5 years later and this is still a masterpiece ✨

His voice just gets better, love this piece

Anybody know the chords?

I love his live performance more than any other singer

How can he remember the lyric?? It's sooooo long!

He is fucking awesome

Words were uttered like water flowing.

🔥 mad Skillz

When I turn the music off...all I’m left with is to pick up my personal pieces 🙏🙏🙏

Don't ever treat me as hoax love ya future

Big up tune as x

I hope u and your wife be happy long live soul x god bless x

Did anyone know what chord he used?

I love how the lyrics that traduce what he felt/feel too hit me. My life never be the same without all The words that he write in all of his music. He change my life.. All my bad times and all that I want to say for someone, he say in his lyrics. This music is now on my top of Ed. Thank again!

He's still amazing without auto tune

He rarely sings this song. He regrets putting on his album. Guys he’s Ana amazing person.

I love this song so much. I don’t know what life would be like without Ed. I’m 11 years old but this is still my favorite song ever. I’ve been listening to him for around 3 years, and I LOVE his music :)

Can I face the challenge?Or did I make a mistake erasing ALICE

👍👍👍

So much pain on this song. I love this. I love that he feels the song. I love that the whole time his eyes is closed. I love these sessions. I love this guy.P.s why this censoring; it ruins the song.

People talking about hearing so much “pain” in ed’s voice, personally he looks and sings just like he regularly does. Sure he might’ve not been enthusiastic or even said “cool” or “wicked” at the end like he usually does but he did also say that he wish he didn’t release this song because it’s not a song. It’s really just putting his emotions on paper. So I don’t blame him for being a little serious but he definitely didn’t sound or look any different from what he normally does

I have been loyally used this erection dysfunction treatment “Jαcοb ramguso” (Google it) every night before bed and I feel like I have really awakened my drive again. I just need my spouse often times. It also helped me become more efficient in my plumbing jobs. Whatever they put in here works and I am happy its all natural remedies.

chords someone? for this live performance not the studio version.

This erection dysfunction treatment method “Jαcοb ramguso” (Google it) should be utilized by people who suffer similar problem as well since it can offer instant results. I really find this treatment solution efficient in my case. Gave me a great stamina boost. I have taken it for about three weeks now and there`s a recognizable difference in my performance and blood flow. These positive changes were also noticed by my partner.

One of his dark themed song along with Bloodstream and Don't.. I love this version of Ed..

An amazing performance as usual from ed, but cmon why lower the volume on the fuck. It literally gives the song that punch

3:18 Woahhhhh

I fucking love this song, my favorite from ed. It sucks that it is so underated

im a simple man.. i see sm7b i press like

pure talent

There's so much pain in his voice. He's gone through some hard times. His girlfriend Alice went to the university and he went to London to chase his dreams of making music, to be the musician.

1:55 ahsduahsdu

my favourite!

this song is true writing. compare it to his new album and this just blows it right out of the water. this is why I'm still here in 2017

I mess up when I start rapping :/

Poland miss u so much 💝💝

what Jordans is he wearing ???? plz someone

Maybe Jordan son of mars ;/

Michał Chmielenko hahahah thx but i figured it out xD

+BxEshadow jordan 3 powder blue

I bet the bitch that shitted on him is sitting there and thinking about how fucking stupid she is lol

its about Alice, his ex-girlfriend

MAjkl I'm sure she feels like a dumb dumb now lol

they broke up because of his musical breakthrough? are u fucking stupid

I don't think it is, they broke up back in like 2010 and he said the song One- which he wrote in 2011 and was the very first song he wrote for the album- was the last song he ever wrote about her so I've really always wanted to know who this about

This song is about Alice, he even says her name in this song but it's censored.

I have no idea how he does that! You feel every word. This song is so amazing. One of the best on "X" for sure. He is amazing. Seriously. Can't imagine a life without he's music💕💖

I CAN'T IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT ED'S MUSIC. I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR ED.

I miss you Ed :-(

amazing. I love him

Genius, he's like the Messi of music

YEAH, SURE HE IS.

Except music isn't competetive

Messi is a pecho frio

@iSMAEL? and you are a pelotudo

@iSMAEL? jajjajajjajj hdp

how to I play it like that??

standard tuning, capo on 2, repeat these 4 chords -A Bm Fm G Fm is played slightly differently here i guess (hold 6th string 2nd fret & 3rd string 2nd fret)and G is played without strumming the 1st string

It gets waaaay too emotional when he plays it live. The words are so real.

😍😍😍😍 beautiful

Everyone that says that they can sense his past experiences in this song is just dumb... There is absolutely zero grief in his voice...

@TheBlindnight I'm not saying that there aren't any... Did you really not read a word that I wrote? Look at his face as a 'sad' song ends.

@SantaStolle I did read what you wrote and I don't believe you have ever said anything about feeling emotions, ony "there is zero grief in his voice", make your point clearAnd I don't see what you mean pertaining to his face at the end, I see nothing but him enjoying the music; and again, I wouldn't quite consider this song a "sad" on, but rather a bitter one (though it's not only bitter)

@TheBlindnight I did indeed state that there is zero grief in his voice and I'll explain why as you obviously didn't understand what I meant. One can't possibly convey an original emotion in his voice while stating a set text, therefore there can't by any means be any grief related to his past in his voice. You can watch a fictional movie and weep, but that doesn't make it your pain.

+SantaStolle I'm sorry but I don't think I really understand your point (English is not my first language, maybe there's a bit of that ?); this is not a fictional text, it is a text that he personally wrote, that came to life by merging personal feelings and artistic/poetic writing, so I don't understand how, for you, it's impossible for him to convey any emotion ?

SantaStolle this comment was from a year ago but id like to comment that i believe you can have emotion in your voice? if the song was written from personal experience, in which it was, the song can be song with emotion. and obviously he isn't going to be emotional every time he sings it, but i think in this song, with the lyrics and everything, you can hear some sort of bitterness in his voice. i mean, it's your opinion so i respect that, but i definitely don't think people are dumb for hearing emotion in his voice.

This gives me goosebumps

love this song espacialy in this version its a litte bit more fast <3 love it

Jesus :)

WHY ARE THEY CENSORING THE SWEARS???

They missed the "shit" at 1:56 tho

Is anyone here because of DVG??

+Ryan Cassells Holmes Me o/

can't believe i get criticized for being in love with ed sheeran and his music. just because ojr generation is so obsessed with music about boobs, ass, drugs, sex, and alcohol makes me wrong about loving songs about life and growing up. i will always being entitled to an opinion with ed sheeran in it. too inspiration.

+Pwned Talked dude same. im sick of people lol

thank you

Pwned TalkedBut the thing is that the people who criticise you for liking ed don't even listen to music about tits and sex. They are generally metalhead elitists who have earned the right to criticise your choice of music as they provide valid arguments against it. Now, i love ed sheeran and idk if people give valid reasons to you, but if they do, then you should state points,musicality wise, theory wise, the lyricism and technicality wise to prove yourself

Is he amazing or what? Anyone who says "or what" can go to hell.

or what

Haha poking the bear

When he sings he seems to almost fall off of the beat he is playing.

lo adoro!

What mic is that?

+Lucas Puskaric shure sm7b

THIS IS FRICKING AMAZING. HIS VOICE.

this guy can write. REALLY WELL. and his voice is amazing as well.

He messed up and was like shit

I doubt he messed up; Im quite sure it was supposed to say that. He usually adds in 'shit' in his live recordings or what not, but not on the album.

omg, this accoustic record is just perfect.

Ed is my idol he is my number one song writer. He is amazing.

Lo veo como si finalmente dice adiós a alice. Lo veo como una canción q nos explica mas sobre eso. Y es como: ya no te amo

WHY IS HE SO SO SO SO AMAZING OH MY WORD I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF ED... Been of fan of his for like 4 years and he's just SO PERFECT.

I love him so muchhhhhh

He's da best ever

Damn Ed. Please teach me your ways. I don't care how long it takes. I just want to be as good as you or something close :(

He puts so much emotion in his voice. My dream is to be like him, no matter how unlikely it is. He is my idol and I would give anything to meet him

Did anyone notice him sort of cry at the end....

this is my favorite song

His live performances never fail to amaze.

Now I don't wanna hate youJust wish you'd never gone for the manAnd waited just a couple weeks Before you let him take youI stayed trueI kind of knew you liked the dude from private schoolHe's waiting for the time to moveI knew he had his eyes on youHe's not the right guy for youDon't hate me cause I write the truthNo I would never lie to youBut it was never fine to lose youAnd what a way to find outIt never came from my mouthYou never changed your mindBut you were just afraid to mind outBut fuck it, I won't be changing the subject I love itI'll make your little secret public it's nothingI'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at meTrapped and I'm lacking sleepFact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casuallyYou're practically my familyIf we married then I'll guess you'd have to beBut tragically our love just lost the will to liveBut would I kill to give it one more shotCauseI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't want you noAnymoreI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't wanna love you noAnymoreRecently I tend to zone outUp in my headphones to HoloceneYou promised your body but I'm away so muchI stay more celibate than in a monasteryI'm not cut out for life on the roadAs I didn't know I'd miss you this muchAnd at the time we'd just go, so sue meI guess I'm not the man that you needEver since you went to uniI've been sofa surfing with a rucksackFull of less cash and I guess that could get badBut when I broke the industryThat's when I broke your heartI was supposed to chart and celebrateBut good things are over fastI know it's hard to deal with and see thisI tend to turn you off and switch on my professional featuresThen I turn the music offAnd all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, JesusI never really want to believe thisGot advice from my dad and heTold me that family is all I'll ever have and needI guess I'm unaware of itSuccess is nothing if you have no one there left to share it withSh*tI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't want you noAnymoreI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't wanna love you noAnymoreAnd since you left, I've given up my days offIt's what I need to stay strongI know you have a day job but mine is 24/7I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hookCause I still love you and I need you by my side if I couldThe irony is if my career and music didn't existIn 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kidI'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drinkAnd lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it'sJust hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to killAnd I'd be writing my will before I'm 27, I'll die from a thrillGo down in history as just a wasted talentCan I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing?It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of meEventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to beEither way I guess I can't complain , but I'll say thisThese things happen for a reason and you can't change shitTake my apology, I'm sorry for the honestyBut I had to get this off my chestI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't want you noAnymoreI don't love you babyI don't need you babyI don't wanna love you noAnymore

Thanks.

rapping along

i think that ed sheeran is amazing!! but he does get drunk quite alot

Amazing.

I did an acoustic cover of this song in my channel. Only just starting out so take it easy! but would greatly appreciate it if you had a look and told me what you think. Cheers! 

Love his reference to the "27 club"

I wish he had this much emotion on the studio versions of his songs, they're not terrible they just lack the emotion and energy he has live.

+MrSamuel539 I'd say Give Me Love is an exception, though. :-)

+K Sera don't really like that song, but yeah I agree

he is really feeling the lyrics. he means them ! .

This is a beautiful song, he sings with such emotion. Definitely one of the best in the album.

Did he drop a Bon Iver reference?!?! 😳

Any body that says Ed aint the most talented singer/songwriter of this generation is crazy! I made it a goal to look for anything he's done that I didn't like n it can't be done.

I didn't even waste time replying to that one bro lmao

+Tyga Walker he's not like eminem, eminem only does rap, Ed does much more. Not to say eminem isn't talented. Because he is very talented.

+jimmyp410 He is definitely the most talented singer/songwriter of this generation!!! This is a great hip hop song, at the level of the best hip hop singers...And he's not an hip hop singer!! He can do everything he wants.

+Tyga Walker stupid, stupid stupid stupid stupid oh and I forgot: Stupid!!!

Well ur presedent know! MAKE THE WORLD NOW ED !!

The part at the end of the second verse when he said "Success is nothing unless you have someone there to share it with, shit" was kind of heart breaking :(

Hannah Cole it’s so true tho. Sad to say I know exactly what he’s talking about

hes not a rapper stop saying rapper. it works its good. keep going ed. honestly who would put thumbs down?

I hear so much pain and anger in his vocals and lyrics. So powerful and understandable

+I Shot Your Pet Bee i know right!!

I knew i heard him say shit have "success is nothing unless you some one to share it with"

Because he messes up. He missed a bridge towards the chorus like on the record.

@I Shot Your Pet Bee actually he didn't mess up. He just felt the emotion in the song yeah

@Michael Tan Yeh is realised after I said it. Yes playing "take it back" on guitar and i didnt realise

When I first listened to this song (studio version) I immediately fell in love with it.. I could not stop singing it.. all of my friends learned the words because I could not stop singing it even when I was with them. Then I saw this video and I cannot even describe how I feel about it .. it's just pure perfection.. the way he sings with all this passiin the way he plays the guitar.. he is just amazing... I've been listening to his music for like two and a half years or so and I'm literally in love with him..!

Raps like professor green

My absolute favorite song on X

i didnt hear it when i listened to the studio version, but this is kind of heartbreaking. so much, that i dont even feel like singing along, just listen to his voice.

Yeah it's one his tracks where you just sit there and listen to what he's saying rather than go along with it. It's probably because he's rapping instead of singing

@thedarkknight646 not because he's rapping, but because it's so sincere. this performance, in itself, is so sincere that it feels wrong to sing/rap along

Anyone wandering what talent is........you just watched it it
