    Who else is loving Ed's 'Afterglow' song?? EdSheeran.lnk.to/Afterglow

    I'm gonna go with my gut on this one, and say that this is my all-time favorite Ed Sheeran song. Geez, maybe it's because of that addictive looper that causes me to listen to this one on loop.
    Nah, it's because I'm a guitar guy and the guitar and beatboxing has me groovin' 24/7

    If you've ever been to one of his concerts, he tells the crowd to be quiet or sing along whilst he sings and not scream

      Good to know, he is coming to my city this month. I don't even know how to scream tho, but ppl in Brazil usually screams a lot in live performances.

    • @iamiupa

      He literally screams sometimes "Scream it out guys"... Guess he's changed in 5 years?

    @juliatomlinson98 12 років тому +2

    I've been to 2 of his concerts and at many songs he tells the crowd to be silent to improve the effect of the song and we respect him by just listening but during other songs he said we can go crazy, we're just listening to what he tells us

  • @xKaddyx_
    @xKaddyx_ 12 років тому +2

    I actually love this. Everyone is appreciating the beautiful music. They're staying silent so they can actually hear the music and enjoy the moment. I'd rather this over other concerts where everyone's screaming and fangirling so hard you can barely hear the singing.

  • @lunovere
    @lunovere 12 років тому

    The crowd isn't going crazy because their hypnotized by his music and don't wanna interrupt him. ^w^

  • @cmochrie
    @cmochrie 12 років тому

    Saw Ed last night i can tell you i was definitely not silent when this song came on. Nothing quite like singing along with your fave artist with 11999 other people!

    I think Ed is so freaking awesome and beautiful. I don't think his music is the only thing that makes him beautiful, I think he's beautiful period. His look and music reels you in so unique and so deep, it touches your heart just listening to his music, I love every song on + , There is not one song by him that I do not love by him, I've recently become a fan, when I find someone I listen to everything, , it doesn't matter. I love Ed Sheeran , Why? There is no one like him, EVER

  • @DriftwoodStudios98
    @DriftwoodStudios98 12 років тому

    its a loop station, so it loops the sounds he makes. when he presses down it records the sound and when its released plays it over and over again

  • @scottyblack2890
    @scottyblack2890 10 років тому +26

    Seriously that crowd is either in awe or just super lame! Then again, lots of people don't care about artists they've never heard of. I bet that serious dude in the front is a huge fan now that he's famous LOL

    It's something to do with the mics and the recording, they didn't bring out the sound of the crowd so we can hear the music better

    @jsr9422 12 років тому +1

    To everyone saying the crowd doesn't think this is a good performance because they aren't screaming, you are wrong. Quite the opposite. I think when a crowd is silent they are totally captivated by the artist and showing total respect. Anyone who screams and yells during a performance is being disrespectful and showing plain stupidity. I'm sure Ed would agree. How can you enjoy the show when you are screaming? But thats just teenage girls for you..

  • @JessieBee94

    @ashyoushahi 12 років тому

    the whole line is "you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8" it means that his heart is like a guitar and the girl is strumming it like she is in grade 8 and has never handled a guitar before...........simple :)

    My mind is a warrior,
    My heart is a foreigner,
    My eyes are the colour of red like a sunset,
    I'll never keep it bottled up
    And left to the hands of the coroner,
    Be a true heart not a follower,
    We're not done yet.
    And I see it in your movements tonight,
    If we should ever do this right,
    I'm never gonna let you down,
    Oh I'll never let you down,
    Now keep it on the down low
    And I'll keep you around so I'll know
    That I'll never let you down,
    I'll never let you down.
    You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
    Now you're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
    Now, my eyes are a river filler,
    This drink is a liver killer,
    My chest is a pillow for your weary head to lay to rest again,
    Your body is my ballpoint pen
    And your mind is my new best friend,
    Your eyes are the mirror to take me to the edge again,
    Now I see it in your movements tonight,
    If we should ever do this right,
    I'm never gonna let you down,
    Oh I'll never let you down,
    We'll keep it on the down low
    And I'll keep you around so I'll know
    That I'll never let you down,
    I'll never let you down,
    You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
    You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
    Hold my heart to stop me bleeding now, now, now, and I'll never let you down [x4]
    'Cause You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,
    You're strumming on my heart strings like you were a grade 8 but I've never felt this way,
    I'll pick your feet up off of the ground and never ever let you down,

    That is absolutely true, but he doesn't want the crowd to scream when he is recording the loop. Otherwise the loop would just consist of screaming people insted of Ed's awesome voice.

    @vanillaluvvy24 12 років тому

    The reasons ed sheeran consists mostly of girls is because they probably like one direction. ed is really close with the band and whatever 1D likes, directioners like them too. I think if ed wasn't connected with the boys, he'd have a more diversed fan base. because honestly, his music is so deep and the teenage girls dont really understand what its really all about.
