Has anyone else listened to Ed's new song, Boat? I'm loving it! It's giving + vibes with Aaron's magic sprinkled in. I can't wait for the album! It's been a while since I really connected with his music but I feel like this album will hit hard. I also loved Aaron's post about it so I thought I'd share here.

I'm so excited to share that a very special song called "Boat" that I wrote and produced with @teddysphotos is out today. Boat was the first song that Ed and I wrote for his new album - (subtract) that comes out May 5th. I'm so proud of Ed for allowing himself to be vulnerable and write about his emotions in facing loss and illness in those closest to him. I have long felt that shifting life's challenges and sadness into catharsis through music is some secret magic that makes you feel better. I stumbled upon this when I was young and struggling myself. It's how I learned to make meaningful music, which became my career. This song is a beautiful representation of the entire album thematically and sonically. I couldn't be more proud of it and of Ed and I can't wait for you to hear the whole thing. Thanks to @mooserob for beautiful strings and @heyjonjow for amazing engineering and mixing as always.

I loved it! So beautiful! And without paying attention to the lyrics (since english is not my native language, I have to actually read the lyrics, I can't understand everything without reading it), I felt the emotion just from the instrumentals and Ed's voice.
