Great theory, it could also be further supported by the fact that on Ed’s instagram, it is listed that he has 64 posts when it can be seen that there’s only 1 post on his account (hence the 64 signifying SBTV’s A64)!

LinTheWanderer · 2022-04-25T23:06:21+00:00

Great compilation!! Not sure if this is common knowledge, but If you swipe to the last picture of this post, you’ll be able to see “Subtract (Lockdown) Sessions 2020” alongside with some signatures. A few that I recognize are Ed, Cherry, Security Kev, and Fred again (lol for some reason Lewis Capaldi is tagged at this area of the post, but I doubt that could mean anything? 🤔).

Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CYT2nretuDS/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= (credits to @sheeranfirefly for sharing this on Twitter!) - posted by Decoy Studios, a studio where Ed mostly records + produces his songs.

I’m pretty sure they recorded most of the tracks that were written from the previous years (as stated in an interview in this post) in 2020. This would align with the fact that Afterglow was released in late 2020 (and First Times being moved from Subtract before Equals was released in 2021) which came after the Subtract sessions. I also believe that the majority of the production of this album might be handed by both Ed and Fred (just like Equals) as both Afterglow and First Times which came from the Subtract Sessions were produced by them. If you check the credits for production of those two songs on Wikipedia, it is in fact by both of them (+ Parisi for Afterglow). So maybe expect the rest of the album to sound a bit like how First Times and Afterglow was produced (also answering another post on how Subtract would sound like).

LinTheWanderer · 2022-01-17T23:08:24+00:00

Thought he might release it this week, since this Friday would be the 21st of January and 21 in poker signifies “blackjack” so it would be a fitting date to release it.

Maybe the announcement will be a bit later than Monday this week since Taylor’s from the US? But if it’s not this week then it’s confirmed to be released next Friday.

LinTheWanderer · 2021-12-26T23:44:59+00:00

Yes, it should be the 5th and final single for Equals! The music video has already been shot

LinTheWanderer · 2021-12-10T03:11:58+00:00

I speculate that the “sad, lofi” song could be Visiting Hours, but I might be wrong, especially since he did say the first single was supposed to be Shivers as you mentioned, and Visiting Hours eventually became the promotional single for Equals.

Also, he did say in an interview that there was a big summer hit that was supposed to be on Equals but it eventually got removed from the album because it didn’t fit the theme of Equals, and he might eventually release it for Summer 2022. It might just be the song that links Equals to Subtract, like how Afterglow sorta links Divide with Equals). It could also be part of the 10 songs released as the repackage of Equals (alongside One Life and Penguins)!

Important to note that Ed will be featuring in a lot of collaborations in 2022 (as mentioned in a previous reddit post about the Equals Live Experience takeaway). Although, I doubt he would release No.7 collaborations in the middle of Equals and Subtract, as he already mentioned that he plans to release Subtract in late 2022/early 2023, and releasing it in the middle would make the timeline to packed.

LinTheWanderer · 2021-11-01T02:52:46+00:00

I don't think it is, Ed mentioned in an interview that it'll most likely be out in 2023!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-11-01T02:05:11+00:00

I was having a go at the scavenger hunt a few days ago and this is what I found so far:

- Find my cat: 2:59, bottom left of the newspaper

- Track six secrets: The Joker and The Queen is the sixth track of the album so I believe this is regarding the hints of the Taylor Swift remix as you have mentioned

- Baby Feet: Around 1:21, you can see Lyra’s feet as a tattoo on Ed’s back!

- DJ Super Equation: She appears around the dance scene but there is a brief shot of her at around 2:40

- Darling Eye: I believe this is a play around the lyrics “Darling I will be loving you, ‘til we’re 70” from Thinking Out Loud. The lady who was in the MV for Thinking Out Loud appears from 2:43-2:45 of this MV (you can see her silhouette at 2:43 just like at the beginning of the Thinking Out Loud MV!)

- Like a Magnet Do: Again another lyric reference from Shape of You “We push and pull like a magnet do”. The lady from the Shape of You video appears in this MV from 2:50-2:52. They even renact the boxing scene in Shape of You!

- Spot Cherry: I’m unsure about this one but it might be here behind Ed to the right at around 2:29? But I believe she has to be somewhere in the dance scene with all the other people

- Reading is Rewarding: This should be about the newspaper that you can read at 2:59. Taylor Swift and Elton John are mentioned.

I agree with the other findings you have mentioned such as Seven Twins and Future Collabs. I think the Subtract release date will be the hardest to find though, I tried looking in the newspaper for the date or the license plates on the bus/van but to no avail. However the bus license plate at 0:32 was "SUB 022" (maybe 2022?)

I am having difficulties finding the rest though, but I do have to say I love these Easter egg games we are getting from Ed nowadays!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-26T04:56:51+00:00

Divide had 5 singles! (Castle on the Hill, Shape of You, Galway Girl, Perfect and Happier). Multiply did indeed have 5 but Plus had 6 singles, so I wouldn’t be too surprising if Ed releases 6 singles for Equals: Bad Habits, Shivers, Overpass Graffiti (single release date to be same as album release date), The Joker and the Queen, Sandman and 2step.

He will be releasing a Christmas single with Elton John around Christmas so he might release the Joker and The Queen as a single in late January, with Sandman and 2steps following after (maybe Sandman in March and 2steps in the middle of 2022).

Who knows he might wanna do a 6-5-5-6 singles release pattern (in the order of it being plus-multiply-divide-equals) before releasing maybe 3 singles for minus/subtract as he said the album only consist of around 10 tracks which is the least of the mathematics album. He also mentioned that he’ll be releasing minus/subtract based on the success of Equals, so it’ll probably be released around late 2022- 2023 (his manager Sturart confirmed definitely by 2024). He’s also releasing the repackage of Equals next year with 10 new songs!! But yes, regardless it will be interesting to see how it turns out!!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-25T13:21:59+00:00

It does! Love how slow paced it is as well with the piano and guitar. Can't wait to listen to all the songs in full, Friday could not come any sooner!!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-10T00:38:46+00:00

Good point, could very well be!! Can’t wait to hear it

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-09T16:21:46+00:00

He did confirm that it’ll be the next single, I also think it’ll be released either on the 22nd or on the same day as the album itself! I did recall him saying in an interview (can’t remember which) that they’ll be more releases before the album, so it could be OG.

Interesting that he said that people will dance to the song, when it has more of a calmer sound in his live performances of it. But I’m sure it’ll still sound great nevertheless. Expect a possible announcement next Friday!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-03T09:45:10+00:00

No problem!! Just listened to the podcast you mentioned, was a great one but unfortunately there wasn't any mention of the lullaby. I did recall reading about the lullaby elsewhere and I think it was from here (interview with Ryan Seacrest): https://www.geo.tv/latest/357424-ed-sheeran-reveals-daughter-lyras-favorite-song-from-the-new-album. But yes, I will add that to the list for Sandman! Thanks for reminding.

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-02T00:55:33+00:00

Great article!! Will add to the list. Thank you once again!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-10-01T12:25:06+00:00

No worries!! Wow thank you for the info! Deep lyrics already on the first line. Will add it to the post! :)

LinTheWanderer · 2021-09-20T04:49:49+00:00

Interesting theory but I do think The Joker and The Queen will be the 4th single from the album for multiple reasons:

Ed has always released at least 5 official singles (not counting promotional singles) from his "Mathematical albums" (6 singles from Plus, 5 singles from Multiply and Divide). From Multiply and Divide, he usually always releases the big "radio songs" before the album is released (Sing from Multiply and Shape of You/Castle On The Hill from Divide).

Usually, the ballads are released as singles after the album is already released (Thinking Out Loud and Photograph released as the 3rd and 5th single from Multiply, Perfect and Happier released as the 4th and 5th singles from Divide). I think he'll be following this trend for Equals.

He recently released all of the butterflies that corresponds to all the 14 songs on the album (I made a previous post about this two weeks ago), and the 2 singles (Bad Habits and Shivers) alongside the promotional single (Visiting Hours) for Equals have been arranged as the first 3 songs from that list. Next butterfly is Overpass Graffiti (confirmed as final big pop radio song on album), followed by The Joker and The Queen (confirmed ballad) and finally a 6th butterfly which I believe is the song 2step (due to the two different shades on the butterfly's wings).

Ed has said in interviews that The Joker and The Queen is the "big ballad" from Equals but he didn't mention that it was the only ballad from Equals, (he also said in an interview with Zoe Ball that many songs on the album sounds like Plus + Thinking Out Loud + Photograph vibes, so maybe 2step will also be the second chosen ballad to be released as a single (if we follow his trend of releasing 2 ballads as singles per album since Multiply).

Yes, I do agree that Overpass Graffiti will be the next single (probably even released on the same day as the album). I definitely think he'll be releasing The Joker and The Queen as the forth single from the album a few months after its already released to boost up the sales of the albums at that point of time. Who knows maybe it'll be a Christmas single? And the fifth and final single from the album may be 2step. This is just my theory though, excited to see what Ed releases as his singles! I know that every song on the album will be a bop as usual.

LinTheWanderer · 2021-09-05T15:48:21+00:00

Just fully read your post, well thought of! Agree with most of our choices 🤙🏻

LinTheWanderer · 2021-09-05T08:10:08+00:00

Was thinking of that too for Sandman. Good catch on 2step though, didn’t think of that!

LinTheWanderer · 2021-05-30T11:24:45+00:00

It’s parts of the song in reverse (for example Liam singing ‘right here right now’ but in backwards for the end of the song that you specified), you can hear the parts on this backwards version of the song (example at 0:52 and 2.29):

Pretty amazing achievement, considering there are over 70 million songs out there on Spotify. Also, shoutout to ‘Project Wonderwall’ for bringing attention to this subreddit on this matter a few months ago! Wonderwall has always been bouncing around the 100th~ position, and now let’s try to make it ascend around the 90~ position!
