Back when Ed Sheeran was in his early 20s, he wrote, “And darlin’, I will be lovin’ you til we’re 70.”
With that being nearly 50 years away for him at the time, he didn’t think much of it. But now he is realizing when his fans turn 71, they will be hating his ass.
The same way The Beatles fans hate their asses for asking if we will still love when they are 64. Since now that they and the two surviving members, who lived to surpass that age, are in their 80s.
If I were Sheeran, I would chat with Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr and ask them what he should do when he turns 70. I am sure the two of them went through a lot of emotions when they turned 64, and their fans did, too.
The moral of the story is that you shouldn’t write old ages in your songs when you are in your 20s because one day you will be that old age.
