Perfection

Ed Sheeran is perfection. Now, I'll be the first to say that I didn't always love Ed Sheeran, or really like his music at all and this time last year, I would have never said that he is perfection. However, Ed Sheeran slowly won me over this summer with the release of his album X (multiply). There is no comparison whatsoever between this album to his A Team days, that's for sure. Ed Sheeran just went to another level on this one, as the album is more raw and the songs take an almost soulful feel. The song that ultimately got me hooked is Thinking Out Loud. I couldn't even tell you how many times I've listened to this song, and still love it. I personally find it to be a great song to blast in the car and sing (to the best of your ability) your heart out with Ed Sheeran. While the song itself is amazing, like wedding song material amazing, just yesterday I discovered the music video, and sure enough, that too is amazing. So, listen to the song, enjoy the absolutely beautiful video, and prepare to be won over by Ed Sheeran (that is if you weren't already an Ed Sheeran fan before). ENJOY (:

Now that The Script dedication week is over, I'm changing things up a little bit and sharing with you a new, different song that may take more than just one listen before you form your thoughts on it. Today, I want to introduce you to Andrew Hozier Byrne (a.k.a. Hozier). I just recently started listening to his music at the end of summer and the more I listen to it, the more I find that I actually and surprisingly really like it. His songs, while very unique and different, are strangely interesting and a nice change from the usual songs and artists you hear everyday. Not to mention, his songs make for some GREAT study tunes. So, the song that first got me interested in Hozier, and that I hope will get you interested in him as well is Like Real People Do. There's just something about the music and lyrics of this song that make it very soothing and mellow. So, expand your musical tastes and give it a try. I hope you like it!
