Nancy Mulligan (a nurse) was his grandmother and William Sheeran (a soldier) was his grandfather. This whole song is a true story 🥺 My absolute favorite song ny Ed 💚
Ed’s cousin who was filming his documentary while he wrote the divide album stopped filming and wrote this with Ed. They share those grandparents. One other thing that’s sweet is the line “I was 24 years old when I met the woman I would call my own” because Ed started dating his now wife when he was 24
That crowd was missing out, fr. They probably expected him to play a hit, but I think he did such a good job of paying homage not only to his family, but his culture too. I'm not usually a big fan of his, but this song is so heartfelt, I can't help myself! And it's such a knee slapper, I can't help but want to dance to it 💙
To answer your question yes, William Sheeran was a protestant from Belfast and Nancy Mulligan was a Catholic girl from Dublin. They met when William had an injury and qas recovering at a military hospital in London in 1944
