Ed to release a Christmas song, O Holy Night Options

Actually on further thought, it definitely wasn't a fulfilled request, considering it has 2 producers credited to it I would say there is no way he saw a youtube comment and organised all that in a couple of days. That'd be like saying someone saying "Ed come to *insert city here*" and then a couple of days later a gig get announced there, he wasn't fulfilling a request for that, just the way it happened.

I can't speak for anyone else, I'm not judging it on pre-perception, I mean based on previous offerings I could have guessed it'd be bad, but the song itself solidified that for me. I don't like it because of the music, its definitely not a gold digging attempt like he usually does or anything like that, it was a christmas gift to fans, nothing sinister behind it (for once), never said there was. But that doesn't make it good

I'm still of the opinion that if Ed puts something good out, I'll admit it and I'll like it. There are plenty who don't like Zion, but I've always maintained I actually quite like it, and others have admitting they like the sound or vibe or Eat Your Love (lyrics aside). I would say that for all the piles of shit that "the usual suspects" give Ed, we have still been more complimentary at times for things he's done than certain other usual suspects have been of things that don't involve Ed.
This is the fundamental difference between "us and them", I would LOVE Ed to impress me again, for all the shit I give him and as much as he deserves it, he has made some incredible music over the years and I would absolutely love to hear him make more of it, and if he did I would admit it, and the proof of that is the fact I go on record saying I really like Zion. I'm not afraid to admit that. The other side for example, really don't want any good music to be made, so...

also, lol at youtube comments being disabled under all of Ed's videos, now theres a man who doesn't want to hear what people have to say. Hand in hand with deleting anything remotely questioning or negative on facebook. Ed's obviously been reading less of Krishnamurti and more of chairman Mao recently!
