For all the Ed Sheeran fans out there – the time has FINALLY come!!! We have all patiently been awaiting his new tunes since his last album release in June 2014. I think it is safe to say that “Divide” was WELL worth the wait!
Here is the track list (Deluxe Version) and a bit of info about each song in case you need some convincing to take a listen:
1. Eraser

What is an Ed album without his raps? Great and catchy way to start the album off. Definitely can’t wait until I can conquer these verses without messing up!
2. Castle on The Hill

His second single off the album sure makes us all think of our own great memories growing up with our friends. Makes me excited for summer car rides. Also, I feel like I need to call my friends who I haven’t seen in awhile every time I hear this.
3. Dive

OKAY, MY FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM!!!!!!!!! A bit slower but DEFINITELY so catchy. The hooks just make me want to sing. Another plus – probably relatable to every person in the world at some point in their life.
4. Shape of You
(https://images.genius.com/b987a0d3e07d6f10d3c434bfb69a651f.1000x1000x1.jpg)
I think we all know this one. So fun…makes me just want to bust out some moves!
5. Perfect

Well Ed you have done it again. How do you make THE best love songs? How does he know exactly what us ladies want to hear?? Probably going to be the next big wedding song. So sweet!!!
6. Galway Girl
(https://images.genius.com/4fc73a0227aa393c077f47ba15b160b7.720x720x1.jpg)
SUCH a fun song! Includes his rapping again (OMG) and another dance-in-your-seat chorus!
7. Happier

An emotional ballad. This one’s a real heartbreaker. Honestly, makes me feel so upset for a situation I am not even in – but that’s what the best emotional songs do, am I right?!?
8. New Man
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EwzD8U4u76k/maxresdefault.jpg)
HE DON’T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR NEW MAN!!!! So don’t even tell him. Seriously! I love Ed he stays keeping it REAL.
9. Hearts Don’t Break Around Here
(http://images.genius.com/f4824666e9232e94a2a56e29af904820.720x720x1.jpg)
Another nice love song. Thank you Ed for being you.
10. What Do I Know?

An upbeat song about how music can have such a positively affect on the world. AGREED! Ed has definitely made a positive impact with his music. And anyway, he is right – let’s stop worrying about the size of our jeans!
11. How Would You Feel (Paean)
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZZMZiBCRX4c/maxresdefault.jpg)
ANOTHER love song!! This boy has a way with words! “How would you feel if I told you Ioved you?” Honestly, we would feel pretty great, thank you so much.
12. Supermarket Flowers
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bIB8EWqCPrQ/maxresdefault.jpg)
A REAL TEARJERKER!!!!!! This song was written about Ed’s late grandmother who he says was very ill during the time of making this record. A beautiful song and tribute. She is proud Ed!
13. Barcelona
(https://i1.imgiz.com/rshots/9754/ed-sheeran-barcelona_9754206-41350_1920x1080.jpg)
This song makes me want to DANCE!!! Preferably in sunny Barcelona. Until then, up on the hill will have to do!
14. Bibia Be Ye Ye
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eQlveAt9e88/maxresdefault.jpg)
Yes I had to Google what Bibia Be Ye Ye means, and YES I agree with its meaning “Everything Will Be Alright!” I read he was inspired on a trip that he made to Ghana. A nice, feel-good song!
15. Nancy Mulligan
(https://images.genius.com/5a3c75b082bea41339f683d1f1c2cdf1.720x720x1.jpg)
This song has an older, almost folksy type sound to it. A song based off of his grandparents’ love story! Love it!!!!!
16. Save Myself
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/qXM0JdAwabU/maxresdefault.jpg)
Ed wraps up the album with another ballad about having to love himself before he loves someone else. Great message Ed, we all need to learn to love ourselves!
Hope everyone who hasn’t heard the album yet is now convinced to listen! To everyone who loves it, you’re not alone! ☺
