Ahhh shushhhh <3
I was being nice like :P
York get ready.
You bitches don’t even know. I’M NOT AFRIAD.
Same applies to shaving the genitals etc.
So this might end up like review type post.
Anyway, his album is the most eclectic album I’ve heard in years. Some songs boast beatboxing layered over acoustic guitars and super-fast flows of witty lyrics. Then you come to songs like “Give Me Love”, “Kiss Me” and they kinda remind me of those old seannead songs (thats probably the wrong spelling of that word), that the older generation tend to belt out down the pub after they’ve had a few. The haunting, wailing melodies are beautiful and normally that stuff drives me insane because it’s usually moany and cliched. This album is completely different to anything I’ve heard before. Sheeran’s more than “the next big thing”, he’s got to much lasting power and talent that. Something which in the midst of all the auto-tuned sassy girl singers like Jessie J and boyband crap such as the wanted (which I’ll admit I am partial to for a little pick me-up) is incredibly hard to find nowdays.
There’s a deadly interview with him where he explains drawing his influences from so many genres and touring with such varying acts by saying “I think if you take away genre barriers, good music is good music. If you’re a bad lyricist, I think someone who only listens to acoustic music would recognise that in hip hop just as much as someone from the grime scene would recognise a bad singer-songwriter.I think it’s a situation where musical talent recognises other musical talent.”
So yeah go download this album, it’s brilliant and not just shiny pop-indie-folk, or a prick with a guitar and a few good lyrics trying to be cool (I’m looking at you Matt Cardle).
Stand out tracks: Give Me Love, Lego House, Grade 8, This City.
Actually fuck it go download the whole thing and if you think it’s shit don’t blame me cause you’ve obviously got no taste.
Christmas Tea Bags

Positives:
-Went to all my classes today.
-Actually UNDERSTOOD what was going on in aforementioned classes.
-Saw one of the bffs that I haven’t seen in weeks.
-Looked decent enough going to college. (this one is selfish and shallow and probably a giant lie.)
Negatives:
-Actually full on made a fucking twat outta meself in the seminars cause I’ve been up since 7 hopped up on pain meds and I kept losing my train of thought and contradicting myself. SCARLEH.
-Made a twat outta myself in a social context. Hate my life.
-I’ve had like 2 hours sleep.
-A homeless man tried to show me his penis. It was funny/disturbing. I ran away.
It’s been a weird few days. I’m single again and IDK if I like it. it was my idea so I’m just gonna have to suck it up.
