Ed sheeran at Wembley

Hey,

Yeah yeah, I know this is a week, late... Well life has been busy, like always. Anyway last week I went to see the amazing Ed Sheeran at Wembley on the Friday night. He didn't disappoint... One man ruled that stage, he took over Wembley. 

Ed had two amazing warm up acts, Foy Vance (who I don't know very well, but really enjoyed) and One Republic who I was excited to see as I love their music. They seem to be loving their time on the stage, and were getting the crowed crazy. 

Look at all the people!! 

After grabbing a few beer we were in our seats waiting for the main man to arrive. 

I quite far away so not the best photo, but boy did he own that stage.... Wembley was all for him. 

From song straight on to song, mixing up some of the album, telling the crowd tales, he knew how to perform. 

Wanna read it Wednesday - Book review: The Dream Thieves

Hiya,

I'm following this post on from a previous book review of The Raven Boys, which i recently blogged about. This is the second book in the series that I said you would want to read after finishing the first.

Blue didn't mean to fall for the Raven Boys, 

but she has - and the more her life entwines 

with theirs, the more dangerous it becomes.
Ronan is the most dangerous of all.
He's the haunted one, the darkest,
the most Raven.

His dreams invade reality and 
confuse what is true.

With magic growing stronger around 
them, now is a time to be wary.
Before everything unravels...
Friendships will be tested.
Someone will get hurt.
And a kiss will be shared. 

It was great picking up where the book left off before, back with Blue and her Raven Boys. We get to learn more of their pasts, how each feels, mainly the troubles that affects Ronan, the darkest of them all. His dreams come to life, let me tell you they aren't fluffy or sweet. The horrors of his dreams will hurt not just himself, but those around him. His hardness gets weaker as we start to understand Ronan, showing his part to the group, what makes him one of Blue's Raven Boys. 

I just loved this book, getting back to these characters like old friends, unraveling more of each of them which makes them... them. Oh and a kiss that could kill... the magic just continues. 

I've read one more... Which I will also share with you soon.

Love Lolly

Ed Sheeran today!!

HAAAAAAAA,

The day is here!! Woop, yep I've been up early as I'm so excited!! Been waiting for months and finally the day is here, we are off to London to see Ed Sheeran perform at Wembley the first night of his three shows there.

Here's today's song, and It had to be as I'll be singing all night long.

Sing

It's late in the evening
Glass on the side
I've been sat with you
For most of the night
Ignoring everybody here
We wish they would disappear
So maybe we could get down now

I don't wanna know
If you're getting ahead of the program
I want you to be mine, lady
To hold your body close
Take another step into the no-man's land
For the longest time lady

I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

If you love me
Come on, get involved
Feel it rushing through you
From your head to toe

Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh
Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooh-Oh

Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [2x]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

This love is a blaze
I saw flames from the side of the stage
And the fire brigade comes in a couple of days
Until then we got nothing to say and nothing to know
But something to drink and maybe something to smoke
Let it go until our roads are changed
Singing we found love in a local rave
No, I don't really know what I'm supposed to say
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray
I told her my name and said, "It's nice to meet ya."
Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila.
I already know she's a keeper
Just from this one small act of kindness,
I'm in deep shit if anybody finds out
I'm meant to drive home but I've drunk all of it now, not
Sobering up we just sit on the couch
One thing led to another
Now she's kissing my mouth

I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

If you love me
Come on, get involved
Feel it rushing through you
From your head to toe

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x2]
Louder!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Sing!
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Can you feel it? All the guys in here don't even wanna dance
Can you feel it? All that I can hear is music from the back
Can you feel it? Found you hiding here so won't you take my hand darling
Before the beat kicks in again
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?

Sing!
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh [x6])
I need you darling
Come on set the tone
If you feel you're falling
Won't you let me know
Louder!
Sing!
If you love me come on get involved
Feel it rushing through you from your head to toe
Louder!
Sing!

I remember listening to Zane Low on radio 1 for the first play of this song as I so wanted more music from Ed and I just fell in love with it straight away, wanting it played again and again. Then the next day when it came on the radio singing it as loud as i could. 

i also got my mum in to Ed' music, she does love listening to him and calls him "Eddy" every time his music comes on. 

So today I'm going to spend some time in London with my friend having a girly day before we hit up Wembley to see the main man... Ed we are coming for you!!! 

See you soon. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Love Lolly

Tomorrow, Ed Sheeran At Wembly

AHHHHHHHHH......

Hello,

It's tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow! I get to go to Wembley stand with many other fans and hear Ed sing to us (I'm just a little excited you could say)

Lego House

I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house
If things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind
It's all for you

And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love
I'll pick you up when you're getting down
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now
I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind
I'll do it all for you in time
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now


I always loved lego as a kid, building up tall towers to making cars. I would design what i wanted my house to look like with lego flowers outside. I still dream of a house that is all mine, but for now I'll have to save my money till i can get my little dream house. 
Thought id share a photo of my little cousins with his lego house that we built together. 

Oh and Ed dressed up a lego man! hehe.

only two days to go, nearly there Ed

Morning,

I'm awake early today, it's 6am as i write this. Maybe i should be getting ready for work, or doing some bits round the house. Instead I'm cuddled up in my bed with my lap top writing this for you to read. I fell asleep listening to music, one track is always Ed's as its calm, i just dream of his voice as i close my eyes.

Thinking out loud

'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and memory
I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe it's all part of a plan
Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes
Hoping that you'll understand

That, baby, now
Take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars
Place your head on my beating heart
Thinking out loud
Maybe we found love right where we are

I just love this song and the video is beautiful, i want someone to dance with me to this song. just like in the video (don't worry we don't have to be as good as them.. wow).

Only two more days to go till i get to see Ed at Wembley, I'm trying to stay calm but I'm sooooooo excited!! It gonna be a day in London, followed by a night of Ed!! Eeeekkkk. 

Will see you Friday Ed, the date is set.

Love Lolly

xoxo

3 DAYS!!

Oh yeah,

Nearly there... OMG!! Ed Sheeran I'm coming to see you, I've been waiting ages, but finally it only 3 days away.

Kiss Me

Oh no
My heart's against your chest, your lips pressed to my neck
I'm falling for your eyes, but they don't know me yet
And with this feeling I'll forget, I'm in love now

Kiss me like you wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
You wanna be loved
This feels like falling in love
Falling in love
We're falling in love

Totally true about how people feel when they fall in love, or want to be loved.



See you soon Ed,

Love Lolly

4 days left till Ed at Wembley

Good morning,

Oh yeah it's Monday... Most people don't want the weekend to end but for me it means there is only 4 days left till I get to see Ed Sheeran at Wembley!!!! Ahhhhh, I've got to get through the days till I see him perform. 

If you remember Ed played Glastonbury last year, I didn't get to see him live but I did watch it on tv with my nan, who enjoyed his singing too... I was tweeting while he was playing, and they ended up getting a mention on the tv after his set by Greg James!! Haha, was so funny at the time. Here the tweets:

It was fun finding these tweets last week on time hop, love remembering the past. 

Back to today's song,

U.N.I

Because if I was gonna go somewhere, I'd be there by now
And maybe I can let myself down
And I'm thinking I'm unaware, I keep my feet on the ground
And keep looking around to make sure I'm not the only one to feel low

Because if you want, I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered
From all that I've done wrong
And I know you'll say that I'm the only one
But I know God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will

'Cause you and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied
You and I ended over U N I
And I said that's fine but you're the only one that knows I lied

We've all been through a break up, where on the outside we say we have moved on and are happy without the other. Only on the inside does the truth live....

See you soon Ed,

Love Lolly

xoxo

Only 5 days to go till Ed Sheeran

Morning,

Let the count down continue.... Only 5 days to go,

I See Fire

 If this is to end in fire
Then we should all burn together
Watch the flames climb high into the night

Calling out father oh
Stand by and we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side

And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Calling out father oh
Prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on
The mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky

Now I see fire
Inside the mountain
I see fire
Burning the trees
And I see fire
Hollowing souls
I see fire
Blood in the breeze
And I hope that you remember me

I just find this song calming, its the last song on the Album X but ends it perfectly. 

Not long now Ed!!

Love Lolly

Only 6 days to go till Ed Sheeran

Hello,

I've working like crazy this week as I've started a new job, thats why this post is a bit late in the day. I'm still singing Ed's song while I'm working hard, and I've got another one of his songs to share with you.

The City

This city never sleeps
I hear the people walk by when it’s late
Sirens bleed through my windowsill
I can’t close my eyes
Don’t control what I’m into
And this tower is alive
The lights that blind keep me awake
Hood up and lace untied
The sleep fills my mind
Can't control what I’m into

London calls me a stranger, a traveller
This is now my home, my home

I’m burning on the back street
Stuck here sitting in the backseat
I’m blazing on the street
What I do isn’t up to you
If the city never sleeps
Then that makes two

Now I love, adore, London, i just enjoy wondering the city getting lost in life there. I've never lived there, but would love to for a short while, just to explore more. The city just holds so much, and this song reminds me of it every time i hear it. 

Under a week to go till I see Ed at Wembley... Ekkkk.

See you soon,

Love Lolly

xoxo

7 days to go till Ed Sheeran

Morning,

I can't believe in a weeks time I'll be on my way to London to see Ed Sheeran at Wembley!! Ekkkk I'm so excited, its going to be amazing. I'm gonna be on voice rest this leading up to the show so i can sing at my best... JOKE! however i can wait to sing with the crowed.

This is one of my favorite songs off of the album X. I just can feel and understand the lyrics in this song.
I'M A MESS

Oh I'm a mess right now
Inside out
Searching for a sweet surrender
But this is not the end
I can't work it out
How going through the motions
Going through us
And oh I've known it for the longest time
And all of my hopes
All of my own words
Are all over written on the signs
But you're on my road
Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes
It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love
Easy baby maybe I'm a liar
But for tonight I wanna' fall in love
Put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time
Late last night
Drinking to suppress devotion
With fingers intertwined
I can't shake this feeling now
We're going through the motions
Hoping you'd stop




See you soon Ed!!

Love Lolly
xoxo

Only 8 days till Ed

Morning,

Drunk

I wanna be drunk when I wake up
On the right side of the wrong bed
And never an excuse I made up
Tell you the truth I hate
What didn't kill me,
It never made me stronger at all
Love will scar your make up
Lips sticks to me, so now I maybe lean back there
I'm sat here wishing I was sober
I know I'll never hold you like I used to

But a house gets cold when you cut the heating
Without you to hold I'll be freezing
Can't rely on my heart to beat in
'Cause you take parts of it every evening
Take words out of my mouth just from breathing
Replace with phrases like 'when you leaving me? '

Should I? Should I?
Maybe I'll get drunk again
I'll be drunk again, I'll be drunk again
To feel a little love

Taken from the album +



Just another day closer to getting to Wembley.

Love Lolly

Wanna read it Wednesdays - Book review: The Raven Boys

Sorry, this show of posted yesterday, my fault... but here it is for you to enjoy today, as its a must!


Helloooo,

I found another book I wanted to share with you all. I got hold of this a little over a year ago, one day when i was in a book shop. I read the blurb and just wanted to know more... I must admit it was one i didn't want to put down. The Raven Boys, written by Maggie Stiefvater.

Even if Blue hadn't been told

her true love would die if she 

kissed him, she would stay away 

from boys. Especially the ones from 

the local private school. Known as 

Raven Boys, they only mean trouble.

But this is the year that everything 

will change for Blue.

This is the year that she will be drawn 

into the strange and sinister world of 

the Raven Boys. And the year Blue 

will discover that magic does exist.

This is the year she will fall in love. 

A gripping story of a young lady who stands out, but doesn't fit in till she finds a group of boys she knows are trouble. From a family of people who are good at predictions she knows to trust them, but Blue (Love this name for a character) can't see predictions like the rest of her family, however she can always enhance the magic of others, making her a strong character. Blue leads herself, plus you the reader into this creative story of magic. 

I just loved this book, how would you feel that if you kissed your true love, he would die... a hard prediction for any teenager! The magic with in the book has you wanting to hunt the hills, to find magic for yourself. 

This book is actually part one of four... I'll share the next books with you soon, as i know once you read this one you will want the next too!!

Love Lolly

xoxo

9 days Till Ed

On wards with the count down,


Runaway

I’ve never seen my dad cry
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
I’ll tell you it’s about time
But I was raised to keep quiet
This is what I’m gonna do
Gonna runaway, gonna make that move
Gonna grab clothes and when it’s morn-in’ go
How long you leaving
Well dad just don’t expect me back this evening
Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this
Its been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

I love him from my skin to my bones
But I don’t wanna live in his home
There’s nothing to say cos he knows
I’ll just runaway and be on my own




Oh the lyric's he used just makes me melt, the word to a song can touch your heart.

Love Lolly
xoxo
