@@mightiii sorry it's a late reply but yeah I 100% agree with you. I was actually named after Lukas but that doesn't take away that Ed and Lukas are some of my favourite singers
jace welsh you got that right, not just in singing or playing the guitar but in song writing too. He writes so many songs for different artist, it's insane!!!
I’m impressed by the lyrics of the song and how connected he is while singing, you def can tell he wrote that little by little thinking of he’s hometown friends.
just because some celebrities that you never knew personally died and a political outcome didn't go your way doesn't mean that a year was bad. have some perspective if your a homeless child living in aleppo for the past year in constant civil war you could justifiably claim 2016 was horrible. if ur in ur air conditioned and heated home on your ipad whining on youtube about your problems i really don't see how you can say anything. global crime has dropped, there has been advancement in alzheimers and cancer treatment, child mortality rate has come down, tiger numbers are recovering, and panda numbers are recovering. humans have never had it better
I would sincerely like you to tell that face to face with a victim of the Orlando or Istanbul shooting. Or in the face of the homeless child in aleppo.
Ayyaz hashmi I gotta say that he was awesome on his own but now he is collaborating with people like Cardi B and imo it’s going to be his downfall. He needs to stick to what he’s good at and that’s awesome songs on the guitar and singing. I’ve been playing guitar for a long time myself (since 16 on and off to 35 today) and he makes very complex songs on the guitar that come together beautifully and I myself have a hard time keeping up with some of his songs. Put it together with that great voice of his and he makes some really good acoustic music. I just wish he’d go back to his roots and stray away from collaborating with the wrong artists like her for example. They are two totally different music styles that do not go together at all. He is a good artist but I see him slipping away lately and it’s a shame.
Demon50 true. He’s had 3 good albums but now his songs are bad, mainly because he’s collaborating with other mainstream artists like Justin Bieber, Cardi B and more
Mark Smith No one can do it better than him simply cause this is his style and you can't modify it. This song was meant to be Ed's, to be played on a guitar by his voice. Then there are song like cancer by MCR that can be modified and, personally, I like tøp's cover more than the original one
He's talking about the castle in Framlingham, I'm from there too, so I can picture exactly what he's singing about. The country lanes and the castle on the hill, it makes the song even more beautiful.
I think this is one of Ed's best songs. What a brilliant way to say thank you to the friends who helped shape his life. No wonder he cannot wait to go home.
talent??????????? Every average singer can sing as Ed Sheeran! He is so mediocre! There are no true singers nowadays, maybe only Elton John and Bruce Springsteen! And is auto-tune( not autotune)
Rich Giroux Chill out, not in history, there are a TON of people that are amazing at songwriting and telling a story. I'm in no way hating on Ed though
Something really incredible about Teddy is how he manages to somehow make so many songs with so "simple" yet profoundly chords: C, D, F, A. It's amazing how different they all sound
What I love about this lad is that even though he's so big around the world he hasn't allowed that success to go to his head and inflate his ego or his sense of self entitlement. He's still the same man who busked on street corners and he never lost touch with his roots either. He still hangs out with his friends from his school days, he's a genuine and down to earth lad and any good cause that's anywhere near him he'll drop in and support it however he can. He's the definition of what a role model a musician should be to the younger generations and that is even though you're talented and driven you should also be humble and stay true to yourself and never forget where you came from. Every other musician and band can learn a lot from the lad. Never change Ed!
Colby S I'm totally with you. There's a difference between a cracking voice and the falsetto you use from a stylistic standpoint. Also in the studio Version you can hear his voice getting distorted by accident when he's going high in his range. Still he's an outstanding artist and I love the way he approaches the lyric-writing.
I prefer watching this video over the official lyric video since I can see his gorgeous face here. Some people may disagree but for me, he's really handsome. 😍
@@FernandoHDutra do you know the strumming of Photograph? If so, play it a lot faster and you're set. If not: Ddd - Ddd - DdU D = down d = down on strings E, A and D U = up Palm mute a bit on the verses and play normally on the chorus The last bit of the song ("one friend left to sell clothes... I can't wait to go home") uses the chords Bm G D A I recommend Cifra Club's lesson on the song, it's in Portuguese but it's got a lot of diagrams to help you understand it. BTW, the same strumming can be used to play "I'm a Mess"
I'd be honored if some Ed Sheeran fans who appreciate 80s/90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN by Prince and PRAYING FOR TIME by George Michael on my YT channel in tribute to 2 of the greatest vocalist-songwriters in music history. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends of both yesterday and today.
I really enjoy this acoustic version. I feel like it really helps convey the story he is telling through this song of simpler times, and how he misses the way things used to be back home.
Incredible! The power he creates with just an acoustic guitar. So great to see new artists who aren't tied to looping, sampling, electronics, etc. An artist with a guitar is still my favorite music. Love it!!!
You are a legend, folk. Life is about people, the people that we refer to in our story..."take me back to when we found weekend jobs, we got paid, buy cheap spirits and drink them straight.." I really relate to this. Much love from Uganda Africa...
Really not that hard in this instance. Not to discredit his songwriting ability but this song, as with most pop songs, can be played by just moving two fingers. Play a G chord and your ring and pinky fingers don't have to move for the entire song. Wonderwall, for example, is exactly the same.
People who dislikes this video is it because his voice or him? Because they are no reason to hit the dislike button. I find him interesting and his songs are superb. He can make great and wonderful music by just using guitar. His voice is amazing. There are songs where he hits falsetto and i recommend u guys to go n listen to Ed Sheeran - One.. This song is great!
I remember hearing a producer back in the early 70’s saying that the most amazing performance he ever saw was Cat Stevens with an acoustic guitar playing Father and Son in his office. This reminds me of that. From a guitar standpoint, it’s not that hard to play but it’s very challenging to play and sing the lyrics - in time - and with that emotion. This is every bit of Father and Son. I’m 60 and I do believe that the greatest rock and maybe even pop is in the past, but damn, Ed is amazing. He’s a call back and would flourish in the 50’s and the 2020’s. Love this guy!
This song is so beautiful. And although, Im not from England.. I am from NYC, this song still makes me nostalgic for my home, and allows me to remember all the great times I had a child/teen/YA. This song is so special... Thank You
Ed Sheeran, the only singer to give you goosebumps and songs without sex lines or swearing lyrics, he's just one of those guys that needs to be known in future and when he's gone
Everytime Ed sings/playing his guitar, he pours his heart and soul to it you can clearly see how much music means to him❤️.We 're so lucky that he shares his music with us.
Ps3 Uploader what if this person was actually gay? I don't see any problem with that. You can take your homophobic shitty comment and stick it in your ass, thank you.
Castle on the hill Lyrics: When I was six years old, I broke my leg I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down I was younger then, take me back to when I Found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long I know I've grown, but I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes Running from the law through the backfields and Getting drunk with my friends Had my first kiss on a Friday night I don't reckon that I did it right, but I was younger then, take me back to when We found weekend jobs, when we got paid We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long Oh, how we've grown, but I can't wait to go home I'm on my way Driving at 90 down those country lanes Singing to Tiny Dancer And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill One friend left to sell clothes One works down by the coast One had two kids, but lives alone One's brother overdosed One's already on his second wife One's just barely getting by, but These people raised me And I can't wait to go home And I'm on my way I still remember these old country lanes When we did not know the answers And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill Over the castle on the hill
Kirby208 They know what songs will hit the most people, since the shape of you is more "poppy" and appeal to more people than it was made a single, unfortunately of course because this song, barcelona, and nancy mulligan, dive and some others are even better. I think I got too worn out of "shape of you" given how much they play it on the radio
Kevin Young ed was unknown for like 5 years too and got noticed by his talent in 2011. but its the sad truth.. some people with a lot of talent don't get noticed these days.
Maariya Nr Have you heard John Mayer? his lyrics and guitar playing? Don't act like Ed is the best.. so many underrated musicians and there's Ed getting hype up for writing this shitty song with a predictable copycat chords and a very weak lyrics. one of the main reason why he's popular is because he's young and all these teenage people act like they've never heard anyone like Ed pffft... how many Jack Johnsons do we need to hear? stupid kids
don't take this seriously, i know john mayer and all of his songs. this is an Ed Sheeran video so what do you expect? I believe that Mayer is a better guitar player but Ed inspired a lot of people.. especially in this generaion. Mayer inspired a lot of people from the past and Ed idolizes him as well. Ed was even honored bc Mayer played with him live in the grammys. musicians acknowledge themselves.. Mayer rose to fame bc of his skills and so is Ed. Just like how Elton John passed his torch to Ed. (source: a lot of interviews and documentaries lol) peace man! I think its Ed's time to shine. and he does his talent with a loop station. a lot of artists can't do that as well as Ed.
holy shit not only this song, but this version of it gave me fucking chills😍😍 Ed Sheeran is one of the few artists who's so real and genuine ugh I love his music
I'm a die hard death metal fan and I can honestly say that Ed Sheeran is one of the best artists on the planet. True talent. True emotion. True guitar skills. True vocals. I want to get a beer with this guy.

This instantly put me in the best mood ! Missed Ed so much x
I HAVE TO COVER THIS SONG ASAP
ME TOO !!!!
Me tooooo!!!!
this man sounds exactly the same live as studio recording. The pop industry needs more of those.
Correction: He sounds even better live ❤️
yes he definitely sounds better❤❤
You should see him in concert. It's a magical experience.
Daniella Den Haag wait wait wait are you Ed Sheeran's fan and also a sinner ? Or you only find Dallon attractive?
Frick i'm spotting Dallon ily
Ed sheeran is just a treasure to this world
doge :)
Yaaaas
Yes, he is a lyrical genius.
yeah right right ^_^ and i think we should also thank the one who discovered him... you know..
HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🤓😏 HE MUST GET A LOAD OF THIS🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Ed Sheeran is unbelievable live! He sounds just as good live as recorded. Not many musicians can do that.
Everson1969 when musicians can sound great live they are true artists!
Check out Lukas Graham also he's an amazing singer and sounds even better in he's live performance than in his studio version
@@mightiii sorry it's a late reply but yeah I 100% agree with you. I was actually named after Lukas but that doesn't take away that Ed and Lukas are some of my favourite singers
I feel he sounds better live
Check out this cover of 'Castle on the hill'. I'm pretty sure you will love this.
th-cam.com/video/A9iAfOReTww/w-d-xo.html
Ed Sheeran singing acoustic version always makes the song 100 times better. Also, i love his smile at the end like, "It's good to be back"
PREACH
The EXO Audio I KNOW
The EXO Audio I agree he's amazing
I think he smiled because the guitar got so out of tune at the end, lmao
The EXO Audio
New album, new guitar, new era... Still the same humble and insanely talented musician
YEAH, HE IS.
Same guitar, different sticker
That's what I meant, oops 😉
That's actually a brand new guitar. He said it in the interview
Still a Martin Mini, or different model?
Fucking hell, I'm crying. Pure emotion, pure talent. Thank you Ed, it's only January and you've already made my year!
Christopher Taylor As a ravenclaw, I agree with you.
Christopher Taylor I see your a Ravenclaw
Ammar Alin something tells me he might be more hufflepuff?
The sorting head has some sorting to do xD
Gaaaay
Most talented musician right now. The best.
jace welsh you got that right, not just in singing or playing the guitar but in song writing too. He writes so many songs for different artist, it's insane!!!
Brendon Urie
i think Bruno is more talented but i got them both in my top 2 for sure
Xavier Estallo Bruno can’t sing he’s just a Michael Jackson ripoff
@@XavierEstallo lol
so he returns with AMAZING songs
Forever Alone
Hey dude, so why are people saying "he returns" sorry idk. He hadn't relesead a song in a while?
Kevin López he as been away for a while not even posting anything on social media and basically disappearing
yeah and he took a one year break
YES, THESE ACOUSTIC SONGS ARE SOOOOOO AMAZING !!!!!
he said he was taking a year long break, so he kind of disappeared during 2016
we don't deserve Ed. he's too good for us.
Gabby Adams that's true
Yes, he's too good for us.
Gabby Adams Yeah.. Ed's OVER 9000!
Ed? I thought this was Ron weasley
Corné Keetels Nope! Ahahaha
6 days into 2017 and you already made my year
YEAH.
Princess Consuela Bananahammock so true!!😌
yeah
Princess Consuela Bananahammock omg phoebe!! hi!! 😂😂
Couldn't have said it better, Princess Consuela Bananahammock ♡
I’m impressed by the lyrics of the song and how connected he is while singing, you def can tell he wrote that little by little thinking of he’s hometown friends.
I'm not sure about that. Most of the songwriters can write a song in 3 hours 😅
I don't know much about this guy, but I like how he's actually playing an instrument & singing without autotune.
Hank Hill I agree
Hank Hill the auto tune is integrated inside of him hank
true. His voice is amazing
Hank Hill a rarity among solo mainstream artists. And he doesn't use a band when playing live either
He has the best voice
Ed needs to drop an all acoustic album. Just his voice and a guitar, yes please!
Lindsey Saucier YES
Lindsey Saucier good shout
Sing will be sounds terrible
Why do u have to be like that dude.
Lindsey Saucier he should Sam hunt did the same he did all his studio songs in acoustic versions it was flawless
After horrible 2016, Ed comes back and saves 2017 :)
Captain Cubecraft
What was so bad about 2016?
anthony-y haha your funny
Ravva gerra
Okay fine Prince and David Bowie died. What else?

Ed Sheeran saved the music industry
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Even I had a giggle. And I'm pretty poker faced. Cheers for that.
But evil forces still coming
Ayyaz hashmi
I gotta say that he was awesome on his own but now he is collaborating with people like Cardi B and imo it’s going to be his downfall.
He needs to stick to what he’s good at and that’s awesome songs on the guitar and singing.
I’ve been playing guitar for a long time myself (since 16 on and off to 35 today) and he makes very complex songs on the guitar that come together beautifully and I myself have a hard time keeping up with some of his songs.

Demon50 true. He’s had 3 good albums but now his songs are bad, mainly because he’s collaborating with other mainstream artists like Justin Bieber, Cardi B and more
Whats good about Ed is that he sings for himself, not for us, and this is what makes him a true artist !!
exactly!
This is so beautiful for a live performance. Other singers can't perform at this level live.
1000 % AGREED.
I know one who can do it better
Mark Smith No one can do it better than him simply cause this is his style and you can't modify it. This song was meant to be Ed's, to be played on a guitar by his voice. Then there are song like cancer by MCR that can be modified and, personally, I like tøp's cover more than the original one
Chiars ; I bet if James Arthur covered this your mind would be changed erratically lol If you ain't heard of him, thank me later

i love the divide stickers on his guitar
kay angelica it's a whole new guitar, it's in he wood and down the neck
ME TOO.
Emily Norris really?! that's so cool
Yeah it also looks like they are inlaid into the neck and head too. The guitar has such a nice tone.
kay angelica you can also tell it's a new guitar from the shark on the neck of the guitar! (It was an lizard on the old one) it's so cute hahha
I am crying this is pure art
nadda bbbn
ikt
nadda lol !
nadda can you relate? You have hijab, he's talking about drinking and shit. 😑
Saed Hussein your point is? just enjoy the music or leave.
He's talking about the castle in Framlingham, I'm from there too, so I can picture exactly what he's singing about. The country lanes and the castle on the hill, it makes the song even more beautiful.
Michal Wspanialy i'll google your castle. sounds beautiful
and it does beautiful 😊
My cousins are from Aldebrugh and we've been to Framlingham castle a couple times
Yeah, Ed grew up in Framlingham.
It is amazing! I live an hour and a half away from it. I love that he's written a song about it 👍
I think this is one of Ed's best songs. What a brilliant way to say thank you to the friends who helped shape his life. No wonder he cannot wait to go home.
So much true talent... No nudity and autotune bs like most other pop artists now
Sumaya s I'm glad that you recognize that because everyone is an idiot and that's all they live for. it's all talentless filth.
talent??????????? Every average singer can sing as Ed Sheeran! He is so mediocre! There are no true singers nowadays, maybe only Elton John and Bruce Springsteen! And is auto-tune( not autotune)
Vilma Oropeza No. It's harder than you think.
Vilma Oropeza you miss, have no taste in music.
Vilma Oropeza you miss, are a fucking idiot.
This song proves that Ed belongs with the greatest song writers in music history. His songs (unlike most so called music artist today) tells a story.
Rich Giroux ummm, it's a cover dude
zenopsu no
Rich Giroux Chill out, not in history, there are a TON of people that are amazing at songwriting and telling a story. I'm in no way hating on Ed though
zenopsu how is it a cover mate?
It's no cover Ed sheeran writes his own songs
haha am i the only one who always prefers Ed's acoustic sound more than the actual studio recording?
ED ALWAYS KILLS IT
Typical Ed. Great in recordings, mind blowing live
YASS! Ed Sheeran is actually really talented, not like these other singers nowadays.
Mert Ulusoy that's why we pay to see him live lol
I LOVE BOTH !!!
Something really incredible about Teddy is how he manages to somehow make so many songs with so "simple" yet profoundly chords: C, D, F, A. It's amazing how different they all sound
What I love about this lad is that even though he's so big around the world he hasn't allowed that success to go to his head and inflate his ego or his sense of self entitlement.

Wow
Derek Collins thats because his mom taught him to stay good with everyone.. And these are hiscown words 😍
True words!
such an amazing comment and all of it is true as
well !!
You are Goddamn Right!
that little falsetto infliction when he says castle just kills me
Nahhh that's not a voice crack. He does it every time he says 'castle'. It's also on the studio version.
so true
Colby S I'm totally with you. There's a difference between a cracking voice and the falsetto you use from a stylistic standpoint. Also in the studio Version you can hear his voice getting distorted by accident when he's going high in his range.
Still he's an outstanding artist and I love the way he approaches the lyric-writing.
AndilLer - it's not distorted he is just pushing harder to get the grittier sound
hes just pushing his voice its an technique not voice crack
can we appreciate his voice and that sounds exactly like the song? that means that the didnt retouch the song
laura lorca obviusly he did, less than other artists for sure, but he did
TheKillerNuw yas, that's what i meant 😳
Ups okey 😅 #loveEd
laura lorca this is why he is the best
laura lorca yassssss i just think it just when the songs starts😂
8 years later and it's still in the back of my head. Memorized word for word.

Natty Ellis Lol. Thanks Natty! 😊
my favourite thing about watching ed perform is once he's done he does this cute lil proud smile and it just makes my heart happy
There's so many new fans it's crazy. I started listening to him in 2012 and he only had 1 million twitter followers now he has 16.
Jaime N and what's. he is so amazing and can get all the followers though the years.
Jaime N I know right! I remember seeing him live in 2012 and it cost me £25!!!!
Kira Davies I was a big fan of him since 2012 and cost me £60 a ticket each but then again his talent is amazing so it's worth it
Kira Davies also seen him live in 2014
Jaime N same!
He sounds exactly the same live as recorded and THAT is something you just don't hear anymore. Amazing job Ed!
It's 4:40am, I'm in my bed, crying over this because it's so damn beautiful. Good job, Ed. Love you. xx💜
Arie DubRoy same here
***** Omggg Annaaaa hahahahah so coooool😂
this guy sings from the bottom of his heart!!
He closed his eyes so that he can recall his childhood memories,a song only sound good with feelings
only music that talk about your life is meaningful
I agree. And the lyrics. They bring back so many memories.

You are a legend, folk. Life is about people, the people that we refer to in our story..."take me back to when we found weekend jobs, we got paid, buy cheap spirits and drink them straight.." I really relate to this. Much love from Uganda Africa...
HOWW CANN HE PLAY THE GUITAR THAT GOOD WITH HIS EYES CLOSED!!!! WTF i cant even play it with my eyes open LMAO
absolutely love this song
There are people who sing with their eyes closed because it gives them feeling. And he plays well because of practice, I know you can.
Practice and you will achieve :)
Muscle Memory I guess
Really not that hard in this instance. Not to discredit his songwriting ability but this song, as with most pop songs, can be played by just moving two fingers. Play a G chord and your ring and pinky fingers don't have to move for the entire song. Wonderwall, for example, is exactly the same.
People who dislikes this video is it because his voice or him? Because they are no reason to hit the dislike button. I find him interesting and his songs are superb. He can make great and wonderful music by just using guitar. His voice is amazing. There are songs where he hits falsetto and i recommend u guys to go n listen to Ed Sheeran - One.. This song is great!
Those aren't dislikes, they are Australian likes
Adam Carlos I'm from Greece and I love Ed's voice
Eirhnh2003 Bro i'm from Malaysia :) Yes i love his voice too!
nhoj084eva LOL😂
YEAH, he is amazing.
I prefer this acoustic version then the lyric video
F M. Than*
Rinne tensei no jutsu.
or :prefer this to that, or prefer this rather than that.
I also prefer watching this THEN watching the lyric video.
Warrenoh
but that doesn't make much sense though (also not correct)
I remember hearing a producer back in the early 70’s saying that the most amazing performance he ever saw was Cat Stevens with an acoustic guitar playing Father and Son in his office. This reminds me of that. From a guitar standpoint, it’s not that hard to play but it’s very challenging to play and sing the lyrics - in time - and with that emotion. This is every bit of Father and Son. I’m 60 and I do believe that the greatest rock and maybe even pop is in the past, but damn, Ed is amazing. He’s a call back and would flourish in the 50’s and the 2020’s. Love this guy!
I get eargasm everytime he says "castle". Or am I the only one that noticed how perfect it is?
Altiverse his pronunciation is fucking good
Altiverse it does actually sound amazing the way he says it lol
Altiverse It sounds like: over the castle, only you
Altiverse I think it's partly his accent.
Altiverse yess the voice crack and "watched" is good too
Thank you for saving 2017 so early #WelcomeBackEd
for every line I have a memory, even though I never had freedom of having beautiful memories.
nivedita bhalla i've never related to something so much
I made a cover of this on my channel it would mean a lot if you could check it out xx
+Kate nice I'll sub xx
This song is so beautiful. And although, Im not from England.. I am from NYC, this song still makes me nostalgic for my home, and allows me to remember all the great times I had a child/teen/YA. This song is so special... Thank You
Ed Sheeran, the only singer to give you goosebumps and songs without sex lines or swearing lyrics, he's just one of those guys that needs to be known in future and when he's gone
I love the fact that he has his eyes closed through the whole performance ♥
Me too.
Me too 😍💗
Acoustic is always better
Ignacio Garijo Campos I hope he releases a full album of just pure live acoustic songs.. That will be the day a miracle is born.
May Ed Sheeran listen to you man...
Vivienne Doan i would be buying that while crying tears of joy
That Random Guy So would I!! Now, where's the petition?!?! We need to persuade Ed and make this happen hahaha
Ignacio Garijo Campos especially with ed's songs
He has the voice of an angel
●|●
Is_a_bella Channel English angel?
Elisee Normil i think she is right,angel is angel
LMAO !!! :D
The amount of passion in his voice is incredible
Castle on the hill is better than Shape of you for me :)
MariaAguado _33 for me either
MariaAguado _33 samee💋
MariaAguado _33 Very Yrue
MariaAguado _33 much better
nope both are great
Ed Sheeran is an amazing genuine singer, no autotune or lip syncing for him :)
the story of that scar is honestly the best thing ever
Everytime Ed sings/playing his guitar, he pours his heart and soul to it you can clearly see how much music means to him❤️.We 're so lucky that he shares his music with us.
Damn I'm concentrating on the way his lips moves than listening to his amazing voice!
Ps3 Uploader what if this person was actually gay? I don't see any problem with that.
You can take your homophobic shitty comment and stick it in your ass, thank you.
Vaishu Subramaniam
Vaishu Subramaniam your obsessed!!!! consult your doctor

Chords:

Between the D and G he plays D/F , the song has a bridge as well that goes BM G D A
Your voice makes me tear up. Literally you are the most talented singer I've ever listened to. I LOVE U AND CANT WAIT FOR THE ALBUM
Castle on the hill
Lyrics:
When I was six years old, I broke my leg
I was running from my brother and his friends
And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down
I was younger then, take me back to when I
Found my heart and broke it here
Made friends and lost them through the years
And I've not seen the roaring fields in so long
I know I've grown, but I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Fifteen years old and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the law through the backfields and
Getting drunk with my friends
Had my first kiss on a Friday night
I don't reckon that I did it right, but
I was younger then, take me back to when
We found weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd buy cheap spirits and drink them straight
Me and my friends have not thrown up in so long
Oh, how we've grown, but I can't wait to go home
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to Tiny Dancer
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids, but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by, but
These people raised me
And I can't wait to go home
And I'm on my way
I still remember these old country lanes
When we did not know the answers
And I miss the way you make me feel, and it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Over the castle on the hill
Thank you so much
You don’t really have to print these lyrics. I’ve lived every line. I’ll never forget them. Ed just sang my life!
The best way to start 2017, listen to Ed Sheeran's songs! 😍
I think this is way better than "The Shape of You"
Agree with you
Yeah but both are still good
kirby i agree with you
Kirby208 They know what songs will hit the most people, since the shape of you is more "poppy" and appeal to more people than it was made a single, unfortunately of course because this song, barcelona, and nancy mulligan, dive and some others are even better. I think I got too worn out of "shape of you" given how much they play it on the radio
Duh!
that scar is real.
Jake Howden how did he get that I wonder?
Ohh wait was that the sword incident?😱
.
yep that's the sword incident, now he look badass
Jake Howden ok at first i thought you meant the song, and i was like wow that's poetic, but yeah the real scar is also big
*cries from the pure beauty of this song and the emotions*
imo this is ridiculously better than the normal version
Nostalgic 💙 and that sticker on his guitar tho 😍➗
YEAH.
Is not a sticker, this guitar was made for him.
10 points to Gryffindor.
Kate Gleave I think this deserves 20
Kate Gleave I don't know probably deserves 100 points.
Kate Gleave I love Harry Potter movies too there the greatest and haha I know why you said that looks like old Ronald weasley old Rupert Grint haha
Matthew Wainwright 😉
Kate Gleave 50 points to slytherin
This song is the definition of a deep emotional song. I LOVE IT SO MUCH.
blows my mind how ed sheeran is as big as he is but a lyrical genius like david ford is unknown.
Kevin Young ed was unknown for like 5 years too and got noticed by his talent in 2011. but its the sad truth.. some people with a lot of talent don't get noticed these days.
Shannon Kyle Punongbayan he is talented but not THAT great. i think his success is helped by great guitar bands being non existant right now.
very well said! Maariya Nr! :)
Maariya Nr Have you heard John Mayer? his lyrics and guitar playing? Don't act like Ed is the best.. so many underrated musicians and there's Ed getting hype up for writing this shitty song with a predictable copycat chords and a very weak lyrics. one of the main reason why he's popular is because he's young and all these teenage people act like they've never heard anyone like Ed pffft... how many Jack Johnsons do we need to hear? stupid kids
don't take this seriously, i know john mayer and all of his songs. this is an Ed Sheeran video so what do you expect? I believe that Mayer is a better guitar player but Ed inspired a lot of people.. especially in this generaion. Mayer inspired a lot of people from the past and Ed idolizes him as well. Ed was even honored bc Mayer played with him live in the grammys.
musicians acknowledge themselves.. Mayer rose to fame bc of his skills and so is Ed. Just like how Elton John passed his torch to Ed. (source: a lot of interviews and documentaries lol) peace man!
I think its Ed's time to shine. and he does his talent with a loop station. a lot of artists can't do that as well as Ed.
I AM READY 2017, I AM SO FVKIN READY :D
WE ARE MORE THAN READY. MDFAKER..
COME HERE 2017, COME TO PAPA :D
khniksqj sjiwzk well how you get on lad? Much craic?
holy shit not only this song, but this version of it gave me fucking chills😍😍 Ed Sheeran is one of the few artists who's so real and genuine ugh I love his music
I'm simple guy, I hear Ed Sheeran, I like.
Ron Weasley messed up lyrics, he meant "Driving at 90, High up, at those country clouds."
rivor2 lmao 😂😂
Flying not driving the car crashed in the chamber of secrets
+sengastar Lmao I salute you 😂
rivor2 in the flying car

this song is so flawless 😍
Luisa Ospina fawless?? 😂😂😂
Luisa Ospina it's flawless ma'am ^^ 😂
Luisa Ospina sleep better!! thanks mam!!!! cool
Luisa, Unlike your spelling (jk)
BL Productions
I dont care what anyone says - this guy is the most talented singer in the world!
I'm a die hard death metal fan and I can honestly say that Ed Sheeran is one of the best artists on the planet. True talent. True emotion. True guitar skills. True vocals. I want to get a beer with this guy.
Great song about ron weasley's experience in hogwarts
HAHAHAH!
omg you just made my day hahahahhaaha
Gabriel Toledo hahahah
Gabriel Toledo who could possibly the one overdosed?!😂😂😂
Gabriel Toledo oh my god
This is one of the reasons why i love Ed he doesnt needs an autotone
Hinse Kottmann 9
"and i miss the way you make me feell"
Welcome back Ed!
this human being is unbelievable! so much love and respect for this artist! #edsheeran
I love live acoustic guitars myself. I'm just in love with the way they sound and then with his voice........perfection.
he is one of a musician I always come back to listen to. this is rare nowadays.
music with message and class. love it.
Why is there a scar on his cheek? Damn I didn't know how much I missed seeing him until now. That voice, that face
Phuong Dang Princess Beatrice accidentally sliced his cheek with a sword when she attempted to "knight" James Blunt at a party.
The funny part is that the sword wasn't actually blunt.
This is so funny
From that day forward he was known as Sir James Sharp
Sana A Someone explain this to me
THIS SONG IS AWESOME! Great job, Ed!
YES. I LOVE ALL ED'S SONGS, THEY ARE ALL AMAZING, BUT THIS SONG IS ED'S BEST SONG
Definitely haha
Ksenija Jemensek Totally agree. Personally prefer the single for the vocal harmonies on the chorus..
