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
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.....
Legend says that he's still in that Studio adding lyrics to the song.
LMAO
@@PR4QU3ISS0 I'd hope so
🤣🤣👌👌
Hahaha 😂
That’s good
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😍
“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
@@71hammyman is he??i missed this???surely a ginger cant be racist 🤣🤣😭
Wtf @Alex
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
“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 ..
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
THIS. THIS IS THE ONE
Yes, 2022 and still vibing to this. Best performance, EVER
THISSSSSS
AGREE! This and Give Me Love from this same acoustic set are everything!
Same
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
czcams.com/video/hC8CH0Z3L54/video.html
Seriously one of his best performances in my opinion! Deserves way more views! Such talent.
+Frankie Chumber Truth
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!
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
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😅!
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 😂
Artistic Me He needs to go on Fire In The Booth
I can and have watched this video 100 times and am still as amazed as I was the first time I watched it.
Dude I've actually seen your videos! Lol and you're commenting on this! That's awesome I've never just come across that before
Sam, that is just cool! GOOD LUCK!!!
This guy is on american idol '13 right? Awesome!
Same here!
Saaaame!! No lie
When you realize how many artists' famous pop songs were written by Ed, this song be hitting different.
which songs?
@@DivyenduKashyap www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/songs-ed-sheeran-wrote-for-other-musicians-1960647
@@DivyenduKashyap many of them, one for example - love yourself by justin bieber. Ed wrote this song
@@DivyenduKashyap one direction little things
@@DivyenduKashyap A couple songs for Why Don't We as well.
My boy Ed stood there and tuned that poor guitar, just to turn around and light it on fire 30 seconds later. RIP.
At least it sounded great 😂
Dude thats a Martin, hella expensive tbh.
Okay had to read your comment again to realize what you mean. Have a great day sir 💪🤝
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.
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
When someone says that Ed is overrated, show him/her this. Literally flabbergasted
As a guitarist who has been playing for 35 years this is so entertaining such a unique style and his metronome timing is perfect
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
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.
If you have these lyrics please let me know :D

+Hey you're a legend
Go for it man!
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.
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.
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
No autotune. No production. No tweaks.
Just raw talent, a guitar & loopstation.
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
Oh shit guys, he has reverb on his mic
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:
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
Can we have a moment of silence for his guitar strings
I love your pfp 😭
this is such a fucking eargasm
That’s so true...
"Ed, whenever you're ready, sir."
- "..Thanks man."
The two sentences that changed my life.
ANTI V15T What about the rest of the song?
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
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 CZcams 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

He closed Manchester with this last night... still obviously got the passion for playing it and it was awesome.
"I make shit happen. Call me a laxative."

*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
Still the best era of Ed in my opinion. Pure raw talent, no editing - so freakin good
Pure raw talent 😂
When someone says Ed Sheeran is overated show them this.
"I make shit happen, call me a laxative"
Ed sheeran everybody
+Pleun Stork I smile each time I hear that part and I've watched this over twenty times already
we're cumming up like we're fucking in an elevator!!! XD
+David Tayler they say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator*
Eva van Merrienboer Uh... Yeah... that, haha
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 :)
post those or message me them please? i get tripped up on a few places :b

Lyrics please?
kermuh delery-demendis this link is broken :/
I love how he just walks off like that wasn't one of the greatest live performances of all time.
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.
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.
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 ❤️
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.
@@henrybensco7510 it's on his official channel
Wow. This masterpiece is 10 years old... I remember randomly finding it on CZcams. To this day it's one of my favs by Ed.
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!
*Spits 10 minutes of straight fire*
"Cool"
This Ed Sheeran was dangerous🔥🔥🔥
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
and just walks off like he didn't see brains blowing up everywhere
"cool"
That's what makes Ed the fucking best
Yeah...
let me just walk off saying "Cool" and ignoring the blowing minds and jaw dropped mouths after giving an 11 min performance for a single song...
Sure,
"Cool"
'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😂
This session created a spark for millions of artists and performers.
Just imagine having a jam-session in a dingy basement with this version of Ed Sheeran, any musician's dream...
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".
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
he sings, he rap, he beat box, he loop, he play all that instrument by himself, yeah that's Ed!
pop girls stans always hate Ed say he just stands there on stage with a guitar doing nothing, where their pop girls sing & dance... and often use playback and lip-sync lol
@Veronica M facts. I’ll take Ed’s voice and guitar over that any day 😂
@@veronicam2935 and my facts are, I am a girl, I love how Ed perform his singing on stage also because I love any 'acoustic guitar performance' especially when they brought it out interestingly, and I find his voice kinda sexy to my ears, lol
"They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking on an elevator" Pure genius
so this is what heaven sounds like
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
Time flew so quickly.This was the first ever song that introduced me to Ed, was in grade 8 back then now I'm a high school senior. Chanting off " You need me man, I don't need you" during those times I still find myself spending hours looping on this record. CRAZY
I‘m still addicted to it 😂
Listen to grade 8 by Ed Sheeran
And I love how he gives it all for 11 minutes, then just say "cool" and leaves the room like its nothing LOL
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...
I absolutely loved the 50cent "In Da Club" reference (3:54 to 4:11). The transition was seamless and amazing.
This video absolutely changed my life and inspired me to pursue my music career. I'm now a songwriter and artist in Nashville - thank you Ed!
Ok
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 :)
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

"Cool" *casually leaves*
'Replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift, into another rappers 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' ........That right there has to be the hardest bar 'an English rapper' has ever come out with, the syllables and use of them is so technica, only ED could come up with that!
10 years later, this still hits so hard
LYRICS WITH TIMECODE
[1:23]
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
Oh oh
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
‘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
[2:16]
I sing and write my own tune and I write my own verse
Hell, don't need another word-smith to make my tune sell
Call yourself a singer-writer - you’re just bluffing
Your 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
And 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 Gabriella Cilmi’
‘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
[3:08]
And all I want in this cold world is to make music
And use it not to abuse it
And get infected then facted with the who’s who of music
Who did it, who is it, who’s in it
Who’s what the hell does it matter chitter chatter don’t matter with the yidi yidi yada
Don’t matter to me all I want is a bit of dignity
Hear me to battle this industry
Freely to be me in this CD 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
I’m aimed for the stars
Kept my grind in the dark
[3:31]
Then they came with the remedy kicking rhymes with the melody
Hennessey shots and all these fools on the block
Who said you’ve got to be a gangster now to raise 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 at the side
Open your eyes and take a look and realise
The resurrection’s arrived
And as the mist clears
I arise from my tomb in the skies
All alone Alonestar
Urban angel rising from the ashes surprising
No haters, guiding no moving
I’m steady 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, 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
Uh huh, uh huh hooooo
Uh huh, uh huh
Cos 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
[5:00]
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 of your high grade
My eyes are red
I’ve been burning, I’ve been burning, burning, burning
Now where I come from burning weed it is a ‘abit
A big fat bag of high grade weed you know I got to have it
Cause if i dont have it in my pocket i’m going to panic
Cause like i said where i come from weed smoking is a habit
We'll do da bun in da place up in the hood
One of the tings i have inherited like a ghetto man should
One of dem tings i 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 bout sensimilla is a drug
And if I start to smoke it i’ma-nna turn into a thug.
Where I come from that they talking could that only get ya mug.
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 it afta 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.
Now my eyes are red
Cos you need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me - My eye are red
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me - My eye are red
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me - My eye are red
You need me, man, I don’t need you
You need me, man, I don’t need you
woh ooh oh
woh ooh oh
[8:54]
'Cause with the lyrics I’ll be aiming it right
I won’t stop 'til my name's in lights
At stadium heights with Damien Rice
On red carpets, now I’m on Arabian Nights
Because I’m young I know my brother's 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 vo5 wax for my ginger hair
So now I’m back to the sofa, giving a dose of what the future holds
'Cause it’s another day
Rucksack with the old clothes, I rap with cold flows
I'm back with the old jokes, in fact you dont know
On tracks I throw blows to make my punch lines relevant
If you can't keep up you'll get none, you're celibate
My flows developing, skin lacks the melonin
Give me shot of adrenaline and I get it in
I do it for the hell of it
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 and then I packaged the image
Put in some content and I 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 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
Hand bars sharp like cactus is
Im back to rap and back to back
Cause I've been practicing, I'm back to sing this
You need me man I dont need you
You need me man I dont need you
You need me man I dont need you at all
You need me man I dont need you
You need me man I dont need you
You need me man I dont need you
You need me man I dont need you at all
You need me'
[10:17]
I'll keep my last name forever keep the genre pretty basic
Gonna 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's shoes using new laces
I'm selling CDs from my rucksack aiming for the papers
Selling CDs 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 CZcams 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 .
'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, I don’t need you
LOVE U whoever u r
thankks!! now i can practisee! :P
You my friend are a legend
All hail Andrea
im back with the *old joke
THE WAY ED BANGS HIS GUITAR!!!!!!! OMG LUCKY GUITAR!!
+Sue Mars Can i be jealous of a guitar?? XD
+Paulitaa_garcia i've been jealous of tori amos' piano and the way she makes love to it for years
Imagine being in the booth and witnessing greatness like this?
this video made me not hate ed sheeran. i retract all previous mean statements about this man.
"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!! 👊
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 .
This was 9 years ago?! Man, I've been rewatching this for a long time!
25 years old now and remember playing this to my music appreciation class for a project I had done on him freshman year before seeing him live for one of his first US tours.. needless to say no one knew but everyone was blown away even the teach boi.. remember the days I preached and people said no way.. here we are now! If you knew you knew ♡
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
Gives the most insane performance ever.
"cool." walks away. This man is amazing
Ed sheeran is the grestest singer songwriter we will ever witness everything is him most people try to copy and imitate him but they cant even come close even wrote a lot of songs for some of the great artists
This is the real Ed Sheeran !!
*ed pulls off epic performance*
*Me: jaw dropped*
ed: cool
*walks away like nothing happened*
ikr
He's a legend after all
'you only have 11 minutes and 24 seconds to live:'
me:
You need 5 more secon to go to youtube
And about 7 more to reseach this
And maybe 5s more to skip the ad
Don't no about you but you miss 17s of your life and miss the song's ending 👍
@@gugy8708 wow. LOL
That's an oddly specific time that you'd have to live
Need an extra 5 mins for take it back!
This guy can mix/mould/create any music or genre into a piece of art, and appeals to people of any age/background because of it. What separates him to other artists these days is his ability to write and perform/create original content. I saw him live in 2011 for £10, one of the first gigs I’d been too and over a decade later still the most memorable, he had full grown people of all races/creeds/backgrounds in tears and in stunned silence as he sung to a couple of thousand to us live without a microphone, that sort of talent is almost unmatched in the history of modern music.
"They say I'm up and coming like an elevator" this man's talent is unreal!! And he's a ginger!
"I make shit happen' call me a laxative" best line ever 10/10
"Im not a rapper, im just a singer with the flow"
“I’ve got a habit of spittin quicker lyrics you know”
@@maxthompson3739 "You found me ripping the writtens out of the pages they sit in"
@@AGCassie2 "I never want to get bitten cause plagiarism is hidden watch how I sit on the rhythm"
“Prisoner with a vision signed to a label but didn’t listen to any criticism”
@@aiksmusic9945 "thought you knew but you didn't, so perk your ears up and listen"
10 years on this is still and always will be, an absolute masterpiece
And THAT ladies and gentlemen is TALENT (Not that this is news)
11 minutes for a single song. Just normal with Ed Sheeran lol
i got a version of this and that's 20 minutes! this is just nothing.😂
link the video please!
Benedict Payot hahaha true😂
Benedict Payot Well, you also get that with guns n' roses
Benedict Payot he mixed in some other 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
Probably the single greatest live performance on CZcams to date...
I honestly as a 44 year old man brought up with great music consider this to be in the top 10 songs of all time!
Ed sheeran to the rest of the band - you need me man I don't need you
underrated comment LMAO FAX
LoL😂😂😂 so right
What band?
Ed sheeran was in the band one direction
This made me laugh
I am kind of in love with this.
ed singing 50's verse is crazy 🖤🤍
Holy sh*t he can rap as well?! He really can do it all. What a blessing to watch this man perform
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 ! :)
"Call yourself a singer-writer, you’re just bluffing
Your name’s on the credits and you didn’t write nothing"
rekt
Totally xD
double negative
+pinktulip It's very common in songwriting.
Powerfooltacos yes i know i just found it funny that what he actually said was the opposite to the message he needed to get across
I was 12 when this came out and I was shocked at how good he was. It hit me that this is what "Artist" really means.
"I can't last if I'm smok'n on a crack pipe!" Priceless
