    I will never forget the concert I saw him sing this at. It was the beginning of his career and he was so excited to be singing at a decent sized place (it was the Nokia theatre). He sang the ending with no mic or music and just let his voice echo through the theatre. He was so excited the people in the back could hear him. It was one of my favorite musical moments I’ve witnessed

      I say that because he sounds the same whether he sings in studios or talk shows. Normally when a singer comes on a talk show and sing, they sound so much worst than they do in the studios.

    I remember when my mum and dad went to see him in a tiny pop up show before he was famous. I was a massive fan of him back then but was just too young to go with them. I remember them coming back and telling me all about it, and how he asked everyone in the room to be completely silent so he could perform this song with the loop pedal. My mum even recorded my favourite song of his so I could watch a bit of the show. It’s still a very fond memory and I’m 16 now

    I was asked yesterday, if you could listen to one artist forever, who would it be? I showed them this video. Though I do not listen to him terribly often, he is a musical genius, he is an artist that simply CANNOT get sick of. There is nothing he can't do, his music can get me so hyped in a mater of seconds and that, to me, is the meaning of music. Whether you like his published music or not, you have to respect him as an artist. You have to respect the fact that he is able to completely make a song, using only his voice, in one take, in 4 minutes. That my friends, is extraordinary. -Robert/17

    Hard to believe I was first listening to this eight years ago and he's since gone from some awesome musician I found on TH-cam to someone who's name is everywhere. Okay, maybe not hard to believe, since I could immediately see how insanely talented he was, but it's still nuts. Seriously, Ed, congratulations. Looking forward to seeing you live again next time you come my way.

      I didn't like him at all when I saw him open up for Taylor last April. I'd actually never heard of him before her tour announcement. I think the reason I didn't like him is because the acoustics in that arena were HORRIBLE (it was in Atlanta, Georgia) and with his accent I couldn't understand anything he said. And he drug his songs out too long. But since then I've fallen in love with Lego House, I See Fire, Give Me Love, and A team. And this..this is my new favorite thing.
