My chosen track is 'Sunburn' from the album '+'
The song was written by Ed Sheeran himself, and is believed to have been inspired by his long-term ex girlfriend, and how he tried to move on.
The persona (or Ed) is being honest with the current 'rebound' partner that she reminds him of his ex-girlfriend-Alice.
You're probably wondering 'why is it called Sunburn?' -The metaphor "Like a sunburn" is repeated twice towards the end of the song. The 'rebound girlfriend' has left him after realising he is still in love with his ex-girlfriend, Alice. The metaphor describes the temporary emotional scar that it has left him with. A sun burn leaves a temporary scar but fades fairly quickly; he was not in love with the rebound girl so the emotional scar of her leaving doesn't last long, because he is yearning for Alice.
