      Ed would have been 12 when this came out. Great clip guys, makes me remember that even the biggest names in the world are at the end of the day, and in a certain essential way never any bigger than the greats who came before them, because without our teachers and those who've inspired and paved the way for us, it's impossible to say where we'd be or if we would be anywhere at all.
      Oh and Ed and Justin, guys I'm having a vision. Let's round up Adele and Taylor and Axl and Slash and Tony and Flea and Paul and Jimmy and Robert and Rakim and Nas and maybe a couple other guys I know and put on a Concert Event of the Millenium next year in Azerbaijan for cop29, 2024 and let the suits know how we really feel about the direction society is going.🎉

    Had to do a double take last Saturday, I wasn't expecting to see Ed Sheeran on that stage. But it was absolutely brilliant, thank you so much. Best night I've had in a while, and absolutely one of the best concerts this year for me.

    The mark of a beautiful song-whether rocked out on electrics and amps or just jammed on acoustically backstage, even by giants in their respective different genres-remains still, a beautiful song, that was beautifully played and sung. Cheers!

      More like this is a super typical chord progression that is simply easy to jam over for any musician worth their salt. No offense to Ed and co here, they did a super good job. Just that it doesn't take a musical genius to do any of this at all.

    I always love the words to Darkness songs but there’s something wonderful about the lyrics to this one in particular. “An assault my defences systematically failed to withstand” and “The state of elation that this unison of hearts achieved” are so rhythmically perfect that I can never just listen to it once. I feel like that hyena in The Lion King who, when the other one says “Mufassa”, shudders & goes “Do it again!”. 😅 IDKY but it tickles my brain in the best way! 😂 JH is such a brilliant lyricist. Wish he got more recognition for that.

    Ed Sheeran doesn't play my kind of music but I did enjoy his performance at The Roundhouse the other day. Was a great night!
    The sounds and layers he gets from his looping station is very impressive.
