“So I have two godparents, a man a woman, and they have been friends with my dad since they were all around 4. They kinda’ went to school together and they have been best friends since then. They got married to two separate people around 10 years ago and over the past 20 years each marriage has broken up for whatever reason. They’ve both spent the last 20 years quite lonely, though still friends and kinda’ struggling together… Anyway, my mother had a party the other day and everyone got a little fucked up on alcohol, as you do. Both of my godparents live in South London, so after they got really drunk at my mother’s party they took the train back to South London together. My godfather, drunk, got down on one knee and said “would you marry me?” and my godmother, drunk, said yes; so they were like ‘Why not? Let’s get married!’. My godmother said to me “Ed, can you play a love song in our wedding?” and I was like “Yeah, what kind of love songs do you want?” she said “Oh, one of your own”. If any of you are familiar with my music you’ll know that my love songs are about watching Shrek and killing chickens and some weird shit like video games and ice cream. So when I played them to her she said “Yeah, no… I don’t think this is going to make it to our wedding”. So I went off to think about it and I wrote a song. It’s called “Kiss Me”. They got married in May and I played it for them.”
