Class A means - highly addicted drugs in rehabs. This song was written by Ed for a 18year old addicted, prostitute girl he met at a homeless shelter. Snowflake- Ed himself says it crack No phone- she gave her phone for drugs. Crumbling like pastries - she is sweet but he can see her braking in pieces ... Worst things in life comes free to us - he is actually being ironic. "Just under the upper hand, going mad for a couple grams" addiction is the upperhand And another fun fact Two years later the girl passed and he wrote "give me love" as a tribute to her *Just found out the girl's name was Angel. She broke all the rules of the shelter, so they said if she behaves she can make the rules. First thing Ed saw on the walls was - Angels Rules. Ed was 18 ...when he experienced this and wrote the first line on his way home from the shelter...
@@Sir_Danks-A-Lot yes the call girl is for prostitute but it's still she gave her phone for drugs:)... And she struggles to come by because now nobody can call her...and that's why drugs is the upperhand
2023 and I'm still in love with this song, I can remember listening to it being young and unfortunately knowing it was about struggling with drugs because of a parents bad choices.. now as a recovering addict it hits even harder 😭
Yall please stay strong! Life is hard but you all deserve to know love like no other, and anyone needing a friend can always reach out to me no questions asked ♥️
When I was little I thought this song was about winter...now that I’ve gotten older it is way deeper than that. Wish I still was a kid, good times back then and nothing to worry about.
When i was little I had no clue what any of it meant, I just sang along when it came on the radio. Years later here I am, in tears, with goosebumps wishing I can go back to before I knew the reality of the world for some people who live this way. It really breaks my heart.
Taeya Jones-Martinez same goes for me, i used to sing along oblivious to the real meaning of this song. couple months back i revisited it and came to realize that a majority of the lyrics fit me and the shit i’ve been putting myself through.
When I was younger it was my favorite song. Now that I know the meaning I wish I could back and never have to face the scary reality that is supposed to seem safe. 😔
I literally re discovered this song last week and i watched the lyric video and i didn't even know it said long nights strange men or sells love to another man, and if i had already known it, i wouldn't have understood it
"Its too cold outside for angels to fly." its talking about how even the holiest of creatures seem unable to help this girl. It shows her thoughts. Her life is so horrible and messed up so why would the angels allow her life to continue to be so horrible unless they aren't able to come save her. (it's too cold)
I interpret it as "Its too cold outside" meaning the world is a cold and awful place and "for angels to fly" meaning that it's impossible for pleasentries or mercy in life. I tried to form my thoughts into words Yes im edgy
I just celebrated 4 years clean and this song reminds me to be grateful. I'm no longer selling love to men.... I'm raising a son to be better than I ever could be.
The song is basically about the consequences of making bad choices in life and the struggles it results in. And he calls her an angel and I think that means that just because your life is full of bad it doesn't mean you yourself are bad.
Its insane how just by hearing this song you remember all the people you miss and your problems suddenly go away and all you wanna do is cry and pray for them to come back to you..
Macie Hopdagen that is such a relatable feeling especially when you are having a hard time and your problems are swarming around you and you can't escape
Macie Hopdagen yea i jet that my dad left and he umm has a drug and pill problem I never really got to know him I see him some times like ever 3 to 6 years and it's hard to know that he ant trying to get better and my mom drinks quite alot but I've learned to live with my step-dad I'm peace I guess but there's still the hope he'll get better and act like a really father but every Thang in me know a that won't happen
lost 3 childhood friends to heroin and crack/cocaine. everytime this song comes on i cry inside a little. one of them was called Olivia and Ed was her favourite artist. she was a genius and so funny. wanted to be a software architect(no idea what that is). made sense of the world in a way that seemed to make her come out on top. then for whatever reason she tried the brown shit. nothing could of stopped her. it hurts so much more differently to see wasted potential and a life wasted and getting a phone call to come to some random flat to help resuscitate a twenty year old whos clearly OD'd. i hate the touch of cold skin now. Rip Olivia, Phil & James. Miss you forever. your safe and free upstairs. save a spot for the gang when we get there!
My daughter passed away from a drug overdose on June 27, 2023. Sadly, this song describes the final years of her life. Finally, my baby girl is at peace now. May you rest in peace my only child, my sweet baby girl. It's too cold outside For angels to fly
When this song came out, I was 10, and my entire family loved it. And when I sang along to it, they told me the meaning of this song, and it made me realize why they loved it so much. It's such a beautifully written song and its amazing how such a clear message is hidden so well. Absolute poetry
I used to have a "best friend." We would always play this song, and it's was ours in a way, I guess? But our friendship ended, from my own doings. I found out, she wasn't the kind of person I wanted in my life anymore, and I did what I could to remove traces of her from my life. I panicked every time I got reminded of her, or when she texted me to 'check up' on me. I was the one who first found this song, and I showed it to her. I wish I didn't.. It's so hard to listen to this song now, and not think of her. I won't want to think about her ever again, and I just hope that one day, I could thoroughly enjoy this song again, for what it is, and not the person who ended up hurting me.. I had to get this off of my chest. It's probably messy, but my brain's a little messy, and life's a little messy, and I'm pretty sure that everyone here has felt messy like me before.
I listened to this in middle school, early middle school, elementary school. I didn't understand what the song was about. But now that I'm almost 18, I understand very much. It's a beautiful song, for sure. And it's one of the saddest.
I first heard this song when I was in 7th grade as my art teacher would turn on the radio for us to listen to while we did our work. It was on the radio quite frequently, and my friends and I laughed whenever we heard the "it's too cold outside" part (as I lived in Phoenix and it's normally very hot outside) as well as the "crumbling like pastries" part (as for some reason that lyric made us want to eat our lunch even before lunchtime, which was several hours after art class). Now I listen to this song as a 19 year old, and it's definitely not the same.
“Go mad for a couple grams” “Sell love to another man” “And in a pipe she flys to the motherland” “Breathing in snowflakes” They all have completely different meanings now that I’m older and understand it
LeilaPotter4eva ! The “go mad for a couple grams” refers to doing whatever you can to get the money to buy drugs (which ruin your life.) “Sell love to another man” means you’re selling your body to a man who you have no bond with. You’re doing it for the money since your in such a low place in life (typically because of drugs). “And in a pipe she flies to the motherland” (I think) means her life ends due to abusing drugs. “Breathing in snow flakes” is basically just doing drugs (cocaine to be specific).
I always thought that the line “the worst things in life come free to us” is beyond inspiring but more so simply beautifully yet deeply painful. Because we all know that feeling.
@@alyssasowell774 not necessarily about a prostitute living on the streets. Its more about the downward spiral of a young drug addict and having to do whatever necessary to get what she needs.
I dont know why.... But i always try to listenin to this in winter... I can just always imagine feeling the cold in a thick coat outside... Laying in the snow...
Hey I love you whomever you are. You may be upset right now I know I am but we love you. Even though you may not feel like you're loved right now but you will soon. Keep in there I believe in you wholeheartedly. You're strong enough to get through it.
Thankyou, same for you, people can be so judgemental over what we wear how we look what we do for fun that they miss who we truly are, and it makes people feel so worthless or like they dont belong, I'm anti social, and people judge me because of it, and it hurts
Listen you have to stop I wanted to start cutting but I didn’t and my wanted to commit suicide until me and my sister came along and before I was gunna I thought of that and it stopes me it proves you can stop yourself if your memories flood back just think about stopping
Snowflakes - cocaine Burnt lungs - she's been smoking Strange men- prostitute having to have sex with random men Go mad for a couple grams - weed Sells love to another man- having to sell herself out Worst things in life come free to us- suffering Hoping for a better life- suicidal We don't wanna go outside- scared Cold outside -dangerous My life has a new meaning 🙏🏻😕
princess Chels I didn't really think anything of this song a few years ago, but now it actually makes sense. I only listen to it once in a while, because it describes my bio mom perfectly. It's like the song is about her... And it's sad, but thank you for the little translations you wrote. Makes it easier to know what the song means.
My brother would listen to this song all the time. I never knew what it was called or even who sang it. He passed two years ago and I just remembered it and found it. ❤️
What I love about music is there is so many different interpretations of it. And while it might not be exactly what the artist was thinking when he wrote it, that’s okay. Because it means something to you differently so you have your own personal connection to the song ❤️
Me at 6: YESSS I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO GOOD Me now: Dang, this is sad. This whole time it was talking about a girl forced to live on the streets and make a living doing drugs and prostitution :( edit: woah there i was kinda shocked when i saw the number of likes, but what brought me back was my mom loves this song and she got diagnosed with cancer today and for some reason i needed to listen to it. but thanks for liking❤️ Edit 2: the responses by “that’s my aesthetic” in the comments is my other account, and thank you guys so so much for wishing all the love towards my mom❤️UA-cam really is a kind and amazing place sometimes. great things are coming for you all! wishing EVERYONE the best, Emma 💕❤️
Man this song hits hard. Free from addiction for almost 3 years, but i had a girlfriend in the madness and i got clean and she passed away.. this song just destroyed me. Anyone reading please reach out for help before it's too late. Your life is the price for this buzz
My fiancé died of an accidental overdose drinking on sleeping medication two years ago to this day. The lyrics wouldn’t connect to our situation because we were absolutely in love with each other. But for some reason, I’d enjoy to force myself to cry, and this tune seems a bit fitting. Sláinte.
@@Sunkissedclo everyone change through time…i swear…i use to be a huge Taylor fan back when she was know as Country pop Princess. Since when i tired and barely ever heard about her anymore. Also Ed, still listen to his musics here and there but didn’t have the same feeling years ago when i first known him by Sings. Miley too…my favourite childhood disney princess with soft songs like butterflies fly away and such thing had long gone. I can’t judge them when they grown older…with higher stand they approach differently view on such things. Still love them but also i’m deeply in the time I remember them. No matter what they become, i’m still the same and knowing they will return to the root once the time come. Just not at the highest top.
My mom told me it was about a nice girl that chose the wrong path (she was very open about that stuff when I was a child) and that the girl died because of that path. And that’s why my mom told me not to go down that path and I was lucky that she got off that path. So I always kinda knew
When i heard this the first time, i was like 7 or 6. I didn't knew what this song was about, i just loved it. And now i finally became to understand what's about. a really deep meaning,.. but it brings back memories, so, yeah, still great af
This song has a special place in my heart. I was born and brought up in a Catholic family in Texas and my boyfriend was born and brought up in a strict Hindu family back in India. He moved to the states for college around four years ago. We met in class and instantly fell for each other. The difference in our races created many obstacles for us. Even our parents stood between us because of the religious differences. But we stuck to it and fought all those battles together and today we are the happiest of couples. He plays this song all day and I had to read the lyrics to understand the meaning of it. I hope we get to live with each other forever. Lots of love to all our Indian bros n sis who are in search for love. Wait patiently, true love will surely find its way to you ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
This song is about her selling her body for money, she wants something but she can't get it so she falls depressed and does drugs. She dreams of what she wants, and little does she know that whoever is singing this song cares for her.
Bella Michelson Abigail Downing actually it's about how the girls uncle is a pimp and people pay him to have sex with her and then she gets took to the police station and won't say anything and then kills her in fear of getting caught listen to the next verse...
I always thought this song was about a cute love story then now I notice its about prositution and drugs EDIT: After 2 years I checked this comment and yeah I mostly thought that cuz I was a little kid at the time
Song is still so amazing! Ed Sheeran is such a talented songwriter! His songs are always full of meaning and such powerful feelings are felt when listening to them... ♡♡
yep, a 13 year old(whose many probably don't have even hit puberty) is grown up enough to understand the deep meaning of these lyrics. This kid will be an elder by 17. I hope parents stop letting their children use internet or even socialize before they're 16 or 17, even more if they had the sad fate of being parents in their late teens or twenties. Don't destroy childhood.
Jeh Cakt it’s hard now trying to stay young and keep your innocence in a world filled with drugs and drinking and mental health problems and suicide and racism and sexism and so much hate for eachother, as a 13 year old I can say I have officially given up faith in humanity
I used to really like this song when I was little now I’m 18 and a recovering addict, in 3 days I’m going to inpatient rehab....who would’ve known then that my life would turn up this way...It just made me feel sad
good luck babe. i got clean 2015 and i've been on methadone 5 years and life is... confusing. i just had myself a big old cry after listening to this song. life is a lot less chaotic now though and i wish that for you. many hugs.
I remember listening to this song for the first time on the radio on a hot summer day, & thinking “ wow I love this song!! “ & as I got older I realized that the lyrics aren’t what they really say. Either way I love this song & it’s beautiful because you or someone you may know might be going through the same thing & “ slowly crumbling to pieces “ so just please I beg you pay close attention to whoever it is & support them 🦋🙏🏼 - jan 8 , 2019 10:18
I remember when I was in rehab, as you got closer to graduating you had to hold a class for your peers. A girl had us all sit in silence and watch the video and listen to the song. A majority of us were in tears at the end. She gave us a speech on her life and how her drug addict parents had let people "use her" as a child for drugs and her progression to becoming a prostitute addicted to heroin and why it felt impossible to get sober facing the circumstances she was in. I think about her and the others there often, hoping they were able to get sober like I did. A lot of those people had stories much sadder than mine. Remember that the next time you see a person lying on the street strung out. Nobody wanted to grow up and be that way.
I'm 35 and I'm a recovered addict from it all and life I had to completely reset and try to reinvent my mindset and my way of life and living been down a very reckless and destructive path until I let the love of God into my heart after my father just recently passed away last year June 11th 2020 been hard not have my pops around we were best friends i know he's up above smiling down or so I hope or like to think 🤔
Ed Sheeran and his songs and the meaning behind them and the soul he gives behind it is really mesmerizing. Really deep song, didn't know what it meant when I was a kid but can completely relate and understand 😊
When I was younger like 6 I hated this song because it made me cry and every time it came on my radio i would run of of my room balling me eyes out😂😂😂😂 And I just realized what it was about I dead thought it was about school then
For me this song always hit close to home. Most of my life I've lived in a drug house. My mother left our family for drugs and the only pictures I really had of her were mugshots on ther internet. She always looked cold and her face sucked in. My father always said he would never do drugs but he had a achohal problem and after that it was drugs. He is not in the right state of mind most of the time and calls the police telling them that someone killed us. Even though we are standing right in front of him. He always had a beer belly and seeing him skinny now is frightening. I cant be near him without crying or wanting to scream at him but it would mean nothing because he doesn't understand. I was taken away two years ago when I was 13. I am turning 16 soon and drugs have taken away a lot of important people in my life, so I just wanted to say if you're struggling with a situation like mines or you're the one doing drugs yourself, stay strong please, you deserve a lot better and will some day achieve that.

This song was written by Ed for a 18year old addicted, prostitute girl he met at a homeless shelter.
Snowflake- Ed himself says it crack
No phone- she gave her phone for drugs.
Crumbling like pastries - she is sweet but he can see her braking in pieces ...
Worst things in life comes free to us - he is actually being ironic. "Just under the upper hand, going mad for a couple grams" addiction is the upperhand

Two years later the girl passed and he wrote "give me love" as a tribute to her
*Just found out the girl's name was Angel. She broke all the rules of the shelter, so they said if she behaves she can make the rules. First thing Ed saw on the walls was - Angels Rules.
Ed was 18 ...when he experienced this and wrote the first line on his way home from the shelter...
Thanku!
Wow that's sad 😭 thank you for the information
I dont think "no phone" has any direct meaning, its used to deliver the "call girl" line which means prostitute.

I'm so sorry. but hope you get better. I hope you find some one new. I would be ok if you somehow private message me and we can talk about it.
@Ava Rushing would you like to message me and we could talk
Rain Dad just remember this is your song. Not theirs! Stay strong
We've all been there
@Ava Rushing same happened to me mate🙂
I listened to this in middle school, early middle school, elementary school. I didn't understand what the song was about. But now that I'm almost 18, I understand very much. It's a beautiful song, for sure. And it's one of the saddest.
haven’t listened to this in years... suddenly this song has a whole other meaning
2000 kids just realising what it means 😂😂

O2, my mom hated it when I would sing this song as a kid😂
Charlotte Rose ok but the music video gave it all away
Exactly!
the world is cold
so the angels can't fly.
I mean its pretty hot in a lot of countries
@@rikkedalsgaard5706 😂😂 best reply ever
Luckily we have global warming👌🙃
Na, its pretty sunny today
I’ll walk then
"it's too cold for angels to fly" that line helps me remind myself that I need to stay alive. I can't end it.
I first heard this song when I was in 7th grade as my art teacher would turn on the radio for us to listen to while we did our work. It was on the radio quite frequently, and my friends and I laughed whenever we heard the "it's too cold outside" part (as I lived in Phoenix and it's normally very hot outside) as well as the "crumbling like pastries" part (as for some reason that lyric made us want to eat our lunch even before lunchtime, which was several hours after art class).
Now I listen to this song as a 19 year old, and it's definitely not the same.
The dislikes are because their eyes got blurry from crying and they missed the like button.
Smoothhhhh
Sadly wisdom only comes to us at the end of our life 💔

I adore this song his voice is awesome and his song is amazing I just love it
Lilly good songs are so good, it's like what I'm thinking put into a song
lol You're thinking about prostitutes who sell sex for drugs??
Ken Brunet I don't think that's what she meant.
_koski06 _ who's gonna tell them
*crumbling like pastries*
Sounds so beautiful in a sad way
the constant switches between accents is amazing
"Call girl, no phone "
That line though 🖤
I found that part really touching as well.
“Go mad for a couple grams”
“Sell love to another man”
“And in a pipe she flys to the motherland”
“Breathing in snowflakes”
They all have completely different meanings now that I’m older and understand it
I dont get it im only 11
@@lilynilouzam133 It's a very sad song :(
Its explaining how sad life is and how much the world is crumbling
LeilaPotter4eva ! The “go mad for a couple grams” refers to doing whatever you can to get the money to buy drugs (which ruin your life.) “Sell love to another man” means you’re selling your body to a man who you have no bond with. You’re doing it for the money since your in such a low place in life (typically because of drugs). “And in a pipe she flies to the motherland” (I think) means her life ends due to abusing drugs. “Breathing in snow flakes” is basically just doing drugs (cocaine to be specific).
@@ashleyc9320 thx that really makes me understand. That's probably the only comment that is straightforward.
I always thought that the line “the worst things in life come free to us” is beyond inspiring but more so simply beautifully yet deeply painful. Because we all know that feeling.
I love this song, it just puts you in a relaxed mood and calms you. Ed's voice just makes it soo much better and much more relaxing!
"call girl, no phone"
"call girl" is another word for "prostitute" and wow once i knew that i saw this song in an entirely different point of view.
R u a blink?
Im and army 😊
This whole song is about a prostitute living off the streets. Holy crap I never knew
@@alyssasowell774 not necessarily about a prostitute living on the streets. Its more about the downward spiral of a young drug addict and having to do whatever necessary to get what she needs.
sakura moon thanks for educating me ❤️
@Harriet Antrobus That's what i thought. Like she's cool, nice, but something isn't going quite right if she hasn't got a phone.
I dont know why.... But i always try to listenin to this in winter...
I can just always imagine feeling the cold in a thick coat outside... Laying in the snow...
If only that's what this song was about
Mood.
ik exactly what you mean, it's a very wintery song :)
I never could’ve anticipated how real this song would become for me in adulthood.

Thankyou, same for you, people can be so judgemental over what we wear how we look what we do for fun that they miss who we truly are, and it makes people feel so worthless or like they dont belong, I'm anti social, and people judge me because of it, and it hurts
Thank you ❤️
I wish this was true
@@immuneblotch147 what you mean true?
As an addict this song speaks to me. one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. His best song ever in my opinion
Listen you have to stop I wanted to start cutting but I didn’t and my wanted to commit suicide until me and my sister came along and before I was gunna I thought of that and it stopes me it proves you can stop yourself if your memories flood back just think about stopping
Snowflakes - cocaine
Burnt lungs - she's been smoking
Strange men- prostitute having to have sex with random men
Go mad for a couple grams - weed
Sells love to another man- having to sell herself out
Worst things in life come free to us- suffering
Hoping for a better life- suicidal
We don't wanna go outside- scared
Cold outside -dangerous
My life has a new meaning 🙏🏻😕
princess Chels I didn't really think anything of this song a few years ago, but now it actually makes sense. I only listen to it once in a while, because it describes my bio mom perfectly. It's like the song is about her... And it's sad, but thank you for the little translations you wrote. Makes it easier to know what the song means.

Geez guys this hurts my soul. I am a parent
You realize the song is about hookers right
i believe this. my mom's an alcoholic and this song reminds me of her so it helps me cope in a way.
I'm just wondering how u doing now? nothing matters anymore? Why?
My brother would listen to this song all the time. I never knew what it was called or even who sang it. He passed two years ago and I just remembered it and found it. ❤️
I’m a metal fan but holy fudge this is such a good song
What I love about music is there is so many different interpretations of it. And while it might not be exactly what the artist was thinking when he wrote it, that’s okay. Because it means something to you differently so you have your own personal connection to the song ❤️
Agreed. The line “it’s too cold outside for angels to fly” means so many different things to me personally.
Me at 6: YESSS I LOVE THIS SONG ITS SO GOOD
Me now: Dang, this is sad. This whole time it was talking about a girl forced to live on the streets and make a living doing drugs and prostitution :(
edit: woah there i was kinda shocked when i saw the number of likes, but what brought me back was my mom loves this song and she got diagnosed with cancer today and for some reason i needed to listen to it. but thanks for liking❤️
Edit 2: the responses by “that’s my aesthetic” in the comments is my other account, and thank you guys so so much for wishing all the love towards my mom❤️UA-cam really is a kind and amazing place sometimes. great things are coming for you all! wishing EVERYONE the best, Emma 💕❤️

@Tommy Hass "struggling to pay rent" "bank notes" "no phone", indicate that she will not have a place to stay soon.. if she doesn't overdose and die
@Tommy Hass he did a homeless concert an made this song off one of the girls life story
were u actually 6 or is that an exaggeration...
man listen to little lady, this is nothing compared to that
Man this song hits hard. Free from addiction for almost 3 years, but i had a girlfriend in the madness and i got clean and she passed away.. this song just destroyed me. Anyone reading please reach out for help before it's too late. Your life is the price for this buzz
it's incredible how a song that sounds this sweet can be this sad 🥺😔
Ed Sheeran you are so talented and amazing! May God bless you and your journey!
OMG U R AWESOME FOR SAYING THT!!!!

My siblings choose drugs over family and I’ve gotten numb to the pain and this song made me grieve in the right way💙
My fiancé died of an accidental overdose drinking on sleeping medication two years ago to this day. The lyrics wouldn’t connect to our situation because we were absolutely in love with each other. But for some reason, I’d enjoy to force myself to cry, and this tune seems a bit fitting. Sláinte.
2019 still listening to this, man I wish Ed sheeran could make more songs like this
Unknown Person I saw him at his divide tour it was one of his last ones (Leeds)
Unknown Person I swearrr hes like rapping now? Wtf I listen to his throwback songs every morning such feel good music and positive vibes I miss it man
Cliche Ok he’s only rapping for a collaboration album, but he’ll be making songs like this again once he gets back from his hiatus
He did tho! Better ones even
@@Sunkissedclo everyone change through time…i swear…i use to be a huge Taylor fan back when she was know as Country pop Princess. Since when i tired and barely ever heard about her anymore. Also Ed, still listen to his musics here and there but didn’t have the same feeling years ago when i first known him by Sings. Miley too…my favourite childhood disney princess with soft songs like butterflies fly away and such thing had long gone. I can’t judge them when they grown older…with higher stand they approach differently view on such things. Still love them but also i’m deeply in the time I remember them. No matter what they become, i’m still the same and knowing they will return to the root once the time come. Just not at the highest top.
The A team
The addicted team
Yellow dolphin she's in the class A team. Class A is a category for illegal drugs in the UK. That is the reference there.
Yellow dolphin YEEE
Class A team refers to Class A drugs such as cocaine, heroine, etc. It's the drug scheduling.
Yellow dolphin i used to think this song was cute know it gone
It means she’s into Class A drugs
Once I realized what it meant I also realized the life some people i know have. Thankyou for making this song Ed it helped me get through so much.
I always thought it was "cool girl, no phone" lol
Same!
same man :(
My mom told me it was about a nice girl that chose the wrong path (she was very open about that stuff when I was a child) and that the girl died because of that path. And that’s why my mom told me not to go down that path and I was lucky that she got off that path. So I always kinda knew
Same. But now I know what "call girl" means
When i heard this the first time, i was like 7 or 6. I didn't knew what this song was about, i just loved it.
And now i finally became to understand what's about.
a really deep meaning,.. but it brings back memories, so, yeah, still great af
2019 anyone?

This song has a special place in my heart. I was born and brought up in a Catholic family in Texas and my boyfriend was born and brought up in a strict Hindu family back in India. He moved to the states for college around four years ago. We met in class and instantly fell for each other. The difference in our races created many obstacles for us. Even our parents stood between us because of the religious differences. But we stuck to it and fought all those battles together and today we are the happiest of couples. He plays this song all day and I had to read the lyrics to understand the meaning of it. I hope we get to live with each other forever. Lots of love to all our Indian bros n sis who are in search for love. Wait patiently, true love will surely find its way to you ❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳❤️❤️❤️
who else just thinks he's voice is perfect! hes magic!
This song is about her selling her body for money, she wants something but she can't get it so she falls depressed and does drugs. She dreams of what she wants, and little does she know that whoever is singing this song cares for her.
Bella Michelson Abigail Downing actually it's about how the girls uncle is a pimp and people pay him to have sex with her and then she gets took to the police station and won't say anything and then kills her in fear of getting caught listen to the next verse...
AshleighLife no it's not it's what Bella said
Bella Michel ed sheeran is the person who is singing this song
thank you
ed sheeran is singing it
I always thought this song was about a cute love story then now I notice its about prositution and drugs
EDIT: After 2 years I checked this comment and yeah I mostly thought that cuz I was a little kid at the time
Its about a girl who turned to selling/doing drugs and prostitution to stay afloat
No offense, but... How did you think this was a cute love story? Its in the minor key.
me too
@@brenon1441 I use to think it was a girl who was cheated on and ed helped her and fell for her but it's a whole new perspective now 😂😂
@@charlotterose6448 I thought the same
Song is still so amazing! Ed Sheeran is such a talented songwriter! His songs are always full of meaning and such powerful feelings are felt when listening to them... ♡♡
Man, I remember when this song was always on the radio a few years back. I never paid close attention to the lyrics, but now...wow.
8 years old: I love this song it's so good!
13 years old: I can't believe she's doing this. This song is so deep.
yep, a 13 year old(whose many probably don't have even hit puberty) is grown up enough to understand the deep meaning of these lyrics.
This kid will be an elder by 17.
I hope parents stop letting their children use internet or even socialize before they're 16 or 17, even more if they had the sad fate of being parents in their late teens or twenties. Don't destroy childhood.
You’re still so young...
Jeh Cakt it’s hard now trying to stay young and keep your innocence in a world filled with drugs and drinking and mental health problems and suicide and racism and sexism and so much hate for eachother, as a 13 year old I can say I have officially given up faith in humanity

I used to really like this song when I was little now I’m 18 and a recovering addict, in 3 days I’m going to inpatient rehab....who would’ve known then that my life would turn up this way...It just made me feel sad
good luck babe. i got clean 2015 and i've been on methadone 5 years and life is... confusing. i just had myself a big old cry after listening to this song. life is a lot less chaotic now though and i wish that for you. many hugs.
I remember listening to this song for the first time on the radio on a hot summer day, & thinking “ wow I love this song!! “ & as I got older I realized that the lyrics aren’t what they really say. Either way I love this song & it’s beautiful because you or someone you may know might be going through the same thing & “ slowly crumbling to pieces “ so just please I beg you pay close attention to whoever it is & support them 🦋🙏🏼

-BiggishNoodle- i ussually do it as well...
Went to his concert last night and loved it.When he sang this song it was just magical!!
I remember when I was in rehab, as you got closer to graduating you had to hold a class for your peers. A girl had us all sit in silence and watch the video and listen to the song. A majority of us were in tears at the end. She gave us a speech on her life and how her drug addict parents had let people "use her" as a child for drugs and her progression to becoming a prostitute addicted to heroin and why it felt impossible to get sober facing the circumstances she was in. I think about her and the others there often, hoping they were able to get sober like I did. A lot of those people had stories much sadder than mine. Remember that the next time you see a person lying on the street strung out. Nobody wanted to grow up and be that way.
I'm 35 and I'm a recovered addict from it all and life I had to completely reset and try to reinvent my mindset and my way of life and living been down a very reckless and destructive path until I let the love of God into my heart after my father just recently passed away last year June 11th 2020 been hard not have my pops around we were best friends i know he's up above smiling down or so I hope or like to think 🤔
I'm so proud of you for getting so far

Ed Sheeran and his songs and the meaning behind them and the soul he gives behind it is really mesmerizing. Really deep song, didn't know what it meant when I was a kid but can completely relate and understand 😊

I’ve loved this song, because it’s so real for me. I hope anyone who relates, realizes they’re are so special :) we are one.
This has brought on a whole new meaning listening to this older than when i was a kid
When I was younger like 6 I hated this song because it made me cry and every time it came on my radio i would run of of my room balling me eyes out😂😂😂😂
And I just realized what it was about I dead thought it was about school then
Sksksksk you knew what the song meant when you where six!? What did your parents teach you!?
Tet
“ the worst things in life come free to us “
I felt it.
This hits different when your heart's been broke
For me this song always hit close to home. Most of my life I've lived in a drug house. My mother left our family for drugs and the only pictures I really had of her were mugshots on ther internet. She always looked cold and her face sucked in. My father always said he would never do drugs but he had a achohal problem and after that it was drugs. He is not in the right state of mind most of the time and calls the police telling them that someone killed us. Even though we are standing right in front of him. He always had a beer belly and seeing him skinny now is frightening. I cant be near him without crying or wanting to scream at him but it would mean nothing because he doesn't understand. I was taken away two years ago when I was 13. I am turning 16 soon and drugs have taken away a lot of important people in my life, so I just wanted to say if you're struggling with a situation like mines or you're the one doing drugs yourself, stay strong please, you deserve a lot better and will some day achieve that.
