the bus driver is like "ladies and gentlemen, if you look to the right, there's an Ed Sheeran on the river singing"
Underrated comment 😂
@@rickysetiadi7016 yep
Lol
The bus is actually empty xD
Yeah but the funny part is Ed Sheeran wasn't all that big back then
NO BRIDGE CAN STOP ED SHEERAN SINGING. LOL.
yeah, ED is the best.
Jian James iutrufdfgmgf
Jian James ja👏💪
He sounded even better under the bridge because of the reverb.
Jian James I LOVE THIA SO MUCH LIKE THAT PART LITERALLY MADE ME CRY LIKE HIS SMILE AND SIDISNDBDKSKDB
love how he stares and the children and smiles singing about drug addiction and the girl selling love to another man.
Lol 🤣
OMFG AHAHAHAHAH
The good thing about being a child is not knowing how cruel the world is
Hahhaa
The ending is the best 😆 big smile on his face singing "angel will die" lmao
Bridge: “I’m about to end this mans whole career”
Ed: “are you sure about that?”
you need like brother ?
@@lucifero9077 i need a brother 🥺
He will pass through that bridge like he did on platform 9 and 3 quarter.
@@Steven-os9vj oh my God that's so sweet 😢
@@gustavofring7774 Ed is a Harry Potter fan anyway✨
a river was his stage. Now its the wembley stadion. So damn proud. This is no autotune, band or something. Its just he with his guitar and this blows thousands of minds.
Ich sehe dich echt überall 😂😂
und du hast total Recht!☺😄
+Sarah Aylin hahaha ja ich bin süchtig well
Stadium
millions*
No effects, no auto-tune, nothing fancy, just him and a guitar, and it's better than 99% of the music on the radio these days. Pure music!!
100%*
exactly what i think
THIS is music, babe. All the other stuff are noise pollution.
ignorant ed fan lmao
I'm not even really an Ed fan but they're right. This is pure raw talent.
Boat man: HEAD HEAD HEAD
Ed: Me?
Head basically = ed with a super strong accent haha
After 7 years since this was uploaded it still surprises me that Ed was still so calm and kept on singing while being under the bridge and almost bumped his head he is the real artist
For real
Justin Bieber woulda seen that bridge from a mile away and jump off the boat and have a meltdown or some shit
He was so into his music that the bridge didn’t even phase him. Me I would have fallen off the boat, guitar and all
Intro, verse 1, prechorus, chorus 1, **SUDDEN BRIDGE** verse 2, prechorus, chorus 1, bridge, prechorus, chorus 2
stev mad underrated comment
Not gonna add a like. X)
😂😂😂
TOP TEIR COMEDY😂 I laughed soo hard oh my goshness😂
Hey guys I covered the song if you want to check it out I'll leave a link 😊ruclips.net/video/Djz1gxBJVxg/видео.html
Its funny to look at that young man, who had no idea what lay before him. Selling out stadiums, world wide recognition, and he's not even reached his full potential yet. I've never met him, but he seems a truly lovely guy.
Absolutely this. That's the sense I got too.
@@soots-stayingoutofthespotl5495 when?can u please tell me?
right! I've never met him but I've been to his concert and the way he spoke was so humble and funny. he really seems like the sweetest guy.
Yeah, now he holds the record of the most grossing tour in the world ever.
I actually met him when he was in Manchester for a concert I got a pic and a signed shirt
Weird to think that he'll never be able to do something like this again, this entire boat session is a gem.
why can't he do it again
@@reubz5k214 He totally can...he's just super famous so will have a crowd of screaming fans on both sides of the river.
@@The_Reductionist hahahahaha
@@The_Reductionist exactly. As soon as anyone knew he was there it would be crazy
He was aready massive at this point in the uk at least. I remember a girl printed a picture off of him and was telling everyone that she fancied him.
11 years ago, I was at the gym struggling to do sit-ups when I first heard this song. 11 years later this huge artist is still my favorite. ❤️
I love
Teddy/XO
Did ya end up finishing those sit ups ??
Amazing.
@@mattlaing6087 ahah I was expecting this question 😆 11 years later i’m still waiting for my six pack 🤣
Imagine him doing this now. Someone would tweet a pic and suddenly thousands of people would be on the banks watching him
True
Queen Ariana Grande The Angel
billy thornton this comment is two years old but now it’s truer than ever
so? wouldn't you also wanna see him performing on a boat?
@@souzi2281 i don't think it was meant to be a negative comment. more like a reflection on all his success. like its crazy how far he's come. his fans be proud
My favorite part is when they reach the bridge and Ed just ducks down and continues to sing and play without missing a single note, I love him so much!
Omg I know right!!! Then you see him smile: ) so amazing!
Yeah, bu has no idea about that bridge, cameraman said him, to duck. If you listen to closely :D But still great
Yeah I heard that too!!! Lol. Then he was just smiling like' phew that was a close one'
Heard it too

RUclips: lets recommend it during a *Pandemic*
Most of us didn't get it recommended, we searched for it even before this pandemic.
For positivity I guess, also don’t mind my pfp
@@o-sama8939 you really wanted to bring attention to your PFP didn’t you? Sorry to be an asshole but it’s really not that funny to most people over the age of 16 lol
@@o-sama8939 I do mind your pfp and it's fucking glorious!
@@celticfan3585 Why
1:12 we almost lost a legend
Am i the one person who love the smile on his face?
No you're not the only one, me too xD When he smiled at those kids I was like: aaaaaawwwwh!
He is soooo cuuute xD
Nope I am too!
Can anyone NOT like/LOVE his smile?! I don't think it's possible.
^true
1:08 I actually screamed out 'Ed, your head!!!' and then laughed when he made it through the bridge like that. And then mind blown, how can you still sound perfect in that position!?! Pure talent!
Chatty Ariya lmao 😂
I love the "Head... HEAD HEAD" of the other guy xD
well he did go flat on the “flyyy” but nevertheless solid performers considering the circumstances 😂😂
I can't help but notice how he sweetly smiles to the children while singing about drugs and the life of a prostitute. Gotta love him for always being kind.
White lips, pale face
Breathing in the snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, days 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 18
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 wanna 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, 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 18
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
But she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyes and hopin' 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 18
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
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't wanna go outside tonight
And in the pipe, fly to the motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die
why these people so chill at ed singing while floating past them, is this such a usual thing that they just like "oh its just ed jammin again" like jeez
I know you posted this a while ago but this was filmed in 2011 when ed was not that famous
+TheStrailxx I reckon he does it often
@@TheStrailxx I think all of this was a while ago x3 except for Ed's amazing singing skills!!!
He wasn't big back then
He was a second away from getting a small bump
Keep up the puns good sir
Saw what you did there mister
Me too lol
You fucking legend.
YEA
Going on 12 years since its release and this is still my favourite Ed Sheeran song. Really believe it's his best work
Same ..means a lot to me due to personal experiences, gets me in the gut every time
Word
What a nostalgic video to back when things were simpler. Back when Ed was our little secret. Sometimes, I miss these simpler times, because we’ll never see this boat performances ever again.
i miss ed being sheerios' little secret. i love reading that term here! yay. back when we were still called sheeranators as well 😂
Lmao, why'd he warn him about the bridge so late
Danya Wazwaz ikr 😂 I was seeing the bridge in coming and I was like ohno
plants are friends Same lol XD
yeah he killed the hope xD
Because one does simply not interrupt this.
Your dark dude
That part where he had to duck under the bridge...LOL! He just kept on going, np :)
yea why not keep going he can still sing bent over sooooo yea
Damn this guy is good maybe he should think of singing professionally
Too late, he is😂
@@tankuser4276 that’s the joke 😂
Yaa, 11 years ago 😅
i believe this comment was from 10 years ago
he should play in the arenas too wow 💯
Who else is listening to this gem during the covid-19 pandemic 2020???
me lol
yeah
Still goin
Me
Me , from Mexico ❤️🤭
Who dislikes this? Seriously, i personally prefer heavy music and rock, but this is guy is a breath of fresh air, just him and his guitar, nothing overproduced or written by anyone else, this is something increasingly rare in nowadays. Go to a video just to dislike it is something else.
+Billy2011C He's just singing about a sad reality, nothing else.
Ooze27
Yes, but to sing it to a bunch of 5 year olds?
I'm afraid i'm not understanding, because this is a guy playing on a boat. But even if it sings it for five year old kids, they still won't get the meaning of the song.
Ooze27
Watch it again. A bunch of kids are stood watching and he sings it to them. Just to make it clear though, I'm not one of the people who disliked the video. I'm just pointing out why somebody might dislike it.
+Billy2011C Oh yes, you're right. I honestly didn't pay attention to the people around. Either way i don't think those kids understand what the lyrics mean, but i get your point of view why someone might dislike it.
+ will always be the most important album of my life
Rose Hudson same here😌
Rose Hudson and "❌" and "➗"
When I’m at my lowest, I go watch Ed Sheeran videos. This is my favorite atm. My boy’s voice has healing powers. Ed is like Rapunzel, but ginger.

Sept 2019 anyone?
Of course!! Love these Videos soooo much👍😊
oh fck yeah, man i miss this so much.
Clovis meee, i love this piece
Oct 2019😂
@@ryujinxyyeji I'm still here too!!!
the best thing ws that wen the kid waved at him after that ed just kept looking at him with an awesome smile !!!!!!!!!!ur awesome ed sheeran
This is what we call "NATURAL VOICE" not like those auto tune, "LET THE ELECTRONICS" make my voice singers... Thumbs up to Ed.
3:49 Sound of a guy falling off his bicycle down into the water after seeing Ed :D
Haha
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 damn
He wasn’t famous then
Its been 9 years but perhaps still the best version of the song I've heard 🔥
Ed is the best singer songwriter of the 10's
So far...
It feels weird now that we have to refer to decades as tens and twenties again.
I feel like the 90's was the best decade, but soon kids will be saying how the ten's or twenties were the best decades.
Stop youre making me feel old when im only 19.
And he has no soul!!...Imagine how bad ass he'd be if he had a soul! :D
I'd say he's one of the best . I'd say John mayer is probably the best or right up there
was i the only one screaming "UR HEAD !! HEAD !!" when he was about the hit his head.i panicked lol
no me too
I did
Damn that was so close haha. He timed the duck perfect.
i love ed sheeran
lucy m. to be fair i love ed but it would of been hilarious to see him fall off lmao
Imagine walking past him when this was recorded not knowing who he was and not realising in 9 years time he would be one of the most well know artist on earth
Its easy to imagine . We have seen a lot of people in our lifetime but we didn't think much about it did we?
He is so cute and so talented!How can someone dislike this???
Ed you are the best!!!! ^_^
people don't give a shit. they are like 'oh it's ed with guitar again'
hahhahahahahahah. i love this guy and what he stands for. i would swim to the damn boat. if i saw him
This is super old. He wasn't very well known back then.
+natisinvisible he sold quite a bit of singles at this time. Well, he wasn't AS famous, but he did have a name for himself.
+Naz Sunny You would disrupt his playing... I would just float on my back next to the boat... gently listening.
same! 😂😂
DJ_ango25 hahahahahaha
2023! I remember when I found Ed back into 2010 or 2011. I stumbled upon his rendition of "Wayfaring Stranger". I proceeded to show all my friends, saying "This is the type pf musician that should be famous, but won't ever be". Well...I was right he should be...glad he acutally made it. In an idustry filled with recycled chord structures and rythmic structures...Ed make music unique again. TY Ed!
Even in 2023 Ed Sheeran is still one of the best artists. No auto tune. No studio just a man and his guitar
he is the best singer ever who agrees
lol no
good not best
to me he is
do u think hes better than freddie mercury?
perhaps i love freddie mervury to
hes dead now
I remember when this was uploaded! I feel bad for the fans that only got into Ed in the multiply or divide era. Seeing him grow since the start of Plus into the global mega-star he is today has been like watching your friend or family member grow up
Seeing this in 2021 fills my heart with serenity and nostalgia at the same time. You Ed, are priceless.
♥Polacy♥ Ed you're the best
You can tell by the way he sings and the way he expresses himself, that he's just a happy, humble and cool guy, like when he almost got decapitated at 1:17 , but he just smiled and kept the show going on!
I remember listening to this for the first time when I was 14...its been 9 years, time passes by but my heart still belongs here
Love how in tune and in sync he is with his art where he ducked down the bridge still continues playing like it was 2nd nature.. truly gifted musician ❤
Ed is perfect.
No one is perfect.
No one loves me.
Therefore, ed loves me.
LOOK AT ALL THE LIKES MUM GET THE CAMERA
succmaster 2000 ❤ I'll love you
10/10 perfect logic
No he's not
in 2017 Perfect album with Perfect songs xd
The fact that he can still play AND sing perfectly while bent under a bridge....he's amazing.
Ed I love you! Just this... Such a sad song but watching you sing it and the joy on your face. SO priceless. Thank you. I can listen to you 24 hrs a day!
Ed Sheeran is the winner of before and after 10 years
isnt anyone gonna talk about how he was smiling at he children?
HAHAHAHA true true
😂
you're telling me children don't bring a smile to your face? the children are our future.. teach them well and let them lead the way. show them all.. wait what was I talking about? fuck you, ed is awesome
an absolute bossanova
I think you got wrong, sir
Timmy did you just laugh at your own comment?
i love this song !!. i've Always loved Ed Sheeran's Deep Lyrics
I love this song Ed since it was the beginning of my love for you and your music. I've watched you grow up over the years knowing you would become famous when I first heard you sing A Team. You've not only done fantastic, but you've gone above and beyond! You're the best there is Ed! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Sings live better than in studio ,fantastic musician ,one of the best ❤️🔥
Who need drugs when you have Ed's Music
1:13 *Angels to fly..* as he ducked under the bridge, an angel but trapped, it's a visual metaphor of the girl he's referring to the song, yup I'm looking wayyyy too much into this haha..
also *head , head , head* talking about call girls, which I wouldn't explain any further
0:30 *long nights, strange men*, no need to explain
1:00 *"she don't wanna go outside"*, camera films under the bridge which signifies her room, a girl passes by which is again a metaphor as a necessity to go outside so she can earn money
1:20 and as ed was under the bridge which represents brothel there were two men that came in which in a way portrays as customers at so-called red district
1:37 as the camera pans to possibly a condo *"loose change, bank notes.."* signifies the girls struggle to pay rent
1:55 passes by kids *"Stuck in her daydream, Been this way since eighteen."* depicts her young days, how hopeful she was and still have the drive to aspire
someone might point out lines *"worst things in life comes free to us"* but that's savage bro
ok I got carried away LOL, aint nobody got time for this hahaha
Usemynames your right you DID think wayyyy much into this
hahaha, it was one of those lazy sunday afternoon.
We need a remake of this masterpiece 11 years later! Come on Ed, get on that boat again.
A lyrical GOD,and sings like an angel on a messed up world but ED makes anything possible with his beautiful music.Thank you for you voice
How can anyone not like this guy! Great songs by a great guy who doesn't fit into the standard formula of any record company, huge respect!
First Song we sang together and still everybody loves it when we played it on the streets - thanks Ed for this beautiful song !!
The greatest acoustic artist of the time. That smile and eyes are just so genuine. I really wish I had friends like this guy growing up. Love ya Ed! I love playing your tunes on my own guitar, I hope you dont mind 🙂

It has been 10 years and this is still my favourite song🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
The simplicity of this version takes me way back to the teenage #Sheerio days 🥲🥲🥲
Can't wait to have you back Ed 🧡 xx
Very talented guy . Ed is a one man band . No autotuned voice but still so perfect. huge fan of Ed sheeran.
I was having such a shit day before I found this. It's certainly the only thing that's made me genuinely smile all day~
Just a pure voice with a clear heart.😊😊😊
ed you are best foriegn singer i ever listen love from india
so much talent, real talent . he will forever be my favorite artist no matter what.
Who in their right mind would dislike this video. he didn't stop although faced with a awkward situation (head and the bridge), he was smiling so cutely when he saw the small kids (love of kids.... down to earth)......and the song is simply amazing...
+nafis zahin sunny doesn't matter if they dislike it, it still gets more promotion from you tube because of it
The A team is one of my favorite songs❤
Love you Ed😚😚
This is the first ever video that introduced me to Ed
His first #1 hit.
It just seems a little incredible that a creature without a soul could create such beautiful music...
I see what you did there. Very elengant sir. I r8 8/8.
What do you mean?
Jonathan Soto gingers have no soul
Ed Sheeran is one of the most talented people in the world. My opinion anyways. He is just so amazing. His voice is so emotional. Its a rare voice he has. I love that ginger.
Talent doesn't wait for bridges😊
Love you ed💕
Pure talent. Just him, his guitar... But blowing our minds off.
Bridge: I think I can stop you
Ed: Think again bruh
remember listening to this for the every first every time I hear it always the same thought goes to my head “he has the voice of an angel” remember admiring him so so so much before the world even knew his name

Doesn't need autotune to make it perfect, he's the real deal ❤️❤️❤️.
This was the first video of Ed Sheeran on MTV that I loved so much and now.. he’s a legend! Thank God for that 🙌🏻
Everything seems it is meant to happen.. so authentic and genuine !
Man, there’s only subtle differences to him now and back when this came out, different guitar, slightly different hair, slightly different voice, slightly different clothes, but it all adds up to a frickin time machine back to 2011, a great year for me :’) a great video haha
Ed looking at the kids while singing just made my night🥺🥰
He's literally Gaara
he needs that red curse mark on the side of his forehead and voila.

I remember being 14, I had just finished middle school, I was happy... that summer I listened and listened to these acoustic songs, Ed was so young, I remembered all his guitar's names by heart, I drew paws everywhere... It was such an amazing time in my life, just before depression hit me in the face. I'm now 21 and I wish I could be that 14yo girl once again, listening to Ed's songs and not caring about anything else.
Black Parade stay strong!

+Gabby Gosh That's what I thought at first too but I guess I'm not that used to British accents
