They also talk of love and of loss. \u003cstrong\u003eEd's\u003c\/strong\u003e talent is evidenced on songs like \"\u003cem\u003eSmall Bump\u003c\/em\u003e\" - a true story with a heart-wrenching twist about a friend and her baby, whereas \"\u003cem\u003eDrunk\u003c\/em\u003e\" \"I wanna be drunk when I wake up, on the right side of the wrong bed\" tackles an altogether different subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eWake Me Up\u003c\/em\u003e\" is tender \"then you lie with me, til I fall asleep and flutter eyelash on my cheek, between the sheets\" and was written when heavily intoxicated. The autobiographical, show-stopper \"\u003cem\u003eYou Need Me, I Don't Need You\u003c\/em\u003e\" includes \"I've done around about a thousand shows, but I haven't got a house plus I live on a couch, so you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAged 16, \u003cstrong\u003eEd\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived in London from Suffolk with one thing on his mind: playing gigs, as many as he could and as often as he could. Selling CDs out of his rucksack he supported himself and gathered fans one at a time. Over 5 self-made, and self-released EPs \u003cstrong\u003eEd\u003c\/strong\u003e demonstrated his talent and breadth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWritten and recorded between shows over several years, largely in a home-studio just outside London with collaborator Jake Gosling is the next exciting stage in \u003cstrong\u003eEd's\u003c\/strong\u003e do-it-yourself career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"Orange LP","offer_id":50513302520139,"sku":"343136","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4f0c4544_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727925332","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/plus-5","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
