I love how much you love Ed's music. And honestly it's okay if your not fully focusing on the lyrics on the first listen. The lyrics are so heavy and even more heavy if you know the meaning of them. Ed is one of those musicians who a lot of people just love to hate and I don't get it. His music and lyricism and voice is just amazing. And I am proud to say that I have/still love every single project he has done. Yeah some songs here and there I don't vibe with as much, but overall, I have loved every single album so far.

I think Colourblind is actually meant to be a dark Perfect on purpose, given that both are about his love for his now wife. She had a health scare that really shook them, and I feel like this is him doing an update to Perfect which was their first few months of a relationship, to maturing to what it is now theyre married with 2 kids and dealing with what life throws at them

thanks for the reaction! ed is one of my favorite artists and it really bothers me that he is only judged on his hits without getting recognition for the artist that he is. this album is already one of my favorites of his precisely because of the honesty of his lyrics and the courage he had to replace a 10 year job with one he did in just 1 month. again, thank you!!

Wild that you immediately picked up on Life Goes On using country chords considering Ed just played it at the ACM awards with country artist Luke Combs and it works perfectly. Also I know you were talking about it from a music standpoint but the idea of Colourblind being the dark version of Perfect makes so much sense even lyrically. I’m now starting to wonder if that’s on purpose. My favorites on this album are always changing but I think End Of Youth, Life Goes On, and The Hills of Aberfeldy are my top three, seriously an incredible album!

I agree on Life Goes On! It immediately brought me back to Thinking Out Loud
This album its amazing, its goes direct to the heart, speaks about loss , griff and when you feel lost in life . Its an album for life and dral whith emotions. The lyrics, the voice, the videos and we have a documentary. You just connect whith this album
Knowing what Ed has been thrue this songs hits extra hard
new lovejoy ep!!!
Masterpiece by Ed Sheeran & Aaron Dessner
This album is just amazing. "The Hills of Aberfeldy" got me goooood..
Ed really put his foot in this one. This album was spectacular. An instant classic.
I love the whole album but The Hills of Aberfeldy just gets to my heart, it feels so warm and nostalgic, is my favorite
I love Lewis too. He goes straight to the heart.
Salt water is my favorite but curtains is always stuck in my head. My kids know all the words to eyes closed and life goes on
I love this album - and really enjoyed your breakdown of the songs! First time watching your channel, earned a sub 🥳 Also your mug is awesome! 🦓
Thank you so much!
I saw him perform recently here in Dallas and he is AMAZING! If he’s coming to your area, you should definitely go see him! He performed songs from this album and it’s just stunning! End of Youth is one of my top 5 for him!
☆ i love ed - i am a female- senior citizen-forever a hippie that was introduced to folk music by some of the most iconic people with souls-some are still with us. I also love Reggae, goepel, and world music. (+++) ☆ I'm Absolutely obsessed and listen to him constantly. Putting out this album was therapy to him and me and others. I sing along with a ten year old boy that I helped raise. ☆ Ed is a gem with a good heart and magical power and voice. ☆ I'm ecstatic that he put these songs out. Music can be very cathartic. ☆ i had never watched your videos. I'm hooked! ☆ loved your assistance with this music. I'll tell you that I loved your mention of ADHD-- I certainly related. ☆ good stuff! ! loved that you hadn't listened to this - when he catches you it's great!
the prediction thing you mentioned at eyes closed, I had the same thing listening to saturdays by louis tomlinson. the whole time I was waiting for the drums and they didn’t came in for quite a long time and it felt so good when the drums came in
The hills of aberfeldy ed sheeran wrote it like 2014 i recall it in an interview he had that planned all along that it would be the last song in subtract but then again divide collaboration 6 equals like.. ed sheeran thankyou so much for these songs all of the songs ❤❤❤ hes the best GOAT would you all gree to me
I'm new to your reactions and this one was wonderful. I hope you dive into the lyrics and his reasions behind them. Ed is a master of lyrics. He was in a rough place when he wrote all of this. I know he'll help many others, which is the gift of music. I'll be listening to your other reactions now. Thank you.
Ed sheeran went back to hsi rouths and its amazing , an album directly to the heart. Great to watch you react blake 👌🙌 my favorites are End of youth, eyes closed, curtains and vega .
The pause you took to explain stuff about the levels not being turned up etc. Because I have found myself wondering why songs sound better on this channel than they do on my spotify
Amazing ❤
I love Hills of Aberfeldy so much because of it's connection to Wild Mountain Thyme. Ed covered that song with Passenger. If you haven't listened to it, highly recommend
A lot of artists have put out albums this year of self-reflection. The pandemic has put a lot of people into their feelings, and Ed Sheeran has been through a lot over the past couple of years. He lost his friend, which helped him get his deal, and then his wife had cancer. He went through a lot over the last 2-3 years.
Blake love your work! absolute fan of ed and his music and for some reason when you're mentioning how you want Ed to hit a certain note in Life Goes On for some reason, I keep thinking of Beautiful by Labrinth is where you were going with what you were saying!
this album really reminds me of his divide album, i'm so happy to hear his old sound coming back in this one
Honestly, there are songs that remind me of each album and I love that, especially as the end of an era for him. Although, it is the album that made me cry the most, absolutely bawled my eyes out at Salt Water, End of youth, Life goes on, Spark and Sycamore (might be forgetting something) . Literally like half of the album lol
End of youth is my favorite ❤
I KNEW IT!! ITS NOT JUST ME!! FIRST TIME I HEARD THE ALBUM, COLOURBLIND HIT ME SINCE I ALREADY THOUGHT, MAN ISNT THIS THE PERFECT OF THE ALBUM?? GOOD TO KNOW YOU ALSO NOTICED IT!!
Much better than the 2021 album
Hey i love when you do albums by any artists and when its not on patreon😊
Loved your mug
Dusty, Spark, and Curtains are my faves 💜 Boat also... this album was brilliant.
The Hills of Aberfeldy hits different
The album is a masterpiece!!!
you need to do the bonus songs
The best spot on the album is in Sycamore when the strings come in with "We are glorious". It makes me cry. Every time.
Forever will respect Ed, I really wanted to love this album, acoustic singer-songwriter is his genre but this album sounds like one song and I know that's what Ed wanted but for me as a listener, it's what turns me off an album so easily. Very much loved boat, end of youth and eyes closed tho. His docu on Disney+ is amazing and a must watch, cried all 4 episodes
in 19:55 you say that life goes on using country chords. Ed sheeran just release new single life goes on ft. luke combs. You must listen it..👍🏼
sorry my broken english
Subtract is epic. And do you also know Loreena McKennitt - Annachie Gordon. The lyrics take it to a whole new level.
Beginning of Spark sounds like Stay with Me Sam Smith - "Guess it's true I'm no good at a one night stand" I was stuck on it for forever too!
The head voice on Borderline though
I just experienced the new Jonas Brother’s album for the first time. I think you’d enjoy making a video reaction on that one too. Last song went crazy.
Recommend listening to stoned from the deluxe version of the album ❤
Has anyone noticed the chorus of eyes closed is chorus of dive
The New Lovejoy EP is out!!!!
I really like the way you work. Lyrics are important of course. I’m really into lyrics..
This album maybe did not gain the expected numbers but its such a masterpiece
