A Born Entertainer
Ed Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter, musician, and an occasional actor. He was born in Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire on February 17, 1991, and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk. He attended the prestigious Academy of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey from the young age of 18 in autumn 2009. Sheeran released his debut album titled + on September 9, 2011, and was surprised at the massive success of his album in the UK. Since then he has released a second album in 2014 with his third album slated to be released in 2017. He has also acted in several movies like Home and Away, The Bastard Executioner and Bridget Jones’ Baby.
Love in an Unlikely Place
In his new single “Shape of You,” Sheeran sings about meeting a girl at an unexpected place and then trying to work out a relationship with her. The encounter starts with the excitement of physical attraction between the man and the woman and then trying to find a deeper meaning to it. The man cajoles the woman to give him a chance and to try to make this relationship work. It’s a lament about finding physical gratification easily but not finding fulfilling emotions in the relationship. It is also about the thrill of finding new things about each other as the couple try to understand each other on an emotional level.
The music is sparse with a single guitar playing all through the track. Sheeran sings in an intimate way as his vocals caress the rambling guitar sounds. One gets the feel of a lonely soul trying to forge a connection with another soul despite numerous barriers. It’s a very personal song about trying to build love while taking hesitant steps towards each other.
