just an amazing artist!!!
TeamDoug TWD Carley actually helped survive. You stood there like a dingo & got yourself eaten.
TeamDoug TWD Ben died anyway, so helping someone live for a few more days wasn't really worth it, in my opinion. xD
I remember how innocent this song was to me when i was maybe 10. But now... it makes me sad...
U must be 17 years old lol
@@ahmadkanaan8401 Nope i listened to this song in 2014 so i'm just 13 years old.

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

This is life 😔💔..... the life is trip

The sad thing about this song is that it is a reality for many people
Including my own mom, you’d think she could change for her daughter
@@miaosov Feel you bro
Why did i say bro? XD
Feel u sis
sam569 she verbally abused me for years and would hit me when I told my dad I caught her popping pills. And when she left us (my sister at the time was an infant) she told me to forget her. She cheated on my dad when he wouldn’t supply her addiction. I have every right to be pissed
24 hours sober for the first time in 4 years. wish me luck
Prayers for you!🙏
Hey man hope you are still doing well i am just over a 1000 days. I hope youve managed to fight your demons.
Hey I relapsed after 5 days but I'm trying again

Angel was a real person Ed knew when he was doing small gigs.
Yes ❤❤❤❤truth.
once a wise man said, "when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics"
i always used to sing this as a kid not understanding it at all now i feel every word.
@@sarahgray8723 time & experience is the best teacher. hope you're doing well. ☺️
Drug addiction is hard to kick!! Some people just don't have the heart or mind to give up
maturity brakes the kind hearted
I've been hearing this song, but only now that im really so eager to try to understand each lines.. it made me feel sad for the character behind this song.🖤
It's 2017 and I'm still crying
Fiory Gonza same😭😭
Fiory Gonza me too
Fiory Gonza yeah me too.
😭
Me too
who else didn't understand the lyrics till they got older?
I already was older, and got it quick. Promise gone, a heartbreak still. He was at Boston Calling (music fest) this weekend. I'm in Mass., couldn't go, but I hope he did this song, it's still critical.
Yep
My daughter passed away from a drug overdose on June 27, 2023. Sadly, this song describes the final years of her life. Finally, my baby girl is at peace now.
May you rest in peace my only child, my sweet Vanessa.
It's too cold outside for angels to fly
I am so sorry for your loss. I hear and feel you, even if I sit miles away in Austria.
I'm so sorry 🥺💔
I am so sorry for your loss, may her soul rest in peace
I am sorry for your loss I hope you heal quickly. May your angel fly high
❤
When this song came out I was in the middle of a ten year heroin addiction. I remember sitting in jail & watching this music videos & all the addicts would sit around & sing it together. It made us feel like we mattered & that we weren’t just human beings to be thrown away.
It was a long hard road & even now I still struggle but I’ve been clean for over 3 years & counting…. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me to be grateful for the life I have now & helps me realize how lucky I am to have made it through to the other side.
Anyone struggling with addiction, you are NOT alone & even tho it may seem hopeless. I promise it’s possible to be happy & sober. Even if it takes a million tries. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOURSELF. Your life is worth something. You are worth something(:
Nice words and I agree.
Thank you for typing this.
Wow.
Congrats on your sobriety and encouraging others Sis!
I met an escort several years ago and we became somewhat close friends in addition to our other "relationship." She was 30 and I was 46; she was so intelligent and had a wicked sense of humor in addition to being just gorgeous. Over the next 2-3 years, I would see her 5-6 times a year but we also kept in touch via text. Little did I know she had a drug habit (heroin) until she dropped off the radar for a few months (got arrested) and then texted me out of the blue several months later. We caught up via text over a couple of days and she finally came clean with me that she had a nine year heroin habit. I was devastated - cried hard that night for how messed up her life was. She lived in a different state/city and needed a place to crash for awhile, so I invited her to come live with me. I had never heard of Ed Sheeran prior to meeting her but on one of our road trips, she played this song - I didn't catch all the lyrics but later that night while she was in the shower, I looked up the lyrics and watched this video. I cried hard. Again. Sobbed. Swore I would do whatever I could to help her get her life back on track. She no longer lives with me but she's recently made great strides in kicking her habit and I'm still helping support her at the moment. I will forever remember her when I hear this song and it's hard to listen to it without tears flowing. I never told her this but I love that girl. UPDATE: June 24 2020. Well this has run on longer than I ever expected. Many have asked for updates over the past three and a half years and I’ve done so in the comments below, but it appears many who have left comments aren’t reading the entire thread to see the updates. So I’m editing and updating the original comment now. I posted the original comment over three years ago, really didn’t think it would see this much traction and reaction. At the time, I lived about 11 hours away from her, four states away. For those still commenting that I should tell her I love her, I have and did. Not too long after the original post. We stayed in touch and she even came to visit me for extended trips on 2 or 3 other occasions. I also continued to see her where she lives whenever I could. It has been up and down. Lots of good times, lots of tears. She’s made many attempts to get clean and sober but unfortunately has not been able to stay that way. I recently relocated much closer to her and am now only about two hours away. We’ve fought and loved, forgiven each other for various problems. It still isn’t what I want it to be and in fact, right now, I have decided to step away for a break. We have a number of things to resolve and her addiction is at the center of most of it. But I still love her and have come to believe that she loves me as well. Yes, she needs some professional help to resolve her addiction. There are other complicating and legal factors that make that difficult right now. But she knows that I want to see her clean and sober in the end, regardless of where our relationship goes. I just want to say several things to people who are commenting. 1) The overwhelming majority of you have been so positive and supportive and I can’t tell you how much that has meant to me. Several times when I have been close to giving up, some of the encouraging comments on here have convinced me to keep going and keep trying. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You have all made me realize that there are really good, decent people in the world. 2) To those who just want to fling insults at me or at her, fuck off. Grow up. 3) To those who question whether I’m doing the right things by helping her out (aka enabling), yes I understand your point. Some have suggested she just needs tough love and to walk away, force her to face her issues and resolve them. That approach works for some, but not all. Her entire family, parents and siblings have turned their backs on her, ie, tough love. It didn’t work. There has to be a better approach, or a more muted approach than that while understanding that the ultimate goal is her overcoming her addiction. Finally, I am not a saint. I appreciate the nice comments and all, but I’ve made my share of mistakes and missteps in this situation. I’m not trying to boost myself or pat myself on the back. I’m just a man who loves a woman and who wants to see her succeed and overcome her obstacles. Much love to all. UPDATE: September 12 2020: My friend was arrested earlier this week; she was a passenger in a car involved in a minor traffic accident but thankfully wasn’t hurt. However, when the police arrived, they ran her name and it came back she was wanted on an old warrant for failure to appear (which I knew about). The good news is, she had been clean for about three weeks and I believe, on a good path to really getting sober. The bad news is she’s now in custody and I don’t know what the outcome will be at this moment. I hired her an attorney and he’s trying to get her bonded out and also thinks that she will be able to get into a diversionary/rehab program with the state to avoid serious jail or prison time. So I guess the good news there is she’s been forced to face her legal issues and should be able to stay off heroin while she’s locked up. Also good news is she’s safe. I really feel like this is the rock bottom, wake up call that will perhaps lead her to sobriety. Thank you again for all the love and support. I’ll post more as the developments warrant. Much love. UPDATE NOV 15 2020: So she was in jail from Sept 8 to Oct 8. I got her an attorney who was able to get a bond hearing and I was able to bond her out. The next day I helped her pack her stuff and she’s been living with me ever since. She’s had one court appearance but has another scheduled for late November. She’s facing 2 plus years incarceration but we’re hoping for probation and rehab/therapy. Good thoughts and vibes are appreciated, will update again in a couple of weeks. ❤️ UPDATE December 10, 2020: She was sentenced to 6 months in county jail and 3 years probation but got credit for 3 months time served already. Not what we had hoped for but far less than what it could have been. We talk on the phone daily and she sounds truly committed to sobriety when she gets out. She will come to live with me and we will start our journey together 🤞. I’m happier than I have been in a long time and truly excited for the future, although I know there is a lot of hard work ahead. But I love her still, even more than before. Thank you to all who have been so supportive, it has meant more than I can tell you! Hug your loved ones, be kind and during this holiday season, look to be a friend to someone in need. Much love to all. ❤️ UPDATE: JAN 12 2021: She’s home! She was released after 45 days served. I’m ecstatic. She seems really locked in to staying sober and clean. Lots of work ahead to make that possible but I’m just over the moon excited for her - and our - future! Thank you again for all the love and support! You guys are just wonderful!! Much love ❤️. Update August 13 2021: After a really hard few months after she got out of jail, she finally agreed to go to a doctor and start a Suboxone treatment, something I had wanted her to do for years but would never agree to do. Suboxone helps deal with the physical symptoms of withdrawal and helps keep her physically centered. She’s been on it for about 2 months now and the change has been amazing. She’s been doing much better and starting to get engaged in daily living like never before. All was going really well. And then….. this song below is the only way to explain what has happened. I’m crushed. Heartbroken. Thank you to all of you who have been supportive and shown the love you have for her and for me. Unfortunately this appears to be the end of our story. The song is Amos Lee, “Chill in the Air”.
FINAL UPDATE (March 31 2024): For those wondering, we broke up in August 2021. I’m not going into the details but in spite of the challenges, she remained living with me simply because she had nowhere else to go; and I refused to put her out on the street. She slowly made progress in staying sober via suboxone but did have several relapses over the next two years. Unfortunately the last relapse cost her her life and she passed away last August (2023). It’s been hard adjusting to her not being here but at least her struggles are over and she is at rest. Thank you for all the kind words and support the last seven years. If you are an addict, please get help. And if you love an addict, please don’t give up but know that you cannot make someone recover or even want to recover. Love to all.
Awww this is so beautiful!
aw your comment made me tear up. Bless your soul for what you're doing
Wow...that's amazing. You need to tell her or you will forever regret it.
Amazing story, I do hope she makes it for kicking that habit is so very difficult. She needs people around that love and support her and believe in her. Even than it stays a struggle for the rest of her life. And you Sir must be a very special person with a wonderful spirit, I was so touched reading your comment, I wish you all the love you dream of, because you deserve it.
😭😭
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
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 🦎♟️
Crazy to think he used to sing at my pub, now look at him
Are you serious?
wyguypro yes
RiversideMedia, Visual effects omg i wish i went to ur pub back then wherever the fuck your pub is
how old was he back then ? I suggest around 18 maybe ?
Why are you mad?
I can't believe this song is 10 years old. Time flies by.
Same here.
Same
SAME
this song is Immortal..
Ryann iV and still nothing changes
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.
This was 13 years ago and it's one of the first songs I learned on guitar. Shared it with a great number of young women. Just hearing it takes me back
Shape of you is nothing compared to this masterpiece tbh
Agree. Shape of you is extremely overrated.
@@jimhalpert9803 not overrated just not this iconic
I agree with you shape of you 5B viewes wow
Agree as well. This is his best song in my opinion. You’d think artists would produce better songs over time, but nothing he’s done since compares to this.
this is absolute facts
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

Hey Ed, I’m struggling with depression and this song really helps, I cry practically every time I listen to it. Thank you
My advice would be to listen too positive happy music.dont get stuck in a rutt listening to sad songs it'll only make shit worse.find out what triggers it and try to avoid those triggers.also smile 😃 and get out in the sun when you can and go to the park or beach whatevers near you.
Alcohol is a no no and talk to the people around you about the issues...the more people understand you the better they can help..ive been there and it can get very dark and tuff at times but it gets better if you make it happen k.
Positive quotes around ya room helps and brighter colors.dont ever be scared to talk to the people around you it can be hard but its worth it if you have the right friends.
Life is beautiful so dont waste it hiding away have a nice day and i hope you get thru this.
Give this uplifting song a listen. czcams.com/video/sWa5vE4MUpU/video.html Hope you feel a little bit better then!
@@kirkogier1145Sad songs actually help my depression a lot of the time. When you have depression (at least for me) happy songs almost make it worse and make me angry or annoyed. Sad songs actually make me feel kind of better or at least help me get through the hard times. Maybe thats not for everyone but everyone I know with depression (especially deep/severe depression but all levels as well) sad and/or slow and/or sensitive and/or sentimental and/or melancholy music helps with their depression far more than “happy” music. Happy music almost feels disgusting and repulsive when you have actual depression. When you have actual depression you cant just play a “happy song” and feel better or have it help you or prefer to listen to that. Its not how you feel, it wont change how you feel, its not the mood you’re in, etc etc etc. Thats why sad music actually helps, thats why most prefer sad music, thats why most people will watch or listen to melancholy things. If I’m actually depressed and I hear the song “Happy” by Pharrell playing, that makes me want to pew pew myself more than anything and hearing a song like that enrages me more than anything. Not to mention it just reminds me how happy others are and what a great happy life other people are living and how I’m not. How it feels impossible to be happy like these people who like this “happy” song. How far away I am from liking a song like this or how far away I am from feeling happy like this. How its not even pleasing to listen to or think about. I would compare it to the hell of social media where people just post all the great things in their lives and how “amazing and happy” they (pretend) claim their lives to be. Which only causes depression in others (which has clearly been proven). Not to mention I also feel fake listening to a song like “Happy” by Pharrell especially when I’m depressed. So long story short, I think you’re completely wrong (at least for most people) and you dont really understand most people with depression. Giving me the idea you haven’t really dealt with depression (which is a good thing and I’m jealous and hope you never have to deal with it and I wish you the best) and that maybe you’ve studied psychology or something and trying to give advice off of something you were taught or read in book as opposed to experience and actually having the problem yourself. Either way, you’re only trying to help and you’re intentions are good so thank you for your opinion/advice no matter what or even if I disagree

So long story short, I think you’re completely wrong (at least for most people) and you dont really understand most people with depression. Giving me the idea you haven’t really dealt with depression (which is a good thing and I’m jealous and hope you never have to deal with it and I wish you the best) and that maybe you’ve studied psychology or something and trying to give advice off of something you were taught or read in book as opposed to experience and actually having the problem yourself. Either way, you’re only trying to help and you’re intentions are good so thank you for your opinion/advice no matter what or even if I disagree
My brother died from an drug overdose and I've been sober for two years don't want the same thing happening to me may you rest in peace bruv ❤
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 was really young and innocent when this came out and shocked at what the meaning was as you grew older
Same here. I first heard this song when I was around 6. Now I’m 16 time flies
Guitars & gerbils when you graduate high school and already are in your second year of college that’s when you know time really flies
Yeah same
im young but not exactly inocent... i know when they say shes in the "a team" it doesnt mean shes good at sport..
I heard this song when i was 4...we never knew, huh?
Who’s here in 2024

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. :)
The lines " The worst things in life comes free to us. " made my day :D

Dr. Puggins It means that effort has to be used for good things, but the bad things rewuire no effort.
Frosty Potter U were right all along.
Why though. Its a bad thing not a good thing
Five years sober from drugs for me. I used to listen to this song a lot hoping I would beat it and I did! Never give up hope there’s always light at the end of the tunnel 😊
6 weeks tomorrow for me bro after 20 years,never touch that bollocks again
This song is for my sister who lives this life. I am 6 years clean and hope she finds inner peace someday. They say you still have a chance if you have a heartbeat ! Never lose hope 🙏 ❤

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

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
@@livfarr2517 how do u kno?
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

I understand this a lot better than I did 6 years ago 😅 it's sadder too…
not impressive

Yeah, I was 8 and just thought it was a nice song but now I'm just a wreck of emmotions when I hear it.
"Sells love to another man."-Ed Sheeran. That's a good one.
Still struggling after 25yrs of addiction, this songs so so familiar to my life, kills me!!!!
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

I can't believe that 13 years past by so fast. I've grown up, married, have a kid and yet I have a feeling that it was only couple years ago, when I was listening to this song on repeat sitting all alone in my room. Life is so fast lads.
Anybody just reflect on life and themselves and listen to sad music late at night?
All the time.
Thats me rn no joke XD
me right now
Exactly xD
Hamza Farah oh no not at all thanks for worrying tho :)
I remember when this was Ed's most popular song.
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.
I’m sat down listening to a really nostalgic song and notice that this was made 13 years ago… it makes me so sad to see that it isn’t played on the radio anymore it’s such a good song
I heard this song play on radio,I had to record and share on my WhatsApp.
Took me back to days I listened to it almost on a daily, close to 10 years ago. Only today did I realize it's by Ed Sheeran.
I love it.
I ran away from home when I was 18,ran away from abuse and pain. I was a kid full of dreams and ideas and reality crushed a lot of them. I lived in the streets for almost a year,by myself. Whenever I hear this song it reminds me how I made the best possible step for my own future. It used to make me cry my eyes out and now I feel proud of myself..

@@valekm paaaa0
I'm watching this in your thirsty for likes. That's the year
March 2021
I miss the old MVs where everything is just raw and pure and heartfelt scenarios. I kinda find this song sooo sad, depressing, and somewhat healing, and it makes me wonder, how many angels out there before who once was a super it-girl or it-boy on their glorious days now fell into The A-Team. And how many, who've gone lost, now back on the track to keep fighting, to keep living the life they have only a one shot to enjoy. This is the first time I watched The A-Team vid after listening to it for so many years, and my conclusion is right, I found people who got lost just like me (not in a material addiction way, but in memories of the past that keeps hauting me) they're sad but beautiful. Sadness and happiness, i thnk, are all beautiful.
Song hits on so many levels 😢❤
Ed Sheeran wrote this song when he met a girl named Angel at a Christmas gig for the homeless charity- crisis. He wrote this song based on her story.
EDIT: MUM IM FAMOUS JHABSHAJ
Christmas 2009
ahhhh its a 222 and i really dont wanna mess it up
yeah then she died
@@nise8531 Give Me Love isnt about the same girl, and Angel from The A Team didn't die.
She commit suicide I think
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.
i used to love this song as a child it gave me comfort. now i'm 17 and it gives me a diffrent type of comfort, every single lyric of this song is how my life is and how i feel this song is so deep. this is very much how it feels when you have been homeless for a few years and have no one.
Hello
❤
As a always forever recovering opiate addict, I absolutely love this song. It's so beautiful and sad. 14 years clean! So happy and crying eveytime this plays. You'll never read this, but Ed, you helped me be happy and clean. Thank you, I only hope that since we aren't homeless anymore, I can one day afford to go a concert. I'm a Russian American, so the motherland hits so hard, especially with what's happening now.
Am I alone to cry ?Thanks for all the answers, they are so cute :)

Im losing the will to live.
There is a reason this song has as many views as it does. We all struggle. Whatever it is you’re struggling with. Know you can share it. Nobody is perfect and meant to feel okay all the time. Being not okay is completely okay. Let yourself cry and mourn and be upset but just know that you are here FOR A REASON. YOU HAVE A DESTINY. GOOD PLANS ARE MADE FOR YOU. NOT PLANS TO HURT YOU. PLANS TO HEAL YOU. If anyone finds themselves reading this. You deserve the world. You deserve happiness you deserve everything that’s pure in your heart. You are so loved ❤
To everyone reading this, May God remove your pain, worries, problems, and replace them with a good health, happiness and peace.
Same to you my darling 💕

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.
everytime I hear this song the emotions just hits me like a truck

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?

Touching story within a great song. Ed Sheeran has a wonderful voice.
The actress in A Team (Selina MacDonald) is SO great...I just found her in another beautiful music video called "He Has Changed" by Fire Tiger.
Bianca Bella So glad I saw your comment and watched her new video! Amazing song and performance by Selina!!
Thanks for suggesting "He Has Changed", Bianca Bella. The video is indeed beautiful. Sort of like an old movie. The song is also very nice. Selina gives a great performance.

Saw him in concert in July. Magic pure magic. Luv u Dolly
It's so crazy how such a beautiful song can have a SAD story behind it.
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

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

Keep getting better darling. Praying you all the courage and strength you need. Warm hugs.
