What would it feel like if Paul McCartney’s best moments, from his teenage days with The Beatles to his final years, were all saved for us to hear? Ed Sheeran asked that very question as he revealed his plan for a posthumous album called Eject. He explained that every great song he ever wrote but never released will be carefully chosen by his wife Cherry and put out after his death.
There is something deeply moving about an artist thinking this far ahead. Ed compared it to getting a time capsule from Paul McCartney’s entire career, from a 16-year-old with a guitar to the icon we know today. He said some people may not like the idea, but he believes many fans would find it “super interesting.” It is not about fame but about making sure the music lives on, even when he no longer can.

Fans reacted with respect and sadness. One person wrote that it was “heartbreaking but brilliant” to plan something like this. Another called it “the most Ed Sheeran thing ever,” praising him for thinking about his fans even after he is gone. A different fan said they would “listen to it every year” like a way of remembering him.
Hearing Ed talk about Paul McCartney as a symbol of a life’s work makes you want to revisit McCartney’s own songs. That is where “Maybe I’m Amazed” comes in, a song that shows why McCartney’s music still feels timeless. It is not just a love song, it is a reminder that even legends write about the most human emotions.
