Calm Quote by Grace Dent
“Sheeran is rarely political. Or preachy. He doesn't present a jet-set, Instagram-perfect, 'No Carbs Till Marbs' view of life. His songs are mainly about love: finding it, being surprised by it, losing it, mourning it. I like his tendency to see relationships as a sort of wonderful temporary mental illness, shadowing everything, ruining all calm.”
