Why would he leave here?
I mean he gets so much attention and all.

I won't say that this is objectively terrible because I suppose that someone might like this. But as for me - I personally think this is just awful. Beyond terrible. I mean, like, at the very rock bottom of my list of musical preferences. I don't even know how to describe why, because it is not that I dislike pop music or even gospel or Christian music. I like Maroon 5 and Cee Lo and some Katie Perry and stuff. I can listen to that. But what Ed is doing, just makes me react negatively. I would even think less of someone who told me they do like it. Hearing that, and seeing his hands waving over his head and pointing to the sky at the scripted moments in the song made me want to puke. And it reminded me of what he did with Live over the last few years he was in the band, with The Distance, Lightning Crashes, Wings, They Stood Up For Love, Sofia and other songs where he hit all of hius stage performance "marks" at the same exact points in each performance. There is no "there" there. And the lyrics that I could understand on that recording are laughable and seem like a inexperienced song-writer trying to write Sunday school hymns. I don't even know what more to say. This is just my opinion. I am not trying to start a fight or be rude to Ed or his fans. This is just me saying that I absolutely hate this. That guy used to be one of my heroes! How did we get here?!?!?!

I know exactly what you mean. I watched this and The Distance from the NC thread earlier and each time I caught myself saying "what the fuck am I doing watching this?" It's as if my body rejected it and made me quickly stop the video. I must have had the most disgusted look on my face. If anyone had seen me they would have wondered what the hell I was watching.

I actually like the song and the lyrics. It is a very uplifting tune, and you can tell that Ed believes in what he is singing. I''m looking forward to hearing the song at Mohegan.

Just how much did Ed pay you to say that?
