So it was Ed Sheeran’s concert last night. And I’m still reeling from it.
He. Was. Fucking. Amazing.
Worth every penny. Worth all the sweaty humans I had to push through. Worth all the aches afterwards.
To hear him play live is such an experience. I really want to document this moment so that i can always look back and see how lucky I was, to be able to hear him.
I first heard his voice on the afternoon of 21 August, 2011. (Yes I remember the exact date.) I was in my aunt’s car in the UK, and A Team came on radio. I remember falling immediately in love with the voice, and the beats of the song. But there was no name mentioned. It was only the next day that I heard it again, and I wrote down the lyrics I could I identify and I googled them.
That was the first time, Ed’s name was shown to me. From then on, the floodgates opened up to this world of just amazing songwriting. After A-Team came Lego House. Then Small Bumps (Favourite song of all time, but he never plays it for gigs because it’s just too sad.) then his older E.P.s. I have always loved his live performances, the things that man can do to a loop pedal. *breath* Gurl, that man has some serious skills.
I admire him for his one-man-show. I love him more because of it. [One of the times he did a show with back up singers and musicians, they forgot the lyrics. -___-] I swore I would see him live one day. And now I have. It was worth the wait and the years of pining.
I want to let him know how much his music means to me, and how emotional I was last night. When I heard Lego House, with him playing it less than 15 metres away from me, I couldn’t help but cry. Because I remember when I first heard him, he was just starting to pick up pace in the UK. No one really knew who he was. And now, he’s this worldwide phenomenon that has taken the world by storm.
Ed. I’m so proud of what you have achieved.
Should this be the last thing I see I want you to know it's enough for me 'Cause all that you are is all that I'll ever need
I’m so in love.
Fun fact: he is just a day older than I am. (What am I doing with my life?)
