What is the other voice singing in the chorus of seven? Effect from the microphone? If so it's a shame. In seven he uses the same chord progression he uses in alot of songs. (ex: drink, heaven, and others). Sadly, and I mean it, cause I want this guy to find his balls again, but these songs are generic and boring. Will give a try to Angel... when it will be available.

I think the other voice is that bass player who is with Ed and visible at end of video.

There are only so many chord progressions alexou I'm sure if u play like I do you will appreciate this. I think it's the dolphin s cry intro that Ed has recycled here not drink which like everytime I see your face and others.

Having said that I stop short of callin the song seven generic - it is a unique rhythm in the bridge for Ed definitely and the melody & vibe is unlike most pop music. Which I imagine is the genre Ed is aiming at...in any case I enjoyed the song. Not fussed on the whistling and for Ed I think all I wanted sounded similar to some others more so then seven.

Drink is not related to Everytime I see your face in any way...IMHO.

I agree that sometimes Ed goes outside of usual pop, but like you said only for bridges. I find the verses and most of the choruses of his songs bland and generic. (Ex: Garden). I'm the proof was a nice effort going a bit out of the box. Liked it.

I also think that it is difficult for Ed to be original because he is not a very good musician. He probably doesn't know that much about music theory so he is stuck with minor chords progressions for the most part. Some musicians are doing their whole career with it and that's fine, but with all the songs he write most of it has references with what he did in the past.

Yeah, he isn't very good at all...he's only been doing it for ohhh, only 25 years or so.
This is the most ignorant statement iv'e seen in a while. WOW
