    About Ed Sheeran:
    Ed Sheeran may be the quintessential pop star of the 2010s: an internationally acclaimed, multi-award winning singer/songwriter who seems to acknowledge no boundaries between styles or eras with elements of folk, hip-hop, pop, dance, soul, and rock woven throughout his music.
    His incredible catalogue includes the studio albums ‘+’ (plus), ‘x’ (multiply) and ‘÷’ (divide) which spawned hit singles such as ‘The A team’ , ’Lego House’, ‘Sing', ‘Thinking Out Loud’, ‘Photograph’, ‘Shape Of You’, ‘Castle on The Hill’ and ‘Perfect’.
    In 2019, Ed Sheeran released the genre-spanning ‘No.6 Collaborations Project’ which featured a wide-range of artists including ‘Justin Bieber’, ‘Camilla’ Cabello’, ‘Travis Scott’, ‘Eminem’, ‘Cardi B, ‘Paulo Londra’, ‘Bruno Mars’ and ‘Stormzy’ amongst many others, producing hits such as ‘I Don’t Care’, ‘Beautiful People’, ‘South of The Border’ and ‘Take Me Back To London’.

    I will never forget the concert I saw him sing this at. It was the beginning of his career and he was so excited to be singing at a decent sized place (it was the Nokia theatre). He sang the ending with no mic or music and just let his voice echo through the theatre. He was so excited the people in the back could hear him. It was one of my favorite musical moments I’ve witnessed

      +Huehuehue Everyone is auto-tuned (I'm a studio engineer), I'm sure this is too once it was actually mixed. The difference is that he really good and needs very little (and when it's done well, you can't tell that it's not natural). That being said, he is ridiculously talented.

      I say that because he sounds the same whether he sings in studios or talk shows. Normally when a singer comes on a talk show and sing, they sound so much worst than they do in the studios.

    I am a poor, wayfaring stranger
    Traveling through this world alone
    And there's no sickness, toil or danger
    In that bright land to which I go
    And I'm going there to see my mother
    And I'm going there no more to roam
    And I'm only going over Jordan
    And I'm only going over home now
    Hey ay ay yeah [12x]
    And I know dark clouds will gather me
    And I know my way is rough and steep
    And the beautiful fields that lie just beyond me
    And I know my needs are rough and steep
    And I'm going there to see my mother
    And I'm going there no more to roam
    And I'm only going over Jordan
    And I'm only going over home now
    Cause I am a poor, wayfaring stranger

I remember them coming back and telling me all about it, and how he asked everyone in the room to be completely silent so he could perform this song with the loop pedal. My mum even recorded my favourite song of his so I could watch a bit of the show. It’s still a very fond memory and I’m 16 now

    I was asked yesterday, if you could listen to one artist forever, who would it be? I showed them this video. Though I do not listen to him terribly often, he is a musical genius, he is an artist that simply CANNOT get sick of. There is nothing he can't do, his music can get me so hyped in a mater of seconds and that, to me, is the meaning of music. Whether you like his published music or not, you have to respect him as an artist. You have to respect the fact that he is able to completely make a song, using only his voice, in one take, in 4 minutes. That my friends, is extraordinary. -Robert/17

    Ed Sheeran has such a soulful sound. He really is a talented young man. He's coming to my city in June and I will definitely be getting a ticket to see/hear him live. I'm sure it will be a great show.

    Just wanted to say for 8 years now this song/recording has never failed to pull me out of an anxiety spiral. The way it builds and ebbs/flows... every second of it is so pleasing to my ears. Thanks Ed or whoever moderates EDs YT page you’ve made some incredible music and I know you will continue to do so, know that it does make a difference in people’s lives ❤️

    Hard to believe I was first listening to this eight years ago and he's since gone from some awesome musician I found on UA-cam to someone who's name is everywhere. Okay, maybe not hard to believe, since I could immediately see how insanely talented he was, but it's still nuts. Seriously, Ed, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing you live again next time you come my way.

      I didn't like him at all when I saw him open up for Taylor last April. I'd actually never heard of him before her tour announcement. I think the reason I didn't like him is because the acoustics in that arena were HORRIBLE (it was in Atlanta, Georgia) and with his accent I couldn't understand anything he said. And he drug his songs out too long. But since then I've fallen in love with Lego House, I See Fire, Give Me Love, and A team. And this..this is my new favorite thing.

    And there's no sickness, toil, or danger
    In that bright line to which I go

    And I'm going there to see my mother
    And I'm going there no more to roam
    And I'm only going over Jordan
    And I'm only going over home now

    Hey ay ay yeah [x12]
