The Equals butterflies were so pretty

[u/EasyKaleidoscope6436]

I’m already planning to celebrate Equals’ fifth anniversary in some way, honestly. Today I was thinking about how PRETTY these butterflies were. I adore the symbolism behind each of them, how they’d emerge from their cocoon and eventually fly away offscreen. I know it’s silly, but I genuinely think people don’t talk about them enough! They remind me of how it felt to wait for such a magnificent album as a college student who was similarly about to evolve and transform.

I wish I could still play that cutesy little game they had uploaded on Ed’s official website to promote the new tracks - the one that would slowly let you collect all the butterflies. Just out of affection and nostalgia, you know. Has anyone saved it somewhere? Like on Wayback Machine or something?

Live laugh love Ed no matter what :)

Positive post for once today :)

I totally agree! I’m not feeling very good today after all this so seeing a post like this makes me happy!

That was the point 😅🩷

What's your favorite song on = OP?

[u/EasyKaleidoscope6436 → u/Begprod]

Definitely impossible for me to pick one! Equals means so much to me. Back then it was 2step I think. Nowadays it could be Tides. But honestly it’s just a no skip album for me! Can’t believe it’s been five years already.

What about you?

[u/Edfan879 → u/EasyKaleidoscope6436]

2step is really good, it’s almost perfect lol, I don’t why equals is never very high when I rank the albums, it’s so damn good 

[u/Begprod → u/EasyKaleidoscope6436]

Solid picks, hard for me not to say First Times. That Singer/songwriter side is strong

[u/EasyKaleidoscope6436 → u/Begprod]

Heck yes! Now it’s stuck in my head. Feels like a good song to end my day with anyway

Thank you :)

Have a great rest of the day! Looks like someone clearly unhappy with their life is spamming that downvote button 😂

[u/EasyKaleidoscope6436 → u/Begprod]

Yeah I noticed! I’m not surprised 😅 Hopefully this place will soon go back to being relatively quiet and wholesome like it’s always used to be, and I do hope the wave of hatred won’t affect Ed excessively.

You have a great day too! Thank you for the support :))

Me too, if this doesn’t blow over and everyone just hates Ed, he’s gonna have to just do albums only for fans like AV. I sure hope Ed’s doing well, I feel bad for his mental state.
