And I feel like this record is definitely the most human that I’ve been. This is stuff that I’m still going through, I’m still processing. The reason I’ve cried during the interview is this is real life for me. There’s probably stuff in this interview that’s going to be sensationalized and make headlines and…I hope people just see me as a human being and not a statistic crazed pop monster. And I do make mistakes, but the album that I’ve made is about being honest. I am who I am, and I’m definitely not a perfect human being.
