1
first of all can we just discuss the beauty
2
that is the set today i think it's a hotel
3
i think we're in a hotel
4
i don't know where we are i feel like i've been transported to some magical land
5
this is by far the nicest setup i have ever had for an interview i think it's just
6
because it's your first in person in a while you mentioned
7
that of course yeah uh the last time i was in the city was february of 2020
8
so about what 15 months now and
9
that was the last time i did an artist interview in person I'm
10
so happy that I don't have to do this on zoom.
11
Well, I think my last in -person US interview for radio was probably 2017
12
and really and I haven't been in New York since 2018
13
So am I like the first in that many years?
14
Yeah, well, I did I've just been in LA
15
So I did Corden and so you but yeah other than that then yeah, who's better?
16
I mean so far it's only a couple minutes in it's me, right?
17
Yeah, obviously obviously well Corden Corden I've known for like 11 years.
18
So it's more that's more like yeah, I gotcha.
19
Yeah it's like catching up with an old friend i get
20
it no literally literally we i don't think he actually asked me anything i think we just thought
21
that seems like that's typically the best interview
22
which is what i hope to get here today um let's talk about the music uh
23
you're back it's been quite a few what years i would say since was it 2017 yeah
24
so uh in terms of like solo records i mean
25
i put out uh i do i class it as a project
26
so i put i did put together a collaboration project kind of in like the time
27
I was living in Nashville I was just spending
28
so much time with musicians I loved
29
and I'd always been like like I would love to do a song with Bruno Mars
30
but I never collaborate on my own records I just make solo records um
31
so I just put together a project so
32
that was like 2019 I put that out but the last solo record I put out was 2017
33
Divide yeah yeah it's been a minute
34
and Bad Habits yeah let's talk about it let's talk about
35
the theme let's talk about why this was the right song to write at this time why the comeback
36
you know you're i don't want to call it a comeback
37
but like your i would call it a re -emergence
38
if you will dipping a toe back yeah why was this the right song
39
and why was this the right time to come back uh
40
so for me the song the song is about um uh
41
there's you can start bad habits are basically like a domino
42
you start the night with one beer it leads to another then it leads to the vodka coke
43
and then it leads to the tequila and then the salad
44
that you were going to eat turns into the McDonald's at 4am
45
and then you get back home and maybe light up the smoke
46
or like you know it just leads there's it's just a domino effect
47
and I've cut out a lot of bad habits in my life
48
and removed some dominoes
49
and I felt like it needed to be a single
50
now my first single was always going to come out in June and the single I had chosen was a bit,
51
if I'm honest, a bit depressing.
52
And I'd written Bad Habits.
53
And when Boris announced that England was opening up in June,
54
I was like, right, we've got to switch the singles and we've got to put out the one that's actually,
55
you know, because clubs are going to reopen in June, hopefully.
56
So we'll see what happens.
57
And I mean, what I find interesting is the song is called Bad Habits.
58
You say you've now dropped some of those bad habits.
59
Obviously, So you pick up some good habits along the way.
60
You look fantastic.
61
How much weight have you lost?
62
Like 50 pounds.
63
And how have you done it?
64
Diet, working out?
65
I cut excess out of my life.
66
Excess.
67
So I used to binge eat, binge drink, drink, binge.
68
Like, binge work.
69
I just binged everything.
70
Everything.
71
And I've just cut everything by half.
72
Okay.
73
And so you know how many people are going to be upset to hear that you're still eating the same things.
74
You're just eating a little less of them.
75
Yeah, but I feel like portion control is like a key.
76
Like I feel, I've done the, I got super skinny back in like 2014 by doing the like no carbs
77
and I was only drinking like straight spirits and blah blah blah, but if you do it that way it's temporary,
78
you kind of get slim really quickly because you're not having carbohydrates, but eventually you're going to start eating carbs.
79
You have to have a balanced diet.
80
So eventually you get back to it and then I ballooned again because I was just like, okay, calm, calm, calm, calm, calm.
81
And the same with drinking, I'd go like completely sober and then start again and just drink, drink, drink, drink.
82
Whereas just being balanced is, I feel the best way to just be healthy.
83
You need a balanced diet.
84
You need to have fries every now and then.
85
You need to have bread every now and then.
86
You need to drink wine, have beer.
87
You need to keep a balance.
88
Just not, anything in excess is dangerous.
89
Well, I feel like, and I'm a big believer in this, is that when you feel good, you look good, you think good.
90
And I'm imagining maybe for you the same as a musician.
91
getting into a little bit of a better shape and eating right
92
and maybe sleeping a little bit more or a little less, being a new dad, we'll get into that in a second.
93
Do you feel as though this change
94
or this evolution of Ed has now led to better music or better songwriting in your mind?
95
I think no, because I think my music has always been good when I've been upset.
96
So I feel like I've had to have lots of confidence
97
and hating myself to be able to write good tunes but I feel like in terms of getting back out into...
98
Like, I never liked doing music videos or photo shoots because I hate the way I look, but I feel like being in a good...
99
I've had my eyes lasered as well, I can now see properly and like,
100
I feel like being in a good shape makes me less self -conscious of taking like photos.
101
I still hate them but I don't hate them as much.
102
I gotcha.
103
Because you're feeling good, you look good, you think good.
104
Congratulations on fatherhood.
105
Thank you.
106
A lot of artists that I've talked to that have had kids,
107
they've said the surprising thing is that while it did change them as a person, it never changed them as a musician,
108
as an artist, as a singer, a songwriter.
109
I feel like you might be a little different though.
110
I feel like fatherhood may have opened up your eyes and I could be wrong here
111
Correct me if I'm wrong.
112
I feel like it could have opened your eyes to a whole new world musically or sonically
113
Yeah, I think just just subject wise I had a lot of like I had a lot of
114
Changes in my life when the tour the tour ended like end of 2019
115
No, like August 2019 and I remember the last show at Ipswich Finishing it and being like it was heavily publicized.
116
It was the biggest tour of all time we'd sold 9 million tickets
117
and the album had just sold like 22 million copies
118
or something like that
119
which is the most i'd ever sold around i remember stepping off stage on the last show
120
and just being like oh well i guess that's i guess that's the peak then
121
and everything is downhill from here
122
so i kind of had to uh find who i was after
123
that and become okay with never like not having to be the biggest
124
and the best and feeling like okay i've done that
125
and let's just find a different way of writing music
126
and doing music and this was all pre knowing that Lyra was coming and then you know
127
Cherry told me she was pregnant, pandemic happened, I had a friend, really good friend pass away and like experienced grief for the first time
128
and then turned 30 and then all these things were happening
129
and Lyra was born and I feel like coming to terms with being an adult
130
and I know I've had my 20s
131
and I thought I was an adult at 21
132
but like for instance I'd never experienced real grief
133
which is i feel like when you do
134
that whatever age you become an adult even if you're 10
135
if you've experienced that you become a completely different person
136
and understand life in a different way i think
137
and i mean the time you took off nobody knew the pandemic was going to happen
138
so it's almost like you got a little bit of an elongated time off
139
that you weren't planning on becoming a father
140
and going through all these different stages of emotion was there
141
ever a point where you were like you know what i've i've done the music thing
142
i'm successful i've had number ones i've done touring
143
i've gone all over over the globe maybe
144
i just want to stay off a little bit longer was there ever a debate
145
that maybe yeah i was i was literally gonna quit full time
146
i was really gonna yeah i was i had i had had lyra
147
and i was like that's it i'm done i'm a dad i love this
148
and then i found myself getting super depressed because i had nothing
149
that i did i was dad full time and i was doing everything
150
and changing diapers and making and cooking for Cherry and like cleaning everything.
151
And I got sort of like six months into that.
152
I didn't write a song for six, but I didn't do anything.
153
I was like, this is me now, this is who I am.
154
And I feel like as a human, as a man, you need your thing.
155
I lost my thing and I went back and in my mind,
156
I was like, do I want Lyra to grow up with essentially an unemployed dad and look at me and be like,
157
oh, this is what life is.
158
Life is hanging around the house and being here
159
or do I want her to grow up and look at me
160
and me having a work ethic and being like my dad works hard
161
and my dad loves what he does
162
and that's what I want to do as an adult
163
so I kind of got out of the permanent retirement stage from like feeling completely lost as a human
164
and then also feeling like I want to set a good example for my daughter
165
so I feel like I've come full circle with it
166
and now I'm proud to be getting back to work
167
and working hard
168
and Cherry's being like an absolute saying like i can't
169
i can't explain how amazing women are like how amazing mothers are and how
170
she's you know she's moved her work to being on um uh remote
171
so she can travel with me and she's she's working today she's brought lyra here
172
so i don't have to be like a week away from lyra
173
and we're very like i say we're like hands -on parents
174
but i wouldn't i wouldn't say being hands -on makes
175
you a parent i think you just have to be a parent
176
and just be around this is your first father's day this year right yeah
177
that looked like it just hit you like you just looked off
178
and smiled you're like oh my god i saw my manager had i
179
so my schedule now is like work work work work work
180
and i had one day off
181
and i was like oh that's cool they're giving me a day off
182
and it's because it's father's day he's like yeah i've given you your first father's day off
183
which is really sweet yeah i feel like you know i'm not a dad
184
but i feel like
185
when i become a dad those little moments are going to
186
be the most rewarding just looking at a day on the calendar like father's day
187
and be like wait i get to celebrate that day for me
188
that day that's pretty cool i think it's for me yeah i think I think it's,
189
I've always had a wonderful day with my dad on Father's Day,
190
we usually just go to the pub and I just can't wait to have those moments.
191
It's truly amazing being a dad, truly.
192
But going back to the mother thing and the women, I mean having a little girl,
193
it's just, I've spent my 20s being quite sort of blind to my friends.
194
problems because I've been traveling the world and working and stuff like that.
195
And I've had one of my best friends from school who's a girl had a baby maybe like three years ago.
196
And I kind of was just like, I knew her, she'd be fine.
197
She'd be great.
198
And since going through it, I kind of like really bonded with her now
199
and sort of check up on her a lot and knowing what we went through as parents.
200
And I've kind of messaged her just being like, I'm so sorry
201
that all I did was like send a teddy bear rather
202
than like send like i don't know like some something else some bubble bath
203
or whatever or like a lasagna or like you know like now knowing
204
but yeah yeah so now when our mates have kids we make like a proper package
205
because i feel like everyone sends presents for the kids
206
and never them up right you always make sure we you live
207
and you learn you get older
208
and you learn these things i was listening to the radio the other day
209
and it was actually the day
210
that i found out i was going to be doing in person
211
because like i said off camera before i thought this was going to be a zoom
212
so it was a pleasant surprise to know
213
i was going to be in person i'm happy to be doing in -person interviews.
214
Which by the way changed my thinking of how I was going to be asking questions
215
and I almost felt like it was divine intervention
216
because the A -Team came on the radio
217
and I found myself listening to it in a completely different way
218
and I don't know if it was just
219
because I had you on my mind
220
and I was trying to think of some some some different you know types of questions to ask you
221
and then it struck me like do you hear your music on the radio
222
and are you still able to be brought back to the place you were when writing that song
223
or is that kind of numb to you now when you hear your songs?
224
Do you get the emotion you're looking to get out of your band?
225
I don't get to hear on the radio the old songs.
226
And I haven't actually listened to Plus in its entirety probably since it came out, but it's the 10th anniversary this year.
227
We're going to do a 10th anniversary show and just play the album in full and then that's it.
228
I always love those shows where you go to and they go, we're playing the album and then they don't play any hits.
229
They just go, it's the album, back to front, that's it.
230
And I love the idea of doing that.
231
But I feel like listening back to songs, I mean, when I wrote
232
The A -Team, I was living in a student bed sit in Guildford.
233
And I had just done a gig at a homeless shelter for Christmas.
234
Gone and just played like covers of Bob Marley and Oasis and blah, blah, blah.
235
I met this girl called Angel.
236
And I just, you know, I was 18 years old.
237
I'd never really seen proper poverty
238
and like it being what could sort of like brought into a world
239
that sort of opened up the entire world to me I'd only just moved to London and
240
Just realizing that life was not a sleepy Framlingham farm town, you know life was so much so it was yeah
241
So writing that song then I probably wrote
242
that song like half an hour and then having
243
that as like my flagship song at gigs for like years
244
and years and years and then suddenly it taking off getting a record deal being signed being able to come to America,
245
come and play shows for you guys and stuff like that.
246
If I were to hear that song now, I would not necessarily be taken back to the time I wrote it,
247
but more about the experiences that came from it, because that opened up every single door in the world to me.
248
And also, it's not a fall to the floor dance tune.
249
It's like a really depressing acoustic.
250
So I remember coming over to America,
251
and it had been a huge hit in England, Australia, Europe and everything and I don't know if Andrew remembers this,
252
but there was one guy at the record label that put a drum beat over it because he was like,
253
it's not going to work on US radio without a drum beat.
254
And I remember tuning into a radio and hearing it and going fucking ballistic and being like, what is this?
255
But being able to have a hit without drums.
256
Back then as well, when everything was David Guetta and Black White Peas and blah, blah, blah.
257
So I feel like that set a precedent for all the songs that I could make after that,
258
that it didn't have to be a certain way.
259
What have you missed the most?
260
Human interaction.
261
I think like everyone.
262
I've missed going to have a beer with my friends in the pub.
263
I've missed introducing Lyra to people.
264
I think there's been so much...
265
It's been a year of changes, but I'm so happy that the world is getting back to normal.
266
Touring would be the second place to that, I'm assuming?
267
No, because I've toured to death.
268
I've toured to death.
269
I miss being on stage.
270
I miss being on stage, but actual touring, like when it happens, I'll be super grateful to be on tour.
271
But right now, like I'd just be happy
272
if you suddenly pulled up a stage now and I got a guitar on place, five people.
273
That's the same buzz as going on stage to 80 ,000 people.
274
You're still performing.
275
Right.
276
But touring is touring is fun.
277
It's going to be way more fun this time
278
because I'll get to take my family and we'll travel and I'll actually do things.
279
I won't just.
280
I never even thought about that part of it.
281
Yeah.
282
How cool.
283
Well, because last time, so on the Multiply tour, I got really like lonely because I was on my,
284
I play on stage on my own and all of my touring crew are like 50 and married with kids.
285
So like they're not coming out until four o 'clock in the morning.
286
So, so I just like, I just ended up going out and partying on my own a lot
287
and ending in ending up in quite like fucked up situations.
288
So on the Divide tour, I took four homes, home mates.
289
And one was a chef so I put him in the kitchen.
290
One was like a photographer, one was a videographer.
291
So they all came on tour and we kind of had, we lived our 20s big time.
292
And yeah, and I feel like now that's done.
293
Well thank God you lived it because that would kind of suck
294
if you didn't get to live that moment in your life and then now you're dad, you can't do those moments anymore.
295
I didn't really get to live because all my mates went to college.
296
I just went straight into gigging.
297
So actually getting, knowing what your limits of alcohol are with your friends.
298
You know, you can actually like push limits with friends because if it's only four of you getting pissed in a house,
299
it doesn't really matter if you throw up.
300
Whereas if you're on your own in a bar.
301
Mate, I remember being at a bar in Philadelphia on the Taylor Tour.
302
These are the best stories.
303
The bar stories are always the best stories.
304
I'd gone out on my own and I was playing pool with a local.
305
I know, I know.
306
Sorry, I know they're waving.
307
That was for me.
308
That wasn't for you.
309
Let me tell you.
310
So I'm playing pool with a local and this
311
Irish rugby team are in there
312
And they're like, Ed, we want to do shots with you.
313
And I was like, fuck yeah.
314
And then like one of them came up, took his phone out, gave me a Jager bomb, filmed me doing a Jager bomb.
315
And he's like, cool.
316
And then the next one came up, took his phone out, gave me a Jager bomb.
317
And like 12 of them wanted an individual video of them doing a Jager bomb with me.
318
And I was just like, for me, saying no to a drink from an Irishman would be like a sin.
319
So I'm just kind of, I'm kind of doing it.
320
I just remember walking out, tripping and just falling into a bush.
321
And I was like, I should probably like get some friends.
322
Well, that's the best place to end the interview.
323
And Ed Sheeran, ladies and gents, he's back.
324
So happy you're back, man.
325
Thank you so much for everything.
326
Best of luck moving forward.
327
And hopefully see you at the Paramount sometime soon.
328
We'll set that up.
329
Maybe.
330
Nice one.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
