Hehe, that's awesome! Omg I'm realizing now that I've had so much to say about Divide that I've not shared on here yet. But so, without further adieu, here's my #DivideDay story:

So I had also preordered the special album set, like, the second it was available. I anxiously awaited March 3rd, keeping up on all the Ed news leading up to it. I wasn't on Tumblr or any social media yet, but thankfully there were things like the Ed Sheeran EU Twitter I could check for updates all the time. So we'd stay up late into the night to hear the release of SOY and COTH and Ed's first live radio interview back, etc. I'd been going through being in and out of the hospital as usual so we were trying to really focus on all this stuff to get me pumped and excited etc, planning to go all out on the 3rd when it arrived. I tracked the package as it made its way towards me, noticing it stopped for a little bit in Illinois in the Chicago area so I was texting(annoying) my friends like "it's right by you right now!!!!!" 😂

Then, March 3rd came, and we waited....and looked at the tracking and....okay long story short? The shipping company screwed up. My Divide album wasn't going to/didn't make it to me on the 3rd! Not just that but it ran into a weekend where I didn't actually get the album for another five days. I can't even tell you the frustration....but hey, it became a whole thing, a story. When in finally did come, I was back in the hospital so my husband went and got it gift wrapped all pretty and brought it to me there.

In the mean time, of course, on March 3rd the second we could we bought the whole album on streaming so that we could play and replay the whole thing over and over just like pretty much everyone else did, hehe. My husband listened to it while he was driving around doing errands and things and came back with his own reviews/remarks on it that I thought were pretty good; like how the album really makes you feel like you're being taken on a trip around the world with Ed, taking in all these different cultures and feelings... like, Barcelona just blasting with the sun out and everything made you feel, well, exactly how the song describes. Then you're in Africa bopping to Bibia Be Ye Ye and you just can't NOT get the biggest smile on your face and move to the beat while tapping your hands on the steering wheel; Galway Girl and Nancy Mulligan make you want to get up and dance a jig while ordering an authentic cold Irish stout; Dive gives you that almost jazz, laid-back but sexy feeling of, well I can't think of the best way to put any of this into words but yeah...Perfect sounded like this epic sweeping classic romance, illiciting feelings of a big ballroom and formal dancing, almost going back in time. COTH gave out so many nostalgic feels while SOY felt like dancing barefoot and close in the sand at a nighttime party in the Caribbean. What Do I Know? feels like an anthem for our generation, the new "Where Is The Love?" but with such a simple and fun/friendly vibe, it joins people together with its own beat...Happier felt like the climatic moment in a romantic movie where there is a sad tragedy leaving you wondering how things will turn out and feeling that feeling....Save Myself is so deep and reflective while striking that perfect balance of sad but hopeful...

Okay I'm rambling now, hopefully this all makes sense. I'll probably come back and edit this later when I'm not so exhausted, I just wanted to get something out finally as its been a year now!

So, there you have it. Congrats Ed, Happy Anniversary Divide! 💙

Tell me your #DivideDay stories!

Happy Anniversary, Divide! 💙
