Ed Sheeran has a new album coming out, and today he released a sneak peek of the first single, Eyes Closed.
The singer has already said that Subtract is about some of the tough times he went through recently. In a matter of months, his wife was diagnosed with a tumor while she was pregnant with their second child that doctors couldn’t deal with until after she gave birth, and he also lost his friend Jamal Edwards suddenly.
As I was listening to Eyes Closed, I felt it was Sheeran singing about his friend. And then I closed my eyes and started picturing my late parents. So I started to cry. But I wasn’t sad.
If this is what his album, which comes out on May 5th, is going to be like, I will make sure to stock up on tissues and make an appointment with my therapist because I am going to need both.
