Ed Seeran's Concert Part 2 of 2

Okay so I left off with my friend Kaitlin and I just getting down to the scene of the concert where we were going to be standing directly in front of the stage! People did get there before us so we were about five rows of people back from the stage. We took pictures of how close we were and put them on Facebook and Instagram with the captions "Look how fucking close we are!" Kaitlin and I had never even dreamed of being this close to our favorite singer/songwriter Ed Sheeran. The opening act Rudimental started at 7:30. They were an instrument-oriented band with many singers that took turns singing lead. They had this one singer who was so beautiful. She was skinny and had super red lipstick. Her hair was cut like Miley Cyrus' but unlike Miley, this girl did not hump anything on stage. I was immediately jealous of her because she got to tour with Ed Sheeran and he was probably very attracted to her. Oh well. She sang one song that I had heard every day when I worked at Aeropostale. It was on the CD that corporate sent the store to play. I've posted the lyric video.
After the opening act got done we only had to wait about ten minutes until Ed would be on. We didn't scream too loud when he appeared on stage. I was just in awe. I hadn't seen many pictures of him and to be honest, his appearance does not match his voice. But that night he had a rough ginger beard so he was looking pretty hot. His first song was "I'm a Mess." At about the middle of the song I was crying. My dreams had come true. I was finally listening to Ed Sheeran live. I was in the same exact room as him! Only about 30 feet away. The crowd around us was pretty mellow, so I looked out of place. I was singing every word to every song and dancing to the beat of Ed's guitar. My favorite song that he sang that night was "Runaway." That song is about him running away from home when he was sixteen because his dad was a drunk. It's a very powerful song and it's relate-able to many kids these days who grow up in broken homes.

That night was honestly the best night of my life so far. I got to just let go and let the music carry me away. I plan to see Ed more often. My dream is to move to the UK to live a minimalist life so hopefully if I get to live out that dream, I get to see Ed many times. The last song he sang was "Sing." It's a very popular song on the radio. Before the song he told us to never stop singing the tune: "Woah a-oh oh Woah oh oh oh Woah oh oh uh-oh." (That was super hard to try to type out so forgive me if I missed an "oh".) But this really got to me because he was telling us that no matter what happens to us in life we need to just keep singing because that really all you can do.
