Ed Sheeran quit? Nope, turns out it actually happened: he retired towards the end of I mean, not officially, but in his head, which during that whole period was the only place any of us could ever go anyway. Well, there and the Houseparty app. I also find that you need to just be in a constant flow of writing songs, so, just like training a muscle, I am always pretty much writing. One day, however, he just stopped.

Joy, of course, but obviously parts of it were really difficult too. This is it. I quit. Thankfully, Sheeran found a way to dig himself out of his existential wobble, absorbing the shock, terror and joy of having a child while also segueing into seeing his music creation, and life, with fresh, fatherly eyes.

I told him that I needed something, as after about four months I had lost all purpose. Is it being there per cent of the time and not going to London for a day, like today to talk to GQ , see collaborators, friends and master the album? Or is it having a daughter that knows her mum and dad have a great work ethic and really love their jobs? I saw myself as technically being unemployed during that period of noncreation and, to be honest, I was fucking miserable.

I wanted Cherry to see me happy and thriving. And he is, the Ed before us today is thriving once more. Although, even for someone so seemingly self-assured, the moment his new project seeps out into the world, song by song, stream by stream, is still somewhat anxiety-inducing. This part is hard, always has been.

Other than the two security guards at the ground-floor desk, the office is totally deserted; this is the first time, in fact, Howard has been into the building in more than a year. We take the lift up to the top floor. Sheeran loves a condiment, you see. Over the course of my interview, Sheeran spoke openly about the album, its themes and touchpoints. While listening to it, however, far more than any of his previous releases, one feels these songs are grounded in the autobiographical. Each moment is marked: fatherhood, life, death, the commitment to a lasting relationship.

If the last album was built to take over the world through universal appeal and hooks, this, to me, is more like a memoir set to music. He has dug deep. Also, more than in any of his other albums, you can hear this is a man who is ready to acknowledge change in his life — and, thus, perhaps his music.

And none of these songs fitted in with what - would be, eventually. Just like the symbols that make up the individual records, eventually this series of five albums will distil into one, mammoth, continent-hopping conceptual live experience for his fans, a tour that is greater than the sum of their individual parts. I would love to do the ever-decreasing tour. But there is a high benchmark now. I get it.

Every year there is a new artist who is more exciting, that everyone thinks is better, that has the hot new song out, and it has happened every single year of my career. Oh, yeah?
