We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken And time's forever frozen still
For me, Spotify is not even a necessary evil. It helps me do what I want to do.
Be yourself. Embrace your quirks.
I used to get drunk in venues after my shows and sign the walls "Ed was here." So if you see that, it was me.
I've been feeling everything. From hate to love. From love to lust. From lust to truth. I guess that's how I know you.
I really don't know what's good or bad art because all the art I like people tell me is tasteless.

Growing up, I was inspired by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Damian Rice was a huge influence for me musically.
Everyone still thinks I'm Scottish - that's totally wicked.
Everyone knows almost everything about me. I make it very clear that I'm cool with people knowing all my personal life through my songs.
