I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you
I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
This is killing me
This is killing me

No mention of the Ed Sheeran collabs album 3 days in which is doing all kinds of numbers.
Came to post this - I got a copy of it on vinyl over the weekend.

Hate him all you want, he makes some great tracks - Cross Me, Beautiful People, Take me back to London are great tracks.

Ed's ability to turn his hand to different genres is pretty impressive.

:drool:

I was indifferent towards Ed for a long time because Shape Of You/Castles On The Hill/Galway Girl got absolutely hammered and I was sick of them after a few weeks. Always been able to appreciate his ability though. It's actually incredible how many hits he's been able to carve out on this project, I like literally every track.

The Meek and Travis Scott tracks are my scene and they're brilliant. The Stormzy track too - I could say good things about everything on the album.

I need to listen to it through a couple of more times. The one that i didn't take to was "Remember the name" with Eminem / 50 Cent - maybe that'll grow on me.

Ed got a lot of flack and i reckon some of that is down to his image - i've seen people refer to him as the noughties "David Gray." I think the main issue is the radio's inclination to, as you say, "absolutely hammer" his hits to the point of saturating the airwaves. You only have to look at the names on the No.6 collaboration project to appreciate his credibility and understand that he is respected by other artists in the industry.

At face value (and appreciate this is stereotyping), you wouldn't put Ed and Stromzy down as likely mates, but Stormzy speaks very highly of Ed. Whilst not crediting Ed for Stormzy's success, and of course some of it is reciprocal by allowing Ed to cross-genres, but having Stormzy guest appear in the Shape of You performance at the Brits will have created a buzz that helped Stormzy on his way up to the mainstram rather than grime staying in the relative periphery.

Cubscouts are screaming,
Needing icescreaming and all the pleasures of June
I'm in a parked car.
Flowers seem friendly and people in hall ways feel walls.
Now it is night time maybe we?e cruising avoiding the anti-cruise.
Oh I don't really know where we are.

That whole album is just incredible. Those damn robots better go on tour again. Would hate to never have seen them live.
