I’d love to meet one of my idols named Ed Sheeran221. He’s a famous singer and songwriter in the UK.

I discovered him about five years ago. One of his songs called “Photograph” was very popular at the time. The song is all about understanding and exploring love. He focuses a lot on his love for his family. It’s really emotional222. When I listen to it, I think of my loved ones. I really loved the song’s beautiful melody and touching lyrics223.

After hearing “Photograph”, I focused more on Ed Sheeran and his songs. What is most interesting about Ed is that he isn’t really known for anything but his songs. In fact, he’s not handsome. He looks a little chubby224 and has ginger hair. If you don’t know him, you might think he’s just an ordinary guy. You probably wouldn’t think of him as a musician.

Despite his regular looks, his works are really outstanding. He’s really creative and has written lots of beautiful songs. I’m a big fan of his because of his talents. I really hope I can meet him in person one day. I would ask him to take a selfie with me225. Then I would brag226 about that for the rest of my life. I also want to ask him questions, like where he gets inspiration227 for his songs. I’m curious about his motivation for writing songs.
