Ed Sheeran has defended his decision to write brutally honest songs about his relationship with his wife Cherry Seaborn.
The 34-year-old singer, who headlined the first night of Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball with Barclaycard at The O2 last weekend, said he wanted to share both the good and bad parts of his life.
At a Spotify pop-up for the ball, the Perfect hitmaker said: “Sometimes people listen to records these days and assume that song is 100 percent their world at that moment.”
“It’s very much like heightened emotions. You never write a song on a ‘meh’ day. You always write songs like, ‘This is the most loving I’ve ever felt, this is the happiest I’ve ever felt, this is the angriest I’ve ever felt,'” Ed continued, according The sun.
The Grammy winner added, “They all look like big limbs and that’s what inspires the song. And that’s where the song exists and that’s why people connect to the song because people have these big feelings.”
“I think the only times the songs will ever be made, for me at least, are in moments of great extremes,” Ed justified.
For those unfamiliar, Ed exchanged vows with Cherry in 2019, and the couple share two daughters: Lyra and Jupiter.
