Then I Met Ed

    I was so through with mainstream music.
    I had just listened to the "hit new single" of a highly famed pop star. I did not understand how someone who in my opinion lacked both talent and passion was so successful in an industry that truly amazing musicians struggled to make a living in. I felt like the musicians of today were becoming more and more manufactured, pumped out of their factory-like records labels as though they were cheap clothing from an overseas sweatshop. I needed to do some serious soul searching. Not within my own soul, but for musicians that had soul. I needed someone who carried with in themselves the passion, dedication and actual talent that their predecessors held so dearly.
    And then I met Ed. As in Ed Sheeren, my musical savior. He came highly recommended from a friend of mine, who after hearing of my musical crisis thought that he was ever needed antidote. The first song I heard by him was entitled "Give Me Love". And in love I was. I went on to listen to his song " You Need Me, I Don't Need Me", which wasn't exactly PG, but wasn't unnecessarily obscene.
And so began my infatuation with Ed Sheeren. Of course, at some point I will have to find at least one other musician to put on my playlist, but for now, Ed will do.
