'Afire Love' is about William Sheeran. Ed's song 'Nancy Mulligan' is about Ed's Irish paternal grandparents, Nancy and William Sheeran. Nancy is now 93 yrs old. Supermarket Flowers is about Ed's maternal grandmother, Shirley.
My grampa passed away from Alzheimer's in 2013, a year later Ed released this song. I remember hearing it for the first time and bawling. It's just too relatable for me, my grandma, and the rest of my family.
This song has been out for 7 years and this is the first time I've heard it or of it.. I love Ed Sheeran and his music so you would think I know this song 🤌
One of my teachers died suddenly two years ago around Christmas time from cancer, and I remember everyone in the school was crying and mourning (she was important to almost everyone) but I was the only one not to cry, not being one to cry in public or around people. It was only on Christmas Eve and listening to this song, at the part when the violin comes on, that I finally broke down and cried about it. Shows how powerful music can be.
Finally had the courage to listen to this again because this reminds me of grandpa. To those who lost their loved ones, i hope we remember them not with tears in our eyes but with a smile.
Possibly the best song Ed Sheeran has ever written. This is truly touching in how it turns despair and bewilderment into hope, without ever dismissing the uncertainty and dread its narrator can never quite shake.
@@henrywayne5724 My money’s on “no”. I don’t think Ed Sheeran has another 10, or even another 9, in him, and he’s become less interesting relative to his fellow popstars as of late (mostly because they’ve become so much more interesting than they used to be), but he remains a fundamentally good artist who makes the occasional gem, and also the occasional dud. I always read some sarcastic subtext à la “You Will Be Found” from Dear Evan Hansen into the chorus, where it’s clear that all these pretty words aren’t really helping the narrator like they’re helping everyone around him, and it really elevates the song.
@@reinhardtwilhelm5415 I am cautiously optimistic about his forthcoming album because seems like we'll be returning to the good old days of his poetic lyricism. But this song though...it's haunting, optimistic, and painful all at the same time. I'm yet to see him compose something that could rival this perhaps in his forthcoming album. I remain hopeful.
How has this not hit number one yet? This is beautiful, probably one of my favorite songs now. The music video I can only imagine would be emotional. I think he should make one. Who's with me?
This sing is so beautiful. My grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's a few years ago too. It was horrible seeing him like that, but whenever I think of him I remember the great man he was and I see him as the man I saw when I was a little kid, not the man with Alzheimer's. It's such a horrible disease :( but the song is absolutely amazing!
My grandfather has Parkinson. It's not the same but it's so sad to see him like this. And the worst is that we all are so afraid of loosing him. He's such a great person.
The music... The meaning... The magnificence, He deserves every bit of success he has gotten... *sniff sniff* T-T HE IS SO GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES! He could write a song about a couch and I would still listen to it... He could write a song about Lego and I would still buy it... He could write a song about a prostitute and it would still win a award...
i lost mine about five years ago, we were close. it doesn't hurt any less, but there's peace now for me and my family. we've learned to go on, and even though we're all grown and moved out of our houses we still talk and just spend time remembering him. i'm not religious, but i feel that we never really lose anyone. we have to hold onto the love they gave us in their lives and cling to it, and as long as somebody carries the memory or the impact of that love, they aren't gone. my heart hurts for you, but i hope you feel his love, and i hope you can give that love to others. it's frightening and there's nothing like this feeling you're feeling right now in all the world, but i just know there's more to love. it doesn't leave when we leave. we live on and we remember, and we love others and they remember. i hope you feel my love too, and i hope you feel held by those around you right now.
My grandma died of this unreal disease. It took me a long time to accept it, and I still have trouble thinking about her. This song helps me get those feelings out. Rip grandma
This song goes on to show what incredible of an artist ed sheeran is. He put us in his shoes and made us empathize what it's like to have someone with Alzheimers. Furthermore he shifted the perspective to his granny's point of view showcasing that true love always prevails regardless of the severity of a deadly disease.
Everytime I hear this song I remember my grandmother teling me "it doesn't matter if I don't know your name or I don't remember who you are, always keep in mind that I love you very much and that I'll always be with you" (she's in the last stage of Alzheimer now) Edit from 2020: I wrote this right before she passed away, it still reminds me of her 💖
+Toni Liem you probably make her proud wherever she is just because you exist... but if you feel like you need to do something for her, pick something you like to do, put your best effort on it and dedicate it to her memory... at least that's what I'm doing atm
2 years today, I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s. I can’t get through this song without sobbing, but yet it’s so comforting at the same time. Thank you Ed 🥺💔
My Grandpa died last year in October... One of the hardest times of my life. He had Alzheimers disease like this song describes. He didn't remember who I was but acted like he did when he saw me. He was a smoker but was hit so bad with the disease he forgot that he smoked. When he passed away he left peacefully which left us all in peace to know he didn't suffer. When I came across this song it hit me pretty hard. Thanks Ed.
I love how he's getting to branch out so much. Each track is so different from the last and hits me in a different way! I love the story behind each on and I love how the production is so different. He's the only artist that can make me feel 5 completely different emotions with just as many songs...all I can say is wow!
[Lyric] Things were all good yesterday And then the devil took your memory And if you fell to your death today I hope that heaven is your resting place I heard the doctors put your chest in pain But then that could've been the medicine And now you're lying in the bed again Either way, I'll cry with the rest of them And my father told me, "Son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face And you're not the only one" Although my grandma used to say That he used to sing Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night And we'll lie inside for a little while here, oh I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up And we're wrapped in light and life and love Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together, oh With your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one And we're set alight, we're afire love Love, love And things were all good yesterday But then the devil took your breath away And now we're left here in the pain Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain And now my family is one again Stapled together with the strangers and a friend Came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen Six years old, I remember when My father told me, "Son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face And you're not the only one" Although my grandma used to say That he used to sing Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night And we'll lie inside for a little while here, oh I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up And we're wrapped in light and life and love Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together, oh With your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one And we're set alight, we're afire love Love, love See the love, the love, the love, the love See the love, the love, the love, the love See the love, the love, the love, the love And my father and all of my family Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah And my mother and all of my family Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah And my brother and all of my family Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah (And all my brothers and my sisters, yeah, ah) And my father and all of my family Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah To the love, the love, the love, the love To the love, the love, the love, the love To the love, the love, the love, the love
To the people saying 'I'm disappointed' this song is about his grandfather passing away. Yes, his style has changed, but he's still ed... have some understanding, he made this song for his grandfather, not you. You listen to it, you ether like it or you don't. But this song was for him. Not us. He just shared it with us... love you ed!
It's not even about it being about his grandfather. I love that. But it's not the original music style everyone loved by him. I would love this song if he took the band out, did it himself, and used an acoustic.
"for him" , "should feel honored". Nothing against him, but he makes money off these. A lot of money. So saying they are "for him" and hes just sharing these with us just cause is not accurate. And I really hope he sticks to his original style in the future. :/ I just prefer the other music. I want to be able to say I love every new album more than the last that comes out. It shouldn't be the other way around.
Look, yeah okay, he makes money of these songs. But he never had to publish this song. The last album was what two years ago maybe? In two years it gives him time to change up his style. And if you liked his old songs better, than don't listen to his new ones if your gonna be stupid about it. In his old songs he had bands playing too, this is probably one of the sweetest song I've ever heard. But its people like you who discourage him to try new styles. So why don't you shut the hell up and enjoy his music, Jesus!
@@RSLucid I googled it and ed sheeran has a net worth of 200 million dollars, do you really think he posted this song for the money. It is good to remember that musicians are real people with too (not everything has to be about money and fame). If you don't like the song then just don't listen to it.
Used to listen to this song/album when I visited my Grandma in the hospital, It’s been nearly 4 years since her passing and I always think of her whenever I listen to this album, thank you for the bittersweet memories Ed💞
My grandpa is on his deathbed right now. He is such and important person in my life, he's literally my hero. He's so strong and he always calls to wonder if I'm okay even if he's the one I should ask... When I found this song and realised it was by Ed I wasn't surprised I could relate to it so much. I found a small comfort in this song... I'm not ready to go to a funeral... I really don't want to.. He's been so much closer to me since grandma died too. I love you grandpa! Ed is cheering me up, don't worry. I love you so much.
When my dear grandfather passed away last February, Ed's song "Autumn Leaves" really helped me through this terrible time of loss... I love the authenticity of Ed's music... it is just what I need. R.i.P Grandpa, in my heart forever...
I cry whenever I hear this song. It makes me remember my partner who passed away in 2014. I have never met a man like him before nor since. He was from Manhattan, New York; I grew up on a farm in Iowa. Yet with our polar opposite backgrounds, we clicked so well. We seemed to have so much in common. He is one of the very few people who really understood me. He never judged me. He accepted me the way I am. I will love you until the day I die. I miss you so much.
"Afire Love" was written about Sheeran's grandfather "two weeks before he passed away." He had suffered with Alzheimer's disease for twenty years, and Sheeran has been thinking "What if [he passed away]? And then he did." Sheeran finished writing the song at his funeral
My grandma has Alzheimer's, and is currently in the ER with chest pains and a slight concussion, and I thought of this song when I found out she is is the ER. She doesn't know who I am anymore but she still says I love you, and it's just really hard seeing her the way she is.
I'm sorry about your grandma. My great uncle passed from Alzheimer complications. I'm sure your company is a great comfort to her and she does love you.
Yea, my grandma too. She can't speak to others, don't react to their sords. But if I speak she reacts and speaks, say I love U and she always start to sing a melody...
This song was written so beautifully. I have never heard a song so powerful, I could literally feel what he felt while writing this song and going through this phase of his life. I just wish ed sheeran receives much more recognition for his music!
I'm 19 years old but I've lost all my grandparents, including one of my grandmas who died a year before I was born. This song means a lot, especially how simple yet truthful the lyrics are. Thank you for creating this song Ed!
This song is so deep. I always listened to this and also read that his relates this lyrics to his grandfather. About 5 months ago my mother passed away and every time I listen to this song it does bring me in tears. But she is in a better plan now, what is left is the good moments that we had together...
My grandpa died from corona just a few hours ago. I've always found this song very emotional but when a loved one dies, this song hits different. I was here when my grandma died last year. Now I'm here again..
I picked this song to play at my Grandma's visitation. It's beautiful. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 60. She and my Grandpa raised me. She passed away November 9th, 2014. She lost her courageous battle with this horrible disease 11 years after being diagnosed. During her final week, she had aspiration pneumonia, she was put on morphine every two hours. So every lyric in this song hits so close to home.
Amazing and heartbroking at the same time. I've lost grandpas and grandmas, I know how it hurts. I'm glad someone as talent as Ed were able to put this pain in words. Love it.
Damn, i'm a guy and i'm not use to listen to music like this, and yet i love this guy's music now, it's like i've been carrying so much darkness these last years.....i need a break, i need music like this, you are what you "consume", that not only applies to food but music as well.
I have no idea how it's possible but there is no song written by Ed wchich i don like. He's sooo gifted and his voice is amazingg. There is no word to describe how talented he is.
Ed's style has not changed. He's always been a mixture of acoustic, and upbeat pop/ rap. Like tracks from + such as the city, grade 8, you need me I don't need you. He also has an entire Rap EP "The slumdon Bridge" with yelawolf. So stop complaining. If you only listen to his acoustic stuff that's fine, but don't complain when he releases more upbeat stuff, with accusations of him changing his style. Not true at all.
This has been my new favorite song from him right since I first heard it. So powerful and heartbreaking and beautiful. If anyone's interested I learned this on piano for my youtube page, I'm addicted to Ed Sheeran's music... he's definitely an inspiration to me. The new album is amazing - this one and Tenerife Sea are my faves!
I don't care what religion, race, income level you are, etc. Music can unite everyone. Music can take away pain, bring back memories, inspire, etc. this is why kids love concerts, bands, warped tour, etc. Ed and many other bands/ singers are touring the world bringing people together. Music can unite us.
I don't listen to his big mainstream songs, but the ones like this are truly something else. Afire Love specifically has to be my favorite. It carries so much that it never gets old.
I was expecting this to be another love song and now I'm sitting here crying my grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's in February after having it for a few years and this hit close to home ❤️
I love this song. Here's a sob story for you, TH-cam. Every time I hear this song, I think of my aunt. She died a couple of months ago, and this was perfect. She was in the hospital, released, and sent back in. She was lying in the bed again.... She died on a Tuesday night. Things were all good yesterday, then the devil took your breath away. Now we're left here in the pain, black suit, black tie, standing in the rain. Her funeral was cloudy and the same day the album release date, June 23. This is the song of coincidences. Thanks, Ed. He brought me closer to my aunt.
Lyrics Things were all good yesterday And then the devil took your memory And if you fell to your death today I hope that heaven is your resting place I heard the doctors put your chest in pain But then that could have been the medicine And now you're lying in the bed again Either way I'll cry with the rest of them And my father told me, son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face And you're not the only one Although my grandma used to say, he used to say Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together oh With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh And things were all good yesterday Then the devil took your breath away And now we're left here in the pain Black suit, black tie standin' in the rain And now my family is one again Stapled together with the strangers and a friend Came to my mind I should paint it with a pen Six years old I remember when And my father told me, son It's not his fault he doesn't know your face And you're not the only one Although my grandma used to say, he used to say Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut For they're designed to be together oh With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh And my father and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah And my mother and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing halellujah And my brother and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah (And all of my brothers and my sisters, yeah) And my father and all of my family Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah Hallelujah
My husband passed away last month from a massive heart attack. It was very sudden and unexpected. "Our song" was Afire Love. We're older people and are grandparents. I recently got a tattoo on my arm that says In Light In Life In love. Under that is my husband's heartbeat right before he passed away. The nurse's in the ICU department printed out my husband's last heartbeat before he flatlined. Under his heartbeat, it says To the love, We love, To love, We love. I'm thankful and grateful for that song Ed Sheeran 💕 thank you.
I take care of dementia patients. This means a lot to me especially since I lost my Grandmother to the disease. She thought I was my Mother! So I know how the disease affects the whole family. Thanks for putting it into words. We just have to remember who they really were. Thanks so much for all of your music.
Joe Shadrick You're welcome. It is fulfilling as a nurse to practice end of life care. Sometimes we find the real person is still there. It doesn't matter that they think you or I are someone else. If that gives comfort what does it matter. Just visit them & love them.
I wish I was going to his concert, but I didn't get a ticket! And it sucks even more that I actually had a second chance, since they moved the place to a bigger place! :(
NancyLiin it's alright. there'll always be next time. Ed is a performer at heart, so he will always have great shows to go to (god willing). You will get your chance!
My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was 67 and went for years in a daze without a clue of who any of her children and grandchild were. She died at the age 94. The last words she spoke to me were "What a pretty girl you are, whats your name?"
September the first 2014 died my grandmother in maroc with Alzheimer, my grandmother, i've never met here without it ('cause i live in the netherlands and she in maroc D:) now my grandmother in netherland has it too D:
My Grandfather passed away 4 years away and listening to this song about Ed's grandfather reminds me of that time again. I live in a different state then he did and when we got the news, we took a plane and then a short drive to reach his funeral. And in that time it took us to get there I got a chance to reflect on all the moments we shared together and that we would never share any again. As soon as we arrive i broke into tears and barely stopped even after his pyre was taken away. He was an amazing grandpa and an amazing human being. Listening to this song made me reminisce about our times just as i had when we were on the flight to his funeral and it makes me sad but i know that he would not have wanted me to stay stuck up on the past. So thank you for this beautiful song Ed.
Ok my dad died in June 2014,and i feel something in my feelings that i didnt come in his funeral,R.I.P dad.People just like my dad is rare,hes always there for me.
This song came out one year and five months after I lost my own grandfather to Alzheimer's. He suffered with it for four years before he finally passed away the day after Christmas.
They're both pretty straight forwards if you listen to the lyrics, Shape of you - song he wrote for Rihanna, but then he decided he preferred to keep it for himself. n Castle On The Hill is about his love of coming home & to friends in Suffolk
True story during school: So, I get to my homeroom, the morning after hearing this song after I bought Ed's album, "x". This song was stuck in my head, and I was crying inside a bit because I knew what the song was about (I might of teared up a bit, I don't know.). I wrote this on my desk: "Things were all good yesterday, until the devil took your memory~". My homeroom class is also my LA class/last period, and I sit in the same seat as I do in homeroom. So, when it's LA, people wrote the whole song down, and it was awesome that everyone dotted the "i"s with hearts. I started tearing up while we were reading, but I was just so happy everyone who sat there knew the lyrics. The last person wrote these words: "Ed, I know you will never read this, but I just have to write it. Dear Ed; You are the most amazing song writer ever. Every time I listen to your songs, they make me happy. And I also just have to say this: In your song, "Thinking Out Loud" you mention the crowds not remembering your name, and that the girl will always love you the same. I don't know if I count as a crowd, but I will always remember your name. From, Bryanna." The person who wrote that, was me. I just had to. The next day, the janitors cleaned it off the desk, but I remembered it perfectly. That made me want to type this here. Also, Ed, I'm really sorry about your grandfather.. Just remember; Your true fans & I will always be here for you~
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ this is amazing! no one in my school understands why i love his music so much, im glad the people in your school understand real beauty :)
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ Damn.... what an amazing story... I'm kinda jealous you have such a story to tell to other people... It makes my life look so boring and with nothing that interesting as what happened to you.... :/ well I'll depress you with my mood no longer... ;)
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ Right. The true fans of Ed Sheeran don't just love him for what he does, I love him for who he is, his humility and what he has been through. Ed, you are my hero.
this song is SO underrated, My brother has bought the "X" album and plays the album every time he drives so I also listen to this song every time we go someplace together so I've been listening to this song for multiple years now. This song is so good and so underrated I wish more people would listen to it.
he got the voice , the guitare skills and he can performe very well that is why he is one of the best singers in the whole wild world for especially love songs 😑😑 and he sings for all the youngs
I keep coming back to this every year on my grandfathers birthday. It’s five years since he passed - also from Alzheimers, and I still cry when I hear this song.
What I love about this song is the unique perspective under which he sings about his grandparents' love. We usually don't think about it in terms of passion and fire, but he was enough sensible to understand that such a love story was born and risen through flames. And even though people get old, and the way they care and feel about each others inevitably changes, they will always cherish how alive they felt together when they were young, beautiful and filled with desire.

This and Supermarket Flowers are the saddest and most beautiful songs Ed has ever written 🙌
'Afire Love' is about William Sheeran. Ed's song 'Nancy Mulligan' is about Ed's Irish paternal grandparents, Nancy and William Sheeran. Nancy is now 93 yrs old. Supermarket Flowers is about Ed's maternal grandmother, Shirley.
U r totally right, ED IS THE BEST!! ;)
I feel like "Save Myself" can be up there too
Autumn Leaves too
I totally agree this is my favorite song of his, it was my favorite song before
I feel like Ed Sheeran's songs are going to be what all the ladies will be wishing their lovers would sing to them.
Pretty much 😅
haha, I do to my girlfriend all the time tbh 😂
Dank_Bucket That is so sweet.

Its February 2022, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible song🧡
I miss his old music style :(
I have arrived.
This song has been out for 7 years and this is the first time I've heard it or of it.. I love Ed Sheeran and his music so you would think I know this song 🤌

Here✌️✌️♥️♥️♥️😩
Let's be honest here, anything Ed makes is just golden. I've never heard a song by him that I disliked, seriously, it's just magic.
He's amazing
***** if he re-recorded it I bet it would be pretty good, his voice was the let down there and that was down to his age
Me too i think that addicted is good for old he was when he wrote and recorded it
same here bro, his influence is huge on me. I love his style so so much. Maybe Ed is a kinda drug, im addicted to it.
I agree completely! x
There's an Ed Sheeran song for every emotion you're feeling.
this is a perfect description of all Ed Sheeran songs
true
This is one of the most underrated songs maybe. Sooo underrated.

one of his best songs
Listening in 2024 & it's still perfect.
Timeless classic.
One of my teachers died suddenly two years ago around Christmas time from cancer, and I remember everyone in the school was crying and mourning (she was important to almost everyone) but I was the only one not to cry, not being one to cry in public or around people. It was only on Christmas Eve and listening to this song, at the part when the violin comes on, that I finally broke down and cried about it. Shows how powerful music can be.

So long .. still it has the same feel when i hear 1st time ..!
LunaLight okay I'll join the squad😢💔
Finally had the courage to listen to this again because this reminds me of grandpa. To those who lost their loved ones, i hope we remember them not with tears in our eyes but with a smile.
I feel like I’m at the place now 6 years later when I remember with a smile. But whenever I hear this song it makes me cry without fail.
The same 🙏 cry each time listening it💔
R.I.P. forever. Take care and God bless!
Same for me, and I listened to it for my grandmother too , it always makes me cry but it’s so beautiful at the same time ❤️🙏🏼
I still ball my eye out every time. It ever gets old it’s something you will never get over
This song is pure heaven.
This song reeeally needs an official video 🙏
ikr
all his songs need an official video tbh
Ayesha Chandra your right it does!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Compare this to SING and you really get a sense of how much depth this guy has. Ed can do it all..
Indeed my friend!.. i agree 100%
Possibly the best song Ed Sheeran has ever written. This is truly touching in how it turns despair and bewilderment into hope, without ever dismissing the uncertainty and dread its narrator can never quite shake.
Idk I think it's on par with supermarket flowers. I sing that song on the street as a memorial to my adoptive mom who died in 2018
I agree...this is the best song Ed Sheeran has ever written.. I don't know whether he'll ever top this
@@henrywayne5724 My money’s on “no”. I don’t think Ed Sheeran has another 10, or even another 9, in him, and he’s become less interesting relative to his fellow popstars as of late (mostly because they’ve become so much more interesting than they used to be), but he remains a fundamentally good artist who makes the occasional gem, and also the occasional dud.

brown bottles Yes better understanding now :) thank you! That would be awesome this if this became his next single tho! lol
Lenexa Cole Beautiful how are you
This sing is so beautiful. My grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's a few years ago too. It was horrible seeing him like that, but whenever I think of him I remember the great man he was and I see him as the man I saw when I was a little kid, not the man with Alzheimer's. It's such a horrible disease :( but the song is absolutely amazing!
💝
if you dont mind me asking what is alzheimers disease sorry for your loss x
Ya my great grandmother passed from it too
My grandfather has Parkinson. It's not the same but it's so sad to see him like this. And the worst is that we all are so afraid of loosing him. He's such a great person.
so did my granddad it completely changed him
The music... The meaning... The magnificence, He deserves every bit of success he has gotten...
*sniff sniff* T-T HE IS SO GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES!
He could write a song about a couch and I would still listen to it...
He could write a song about Lego and I would still buy it...
He could write a song about a prostitute and it would still win a award...
My grandfather died of dementia today. This song will always remind me of him.
aww that's so sad. Rest in Peace your grandpa
i lost mine about five years ago, we were close. it doesn't hurt any less, but there's peace now for me and my family. we've learned to go on, and even though we're all grown and moved out of our houses we still talk and just spend time remembering him. i'm not religious, but i feel that we never really lose anyone. we have to hold onto the love they gave us in their lives and cling to it, and as long as somebody carries the memory or the impact of that love, they aren't gone. my heart hurts for you, but i hope you feel his love, and i hope you can give that love to others. it's frightening and there's nothing like this feeling you're feeling right now in all the world, but i just know there's more to love. it doesn't leave when we leave. we live on and we remember, and we love others and they remember. i hope you feel my love too, and i hope you feel held by those around you right now.
Sorry for your loss...
Rest In Peace for your grandfather
Stay safe and he is in Heaven!
The most beautiful song in the world.. my heart is full of this song.
Whoever you are we are kindred spirits.
My grandma died of this unreal disease. It took me a long time to accept it, and I still have trouble thinking about her. This song helps me get those feelings out. Rip grandma
it's beautiful i cried. Never stop singing!!
I love that he keeps his loved ones' memories alive through his music
This song goes on to show what incredible of an artist ed sheeran is. He put us in his shoes and made us empathize what it's like to have someone with Alzheimers. Furthermore he shifted the perspective to his granny's point of view showcasing that true love always prevails regardless of the severity of a deadly disease.
Yes, from his gran perspective. Exactly.
Said beautifully
Everytime I hear this song I remember my grandmother teling me "it doesn't matter if I don't know your name or I don't remember who you are, always keep in mind that I love you very much and that I'll always be with you" (she's in the last stage of Alzheimer now)
Edit from 2020: I wrote this right before she passed away, it still reminds me of her 💖
girl you make me cry... this is what she said to me before she died few years back and i havent done anything for her or making her proud of me.
+Toni Liem you probably make her proud wherever she is just because you exist... but if you feel like you need to do something for her, pick something you like to do, put your best effort on it and dedicate it to her memory... at least that's what I'm doing atm
Well I'm in love with this song.
2 years today, I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s. I can’t get through this song without sobbing, but yet it’s so comforting at the same time. Thank you Ed 🥺💔
this new album is going to be soooooooooooooooo good !!!!!
I CAN'T WAIT ANYMORE !!!!
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL its coming out 23rd right? xxxx
Erica Bridgewater On iTunes the 20th :D
My Grandpa died last year in October... One of the hardest times of my life. He had Alzheimers disease like this song describes. He didn't remember who I was but acted like he did when he saw me. He was a smoker but was hit so bad with the disease he forgot that he smoked. When he passed away he left peacefully which left us all in peace to know he didn't suffer. When I came across this song it hit me pretty hard. Thanks Ed.
God bless you. Stay strong ❤
God bless you and R.I.P
may your grandpa rest in piece
I love how he's getting to branch out so much. Each track is so different from the last and hits me in a different way! I love the story behind each on and I love how the production is so different. He's the only artist that can make me feel 5 completely different emotions with just as many songs...all I can say is wow!
[Lyric]
Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that could've been the medicine
And now you're lying in the bed again
Either way, I'll cry with the rest of them
And my father told me, "Son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one"
Although my grandma used to say
That he used to sing
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside for a little while here, oh
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light and life and love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love
Love, love
And things were all good yesterday
But then the devil took your breath away
And now we're left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
Came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen
Six years old, I remember when
My father told me, "Son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one"
Although my grandma used to say
That he used to sing
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside for a little while here, oh
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light and life and love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine, our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love
Love, love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
See the love, the love, the love, the love
And my father and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my mother and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my brother and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
(And all my brothers and my sisters, yeah, ah)
And my father and all of my family
Rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
To the love, the love, the love, the love
To the love, the love, the love, the love
To the love, the love, the love, the love
One of the most beautiful songs out there. My favorite from Ed Sheeran.
same :) it's just beautiful.
Has ed sheeran ever made a bad song? Just wow!!!!!
Never has and never will.
Ever heard Addicted? Yeah that one was pretty bad. Good thing he kept working at it though x
Cecil Gleim There is a difference between a bad song and bad vocals lmao. Lycris = alright Vocals = Fucking kill me
3soolaful I WAS THINK THE SAME THING... KKKKKKK
+3soolaful His song 'Sing' is the most horrible one tbh..
To the people saying 'I'm disappointed' this song is about his grandfather passing away. Yes, his style has changed, but he's still ed... have some understanding, he made this song for his grandfather, not you. You listen to it, you ether like it or you don't. But this song was for him. Not us. He just shared it with us... love you ed!
It's not even about it being about his grandfather. I love that. But it's not the original music style everyone loved by him. I would love this song if he took the band out, did it himself, and used an acoustic.
Well put, he writes these for him, we should feel honored
"for him" , "should feel honored". Nothing against him, but he makes money off these. A lot of money. So saying they are "for him" and hes just sharing these with us just cause is not accurate. And I really hope he sticks to his original style in the future. :/ I just prefer the other music. I want to be able to say I love every new album more than the last that comes out. It shouldn't be the other way around.
Look, yeah okay, he makes money of these songs. But he never had to publish this song. The last album was what two years ago maybe? In two years it gives him time to change up his style. And if you liked his old songs better, than don't listen to his new ones if your gonna be stupid about it. In his old songs he had bands playing too, this is probably one of the sweetest song I've ever heard. But its people like you who discourage him to try new styles. So why don't you shut the hell up and enjoy his music, Jesus!
@@RSLucid I googled it and ed sheeran has a net worth of 200 million dollars, do you really think he posted this song for the money. It is good to remember that musicians are real people with too (not everything has to be about money and fame). If you don't like the song then just don't listen to it.
I just lost my grandfather today after a 10 year battle on and off with cancer. I fully feel this song now. Thank you Ed.
I lost mine too 2 years ago on christmas :(
One of the rare artists whose songs still have a point.
I strongly agree!
I agree as well!
Yes
Agreed..
Definitely
Will Ed Sheeran ever write/create a bad song?
I don't think it's physically possible for him.
This is painfully beautiful.
Nobody does it like you do ed. The emotion in your voice in every song makes you so much above the rest. Another beautiful song, no surprise.
Used to listen to this song/album when I visited my Grandma in the hospital,
It’s been nearly 4 years since her passing and I always think of her whenever I listen to this album, thank you for the bittersweet memories Ed💞
My dad died 2 days ago and afire love is getting me through the grief, thanks ed
Rip❤️
Rip❤️❤️❤️
stay strong, you're not alone.
DONT ED SHEERAN
Sorry to here that 😰
My grandpa is on his deathbed right now. He is such and important person in my life, he's literally my hero. He's so strong and he always calls to wonder if I'm okay even if he's the one I should ask... When I found this song and realised it was by Ed I wasn't surprised I could relate to it so much. I found a small comfort in this song... I'm not ready to go to a funeral... I really don't want to.. He's been so much closer to me since grandma died too. I love you grandpa! Ed is cheering me up, don't worry. I love you so much.
awh :'( ❤
I feel sorry
+Emilia Berglund life is a circle i have faith you will see him again in one form or anthother hope you can find peace in the meantime.
+Emilia Berglund I don't pay my internet to be sad.. WHY YOU DO THIS :(((
+Emilia Berglund Pun intended ^
When my dear grandfather passed away last February, Ed's song "Autumn Leaves" really helped me through this terrible time of loss... I love the authenticity of Ed's music... it is just what I need.
R.i.P Grandpa, in my heart forever...
Same here that song really got me through my grandpas death 💜
I would listen to Autumn Leaves all the time when my grandma passed away.. Great song. Such beautiful lyrics
Autumn Leaves and Where We Land are my favorites, gorgeous songs.
I cry whenever I hear this song. It makes me remember my partner who passed away in 2014. I have never met a man like him before nor since. He was from Manhattan, New York; I grew up on a farm in Iowa. Yet with our polar opposite backgrounds, we clicked so well. We seemed to have so much in common. He is one of the very few people who really understood me. He never judged me. He accepted me the way I am. I will love you until the day I die. I miss you so much.
Need a official music video for this...
+Hazeem Ul Hussain YES
what so we can cry even more.... :c
+PootiRootiGotUrTags Haha so true.
+PootiRootiGotUrTags Haha so true.
+PootiRootiGotUrTags Haha so true.
Ed sheeran. You make me cry my eyes out. In times when I need to... but no one helps me. Thank you so much.
Ed sheeran makes my day, again.
Working as a CNA and caring for dementia patients this song speaks to me on a whole new level. 🥺💚
it is impossible to hate ed sheeran
True!
True
trueeee👌👌👌
Ouhhh I'm sorry... My mom hates him more than literally everything Else... Well, she says so🤷🏽♀️
@@murieljacop2168 How? Just how? What is not to love about this ginger?
"Afire Love" was written about Sheeran's grandfather "two weeks before he passed away." He had suffered with Alzheimer's disease for twenty years, and Sheeran has been thinking "What if [he passed away]? And then he did." Sheeran finished writing the song at his funeral
where did you get that information from? :)
^^^^^
theConnieAurora en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_(Ed_Sheeran_album) :)
akatheJellyfish Thank you!! ^_^
theConnieAurora all good :)
My grandma has Alzheimer's, and is currently in the ER with chest pains and a slight concussion, and I thought of this song when I found out she is is the ER. She doesn't know who I am anymore but she still says I love you, and it's just really hard seeing her the way she is.
in*
I'm really really sorry about your mum
music is beautiful, it heals everything!! keep listing to it especially if you feel a release from it :)
I'm sorry about your grandma. My great uncle passed from Alzheimer complications. I'm sure your company is a great comfort to her and she does love you.
k
Yea, my grandma too. She can't speak to others, don't react to their sords. But if I speak she reacts and speaks, say I love U and she always start to sing a melody...
It's 2021 and I'm still crying everytime I listen to this song
It's a beautiful song I hope my reply doesn't ruin your day
Yay! Im not alone
We are 3 my friend.........
It's 2022, I still feel some kinda hurt listening to this... Timeless song
9 June 2022
This song was written so beautifully.
I have never heard a song so powerful, I could literally feel what he felt while writing this song and going through this phase of his life. I just wish ed sheeran receives much more recognition for his music!
I agree, if a song about butts (Anaconda) can get to #1 best song Ed Sheeran should already be there
I'm 19 years old but I've lost all my grandparents, including one of my grandmas who died a year before I was born. This song means a lot, especially how simple yet truthful the lyrics are. Thank you for creating this song Ed!
I'm 11 and I've lost 3 of them
I'm 19 but I've never seen ANYBODY of my grandparents.
It doesn't matter my age, my grandparents passed away before I was born :/. I can't relate to the song, but I can feel it and it makes me cry a lot.
This song is so deep. I always listened to this and also read that his relates this lyrics to his grandfather. About 5 months ago my mother passed away and every time I listen to this song it does bring me in tears. But she is in a better plan now, what is left is the good moments that we had together...
Roberto Leonel God Bless You
My grandpa died from corona just a few hours ago. I've always found this song very emotional but when a loved one dies, this song hits different. I was here when my grandma died last year. Now I'm here again..
I'm sorry about that :( I lost my fiancé to corona in December as well 😔
I picked this song to play at my Grandma's visitation. It's beautiful. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at age 60. She and my Grandpa raised me. She passed away November 9th, 2014. She lost her courageous battle with this horrible disease 11 years after being diagnosed. During her final week, she had aspiration pneumonia, she was put on morphine every two hours. So every lyric in this song hits so close to home.
I'm so sorry for your loss. She's in a better place now. Watching over your family
Oh my god, Nov,9 is my birth day 0-0, Sorry for your loss also. Stay strong
🙏 sorry about your loss
Nothing good happens on 9/11
I'm so sorry for your loss, I know people say this a lot but she is in a better place. Stay strong
Amazing and heartbroking at the same time. I've lost grandpas and grandmas, I know how it hurts. I'm glad someone as talent as Ed were able to put this pain in words. Love it.
Jess this song is beautiful and it expresses how hard it is to lose someone you love.i love you boo♡♡♡
Damn, i'm a guy and i'm not use to listen to music like this, and yet i love this guy's music now, it's like i've been carrying so much darkness these last years.....i need a break, i need music like this, you are what you "consume", that not only applies to food but music as well.
same, i feel you haha
ohhh yes feel you (but I'm a girl)😂
Same like his music takes you somewhere else
he awesome
he awesome
Anyone still listening 2020? Quarantine’s got me exploring his albums. This song is... yeah. Emotional.
I discovered the song this quarantine too. And now I'm just crying like a baby.
Yes
Mrs. Gacha Bear I’m listening right now!
heydoo!
Yeper
Just finished cleaning the garden of my house .. , sit and drink a cup of coffee with Ed Sheeran 's music to me is a paradise!
+Sligo 1978
:D
V true :DDD
Me too
TRUTH :O)
I was looking for a song for my girlfriend then I found this.she Love's it 😎
better to have loved and lost than never be loved before .
TRUE AF
So damnful true
Terry Tan damn that's confusing but good message 😂
I have no idea how it's possible but there is no song written by Ed wchich i don like. He's sooo gifted and his voice is amazingg. There is no word to describe how talented he is.
which*
Ed's style has not changed. He's always been a mixture of acoustic, and upbeat pop/ rap. Like tracks from + such as the city, grade 8, you need me I don't need you. He also has an entire Rap EP "The slumdon Bridge" with yelawolf. So stop complaining. If you only listen to his acoustic stuff that's fine, but don't complain when he releases more upbeat stuff, with accusations of him changing his style. Not true at all.
Finally someone said it!
EXACTLY! could not have said it better myself! Thank you!
Yes! Thank you for saying it.
A- fucking-men.
Finally some people with sense
This has been my new favorite song from him right since I first heard it. So powerful and heartbreaking and beautiful. If anyone's interested I learned this on piano for my youtube page, I'm addicted to Ed Sheeran's music... he's definitely an inspiration to me. The new album is amazing - this one and Tenerife Sea are my faves!
I don't care what religion, race, income level you are, etc. Music can unite everyone. Music can take away pain, bring back memories, inspire, etc. this is why kids love concerts, bands, warped tour, etc. Ed and many other bands/ singers are touring the world bringing people together. Music can unite us.
I don't listen to his big mainstream songs, but the ones like this are truly something else. Afire Love specifically has to be my favorite. It carries so much that it never gets old.
this is one of my favorite songs! ed sheeran is a really good song writer. can't wait for his new album to drop
I was expecting this to be another love song and now I'm sitting here crying my grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's in February after having it for a few years and this hit close to home ❤️
I am so sorry, feel better babe.
Im sorry, sweetie.. Everything will be alright, smile, life goes on :) hope you feel better😘
My grandmother died in Dec '12 and my other grandmother died May 11 from Alzheimer's 😔
Owh, im sorry, dearie.. Cheer up, everyone has to go to a better place one day so don't worry and smile:)
Im so sorry for your lost :( I have an encouraging scripture I would share with you, do you mind?
I love this song. Here's a sob story for you, TH-cam.
Every time I hear this song, I think of my aunt. She died a couple of months ago, and this was perfect. She was in the hospital, released, and sent back in. She was lying in the bed again.... She died on a Tuesday night. Things were all good yesterday, then the devil took your breath away. Now we're left here in the pain, black suit, black tie, standing in the rain. Her funeral was cloudy and the same day the album release date, June 23. This is the song of coincidences. Thanks, Ed. He brought me closer to my aunt.
A great song, with soft vibes ,singing about the purpose of grandfather in our light life, God bless Ed Sheeran.
Lyrics
Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain

Either way I'll cry with the rest of them
And my father told me, son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one
Although my grandma used to say, he used to say
Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside, a little while he wrote
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love oh

And my father and all of my family
Rise from the seats to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah
Literally had me welling up - this song really hits home.. Amazing.
Going on my first funeral ever tomorrow. Came back to this song. I'm even more in love with it now... rip 😢💔
My husband passed away last month from a massive heart attack. It was very sudden and unexpected. "Our song" was Afire Love. We're older people and are grandparents. I recently got a tattoo on my arm that says In Light In Life In love. Under that is my husband's heartbeat right before he passed away. The nurse's in the ICU department printed out my husband's last heartbeat before he flatlined. Under his heartbeat, it says To the love, We love, To love, We love. I'm thankful and grateful for that song Ed Sheeran 💕 thank you.
I take care of dementia patients. This means a lot to me especially since I lost my Grandmother to the disease. She thought I was my Mother! So I know how the disease affects the whole family. Thanks for putting it into words. We just have to remember who they really were. Thanks so much for all of your music.
Thanks for looking after grandad
Joe Shadrick
You're welcome. It is fulfilling as a nurse to practice end of life care. Sometimes we find the real person is still there. It doesn't matter that they think you or I are someone else. If that gives comfort what does it matter. Just visit them & love them.
I do and will :)
Joe Shadrick
OMG JUST IMAGINE HIM PERFORMING THIS DURING HIS CONCERTS....
It's gonna be one tearful ride.
Going to see him this Friday. So excited!!!!!!! Eeeeek!!!!!
I wish I was going to his concert, but I didn't get a ticket! And it sucks even more that I actually had a second chance, since they moved the place to a bigger place! :(
Can't wait...at least I can still count on him to sound good live instead of like something I'd make in GarageBand! :D
NancyLiin it's alright. there'll always be next time. Ed is a performer at heart, so he will always have great shows to go to (god willing). You will get your chance!
My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was 67 and went for years in a daze without a clue of who any of her children and grandchild were. She died at the age 94. The last words she spoke to me were "What a pretty girl you are, whats your name?"
I'm sorry to hear that my great grandma has Alzheimer's disease
September the first 2014 died my grandmother in maroc with Alzheimer, my grandmother, i've never met here without it ('cause i live in the netherlands and she in maroc D:) now my grandmother in netherland has it too D:
Yeah btw sorry my english is fucked up D:
Iklammetje x heel veel sterkte ❤
Dankjuh
My Grandfather passed away 4 years away and listening to this song about Ed's grandfather reminds me of that time again.
I live in a different state then he did and when we got the news, we took a plane and then a short drive to reach his funeral. And in that time it took us to get there I got a chance to reflect on all the moments we shared together and that we would never share any again. As soon as we arrive i broke into tears and barely stopped even after his pyre was taken away. He was an amazing grandpa and an amazing human being. Listening to this song made me reminisce about our times just as i had when we were on the flight to his funeral and it makes me sad but i know that he would not have wanted me to stay stuck up on the past.
So thank you for this beautiful song Ed.
Ok my dad died in June 2014,and i feel something in my feelings that i didnt come in his funeral,R.I.P dad.People just like my dad is rare,hes always there for me.
R.I.P. Love
Sad story,but true.
. RenzGxP i lost my mum in july 2014, so sorry for your loss
well,im a single child,no one to share this struggle,so i give it a try here on youtube
. RenzGxP Stay strong man, I know how you feel .
I love Ed Sherran, never change your music!
You love him that much to spell his name wrong...
+Danielle McDermid does it Matter? Shut up!
+BackTracks96 ;_;
Yes do always the same shit for the next 40 years
This song came out one year and five months after I lost my own grandfather to Alzheimer's. He suffered with it for four years before he finally passed away the day after Christmas.
Sending you love xx.
Thank you Charlotte Stack
Rest in peace
Thank you Hana Huang
I feel you darling
Ed is hands down the best songwriter ever 🙌🏼😭♥️
Now that i know the meaning behind this particular song, it gives me a deeper respect for Edward Christopher Sheeran.
The meaning behind is the song is pretty much explained in the song.
his grandfather passed away from Alzheimer's
yh i had a feeling that he was talking about Alzheimers
''its not his fault he does know your face''
They're both pretty straight forwards if you listen to the lyrics, Shape of you - song he wrote for Rihanna, but then he decided he preferred to keep it for himself. n Castle On The Hill is about his love of coming home & to friends in Suffolk
True story during school: So, I get to my homeroom, the morning after hearing this song after I bought Ed's album, "x". This song was stuck in my head, and I was crying inside a bit because I knew what the song was about (I might of teared up a bit, I don't know.). I wrote this on my desk: "Things were all good yesterday, until the devil took your memory~". My homeroom class is also my LA class/last period, and I sit in the same seat as I do in homeroom. So, when it's LA, people wrote the whole song down, and it was awesome that everyone dotted the "i"s with hearts. I started tearing up while we were reading, but I was just so happy everyone who sat there knew the lyrics. The last person wrote these words: "Ed, I know you will never read this, but I just have to write it. Dear Ed; You are the most amazing song writer ever. Every time I listen to your songs, they make me happy. And I also just have to say this: In your song, "Thinking Out Loud" you mention the crowds not remembering your name, and that the girl will always love you the same. I don't know if I count as a crowd, but I will always remember your name. From, Bryanna." The person who wrote that, was me. I just had to. The next day, the janitors cleaned it off the desk, but I remembered it perfectly. That made me want to type this here. Also, Ed, I'm really sorry about your grandfather.. Just remember; Your true fans & I will always be here for you~
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ this is amazing! no one in my school understands why i love his music so much, im glad the people in your school understand real beauty :)
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ Damn.... what an amazing story... I'm kinda jealous you have such a story to tell to other people... It makes my life look so boring and with nothing that interesting as what happened to you.... :/ well I'll depress you with my mood no longer... ;)
Kandon_Games I doubt your life is boring! And don't be jealous, it could happen to you but in a different way. Don't let your hope run out!
CHAVIVA HADAD Haha, yeah! But I'm sure there's some Sheeran fans roaming your school. :3
~.::Wolfcraft877::.~ Right. The true fans of Ed Sheeran don't just love him for what he does, I love him for who he is, his humility and what he has been through. Ed, you are my hero.
"With your body next to mine, our heart will beat as one" beautiful song. Totally loving it even though the story behind it is sad
this song is SO underrated, My brother has bought the "X" album and plays the album every time he drives so I also listen to this song every time we go someplace together so I've been listening to this song for multiple years now. This song is so good and so underrated I wish more people would listen to it.
Afire Love is the only song who make me cry everytime I listen this
Ugly cry! Every time!
also Heavens not to far by We Three
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Just be a good person. Do the right things in Life, and keep Believing in God. U Will see him in the Better Place. 👍
This is one of his best songs and means alot to me.
he got the voice , the guitare skills and he can performe very well that is why he is one of the best singers in the whole wild world for especially love songs
😑😑
and he sings for all the youngs
I keep coming back to this every year on my grandfathers birthday. It’s five years since he passed - also from Alzheimers, and I still cry when I hear this song.
The same still happens for me 5 years after my grandpa passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. Tears every time.
My favourite Ed Sheeran song!
finally someone(:
Same!
We have something in common :D
Tambien es mi favorita!
Moi aussi 😍
What I love about this song is the unique perspective under which he sings about his grandparents' love. We usually don't think about it in terms of passion and fire, but he was enough sensible to understand that such a love story was born and risen through flames. And even though people get old, and the way they care and feel about each others inevitably changes, they will always cherish how alive they felt together when they were young, beautiful and filled with desire.
I like his new album but nothing compares to this album. I don't skip any of the songs in this album.
Maybe I just need to listen to his new album more but I still love this one.
No, I'm with you. Every song on this album is special.
same here! thought i was the only one... this album is one of my favorites of all time
'_' ok...
i agree too
