first of all can we just discuss the beauty

that is the set today i think it's a hotel

i think we're in a hotel

i don't know where we are i feel like i've been transported to some magical land

this is by far the nicest setup i have ever had for an interview i think it's just

because it's your first in person in a while you mentioned

that of course yeah uh the last time i was in the city was february of 2020

so about what 15 months now and

that was the last time i did an artist interview in person I'm

so happy that I don't have to do this on zoom.

Well, I think my last in -person US interview for radio was probably 2017

and really and I haven't been in New York since 2018

So am I like the first in that many years?

Yeah, well, I did I've just been in LA

So I did Corden and so you but yeah other than that then yeah, who's better?

I mean so far it's only a couple minutes in it's me, right?

Yeah, obviously obviously well Corden Corden I've known for like 11 years.

So it's more that's more like yeah, I gotcha.

Yeah it's like catching up with an old friend i get

it no literally literally we i don't think he actually asked me anything i think we just thought

that seems like that's typically the best interview

which is what i hope to get here today um let's talk about the music uh

you're back it's been quite a few what years i would say since was it 2017 yeah

so uh in terms of like solo records i mean

i put out uh i do i class it as a project

so i put i did put together a collaboration project kind of in like the time

I was living in Nashville I was just spending

so much time with musicians I loved

and I'd always been like like I would love to do a song with Bruno Mars

but I never collaborate on my own records I just make solo records um

so I just put together a project so

that was like 2019 I put that out but the last solo record I put out was 2017

Divide yeah yeah it's been a minute

and Bad Habits yeah let's talk about it let's talk about

the theme let's talk about why this was the right song to write at this time why the comeback

you know you're i don't want to call it a comeback

but like your i would call it a re -emergence

if you will dipping a toe back yeah why was this the right song

and why was this the right time to come back uh

so for me the song the song is about um uh

there's you can start bad habits are basically like a domino

you start the night with one beer it leads to another then it leads to the vodka coke

and then it leads to the tequila and then the salad

that you were going to eat turns into the McDonald's at 4am

and then you get back home and maybe light up the smoke

or like you know it just leads there's it's just a domino effect

and I've cut out a lot of bad habits in my life

and removed some dominoes

and I felt like it needed to be a single

now my first single was always going to come out in June and the single I had chosen was a bit,

if I'm honest, a bit depressing.

And I'd written Bad Habits.

And when Boris announced that England was opening up in June,

I was like, right, we've got to switch the singles and we've got to put out the one that's actually,

you know, because clubs are going to reopen in June, hopefully.

So we'll see what happens.

And I mean, what I find interesting is the song is called Bad Habits.

You say you've now dropped some of those bad habits.

Obviously, So you pick up some good habits along the way.

You look fantastic.

How much weight have you lost?

Like 50 pounds.

And how have you done it?

Diet, working out?

I cut excess out of my life.

Excess.

So I used to binge eat, binge drink, drink, binge.

Like, binge work.

I just binged everything.

Everything.

And I've just cut everything by half.

Okay.

And so you know how many people are going to be upset to hear that you're still eating the same things.

You're just eating a little less of them.

Yeah, but I feel like portion control is like a key.

Like I feel, I've done the, I got super skinny back in like 2014 by doing the like no carbs

and I was only drinking like straight spirits and blah blah blah, but if you do it that way it's temporary,

you kind of get slim really quickly because you're not having carbohydrates, but eventually you're going to start eating carbs.

You have to have a balanced diet.

So eventually you get back to it and then I ballooned again because I was just like, okay, calm, calm, calm, calm, calm.

And the same with drinking, I'd go like completely sober and then start again and just drink, drink, drink, drink.

Whereas just being balanced is, I feel the best way to just be healthy.

You need a balanced diet.

You need to have fries every now and then.

You need to have bread every now and then.

You need to drink wine, have beer.

You need to keep a balance.

Just not, anything in excess is dangerous.

Well, I feel like, and I'm a big believer in this, is that when you feel good, you look good, you think good.

And I'm imagining maybe for you the same as a musician.

getting into a little bit of a better shape and eating right

and maybe sleeping a little bit more or a little less, being a new dad, we'll get into that in a second.

Do you feel as though this change

or this evolution of Ed has now led to better music or better songwriting in your mind?

I think no, because I think my music has always been good when I've been upset.

So I feel like I've had to have lots of confidence

and hating myself to be able to write good tunes but I feel like in terms of getting back out into...

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...

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.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
