    Ed Sheeran makes me angry because it's very clear that he's got some talent in him and he just refuses to use it because the lifeless songs sell more. For every Sing or Castle On The Hill there's three Shape Of Yous or Perfects. But minivan core has a big audience, and he sure knows how to play into it.

      I will stand by the fact that The A Team, Lego House, Photograph, Castle on the Hill and Visiting Hours are stellar songs. It’s a shame that almost everything else he makes is musical NyQuil that does numbers because Karens use it as background noise.

    Castle on the Hill is legitimately a great song because not only is it very well sung and believable in his performance, it's actually unique to him and feels like it really earns its big, bombastic chorus. I'm not a Sheeran fan, but I'll always give him this track. It's Summer of 69 for a new generation and it works.

    What makes castle on the hill so special is that "uneventful life story" is the same as we all had, I can't say my childhood had any crazy adventures but looking back now it's those little moments with my friends doing normal things that make me remember how happy I was and feel nostalgic. This song brings back exactly those memories in a very warm and cute way.

    • @infinityquartz4744
      @infinityquartz4744 Před rokem +22

    • @pizzzaeater1425
      @pizzzaeater1425 Před rokem +20

      fully agree. it's one of Ed's best songs because it portrays that middle-class childhood most of us had, and Ed seems to either not know how or not care enough to make most of the rest of his songs as genuine and genuinely relatable. i think Castle on the Hill is an above-average song outside the context of Ed's discography, but the song stands out within that context because the context itself is so boring and lifeless.

Even though I'm past him and have found WAY better musicians (especially in Folk), I've had some really good memories from Ed, and my favorite songs from him will always bring me back.

    I feel like this album is better when listening to the songs separately rather than together, so that you aren't bored by a bunch of slow songs in a row and instead can enjoy a song by itself.

    He gets the rap pass. Before he was even signed to a label, he had music posted on SBTV, and did a collaboration EP with a bunch of UK grime artists. He has a lot of ties to the rap scene (pre-drill) and seems to be treated with a lot respect. I think he has supported them in a number of ways since but I cant remember anything specific. I hate his music, but it's pretty cool. And that EP, while not great, is probably his best release IMO.

I have severe ADHD myself and it feels nice to be understood! Your content is very refreshing and it's nice to show realism overall.
