“Everything You Are" song review
Ginger-haired Ed Sheeran just can’t make bad records. “Everything You Are" is great. Not a single flaw I can find in the guitar-driven mid-tempo ballad. It's very Ed Sheeran narrative style, guitar-driven, and it has a chorus that will leave you speechless at how amazing Ed’s song-writing is. The talent he has for bringing his life experiences into well-written songs is just to die for.
In “Everything You Are", Ed sings about attempting to return with an ex he hurt ("I didn't mean to break your heart / I was just lonely / And everybody falls apart sometimes"). Although, he smashes his face to the wall when he realizes the girl already has a new man on his life. Although Sheeran promises to stop trying to get his ex back he can’t let go of the feeling that she is the one. You can really connect with Ed's pain and struggle in the song.
