Capturing the hearts of millions.

Why I Love Ed Sheeran
Rolling Stone

Everyone knows who Ed Sheeran is. How can you not when he has had hits like "The A-Team," "Sing," "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud." Okay, even if you don't listen to music you could still recognize him as the ginger British kid.

2011 was the year "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" came out, and being as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am, I was on Twitter reading tweets about the movie, going through some PTSD that it was over. But anyway, I stumbled upon a video with Rupert Grint in it (Ron Weasley), "Lego House." So obviously I watched it, not knowing that the video would make a huge impact on my life.


This was the first time I saw one of Ed's music videos and I was instantly hooked. This video led me to watching literally every YouTube video that Ed Sheeran is in.

So here are a few reasons why I love him:

1. He's a huge celebrity, but he does not care about what people think of him. He is true to himself and never lets us forget that. He reminds us that it's not what people look like that's important. He was named worst dressed by GQ and he didn't mind,he still has one of the best voices in the game right now.


2. His lyrics never cease to amaze me. His songs and lyircs range from sweet love songs like "Thinking Out Loud" to hip-hop vibes like "Sing" to spitting some sick lyrics like he does in "Take It Back." Basically what I'm saying is that he can sing the alphabet and it would be beautiful.


3. Despite his fame, he's just a person like us, which he shows us time and time again.

4. OK, let's be honest, his voice is majestic. Here is a video displaying his beautiful range


5. His concerts are amazing. I got the pleasure of seeing him live this past summer in Philadelphia. There was a point in the concert where his guitar string broke and he did not let that stop the show in any way. He took off the guitar, and continued to "Sing" (no pun intended there).

6. Speaking of his concerts, it is only him on stage up there. He does not have any back up singers or band. It's just him, his guitar, and a loop pedal.


7. Ed overcame a stuttering problem he had when he was a child. However, he did not let that let him stop chasing after his dream. This shows how incredibly motivated he was to pursue his passion of singing no matter how many setbacks he has had.

8. Also, have you heard any of his mashups? He combines 50 Cent's"In Da Club" Iggy's "Fancy" with his song "You need me, I don't need you." He combines Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" with his "Take It Back." He combines.. okay you get the picture. He combines songs that normally wouldn't be combines yet he does it perfectly. This is one of my personal favs.


9. Oh yeah, tbt to that time he played little orphan Annie on Jimmy Kimmel Live. What celebrity would wear a dress on live television? Ed Sheeran that's who.


10. Finally, who wouldn't love this face?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
