This is why i love Ed Sheeran. Not only is he an amazing singer and guitar player, and not only does he sound just as good or better live, but also is he the only celebrity to do something like writing a song for a chicken.
+Olivia Jaeggi It's called down to earth. And yes he is :) The newer songs aren't that great though, well people change :) I feel like the old songs really come from heart...
God I love how one of his most dramatic-sounding songs can be summed up by statements like "wicked, let's fix the chicken!" and "I felt really bad, so u wrote a song for the chicken"
I thought like 'what a beautiful love song!!' Then I saw this and was like 'so basically this song is written for a chicken' At least he took the word bird and not chicken xD Imagine 'my Little chicken' xD
Paul Sanchez It can be both: a song about a chicken and also a song with a deeper metaphorical meaning about love. Ed is being modest here in downplaying the full dimensions of the song.
I SWEAR TO GOD ALL THIS TIME I SPENT AGES THINKING REALLY DEEPLY ABOUT WHAT THE HIDDEN MEANING BEHIND THIS SONG WAS (because I'm a philosophical person like that) AND I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE BIRD WAS A METAPHOR FOR A DYING RELATIONSHIP AND ALL THIS TIME I'VE BEEN SO PROUD OF MYSELF THEN I FOUND THIS VIDEO AND IT'S LITERALLY ABOUT A CHICKEN WITH A BROKEN LEG I AM 100% DONE WITH YOU MR. SHEERAN. jk ur still daddy
Lol I tried to tell my friends that this didn't have a deep meaning and that it was really about a dead chicken but they thought he was just being sarcastic or joking around.
just learning this by watching his fingers, its simple once you get the rhythm going but sooo fun to ply, sounds amazing! ed never fails to come up with something so original with his funky lil stumming patterns and stuff :)!
NOSTALGIA HOLY SHIT ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO I WAS GOING THROUGH A HUGGGGGE ED SHEERAN PHASE AND I WATCHED ALL THESE VIDEOS AND I CAME BACK TO THIS SO MY FRIEND COULD KNOW WHAT ITS ABOUT BUT NOW I WANNA WATCH THIS ALL AGAIN HOLY SHIT
they used to play this song on the spring playlist at work (hollister) back in january. glad to see people are beginning to love his music as much as i did
*watching this video reminds me of one of the best nights of my life.. drunken games and watching ed sheeran on RU-vid.. singing at the top of our voices #stillloveyou
U know he can sing when he has nothing but his guitar, and already has the voice of an angel. He doesnt need the help of autotune like most "artists" these days...
