- Ed's in the country for Nova's Red Room at the Sydney Opera House, and before the show he opened up to Smallzy about the meaning behind 'Supermarket Flowers'
Supermarket Flowers is one of the only songs that made me feel emotional and I relate to Ed because my grandmother passed away not too long ago.
Daryl Honor awh I'm sorry fro your loss :(
Same here :(
Yes! Same here!
I felt the same, as soon as I listened I felt it and thought of when my grandma passed away in July.
I'm sorry to hear that. Mine too. She passed away in june. She was very important to me and when I heard this song it reminded me of her and I cried
That supermarket flower just keeps cutting onions... damn...

Supermarket Flowers is such an emotionally powerful song because everyone can relate to it. I've lost loved ones, and I still sometimes take my family for granted. It made me call home to my mom and really tell her how much I love & appreciate her.
Good on you - it's so nice to hear about people letting their family know how much they mean to them. I lost my Mum around 3 months ago, so the song is still painful to listen to, but knowing that its made you contact your mum brings me a bit of happiness. I'm sure she would've loved that call.

It made me call home to my mom too! 😭
.
Same 😭
"Flowers are flowers"
I agree, I think people shouldn't care where you get them or how much you spent on them, the simple gesture should be enough!
Yes and words are just words, but they aren't, are they.
@@evldvl1 u want expensive flowers or what? Words and flowers aren't even the same thing bestie
Listened to this song with my mum and we both cried
Brynn Turner same😊😍

ED SHEERAN IS THE BEST
i tick so
agreed
I don't normally comment about videos, but seriously, listen to an album before you interview someone. Ed's work deserves more Nova, you should be ashamed.
Supermarket flowers gets me every time. What an amazing and beautiful song.
this interview was filmed 1 month before the album was released, so he'd only heard shape of you and castle on the hill at that time but Ed had posted the songlist on instagram:)

Anyone who has ever had to clear out a hospital room, nursing home room, or a home your parents lived in for almost 50 years can not have a dry eye. Wonderful, heart felt song. I thank Ed for honoring the memory of his gran this way. God bless him and he will be home with her some day.
This song was played at my grandmothers funeral and I just love the song every time I play it on the piano I cry.
My nanns one to so thankfull
omg so emotional gd everytime i listen to it i wanna burst into tears its just so beautiful
emma churches same
I agree 100%. We actually played this song at my mothers funeral earlier in October. Still breaks my heart every single time. ❤️
Emma same my grandfather passed a few months ago every time I here Supermarket Flowers I just want to ball my eyes out yet some how I'm able to hold it in 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I can't listen to it without having to cry. I'm usually already crying before the part 'Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up...' has started
It always gets me when he says, "But mom, there's a tear every time that I blink."
love when artists make real music based on real life, that's the type of music that touches us all bc we've all felt that, can feel the emotion in the song. exactly why he is so successful
supermarket flowers got me bawling in the first 10 seconds. reminds me of a little boy I use to provide respite care for. he passed away in December
Emmy Belland awwwh i'm soryy to hear that but that's such a nice thing of you to do for him! ❤️
+Laura I was chosen to be one of his Paul bearers and that had to be one of the hardiest thing I ever had to do. I tear up thinking about it
I am so sorry
Supermarket Flowers describes just how I felt with the passing of my mom from cancer. Hallelujah, she was an amazing mom but God definitely said Hallelujah, you are home.
Mine same but from Alzheimer’s. it was a blessing for her to go. I always thought I’d be an emotional wreck when it came to my mum dying. I never imagined praying for her to die and her suffering to be over. Ps I was still an emotional wreck.
Never heard this song until today. My mom passed a couple of months ago, and I found it in a motherless daughter group. Once I heard the lyrics, I bawled my eyes out. Especially when he said "A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved" I felt that.
my top three:
1. Happier
2. Supermarket Flowers
3. Hearts Don't Break Around Here
I can't wait for the new album, it's been so long, I don't want him to leave again aha I will pre-order the vinyl really soon and I know I'll cry the first time I'll listen to it… can't wait
So tell me isn't this album a life or what? lol
It is so great ! It it not my favorite album to be honest but I love it ! I'm just a tiny bit disappointed because I thought the vinyl would be on a beautiful pressing but that's fine 😂
No offence intended, but this radio presenter could not have listened to this song. It's pretty obvious it's not about 'buying cheap flowers'.
Briony Scotton mate that's so true. I was like so maybe u should listen to a song before making judgements 😂

To be fair to the interviewer, he didn't know the song. Probably had no idea that's Ed's choice for the best song from the album. And he apologised for it.
Offense.
My father passed last year and this song really hit home. He loved tea. He loved ginger ale. He loved.
"Dive" is the megahit from his next album
Marvin Steele I totally agree with you on this one.
Yeah for me its
1. Dive
2. Supermarket Flowers
3. Happier
This song brings tears to my eyes more than 30 years after my grandmother died from cancer.
I thought I was past suffering but I think I will never be able to leave it behind completely. She was the most wonderful grandmother you can imagine and I will always miss her.
Thank you so much for this song Ed Sheeran.
This song spoke so much for me 2 weeks ago I lost my mom to cancer and exact same thing cleaning out her hospital area and even folding her nightgown, ugh I am a mess thank you Ed for making a song that speaks more to me then anything else I have ever heard.
We played this at my Mum's funeral on the 30 April 2020. Today is the first time I have been able to listen to it again and I cried again. The words are very meaningful and it emotional. Mum passed away after contracting covid and pneumonia. I think of her every day back in April 2020. There will always be a part of me missing. 💕
Apparently this song is dedicated to his grandmother on his mother's side. I wish I knew my grandparents, my mom would always talk about my grandfather who died when I was baby, told me that I was so much like him, that he loved me more than anything, that I was the apple of his eye. I wish I could see him, tell him that I'm doing alright, that I'm in college, that I'm working hard, that I just got my first job as a lifeguard, that I love him and that I'm glad that he helped raise me, even though I barely remember him.
i keep imagining my mom, when its her time someday. i just cant.
Supermarket Flowers always make me think back to my own grandmother. God must be so glad she's finally home again. No more pain and suffering. Thats the only thought that somehow eases the pain of her passing away.
Every time I listened to this song, it always made me feel like my grandma and grandpa just passed away yesterday but it was actually 10 years ago. My grief feel so fresh. My happiness was them. I understand exactly what he meant in his song. I come in here just want to listen to his story.
I lost my Pop just over a year ago to pneumonia it was so unexpected, one day he was here the next he wasn't but he told my father that he could see the light. On the 3rd of January of this year my world was rocked again after been told my Grandma was ill with acute myeloid leukaemia, she was told weeks to months to live. She passed 9 days later, we never left her side and was there when she took her last breath. I'm so grateful for everything my grandparents did for me and my family. it still doesn't feel real, like my just expecting to walk in their home and still find them. R.I.P Grandma and Poppy xx may your legacies live on
Supermarket flowers
The lyrics you were an angel in the shape of my mum. When i hear that i think of my mum she passed away 4 years ago on the 9th of december. Ed sheeran got me through the worst the times of my life. Castle on the hill shape of you was played alot at that time of my life and perfect when my mum was here.
Thankyou so much
I cry every time. If you’ve lost someone you love, which we all have, you can relate.
Song gives me chills. Absolute chills.
My great grandma is on hospice right now and this song hurts so much because today might be the day but when I listen to this, I love her so much and it truly hurts because I am going to miss her so much
Supermarket flowers will always be my fave Ed Sheeran song.
i love him so much
Thank you for Supermarket Flowers and for Visiting hours as well. You are precious Ed
this reminds me of my mum who I miss and love so much 😘
This song Made me cry just sitting alone in my room At 3 a.m., i put it on, and immediately started crying, because it's just so beautiful, Props to ed right there, he's telling a wonderful story
I'm crying after he talked about clearing the hospital room.
Love supermarket flowers
My gran passed away last year and I listen to this song ❤️❤️❤️
Supermarket flowers is a special song for all of us who have lost our beautiful mums xx
This song resonates with me on such a powerful and personal level. My mum died last year from cancer and the lyrics of Ed’s song connected with so many similarities to how everything happened. Firstly my brothers name is Mathew and he has many photo albums that he creates and looked through to find pictures of mum, mum drank ginger beer in hospital and she had lots of flowers given to her. I bought her a stuffed bear that she used to cuddle at night and lastly... my mum always was and will forever be, my angel. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about her and all I can do is say thank you to Ed for creating such a beautiful and meaningful song. Thank you
supermarket flowers has got to be one of the most beautiful, heart felt song I've ever heard. x
Supermarket flowers is like a definition of a beautiful song for me.
Beautiful. I can relate to the song. It's like it was made my grandma, she was my Mom ❤️👏👏
My mother recently passed & this is the song we played as her casket was carried to her final resting place. Thank you Ed
Supermarket Flowers and Happier are both insanely beautiful and make me so emotional.
Yes, what a song we had that song at my mums funeral in 2019 . It said it all and more .
This whole album is incredible!!! This song, perfect, and dive are my favorite songs on this album.
just got to hear the song lately though it was sung 4yrs ago...the song is so heart touching and i get to listen a million times a day....the song is a blessing
Supermarket Flowers...beautiful. I just lost my beautiful sweet momma and this song just touches my heart at so many levels
I am a 67 year old Granny and Great grandmother of 23 children. I absolutely love Supermarket Flowers. My children can't believe that I love your music. They think I am too old to enjoy it but if they love why can't I? They are so wrong. Love your voice and your music. God bless.
Thanks for this song, Ed. I have summoned up the courage to sing this at my Mom's service. She gave all the sons the gift of music. Now it is time to say thanks.
That's actually insane. Everytime I listen to that song I think of my grandmother who died of cancer a few years back. And the fact that he wrote it about his grandma blows my mind
only good songs can make me emotional. and supermarket flowers is one of the strongest- actually the most affective one there is❤️
Honestly wouldn't care where the flowers are from if someone ever got me supermarket flowers, it's the thought that counts!
Also.. Supermarket flowers make me cry every time 😓 such an emotional song!!💔❤️
as Ed said flowers are flowers..the reason why they bought supermarket flowers was because the shop was beside the hospital
Thank you, Ed Sheeran for creating this song. My nana passed away a few weeks ago and we used this song at her funeral. It fit so well as she was, and still will be one of the biggest flower lovers and ginger beer lovers. Every time I hear this song now, I have to hold in my tears. Thank you Ed, and even if no one reads this, I'm still going to show gratitude towards you and this song. I love you nana ❤️😢
Supermarket flowers makes me cry because I also lost my grandma about 3 years ago I miss her really bad
Supermarket flowers made my eyes fill with tears... it's a song that makes you so emotional because you can relate to it..... 😔 And it's so beautiful.. xx Carry on Ed... xx
perfect, supermarket flowers, and save myself are the most beautiful songs on this album
everytime I hear that song it reminds me of my mother I missed her so much
I just listened to this song and it made me think about my gran who passed away in 2013. She kind I've brought me up so she was like my gran, mum and best friend. My tear ducts started malfunctioning during this song and it turns out, it was also for Ed's gran. I'm not sure if you ever read the comments Ed but sorry for your loss man.
Supermarket Flowers makes me remember when my mother passed,it is soothing and was exactly what i needed to get through losing my mother. Thank you Ed for an amazing story song. God Bless you and your family
Reminds of my grandmas 💔 gone but not forgotten
A week ago today this song was played as a send of to my great grandmother, I will miss her significantly❤ love you super Nan
It’s been a month since she passed, how crazy
Supermarket flowers is my fav song ever!❤️
After hearing supermarket flowers today for the first time whilst at a funeral it’s now my favourite ed sheeran song
I think of my Mom every time I listen to it and teared up a little today being Mother's Day. Great song!
Are you kidding me? I'm having SUCH GOOSEBUMPS listening to Castle on the Hill it makes me feel wonderful. I'm always singing at the top of my lungs when I hear it on the radio in the car...
Guys the album was released on March 3rd and the interview happened on Feb 8th. Since he couldn't listen to the song yet, it is normal he could only try and guess what was behind the title
What a great guy he is ! May he always stay grounded, safe & well !
I lost my great grandma around the time this song was released. I was doing a music project where i had to list songs I relate to. I searched songs about losing someone close to you and I saw supermarket flowers and i listened to it. I was bawling over how much I relate. My grandma was the sweetest person ever. She was an angel. She died peacefully surrounded by her daughter grand daughter and great granddaughter. Even though it's almost a year I struggle with her lost. I know that she's with the love of her life in heaven with the other angels
the meaning makes me feel sad. my gran has recently died in hospital as well and I had to help my parents clear her house. I hid things and picked them up as we left. I never want to lose those memories
God Bless Ed And May His Gran Rest In Peace Amen God Bless Amen🤲🏻🧡🕊️🕊️🕊️🙏💗👼🏻😇🙏🏻💕💜🙏🏻✝️✝️✝️
this song is just incredible!!!!
Super market flowers means so much to me bc my best friend passed away only 3 weeks ago and it means so much to hear this song so thanks Ed
Well ed it definitely made your point of what the message is in that song because it was played at my nana’s funeral so thank you for writing this song it means so much to me and my nana

4 years ago yesterday my Mum passed away. She truly was an angel in the shape of my Mum, so that's how I relate to Supermarket Flowers.
Oh my God, that's so sad! May your mother rest in peace.
jamesbluntirules I'm so sorry my Nana passed away two years ago April 15th in her sleep, she had health problems and a year ago my Poppa also passed away in February in his sleep, he apparently had a stomach aneurysm, during the night it ruptured, it was very shocking as he had been to our house a day before and he was completely fine. R.I.P Nana and Poppa, and also your Mum.
One of the most beautiful song I have ever heard, touched the heart!
I burst into teas when I first hears this song... it really is a song dedicated to my grandma😭💖
