Her eyes told the story. Without speaking one word, we saw all her struggles through those eyes. Very talented actress.
Charlie J cant say it any better you can almost feel the emotion at 2:20 just from her eyes
@garbage person Anyone who's been through deep emotional suffering can relate to her pain
@garbage person How about someone who was damaged by another person's addiction? Namely, my abusive alcoholic mother. I've suffered greatly because of that.
@garbage person Thanks
@@LittleLulubee Everything will be okay. Maybe not now. But one day I'm sure it will. One day. You're not alone. I just want you to know that. Keep praying my friend. :)

I hardly doubt you understand
@@tobe-you-tube6612he’s actually right

He is incredible talented lol

This is life 😔💔..... the life is trip
I'll pray for u I'm sorry hopefully it'll get better
and the sad thing is, this is a reality for so many people.
edit: just coming back to this and i didn't know so many people agreed with me. thank you guys.
liz willis he wrote this song for a girl named angel he meet
Holly King Yes, glad he tells a true story, one too many of us relate to. Sad it’s a helpless place to be in when there’s nothing more anyone can do, substances are quick or long brutal years watching a loved one die and not be able to get near them anymore. I’d say the worst is seeing them fade into a stranger, then forget their own family even children exist. Addiction over all is hard to accept...
ungrateful us

this is absolute facts
Whoever is the inspiration of Ed Sheeran for this song, hope she's/he's/they're in peace and doing good now.
My thoughts exactly the same!
She died 9 years ago

im pretty sure this is based off a sex worker ed met named angel that passed away. thats why they show in the music video him sitting down n talking to her. i could be wrong tho but yea

Shitty comment.
Same to you dear. I have been suffering through a chronic disease for the last 14 years and its so painful and i am very positive but some days are really bad and it gets difficult to see the light. And the good in the world. And i feel so dead. And i have been having such a bad couple of months. The routine shift due to covid made my issue worse. And i couldnt help but feel the pain of not just today, or this week or month but of all the 14 years and this song just played and played in loop. And then finally i gave myself a pep talk, came across your comment and it made me cry again but a bit happier. Like i felt your wish and i truly truly wish the same for you with all my heart.
@@issacclarke4194 Maybe you can translate this comment into 'wishing you all the best', or whatever. I'm not religious myself but I wish nothing but kindness upon the person who wrote the comment 'FUA', and I wish nothing but the same upon you, however lost you may be.
“The worst things in life come free to us” - so true
So do the best.

@@XarkoCZ true
I worked the streets from age 13 until I was 17. I'm almost 50 years old and those are the memories I can't forget even though all my other memories are fading.
Wow. I did start the streets at that age too or younger! Luckily I broke free before it was too late at age 18-19
@tallyherkids8095 I figured I was being abused at home anyway, and if anyone was going to be doing that to my body, I was going to make money off it. It paid my bills and, unfortunately, my drug habits too, but I got clean at age 17, and I've been clean since. People don't realize how many kids are out on the streets they think it's a small problem. I'm happy to hear you, too, were able to get yourself to a better place in this crazy life.💜
I see y'all❤ thank u guys for ur continuous bravery, u survived so much, I'm so proud of u guys, and so grateful u could teach me just how resilient i could be too. Y'all are inspiring as f*ck and are so brave, im really sorry this happened to u. Your story is gonna stay with me and im gonna keep my family safe, I still work with people who this happened to and it took a lot off tears and love to get through it, sending love from the women and girls in my life
@@Shellyshocked yea it was a time where I didn’t think about my decision I made them before I started to hesitate I was living a very fast life. From pillar to posts. I live in Jamaica the concrete jungle I’ve been raped many times than I can count gang up on all the worst things that could happened to a female happened to me and I took it all with a smile only because I decided I ain’t gonna stay home anymore n be locked up with no leniency to go anywhere whole time I’m being fvked by my step bro n my auntie man! So road did it for me but I passed the last test God gave me on the road which was to leave a abusive possessive man I found myself tangled with thinking it was love poor me at age 17 thinking this was the only person who behaved as if they couldn’t live without me and it felt like the perfect high but the moment I left him I passed the test n now when God showers me with blessings and I’m like what good have I ever done to deserve this??? He whispers and reminds me of all the Loses I’ve took in life and turned the other cheek😉. Bless u dear!
@@Luke-zv6bb thanks for the love and thanks for seeing us❤️
The lines " The worst things in life comes free to us. " made my day :D

Who else sees this video in February 2021? it is still a masterpiece. The beginning of the career of our dear Ed Sheeran

@@valekm paaaa0
I'm watching this in your thirsty for likes. That's the year
March 2021
This video gives more meaning when you realize Ed Sheeran was once homeless himself. What if he wrote this with someone in mind?
This is making me really sad. Just thinking about it being someone he knew
jarisfurry no he wasn't.
Actually Ed said that he wasn't homeless but only sort of
If you don't have a permanent , safe roof your head your head every night you are homeless
implied in the original comment was that he was homeless to the extent the woman in this video was. He wasn't. He was without a bed on some nights after gig and occasionally slept on the tube. But most nights he had a roof over his head. He may have technically been without a home, and if he was in ordinary employment then yes he would be described as homeless, but this is relatively common for a lot of musicians. No point people trying to make out he lived on the streets for years like some tabloids tried to do.
Who else thought that this was a love song when they first heard it but now realizes that it's a depressing song.
Fernnie G
Lol no it's a about a hooker on drugs
Yeah..
I've always knew it's a depressing song, before checking for the meaning behind the lyrics, I've always thought it was about a girl who used to excel in school sportswise but somehow failed to get a decent job and life, ending in prostitution and death due to drug abuse... it seems I wasn't too far off
Fernnie G right
When Ed said: the worst things in life come free to us
I felt that...
That's the part that gets me the worst thing in life come free to us but also the best things in life are free what a double edged sword oh God gif us

Are you serious?

6 years later and I still love this song
this song reminds me of when i was little and i would watch my big sister listen to this song, in pain but happy tears. she was heavily depressed and listening to this song now makes me so happy that she's recovered
+a gøner aww thats great that she is better :)

Oh my God. I was 10 the first time I heard this. As I got older, I began to understand bits and pieces of the lyrics. I can't believe that I missed, "breathing in the snowflakes, burnt lungs, sour taste," as most likely relating to drugs. This song is a beautiful sad masterpiece.
Same i was 9 when i heard it and now i can understand what the lyrics actually mean
It's amazing hearing songs that we heard before but not knowing the meaning behind them and as the years go on we learn to understand the meanings of the song

Its Really a Good song. I Been Addicted to Opiods since 5 Years, its really hard, Been through 3 withdrawals but i can't Stop it... this song helps so much... i wished i Never touched that shitt...

Still gorgeous
anyone watching this in 2015? I honestly still love this song.
yep
+Roxanne Evans ME

+Roxanne Evans special song, reminds me heaps of one of my ex's. Breaks my heart
I used to listen to this song in active addiction because I could relate to it. I am now listening to it with over a year clean. My life has completely changed and I am so grateful everyday for my new life and my family. I’m never turning back! I don’t have to go “outside” ever again.
Did you get to a point where you don't even think about it? Or while listening to the song, there not even a tiny feeling about That Feeling? I never stop hoping that it's possible and not just for those who now have these lives where they are completely different people. I know That is possible, some addicts became healers or even doctors etc.
I am not at risk of using dangerous drugs today, but still, when i remember only that 1 minute of ...there's not even a word for it... feeling good, like exhaling all my life traumas. And do crave it. Not in a way that an active user does - that feeling whould not allow me to spill my heart on youtube. Even youtube lost some value then.
I just really wish that i'll know that feeling and in this lifetime.
Thank you for sharing, it gave me the courage to write something like this for the first time. ❤
I love you sooo much and truly know you can do this…. God is with you and God bless you ❤❤❤
I will come back every now and then and ask how its going. Hope to hear good things. Keep at it and best of luck.
Congratulations
I'm thankful you made it out alive.
Damn, why it's so true. The first of Ed's songs are the best, and bring a lot of memories.
I had just come out of rehab and played this song CONSTANTLY to get me through that dark time. Never touched that horrible crap ever again, and I'm 12 1/2 years sober. This song pulled me through all of that and have been a huge fan since ❤
Gorl u r sooo strong GOD WILL ALWAYS take care of u gorl don’t wrry
So proud of you
Respect
Is right girl amazing.... I'm in rehab now after a 23 yr battle with addiction...
❤
I'm addicted to this song.
alba bandumba obviously you do because you took your time to be nasty.
Eli Story me too
that's mean by the way. And by the way, I'm also addicted to this song.
No you're not. This song is about actual addiction and this comment is extremely insensitive.
Skylar Webb as an ex addict of 17yrs that comment was soooo NOT insensitive
This is one of his most underrated songs. People think of "Perfect" or "Shape of you" when they think of Ed Sheeran, when they honestly should think of this song, it's amazing.
Yeah this is by far his best
Ikr! This song, Autumn Leaves, Kiss Me, Small Bump, Lego House, Give Me Love - all his best songs are underrated. And although I don't like his new songs much, I still LOVE Ed for these. + is a beautiful album ❤️
I like his newer stuff too, but this song is SOOOO good. I get that its about a "non comfortable topic" but this, kiss me, and alot of the divide album is underated, which is kinda stupid but true
this has like 350m views, which is quite high for ed sheeran compared to most of his other songs
They do think of this song, look at the number of views
2025 anyone?
Present ✋
I haw a bird singing outside this morning. So had to listen to this 😅
I am an ex meth addict. This is the only song that brings brings my mind back to where it needs to be.. whenever I get a craving to do anything stupid I watch this video and listen to THIS song and it’s the ONE thing that gets through my head and reminds me what I will NEVER go back to... one of my favorite songs.. but living this kind of life watching the video I’m prepared to cry.
My best wishes to you, I hope u are doing well, and are surrounded with positivity! Don't forget that there are people who love you!
Best of luck to you
Stay strong x
Keep getting better darling. Praying you all the courage and strength you need. Warm hugs.
Been there also stay strong thing do get easier with time xx❤️

SKILL SHOW What?
sub 'n' smile! That meme is dead and burried mate. Let it go.
what?
sub 'n' smile! Haha nice story, I'm just not that gullable. Sorry. And, and just so you know. Random subs don't get you anywhere. I have 14k subs, but they're random subs who subscribed because I have 1 popular lyrics video of 16 mln views (for which I don't get money). The videos I upload get like 500 views. If the 14k subs were for the content I now upload, it would be considerably more, but seeming as they're random subs, I don't get shit. That's what awaits you too for trying to get subs this way. Best thing to do is just start making videos and hope you go somewhere. YT is not an easy business. The one thing I wanna give you as advice: don't make up some lame ass story and lie to your subs. I know, I know. This is YT, so you're probably gonna stick with your story, but just try to consider what I'm saying here. We both know you're not being truthful. I'll throw you a bone and subscribe, but it isn't gonna matter for shit. You'll see.
When my heart was broken for the first time I would listen to this over and over again. Here I am 14 years later with the same heart ache… listening to the same song
Just a lot more matured nowadays!

I was here when he was spitting on grime with devlin, P money, Ghetts etc. Before his pop days had even started!
My son was an addict, he spent two yrs on the streets begging, he didn't want to come home as the rule of no needles as I have two younger children I had to safeguard. I showed him this video bout a Yr ago n he cried saying it was just like that. But he's now coming upto a Yr clean, so proud of him he's turned his life around, parents always keep that door open they will come one day I promise xxxxxxx it's now official Elliott is a Yr clean today(10th May 2020) so having a bbq but no party til lock down over but God I'm so proud of him xxxxx love you ell love mum xxxx👏👏👏🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Love this song!!! This is my favorite cover: ruclips.net/video/ibDN54HlAkE/видео.html
But it's super underrated :(

These lyrics hit so much especially the next two lines too “this time we’ll fade out tonight, straight down the line” that means that she eventually overdosed she faded out hoping for a better life 😕
@@icytrap not necessarily,"this time,we'll fade out tonight, straight down the line" - could easily be a reference to a 'line of coke/heroin. and obviously when whacked "we fade out" lyrics are often to be taken differently by different people.
There's no' right way especially when as ambiguous. It is a beautiful song, by far Sheeran's best imho.

Who would have knew he was going to be a superstar??
I was an addict for 12 years. This song came out at the very worst of my addiction . homeless and would do anything for a fix. This song is the reason I decided to eventually get treatment. I'm now 3 years sober and no longer crumbling like pastries or sinking and wasting. I'm now married with a beautiful baby boy. if you're here listening to this song because you're an addict and lost and hopeless just know that sobriety is possible . life can be so beautiful again. fight for your life. You deserve it
Lori Hall im vwry happy for you, you deserve to be happy❤❤
Lori Hall awsome!!!
This honestly brings me the biggest smile, congratulations my friend 👏🏽🤗
so glad it helped you :) I really hope it helps other people too...
wow, i'm not normally one to be moved by stories like this but damn

I remembered listening to this song as a kid, and not understanding it, but I liked it anyways.
KRWCookie yup lol
8 years, damn. Glad you found it

Took me 6 years
KRWCookie im glad you found the song you was looking for
You guys never made this song die...
No lie, this song never fails to make me cry. I still remember when I was really young and I loved the melody and thought it was a pretty song. I memorized the lyrics and sang to it on the radio. But being young, I never really understood what the lyrics meant. Then one day it came on the radio again and i told my mother I loved the song. I said it was happy. She said it was sad. I asked, "How so?" She repeated the lyrics to me and I saw the song in a new light. I was pretty quick to piece together lyrics like, "Breathing in snowflakes," and "In a pipe we fly to the motherland." I told my mother, "I understand now," and turned my head to look out the window as it snowed. She asked, "Thinking?" I replied, "Yeah. The snow is pretty," while tears ran down my cheeks. I'm now 17. I haven't heard this song in years, but I just finished listening to it again. My heart still aches. My tears still fall.
you are a poet 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍😭
you are great
Kayla N. Thinkin out loud

Not only does the song make me cry, but now your comment too :'( xoxo
unpopular opinion: this is the most iconic ed sheeran song
Thats not an unpopular opinion. It is his most iconic
No, Photograph is better but yeh this is much more iconic than most of his hits
@@richymt20 i think this one is more meaningful, but they’re both masterpieces
I see fire is the best for me, but it could be because I'm a LOTR and Hobbit fan
This song is the first in his yt I think
The fact that he wrote it when he was barely 18 or 19 is itself mindblowing let alone his vocals!
Ed is definitely a gift to mankind❤️!
no he was 19, since he's 27 now and this was eight years ago.
the video is from 2010 but Ed wrote the song when he was younger.....anyway late teens:)
He went to the shelter when he was eighteen, and started writing ideas down, but he only finished it the next year around February
He was 17! He said that at the concert in Warsaw. I know cause I've been there
AMEN!!

same
That's unhealthy😂😂
Same...
how?
U are not the only one 🙃😂
For Ed it's somehow always too cold outside XD
Yeah, it's really cold outside, it's so cute. I love it. Ed probably meant that it's cold outside and warm inside, under the blanket.
Ksenija Jemensek or, if we go a little bit deeper - "cold outside" may be because of the weather, BUT it can be also an emotional state of mind, because this world is so cruel and "cold" lol just thinking out loud :) inside you're full of love, surrounded by people you love and they love you back, outside there's only strangers and weird shit that's happening on this world haha Happy Holidays, btw!! :)
Samanta Rizzi Yeah, it's emotional, I can feel every day.
Ksenija Jemensek you probably didn't get what I meant... never mind lol I hate winter too btw
Samantha Winter, I hate winter too. I perfectly know what you meant.
wtf i finally realized the meaning of these lyrics 😯
Yea, Ed spent time volenteering at a homeless shelter, and this song is based on a homeless crack addict he met there 😔
'class A Team' 👉 'class A drugs team'

Yep. It’s about a prostitute/crack addict
XD
You've only scratched the surface listen to little lady from his no. 5 collaborations project

Oh how time flies, almost 2025
The fact that most of us were so young when this song came out. But now we actually understand the subject and it makes me so sad to think this is some peoples reality
This song hits so hard , reminds me of a highschool friend who graduated top of our batch and finish college with flying colors from our country's top university. Sadly , a year after graduating he passed away due to heart attack. His someone who came from a very poor family which was his driving force to be on top. To cope with the pressure he abused alcohol and become a smoker , took so much toll on his body and little does his family know he had been suffering from lung cancer by the time he graduated. I guessed maybe God doesn't want him to suffer more and maybe his mission on Earth was completed already. I want to think as well that he is now an angel beside God
Very sad 😔 sorry mate x
Do you believe in Jesus?
Don't tell us your history crack, nobody doesn't matter 😎
Your God made him suffer in the first place. According to Christianity he planned all of it.
@@eduardotejerasosa8476 do you believe in Jesus tho?
😪😪 am I the only one that feels happy and sad at the same time while listening to this song?
Making the melody upbeat and using the line "Class A Team" is way of masking the heavy subject matter
I just feel sad, its a terrible story and it happens in real life all the time, but i cant stop listening to this

It’s fantastic how this was your debut hit single Ed Sheeran. Great song!!!
Being someone who struggles with addiction, this song means a lot. I see this happen every day. Addicts are not bad people trying to get good, we're sick people trying to get well.
True
Kris Sponsler More like weak retarded people.
That shows how much you know...

well, yaya, good for you that you never had a situation bad enough to get you to the point where you want to flee from your life.
but please consider this: every addicted has a reason why he started.
"Now angel will die
Covered in white, closed eye
And hoping for a better life"
That line
Same xD
Every line....
The song has deeper meaning. For those who don’t know. Ed was in homeless shelters when he was younger and this songs about a girl named Angel that he knew. She was a prostitute who was addicted to drugs. “Angels to fly”
Not quite, Ed met 'Angel' in a homeless shelter where he was performing for a xmas charity type of thing, he wasn't actually a homeless person, sometimes sofa surfed and slept on trains at times after moving to London as a teenager, but he was still an independent artist at that time

The fact people are commenting on this video years after its release is incredible. Just goes to show how powerful music can really be.
It's sad that people have the image of Ed Sheeran as the singer of Shape of You while there are many better songs that he has composed and written....
True
It’s a sad tale
what is wrong with shape of you?
@@ferdinandmartin8345 Nothing's wrong with Shape Of You., It's just that Shape Of You isn't Ed's best song and people should know about his other songs as well...
That's all
@@ani_mesh best is relative ^^
This song discribes an amazing lassie I met only knew for 1yr. She tried to get out but heroin won. RIP wee Mandy.
The song is about a woman named Angel that was addicted to crack that Ed met while he was doing charity work in a shelter in London.

Seriously??
@@ambergutierrez5433 yes
White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upper hand
Go mad for a couple grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
For angels to die
why?

I honestly really need to get this off my chest. 10 years ago, songs used to be so 'real' like she will be loved by maroon 5, love the way you lie by rihanna, eminem and skylar grey, the a team by ed sheeran and so on... what happened? Where are the songs describing real life struggles and sacrifices and emotions? Where are the songs that actually made it seem like you were listening to a piece of art, poems almost? It seems it got downhill after 2016 and now it feels we hit rock bottom. Also with the social media, instagram etc dominating life so much and people aiming for those 'perfect' lifestyles, musicians trying to make bops about sex and fun. What happened to the simpler times when we didn't compare our lives as much and put our struggles into words?
I miss it and i didn't realize times could change this much...
Yeah, i know some people would say 'we just grew up' but i was 25 when this came out and now 35 and i can confirm that times did really change regardless of the 'growing up' we did. It's a much more toxic society, sadly.
You both are very true, unfortunately :(
U gotta go to the Alternative or Punk (or some people call it emo or scremo)
Listen to these bands:
1. All Time Low (the band not the song)
2. Pierce The Veil
3. Sleeping With Sirens
4. Three Days Grace
5. Melanie Martinez (her K-12 album movie is AMAZING there are SOOO many good topics she covers like women's bodies, eating disorders, men in government and more! Her Crybaby album is also AMAZING she talks about depression, being a child in a home where theirs infidelity and abuse its just all great!!!!!)
6. Pink
7. Jesse J
And I can list more if interested!
I basically only listen to music that is relatable or emotional or inspiring

Angel was a real person Ed knew when he was doing small gigs.
Yes ❤❤❤❤truth.
So many great double meanings in this song. A-team could mean she used to be an honor roll student or that she takes class- A drugs. The sinking wasting bit could be either from drugs or HIV, but could also reference the disillusionment that many of us experience in the transition from childhood to adulthood. The pipe could be referencing either a literal crack pipe or a 'pipe dreams' that pair with the earlier reference to day-dreaming. 'Snowflakes' could be cocaine or the cold-environment that is also reinforced. It could be an over-reaching analysis, and maybe Sheeran didn't intentionally write these lines as double entendre's but the ambiguity in this song I feel is quite masterful and makes the song relatable to damn near everyone.

I appreciate your comment 💚
I like your comment
Geez y can’t some ppl just listen to a song
I wasn't going to like because it was on 69, but then I read the comment and could only think: this completely changed my perception of this song. Bravo, Sir.
Addiction is one hell of a battle man. Im trying my best to stop but its so hard to find a reason to stay sober. The world is on such a dark times we all need jesus
Embrace the Dark 🦎♟️
we need you…… ❤
I know the feeling it sucks
Where is Jesus or god there's people and children who are in agony and starving don't see him helping them
One day you'll find the will to fight for your life, it just takes one moment. Good luck to you and remember people are out there that will listen and understand ❤
