Creativity in Motion

Before watching the unusual documentary Songwriter, I knew very little about Ed Sheeran. Now I am an avid fan! Maybe it’s because one of my granddaughters is a singer/songwriter too -- and yet I’ve never had the pleasure of being present during one of her songwriting sessions. However, seeing the home videos of Sheeran and his musical collaborators as they create his third studio album “Divide,” I have some inkling of what’s involved in this particular creative process.

Creativity. Who has that?

To Ed Sheeran I tip my hat.

“Songwriter” shows the song process

that’s led to his immense success.

Happiness while doing his thing

is clear even when bells don’t ring.

Sounds, rhythms and melodies

are tried by Ed for fans to please.

This documentary reveals

the depth of care Ed really feels

about his album and each song.

And that’s why he did not go wrong.
