After the heat of the summer, everything either calmed, settled, fell apart, came to a head, or imploded,โ€ says @teddysphotos #EdSheeran.โ € โ € โ€œWhen I went through a difficult time at the start of last year, writing songs helped me understand my feelings and come to terms with what was going on, and when I learned about my friendโ€™s different situations, I wrote songs, some from their perspectives, some from mine, to capture how they and I viewed the world at that time. There were highs of falling in love and new friendships among lows of heartbreak, depression, loneliness, and confusion.โ€โ € โ € โ€œMy dad and brother told me about a composer called Elgar, who composed โ€˜Enigma Variations,โ€™ where each of the 14 compositions were about a different one of his friends. This is what inspired me to make this album. When I recorded Subtract with #AaronDessner, we clicked immediately. We wrote and recorded non-stop, and this album was born out of that partnership. I feel he has captured the feeling of autumn so wonderfully in his sonics, and I hope everyone loves it as much as I do.โ€โ € โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #recordstores #houstonvinyl #cactusmusic #cimsmusic #houstonvinylstore #houstonrecordstore #nowspinning #vinylrecord #vinyligclub #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinyladdict #recordcollection #vinylcollector #shoplocalhouston #AutumnVariationsRSC
