I first discovered Ed a little after I discovered Imagine Dragons in High School. Probably around my junior year. Yeah it was now that I think of it. His album + (plus) came out in 2011 and I bought it almost a year after it was released just because I liked the song "Give Me Love."
After listening to the album just once, I was hooked. That album became my crack cocaine. I listened to it every single night while I drifted to sleep. I knew every lyric by heart after a couple nights. I was addicted. And even though I was in love with his mind and lyrics, I never took the time to look up a picture of his face.
Eventually I did, however, and I wasn't surprised. He turned out to be oddly handsome, but he doesn't look like he can sing, though he obviously can. His second album X (multiply) came out in June of 2014 and I bought it as soon as it came out. I didn't need new songs, I was perfectly happy with his last album, but I wanted them. I wanted to hear what his beautiful mind had come up with this time around. It didn't disappoint. I was so happy when I had finished listening to every song. It was just as good if not better than his first album.
I'm not quite sure how to explain why I've fell in love with his music. It just fits my personality so well. His lyrics are sometimes sarcastic, but always deep, and you can tell that he's been hurt by a few women, and that he's hurt a few and he's sad about that. His lyrics always tell a story and have a deeper meaning that I love to figure out. I haven't done much research on him because I don't want to be that crazy fan-girl, though I did cry very hard when I saw him in concert, I just couldn't believe that it was finally happening. I was finally seeing the person that I've been listening to for the past two years.
I don't creepily fantasize about some secret love affair with him though. Which is good because I think that's what most fan-girls do.
