That's frickin awesome yes, I'll give you that, myself, I'm more partial to...... I make s**t happen call me a laxative!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! The kid is almost unstoppable!
I feel like not enough people fully understand and appreciate the sheer talent it takes to be able to play, run a loop pedal, and sing all at the same time without compromising the quality of the music.
Lewis Smith There were definitely tweaks to the audio, also the production value is unbelievable so there is clearly production but that doesn't take away from his talent and sound. Just wouldn't glorify him to the point that you would say there wasn't any production or tweaks
that doesn't mean there is no fx added on his mics, even the cheapest mixers can do that in real time - and they are in a professional studio after all
toby marol hes probably got some minor things to get that "studio" quality...but it is satisfying to know that he doesn't need it cuz this bro has got a hell of a voice
dude he is in a studio here lol, there is definitely production on this. I love ed and I agree with you, especially for his lives, but this is not one of those D:
Honestly this is still my favorite thing he's done. Really shows off his artistic ability. His new stuff are still bops of course, but this specific performance is always gonna have a special place in my heart
I low key want him to keep adding to this song until it gets to be like 45 minutes long and then release an album called "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" that has only one song on it.
1,742 words (I just spent a couple of hours writing out the lyrics) and not a single mistake. He just created insane loops and mashed up about 5 different rap styles, with a couple of covers and a new verse over 11 minutes and didn't make a single mistake, that accuracy level is actually crazy. Amazing raw talent :)
+Raymond Morales yes it's from iTunes festival 2012. iTunes exclusive. The You Need Me I don't need you performance is worth the whole price of the EP. I mean 20 minutes is like 3 or 4 songs
Same here. Been loving Ed since 2012. Got to see him open for Taylor Swift and WOW, he deserves every accolade, every bit of praise for he is one talented man! I love this video and the Give Me Love one and come back over and over again 💕
What no-one has noted is the history of writing this song. E.S. was informed by his first recording company, “We’re sure you’re an up and coming young performer, but you need to stick to your easy-listening folksong genre and not attempt rap or hiphop. Also, you will be totally unmarketable unless you get rid of that appalling red hair.” This is the retort he penned to their verdict: “I think you’ll find that you need me a lot more than I need you.” One of the most elaborate fingers in the history of music.
Somebody in the A&R dept. of that first company probably got fired for not reeling him in, which is not a personal attack but an indictment on how the music industry operates. Not sure whether to add smiley or sadface.
Alan Crosby and a loop pedal, don't forget that. and actually, it's not talent. he studied music since he was a kid and pointed in interviews that his success was pure and a lot of hard work
+Lucas Lobo are you serious? I'm no fangirl or anything, but this guy is hugely talented. Obviously, he practiced for years to become this good, but not anybody can do this kinda stuff.
well..his voice is cool tho, but he asured himself that he went to the hard road and worked hard to get where he is now. i've seen a lot of interviews and he said that a lot of times. Of course he had his inspirations and talent, but you said it like he's pure talent. I think if you say that, you're kinda decreasing what he has done so far in the hardwork way. understand?
This guys, THIS is music... like, is there anything he can't do? Singing, rapping, beat boxing, playing the guitar like a fucking god... I mean I just sat here with my mouth opened and couldn't believe how fucking awesome this was and he just ends up with "cool"? jesus, Ed will kill me one day, I swear
Running a loop pedal, making all the sounds live in one take, erasing and creating new all while singing, rapping and playing the guitar, on top of some beat boxing and playing the guitar as a drum. People truly have no idea how impressive this video is. It's what made me a fan all those years ago.
Kaitlyn Bassford. As well he has terrible vision..look back at the beginning of his career.. His glasses were very very thick... He has a stutterer yet with practice of music rap helped him alot... Besides no one that is your true friend or family is going to talk behind your back.. A Real Friendship is Loyalty.
I'm jealous of his guitar and his pedal loop and his headphone ....microphone .....I'm jealous of the air he breathe ...but did he even breathe ??? Such an EPIC performance
I always have to sing along to this but the line "Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me" trips me up so much every time. My lips can't keep up. Hahaha
rozyy21 Practice at it! I can do the whole song now cause I just learned all his breathe times to now when I was safe to breathe and not fuck up and by practicing the hard part over and over till I got it! Wouldn't let myself advance in the song till I got it!
i'm a hip-hop dude, but this guy is just amazing. i love the way he embraces the rap influence in his songs. Rap always being stereotyped of not being musical or whatever, but seeing this guy explains the whole spirit to those who are not that into that culture. he's a great musician. Dre feat Ed would be the shit, that No Diggity cover was already lit, like that 50 part.
Notice that all the time. It’s one thing to know how to flow or to have perfect pitch, its another to understand placement - he actually put his vocals in the pocket (back of throat) to make them match low notes or bring them back to his head voice to make them match his guitar 👌🏽
There are certain musicians who are or were so monumentally talented that the mould was broken and discarded after birth and Ed is one of them along with the likes of Michael Jackson etc...etc..
As the user k said, yeah Ed doesn't have "talent," he has amazing skill. Ed has shown and talked about how he used to suck, and if you look up some videos of him when he started off he was BAD. But he worked his backside off and is easily one of the most skilled musicians because he understands music on a much deeper level than a good majority of pop stars and even producers now days. He works to be as good as he is, and that is what makes him one of the best musicians of the current era of music :)
what in the world ed sheeran can't do? i mean, he raps like a god, sings like an angel, knows how to play guitar like nobody, knows how to do beatbox, AND HE MADE HIS OWN LYRICS
Well he's a good guitar player but certainly not the best. He does do a cool and smart mixing of guitar sounds with the pedal, but yeah he's a freaking god
Yeah! He's enormous talented. Have you seen Gravity - John Mayer (live in L.A.)? I hope you'll love it as much as i do! For me John is the shit. But i still think that Ed is one of the greatest ;)
Other artists be like "Look, I'm gonna need a drummer, a keyboard player, a guitarist and couple of backing vocals" Ed Sheeran be like "Mate, hold my beer. I'll do it all alone"
Im so amaze at how fast and effortlessly he can just put together the whole song. some, guitar layers on top of some beatboxing, plus some claps and more guitar playing, oh and did i forgot the rapping and singing, pfftt this is genius!
This is the soul of a man possessed by the spirit of rhythm itself. Dear Lord, thank you for Ed Sheeran, a man who is both before and ahead of his time.
I don't usually comment on youtube, but I gotta do, I must, to give respect to this pure genius and a fantastic artist. I would give a billions of thumbs up if I could.
When everyone has heard of 'Perfect', 'Thinking Out Loud', 'Shape Of You', 'Don't' .. and you are chilling there like You Don't Need Me is one of his best, underrated tunes..
I've only come to know this song after seeing him live, and man am I a fan after that. Not that I didn't like the guy before but he's just the embodiment of an artist. Whole show all by himself without background singers/music.. Yes please.
So fucking iconic. I’ve been coming back to this for years. Can’t get enough!!!!! Ed you are a absolute legend. It’s been such a pleasure watching you grow and succeed all these years. You deserve it all and more. 🙏🏻❤️
Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd That’s you now, ciao, seems that life is great now See me lose focus as I sing to you loud And I can’t, no, I won’t hush I’ll say the words that make you blush I’m gonna sing this now See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is I'm like glue I stick to other artists I'm not you, now that would be disastrous Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, hey [Chorus] Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me [Verse 2] I sing, "I write my own tune and I write my own verse," hell Don't need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell Call yourself a singer-writer, you’re just bluffing Name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing I sing, fast, I know that all my shit's cool I will blast and I didn't go to Brit school I came fast with the way I act, right I can’t last, if I’m smoking on a crack pipe And I won’t be a product of my genre My mind will always be stronger than my songs are Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia Musically I’m demonstrating When I perform live, feels like I am meditating Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me A young singer writer like a Gabriella Cilmi yeah [Chorus] Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me man [Verse 3] All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music Who did it, who is it, who's in it or what the hell does it matter? Chitter chatter, don't matter what a yidder, yidder, yadder, it don't matter to me All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me? Hey, so I keep singing that When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody Hennesey shots and Glocks, all these fools on the block Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top? I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy With my head in the sky, Ed Sheeran, Urban Angel coming ready to die So see the signs, stand to the side Open your eyes and take a look and realize The resurrection's arrived and as the mist clears I arise from my tomb in disguise, all alone, Alonestar Urban Angel rising from the ashes Surprising all haters, guiding, now moving steady [Pre-Chorus] You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs Into having sex, I ain't into making love Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough You can find me in the club, bottle full of bubbly Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs Into having sex, I ain't into making love Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough [Chorus] You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me [Instrumental break] [Bridge] My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning My eyes are red I've been burning, I've been burning on a spliff off your high grade My eyes are red I've been burning, I've been burning, burning, burning [Verse 4] Now where I come from burning weed it is a habit A big fat bag of high grade weed, you know I got to have it Cos if I don't have it in my pocket I'm going to panic Cos like I said where I come from weed smoking is a habit Yup, we'll do da bun in the place up in the hood One of them things I have inherited like a ghetto man should One of them things is smoking weed it yes it makes me feel good Burning high grade sensimilla, yes it makes me feel But me is a man, ah, talk about sensimilla is a drug And if I start to smoke it I'mma-nna turn into a thug Where I come from that they talking could that only get you mugged Where I come from burning weed it is a blessing from above Where I come from yes we bun it when we listen rub a dub Where I come from yes we bun after we just-a make a love Where I come from yes we bun it when the sun starts shine I blaze high grade weed all the time! [Bridge] Now my eyes are red Cause you need me, I don't need you You need me man, my eyes are red You need me man, I don't need you You need me man, my eyes are red And you need me, I don't need you You need me man, my eyes are red You need me man, I don't need you You need me man, I don't need you [Instrumental break] [Interlude] Woooah Woooah Woooah Yea [Verse 5] Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right I won't stop until my name's in lights With stadium heights, with Damian Rice On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights Because I'm young I know my brothers gonna give me advice Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper Never be anything but a singer/songwriter, yeah The game's over but now I'm on a new level Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal People think that I'm bound to blow up I've done around about a thousand shows but I haven't got a house plus I live on a couch So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out Wow, from day one I've been prepared With V05 wax for my ginger hair Now I'm back to the sofa giving a dose of What the future holds cause it's another day [Verse 6] Rucksack with the old clothes, I rap with cold flows I'm back with the old jokes, in fact you don't know On tracks I throw blows to make my punchlines relevant If you can't keep up you'll get none, you're celibate My flows developing, skin lacks the melanin Give me a shot of adrenaline and I get it in Do it for the hell of it Cause ever since I hit the mainstream with The A Team I seem to sell a bit I took what held me back with the women, then I packaged the image Put in some content, then I sold it back as a gimmick The fact is this, I'll end up dating actresses Wake up on dirty mattresses, I think I'll need to practice this But I make shit happen, call me a laxative World's on my shoulders, I don't even know what Atlas is Hard bars sharp like a cactus is I'm back to rapping, back to back cause I've been practicing I'm back to sing this [Chorus] Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man [Verse 7] I'll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic And I'll be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift Into another rapper shoes using new laces I'm selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the majors Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache I hit back, when the pen hurts me I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee I'm still the same as a year ago but more people hear me though According to the MySpace and RUclips videos I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio Melody music maker, reading all the papers They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator [Chorus] Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me, man, I don't need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you You need me, man, I don’t need you at all You need me man Don't need yu [Outro] Cool…
So a) What he's playing while singing isn't hard b) Notice he doesn't play hard licks while singing c) If there is a hard lick that he slips between bars, you'll notice he doesn't play the licks if he sings through the bar because it would likely make him screw up.
I swear, it doesn't matter how many times I watch or hear this it never gets old. He is beyond AMAZING, his words, voice, and everything else. Such an inspiration. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM SEPT 9th!!!!!!!
Well the songs that they put on the radio are mostly the most pop ones like Shape of You, but if you take a listen to his albums and not go to the most listened songs there's some extraordinary masterpieces in there
same! became a hardcore fan at 14 and am currently 20. my first comment on this video was 6 years ago… someone posted it on sound cloud and if you were to see me listening to music a few years ago, i was probably listening to this or the give me love live room sesh
Gang Projects that’s potentially the most disrespectful music opinion I’ve ever heard. The best song Nial ever sang (little things) was written by Ed Sheeran
I dislike most mainstream radio a lot. But Ed Sheeran is one of the few exceptions. He really deserves every dollar he makes cause he actually has talent which is getting harder and harder to find in the radio world. Also, his rapping slays 95% of today's rappers which is fucking awesome and hilarious to me =D
Kari Rogers It’s extremely mainstream, at least in the U.S he’s on the radio constantly. That doesn’t mean “ok” or “just like everyone else” though, clearly
Who else is loving Ed's 'Afterglow' song?? EdSheeran.lnk.to/Afterglow
I'm the only one who liked even tho this vid was in 2012 you pinned this 59minutes ago and i love you very much. stay safe.
Me!!!
yeahh me over here
Me!!!
me i look back all his songs
Legend says that he's still in that Studio adding lyrics to the song.
LMAO
@@PR4QU3ISS0 I'd hope so
🤣🤣👌👌
Hahaha 😂
That’s good
“They say I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in an elevator.” This line always gets me every time I listen to this masterpiece.
That's frickin awesome yes, I'll give you that, myself, I'm more partial to...... I make s**t happen call me a laxative!!!! HAHAHAHA!!!!! The kid is almost unstoppable!
Oo
It’s “Call yourself a singer-writer, you're just bluffing / Name's on the credits and you didn't write nothing” for me
Do it for the hell of it coz ever since I hit the mainstream with the A Team, I seem to sell a bit
Me 2 ..
The way he casually drops his guitar and headphones to the ground and walks away as if he didn't just blow my mind
Thought the same😅
drops mic. ...
take my like
I feel like not enough people fully understand and appreciate the sheer talent it takes to be able to play, run a loop pedal, and sing all at the same time without compromising the quality of the music.
I surely do not so thank you for providing more context for this amazing recording 🔥
that and have the notes and pentatonic scale used in the song memorized.
I've seen him live and he uses a loop pedal through his whole set. It's basically just him, a guitar and a lop pedal creating an amazing experience.
LA TRUE

Ed sheeran could sing the terms and conditions and I'd still cry
Lol seen this comment about a billion times
That needs to be a parody video lol
THE WAY I FELT THIS
11 minutes of rapping, singing, harmonizing, beatboxing, loop peddling, playing guitar, and all he says is "cool" omg i can't
Cool
Cool
TheWalnut1234 cool
........cool
Cool
No autotune. No production. No tweaks.
Just raw talent, a guitar & loopstation.

THISSSSSS
AGREE! This and Give Me Love from this same acoustic set are everything!
Same
I was so proud of myself for knowing the lyrics of this song, but now I've found this live version. Damn it, I have a lot of work to do again.
Same, I'm going to learn it all over again now.

Go for it man!
Seriously one of his best performances in my opinion! Deserves way more views! Such talent.

I agree but it's even better live
Koty Penn I bet!! I'm SO desperate to see him live but no concerts in England right now LOL
Kate Tomsett Oh my gosh I'm so jealous haha!! You're so right though I NEED to see him in all his glory live :D
+Frankie Chumber hot 10 views in a row from me. awesome performance!
I low key want him to keep adding to this song until it gets to be like 45 minutes long and then release an album called "You Need Me, I Don't Need You" that has only one song on it.
Avery Simmons That would seriously be the most incredible thing ever
That wouldn't be an album
This is such a mood that i almost got emotional. I feel this 😂
Or split the song out into 1-12 different parts about 5 mins each
Ditto! That would be sick!
I'm at university studying music all because I saw this video when I was 12
Keep studying man
All the best man.Hope you meet him. I only hope to be 50% as good as him.
Way to go man!!
Best comment ever🔥
Nicee keep it up this video inspired me too its too good😍
When you have a group assignment in school and you do all the work
This comment is so under rated
Lmao!
😂
I can envision this song came about when he told his band "you need me, I don't need you."
When you ARE the whole group all rolled up into one.....
He fucking slays!!! And then just walks out of there like it was nothing!? 😵💗
"Cool."
onFri
my favourite part "cool" 😂😂 like bruh you drop that bomb and ll you say is cool, cmon now 😂

“I make shit happen, call me a laxative” is the funniest lyric I’ve ever heard in my life 😂
I personally like "They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator" more lol
10:46
Hahahahahaha it is the best and funniest lyric 😂 Ed does have quite a few 😎
Let's just skip around him being racist for about 2 mins

The album version will never be enough!
EXACTLY
I recommend his iTunes festival 2012 EP. His performance of this song was 20 minutes!
+MusicIsLife thank you, just bought it
+Raymond Morales yes it's from iTunes festival 2012. iTunes exclusive. The You Need Me I don't need you performance is worth the whole price of the EP. I mean 20 minutes is like 3 or 4 songs
+MusicIsLife totally worth it. Bought the album and it is great. For only 5 bucks it's a steal
As a guitarist who has been playing for 35 years this is so entertaining such a unique style and his metronome timing is perfect
Ed Sheeran: *creates possibly the best live room performance to ever exist*
Also Ed Sheeran: cool
Literally same thing leaving a concert. Kills it, sings, raps, does all the things and then just waves "THANKS GUYS." AND LEAVES🤣
This guy is a loving legend 🔥
This one and Mike Love's Permanent Holiday live is pretty good too
ruclips.net/video/fU7hZ3smj0g/видео.html
"Cool" *casually leaves*
That's pretty much the coolest thing i've ever heard coming out of a man just holding a guitar.
he wrote it because he made an album, gave it to the record company and they wanted to take it on but told him to dye his hair.
Ed Sheeran - the human radio station - rap, reggae, rock, folk, garage, pop - he'll bang them all out. What a fucking boss.
Joseph Marquez this is the most accurate comment I have seen on the internet in quite a while
So many genres
They say Im up & coming like Im fucking in an elevator
Best line of the song
dkhasar92 *best line ever
yeah.
true
*of the original song
I'm undecided whether in this song, it's that line or 'I make shit happen, call me a laxative'
I disagree - "But I make shit happen, call me a laxative" is the best line song
In the end, he just walks out saying "cool" as if he didn't set that studio on fire in 11 and a half minutes...
Spoiler alert lol
I don't actually mind btw
8 years ago though guys, bet he was shitting himself, surprised he didn't pass out at the end
@@adambuss654 he is still the best ❤️
so this is what heaven sounds like
"I make shit happen. Call me a laxative."
4:44 I half expected the guitar to catch fire
haha! And somehow, I am sure he'd find a way to keep singing through it and still drop the mic at the end!
'Cause I make shit happen, call me a laxative'
This guy has the best lines ever heard
Michiel Steegmans they say I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in an elevator is my favourite line😂
I love how at the end he just says "cool" as if he didn't just bust out the greatest thing in music history
100% with you. I've watched this so many times now, and the most amazing thing is him just saying... "cool".
12 years have passed and this just doesn’t ever fail to make me say wow
THE WAY ED BANGS HIS GUITAR!!!!!!! OMG LUCKY GUITAR!!

Same here. Been loving Ed since 2012. Got to see him open for Taylor Swift and WOW, he deserves every accolade, every bit of praise for he is one talented man! I love this video and the Give Me Love one and come back over and over again 💕
I've been coming back to this video every now and then to be amazed like the first time and it always works. My eyes don't blink for 11 minutes.
Me too!! Never disappoints.
I never get bored of this video. Its just so damn good. What a legend!
What no-one has noted is the history of writing this song. E.S. was informed by his first recording company, “We’re sure you’re an up and coming young performer, but you need to stick to your easy-listening folksong genre and not attempt rap or hiphop. Also, you will be totally unmarketable unless you get rid of that appalling red hair.” This is the retort he penned to their verdict: “I think you’ll find that you need me a lot more than I need you.” One of the most elaborate fingers in the history of music.
haha thats great
Somebody in the A&R dept. of that first company probably got fired for not reeling him in, which is not a personal attack but an indictment on how the music industry operates. Not sure whether to add smiley or sadface.
And here I was thinking this song couldn't get any more badass
That's so sick
wow nice! didnt knew it
When someone says that Ed is overrated, show him/her this. Literally flabbergasted
LITERALLY, if you still say Ed isn’t good after watching this YOU are the one with shit music taste
This is pure musical talent. Right now, only Ed Sheeran can sell out arenas with just him and a guitar.
Alan Crosby and a loop pedal, don't forget that. and actually, it's not talent. he studied music since he was a kid and pointed in interviews that his success was pure and a lot of hard work
+Lucas Lobo are you serious? I'm no fangirl or anything, but this guy is hugely talented. Obviously, he practiced for years to become this good, but not anybody can do this kinda stuff.
well..his voice is cool tho, but he asured himself that he went to the hard road and worked hard to get where he is now. i've seen a lot of interviews and he said that a lot of times. Of course he had his inspirations and talent, but you said it like he's pure talent. I think if you say that, you're kinda decreasing what he has done so far in the hardwork way. understand?
i'm just pointing it out, he has a lot of hardwork on his back. i'm not trying to be a douche or fight with you
***** I think handwork is worth far more than talent anyways, you have to do something to achieve what you want with handwork

This guys, THIS is music... like, is there anything he can't do? Singing, rapping, beat boxing, playing the guitar like a fucking god... I mean I just sat here with my mouth opened and couldn't believe how fucking awesome this was and he just ends up with "cool"? jesus, Ed will kill me one day, I swear
I totally agree with you. His guitar skills are outta this world!!
Mila Potter he can't play the piano. 😂 jokes. He is still perfect.
Yeah, he never got to grade 8 though
***** I didn't know. Thanks for telling me
_ Alyssa_ OMG. THERES MORE TO PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT THAN STUPID GRADES
Running a loop pedal, making all the sounds live in one take, erasing and creating new all while singing, rapping and playing the guitar, on top of some beat boxing and playing the guitar as a drum. People truly have no idea how impressive this video is. It's what made me a fan all those years ago.
This man used to have STUTTER when he was a kid. look at him now. respect to you my gingergod
Theinpass he still does have a stutter but I love his stutter
Gingergod... YES....
Kaitlyn Bassford. As well he has terrible vision..look back at the beginning of his career..
His glasses were very very thick...
He has a stutterer yet with practice of music rap helped him alot...
Besides no one that is your true friend or family is going to talk behind your back..
A Real Friendship is Loyalty.
I think people with stutters just think too fast sometimes and try to say too many words at once so its no surprise he can rap fast.
He has a stutter problem?... I thought it was just normal cuz a lot of people stutter on their interviews...
When you realize how many artists' famous pop songs were written by Ed, this song be hitting different.
which songs?

"Ed, whenever you're ready, sir."
- "..Thanks man."
The two sentences that changed my life.
ANTI V15T What about the rest of the song?
He closed Manchester with this last night... still obviously got the passion for playing it and it was awesome.
I'm jealous of his guitar and his pedal loop and his headphone ....microphone .....I'm jealous of the air he breathe ...but did he even breathe ??? Such an EPIC performance
"Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me"
Damn man! Great alliteration.
Salaar Sikander your name makes this comment so much better lmao
Lindsay
You took the words right out of my mouth! 👍👍
Gives the most insane performance ever.
"cool." walks away. This man is amazing
I love how he just walks off like that wasn't one of the greatest live performances of all time.
I always have to sing along to this but the line "Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me" trips me up so much every time. My lips can't keep up. Hahaha
rozyy21 omg ssssaaammmeeee haha its a tongue twister
Marline Licea it's like, he's finished the line and I'm still trying to say Suffolk haha
rozyy21 Practice at it! I can do the whole song now cause I just learned all his breathe times to now when I was safe to breathe and not fuck up and by practicing the hard part over and over till I got it! Wouldn't let myself advance in the song till I got it!
js123 sk123 hahah
rozyy21 I'm not English but I can sing all of the song I'm so happy right now :D
Ed needs to keep adding to this song so by 2020 it's a 45 minute sonnet.
Douglas Wears lmao I love this comment! Hahaha, it's been a long time since I laughed at one comment, good job, keep it up
Douglas Wears yes omg
HAHHAHAHA
Yes
I Agree completely
Guy in booth: "Sorry mate I forgot to hit record"
😅
To be Honest I would do it even if I hit record just to hear him sing it again
Lol, this just made me laugh😂
Ed standing there like:🗿🗿🗿🗿
Ed walks out of the room and slaps him as the way he slaps a guitar.
Best video on the net.
Been listening since 2011.
Unbelievable
Here we are 4 weeks away from 2023 and still raging this joint
It' still leaves me jaw on the floor and tongue like a red carpet .
Rewatching this multiple times and I hope he goes back to these roots for a few future songs
i'm a hip-hop dude, but this guy is just amazing. i love the way he embraces the rap influence in his songs. Rap always being stereotyped of not being musical or whatever, but seeing this guy explains the whole spirit to those who are not that into that culture. he's a great musician. Dre feat Ed would be the shit, that No Diggity cover was already lit, like that 50 part.
MadLife's Brother
Word, Ed rap is insane!
I don’t know Post Malone changed the rap game pretty hard. His work is more singing with a rap influence.
Marcellus Augustus Germanicus there Eminem feat Ed sheeran though
11:34 minutes for a song and didn't get bored for a single second
"I make shit happen, call me a laxative"-best line in the whole song.this guy is gifted
Fuck no "I'm up and comin, like I'm fuckin on an elevator!" That's straight fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
+Moxie VonFirecracker yeah that one's the best
+Moxie VonFirecracker hell yeah!! 👊
This is an absolute masterpiece.
No questions asked
You notice how his enunciation of the lyrics in parts parallel the picking of the guitar notes. That's a master of his art form, no accident.
Notice that all the time. It’s one thing to know how to flow or to have perfect pitch, its another to understand placement - he actually put his vocals in the pocket (back of throat) to make them match low notes or bring them back to his head voice to make them match his guitar 👌🏽
*Sings like a ginger jesus for 11 minutes*
Ed: "Cool"
This comment gives me life😹
me too lol
God,So true
+Nelli K Imagine how well he could sing if he had a soul!
Nelli K exactly my thoughts
Every time I watch this I shake my head in disbelief. Every. Time. He’s amazing
This is my first time watching it and I pissed that I didn't find it sooner! It's 🔥🔥🔥
I know what you mean. And I’m on about my 50th time.
Ruth Johnson same😂😂
Cant blame u he's amazing
There are certain musicians who are or were so monumentally talented that the mould was broken and discarded after birth and Ed is one of them along with the likes of Michael Jackson etc...etc..
This is the best rendition of this song preformed by him yet!!!
Yeah, this is the one I listen to most. I’m 62 next week and I was late to the Ed phenomenon. Drugs. Alcohol. Bad relationship. All behind me now!
For me, this and the one live in Dublin. He added the Layla riff.
@@SheetFiber Ill have to find that one.

LoL😂😂😂 so right
What band?
Ed sheeran was in the band one direction
This made me laugh
Ed sheeran is one of the few artists that can make a 11mn music, and you won't be bored for a second !
It's totally right ! :)
castle on the hill & shape on you 's out and still watching this on repeat! Who's with me?
me
Linda Kyle The old stuff is so much better than his new album. Doesn't feel like Ed at all
hell yeah haha, his old songs are still the best!
the new album is more poppish. I don't really like it.
This stuff is his best, but its still Ed Sheeran so matter what he makes is amazing
Still the best era of Ed in my opinion. Pure raw talent, no editing - so freakin good
Pure raw talent 😂
Ed is a fucking genius.
Yeah.
he is fuckin genius indeed!
He's one of the only pop artist who actually have talent today.
i think he have skills, but talent🤔? anyone can play guitar and sing, lol
As the user k said, yeah Ed doesn't have "talent," he has amazing skill. Ed has shown and talked about how he used to suck, and if you look up some videos of him when he started off he was BAD. But he worked his backside off and is easily one of the most skilled musicians because he understands music on a much deeper level than a good majority of pop stars and even producers now days. He works to be as good as he is, and that is what makes him one of the best musicians of the current era of music :)
what in the world ed sheeran can't do? i mean, he raps like a god, sings like an angel, knows how to play guitar like nobody, knows how to do beatbox, AND HE MADE HIS OWN LYRICS
lithium rob he cant dance
He can't have decent looking hair ever.
Well he's a good guitar player but certainly not the best. He does do a cool and smart mixing of guitar sounds with the pedal, but yeah he's a freaking god
I genuinely think Ed Sheeran is the most talented performer of all time. A bold claim, but a deserved one!
Yeah! He's enormous talented.
Have you seen Gravity - John Mayer (live in L.A.)?
I hope you'll love it as much as i do!
For me John is the shit.
But i still think that Ed is one of the greatest ;)
I agree. He is the most talented That I have experienced in my 40 years on this earth
I love Ed, but I think you haven't heard about Freddie Mercury.
I’d put Michael Jackson ahead of him but yeah he’s an absolute genius. The Beethoven of today.
Cedric Döz I was just gonna talk about John, the exact same performance, wow
i love you need me i have watched it so many times i cant remember whene i first got my love for it i love youre work Ed
The intricacies and layers of what he's actually doing, I don't think most people can fully appreciate it.
2012... its been 6 years and this the first time Im hearing this. Holy shit, this is the greatest thing I've seen all year
Soiboi_

shit! it's 2020 and it's the first time I'm hearing this. Just awesome
7 years for me now
Almost 9 years for me
Never tired of this song
same dood
agree!!
Wow. This masterpiece is 10 years old... I remember randomly finding it on RUclips. To this day it's one of my favs by Ed.
Other artists be like "Look, I'm gonna need a drummer, a keyboard player, a guitarist and couple of backing vocals"
Ed Sheeran be like "Mate, hold my beer. I'll do it all alone"
Hahaha
Hahahaha yeah. That's Ed Sheeran right there.
Yeah except he does it all in one fuckin' sitting, the bloody madman XD
I know u play fortnite
You should see Keller Williams then
how many times are you gonna add lyrics to this song?
ed sheeran: yes
@@kingofthenorth1295 I've been to his concert 4 months ago and this was his last song :D
Tomáš Antol i can only assume it was and AMAZING live performance. 😳
Original
Check the 20 Minutes version in iTunes 2012 .
Im so amaze at how fast and effortlessly he can just put together the whole song. some, guitar layers on top of some beatboxing, plus some claps and more guitar playing, oh and did i forgot the rapping and singing, pfftt this is genius!
This is the soul of a man possessed by the spirit of rhythm itself. Dear Lord, thank you for Ed Sheeran, a man who is both before and ahead of his time.
I don't usually comment on youtube, but I gotta do, I must, to give respect to this pure genius and a fantastic artist. I would give a billions of thumbs up if I could.
When everyone has heard of 'Perfect', 'Thinking Out Loud', 'Shape Of You', 'Don't' .. and you are chilling there like You Don't Need Me is one of his best, underrated tunes..
Yeah the writing is some next level stuff.
Don't talk about underated songs if you haven't even heard Big Iron.
This is vvip content for reserved audience like us
@@martyrobbins8828 Big iron?
I've only come to know this song after seeing him live, and man am I a fan after that. Not that I didn't like the guy before but he's just the embodiment of an artist. Whole show all by himself without background singers/music.. Yes please.
Also I love how when he's done with ALL of that, he's just like "cool." And walks off lol
So fucking iconic. I’ve been coming back to this for years. Can’t get enough!!!!! Ed you are a absolute legend. It’s been such a pleasure watching you grow and succeed all these years. You deserve it all and more. 🙏🏻❤️
Now I'm in town, break it down, thinking of making a new sound
Playing a different show every night in front of a new crowd
That’s you now, ciao, seems that life is great now
See me lose focus as I sing to you loud
And I can’t, no, I won’t hush
I’ll say the words that make you blush
I’m gonna sing this now
See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is
I'm like glue I stick to other artists
I'm not you, now that would be disastrous
Let me sing and do my thing and move to greener pastures
See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me
I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy
I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free
Suffolk sadly seems to sort of suffocate me, hey
[Chorus]
Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me
[Verse 2]
I sing, "I write my own tune and I write my own verse," hell
Don't need another wordsmith to make my tunes sell
Call yourself a singer-writer, you’re just bluffing
Name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing
I sing, fast, I know that all my shit's cool
I will blast and I didn't go to Brit school
I came fast with the way I act, right
I can’t last, if I’m smoking on a crack pipe
And I won’t be a product of my genre
My mind will always be stronger than my songs are
Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya
Always read the stories that you hear on Wikipedia
Musically I’m demonstrating
When I perform live, feels like I am meditating
Times at the enterprise when some fella filmed me
A young singer writer like a Gabriella Cilmi yeah
[Chorus]
Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me man
[Verse 3]
All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
Not to abuse it and get affected, infected with the who's who of music
Who did it, who is it, who's in it or what the hell does it matter?
Chitter chatter, don't matter what a yidder, yidder, yadder, it don't matter to me
All I want is a bit of dignity in me to battle this industry freely
To be me in this seedy, needy world, can you hear me?
Hey, so I keep singing that
When I first started this rapping shit I felt pressure from haters
Became invaded with sadists and just developed a hater radar
And made for the stars, kept my grind in the dark
And then appeared with a remedy kicking rhymes with a melody
Hennesey shots and Glocks, all these fools on the block
Who said you gotta be a gangster now to raise to the top?
I'm just a normal, casual, usual, everyday type of guy
With my head in the sky, Ed Sheeran, Urban Angel coming ready to die
So see the signs, stand to the side
Open your eyes and take a look and realize
The resurrection's arrived and as the mist clears
I arise from my tomb in disguise, all alone, Alonestar
Urban Angel rising from the ashes
Surprising all haters, guiding, now moving steady
[Pre-Chorus]
You can find me in the club, bottle full of bub
Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs
Into having sex, I ain't into making love
Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough
You can find me in the club, bottle full of bubbly
Mummy I've got the X if you're into taking drugs
Into having sex, I ain't into making love
Come give me a hug if you're into getting rough
[Chorus]
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me

My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning
My eyes are red, I've been burning, I've been burning
My eyes are red I've been burning, I've been burning on a spliff off your high grade
My eyes are red I've been burning, I've been burning, burning, burning
[Verse 4]
Now where I come from burning weed it is a habit
A big fat bag of high grade weed, you know I got to have it
Cos if I don't have it in my pocket I'm going to panic
Cos like I said where I come from weed smoking is a habit
Yup, we'll do da bun in the place up in the hood
One of them things I have inherited like a ghetto man should
One of them things is smoking weed it yes it makes me feel good
Burning high grade sensimilla, yes it makes me feel
But me is a man, ah, talk about sensimilla is a drug
And if I start to smoke it I'mma-nna turn into a thug
Where I come from that they talking could that only get you mugged
Where I come from burning weed it is a blessing from above
Where I come from yes we bun it when we listen rub a dub
Where I come from yes we bun after we just-a make a love
Where I come from yes we bun it when the sun starts shine
I blaze high grade weed all the time!
[Bridge]
Now my eyes are red
Cause you need me, I don't need you
You need me man, my eyes are red
You need me man, I don't need you
You need me man, my eyes are red
And you need me, I don't need you
You need me man, my eyes are red
You need me man, I don't need you
You need me man, I don't need you
[Instrumental break]
[Interlude]
Woooah
Woooah
Woooah
Yea
[Verse 5]
Cause with the lyrics I'll be aiming it right
I won't stop until my name's in lights
With stadium heights, with Damian Rice
On red carpets, now I'm on Arabian Nights
Because I'm young I know my brothers gonna give me advice
Long nighter, short height and I gone hyper
Never be anything but a singer/songwriter, yeah
The game's over but now I'm on a new level
Watch how I step on the track without a loop pedal
People think that I'm bound to blow up
I've done around about a thousand shows but
I haven't got a house plus I live on a couch
So you believe the lyrics when I'm singing them out
Wow, from day one I've been prepared
With V05 wax for my ginger hair
Now I'm back to the sofa giving a dose of
What the future holds cause it's another day
[Verse 6]
Rucksack with the old clothes, I rap with cold flows
I'm back with the old jokes, in fact you don't know
On tracks I throw blows to make my punchlines relevant
If you can't keep up you'll get none, you're celibate
My flows developing, skin lacks the melanin
Give me a shot of adrenaline and I get it in
Do it for the hell of it
Cause ever since I hit the mainstream with The A Team I seem to sell a bit
I took what held me back with the women, then I packaged the image
Put in some content, then I sold it back as a gimmick
The fact is this, I'll end up dating actresses
Wake up on dirty mattresses, I think I'll need to practice this
But I make shit happen, call me a laxative
World's on my shoulders, I don't even know what Atlas is
Hard bars sharp like a cactus is
I'm back to rapping, back to back cause I've been practicing
I'm back to sing this
[Chorus]
Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man
[Verse 7]
I'll keep my last name forever, keep this genre pretty basic
And I'll be breaking into other people's tunes when I chase it
And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift
Into another rapper shoes using new laces
I'm selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling CD's from my rucksack aiming for the majors
Nationwide tour with Just Jack, still had to get the bus back
Clean cut kid without a razor for the mustache
I hit back, when the pen hurts me
I'm still a choir boy in a Fenchurch tee
I'm still the same as a year ago but more people hear me though
According to the MySpace and RUclips videos
I'm always doing shows if I'm not I'm in the studio
Truly broke, never growing up, call me Rufio
Melody music maker, reading all the papers
They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator
[Chorus]
Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me, man, I don't need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you at all
You need me man
Don't need yu
[Outro]

Verse 5 is the best part in my opinion
Ben Champion verse 5 is really good but verse 3 tops it for me. X
At the start I was like "How the heck can he play the guitar like that while singing and rapping?" but then I remembered "Oh yeah, it 's Ed Sheeran".
Because musicians used to have a thing called talent, i know right? Its an alien concept in todays music industry, that's why his stuff stands out
So
a) What he's playing while singing isn't hard
b) Notice he doesn't play hard licks while singing
c) If there is a hard lick that he slips between bars, you'll notice he doesn't play the licks if he sings through the bar because it would likely make him screw up.
HarryPotterforlife💕💕💕💕💕😍😍😍
Harrypotterforlife yes he’s truly bloody fNtastic!

I first listened to this version in April 2012 and every time I listen to this I appreciate it a bit more. this man's talent is incredible.
In April?
Lel wasnt here yet, but it's ok. I love it aswel
It came out in May 2012 u moron
+MegaUtube99 woah guys chill, I meant 2013
Best thing Ed sheeran has ever done... if I ever get to see him live I pray that he does this 🤞🤞🤞
BY FAR, my favorite musician. So talented, meaningful lyrics, and plays the guitar so elegantly. Such a relaxed looking guy.
I am kind of in love with this.
this is so much better then the pop sound he has in studio versions of his songs
this song is on his Plus + but not this extended live version
@SkullRipper - absoultely agreed. It is raw, talented, unstaged, truthful and awesome.
Too true. His concert in Dublin was amazing (on RUclips)
fucking ay... sad how Hollywood has changed his music
This Ed Sheeran was dangerous🔥🔥🔥
I'm a man of simple taste, I see ed, I click the like button
I swear, it doesn't matter how many times I watch or hear this it never gets old. He is beyond AMAZING, his words, voice, and everything else. Such an inspiration. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM SEPT 9th!!!!!!!
+Kayla 1111 Where is he preforming Sept 9th?
xfinity center, Mansfield MA :)
he is a genius, a musical Einstein
I saw him on September 8th. It was the best day of my life.
37 year old and finally broke it with my Narcasistic father.
Guess this song is my victory song...!
THAT was peak Ed. I had such a massive motivation to up my guitargame because of him at the time. What a legend.
This is the Ed Sheeran I can appreciate. A lot of his songs on the radio are mediocre teen angsty music, but this is raw talent.
Yeah, his recorded stuff is nowhere near as good as his live performances.
Well the songs that they put on the radio are mostly the most pop ones like Shape of You, but if you take a listen to his albums and not go to the most listened songs there's some extraordinary masterpieces in there
Peter Fyll yeah, some songs like eraser and new man are great(my opinion and yes i love rap)
I've never rated Ed Sheeran as a musician, I see him more a magician, JuST WoW!!
I've been listening to this since I was 14 and now I'm almost 20 and still vibing hard with Ed
same! omg
listening to this since I was 14, now I'm 18 and been playing guitar and using my loop pedal ever since
same! became a hardcore fan at 14 and am currently 20. my first comment on this video was 6 years ago…
someone posted it on sound cloud and if you were to see me listening to music a few years ago, i was probably listening to this or the give me love live room sesh
32 and still banging man is I'll as fuck people don't realise ed needs more recognition
Human: 70% water
Ed sheeran: 100% music instrument
200% epic voice, even without autotune
He’s the Alpha Ginger. The reason all the others don’t have a soul. He took it all.
@@Mcaark 🤣
@@Mcaark One of the BEST compliments I've ever heard! Nice one
What😂😂😂😂😂😂 ….damn😅!
I send people here whenever anyone says Ed Sheeran isn't talented
Mia Stevans No one even says that
Mia Stevans who says that?!??
Alexis Palmer i came here to send this link to someone who’s arguing with me that Niall from 1D is more talented so you’d be surprised lmao
Gang Projects that’s potentially the most disrespectful music opinion I’ve ever heard. The best song Nial ever sang (little things) was written by Ed Sheeran
Alexis Palmer Lmao for real but some ppl are just ignorant like that and don’t wanna be wrong 😂
I dislike most mainstream radio a lot. But Ed Sheeran is one of the few exceptions. He really deserves every dollar he makes cause he actually has talent which is getting harder and harder to find in the radio world. Also, his rapping slays 95% of today's rappers which is fucking awesome and hilarious to me =D
Ed F@%$ing Sheeran is not mainstream, 'tis why! He transcends ALL...
Dustin Nelson Hells yeah!!!
amen to that
his rapping is so raw and like it's complex like he'll just speak a whole ass song no rhymes no bullshit just raw lyrics and talent
Kari Rogers It’s extremely mainstream, at least in the U.S he’s on the radio constantly. That doesn’t mean “ok” or “just like everyone else” though, clearly
*ed pulls off epic performance*
*Me: jaw dropped*
ed: cool
*walks away like nothing happened*
ikr
He's a legend after all
Easily one of the greatest pieces of artistry of modern times. Just sensational
