This just proves his raw talent. He's not like the other 'talented' singers that don't write their own songs and have their voice enhanced with auto-tune and various other edits. All Ed needs is his guitar and voice. Perfect.
I agree he has talent, but what he has more is SKILL. People often mistaken skills for talents. It's not like he was born with all this talent, he worked his a** off to be where he is now, so i would call him skilled rather than talented ;)
I once tried to cover this just for my own fun but then my brain realized I couldn't handle playing the right chords, rapping, and singing and that I am a untalented lump of potatoes next to Ed Sheeran.
VICTOR GILBERT it's a magazine. One of the editors dissed Ed publicly, so that line is about him saying he'll be better than they'll ever be (if I recall correctly)
After 4 years of practicing I finally am able to sing this entire masterpiece the same pace he does, that was an intense ride for this singer with a flow
rap music doesn't mean one type of music though, if you search deeper you'll find loads of rap similar to this that is more your style, it's just - most of - the rap that is more commercialized and loved by young people today isn't the best.
nobody writes lyrics like ed does. i love him because it seems like hes the only person who's put thought, love, and meaning into his work "just for the sake of it" in quite a long time. the world needed to see someone like this. im so happy hes making it despite all odds.
Everyone talks about how young he is and how this song seems like he's talking about how sure he is of himself and all that he's gone through, but people forget that (or don't really know) that ed has been doing this for years before the actual fame. This was his life since young teens so he hits it pretty spot on with the lyrics and he definitely is one of the best artist out there. He should be cocky. He has the talent so he's using it. He's bloody brilliant id say.
@@tonygueco1096 or give me love, also in de Live Room. Really old, but not less wonderfull. With textes that are wonderfull, you should listen to eraser, and than de live versioin of sbtv. That song is soo honest and i love it!
What y'all saying this ain't rap for?! Rap is about putting lyrics together on a beat or track and making em rhyme like a poem. Ed Sheeran does this with so much skill and creativity plus he plays guitar at the same time, I don't see many other rappers doing that! What makes it even more astounding is that he ain't even a rapper yet he's better than most popular rappers! Ed has a crazy talent that don't come often and just finished a tour at Wembley Stadium, its fine if you don't like him or this song but don't dare try saying this ain't rap or he can't rap cos you gotta either be deaf or brainwashed by the media. Just saying.
Yeah same version, but I meant that this take sounds as good if not better than the take that he recorded the album version in. Sorry for the confusion! But after a comparison I realised he plays the two aforementioned takes in different keys...interesting! :)
the extra verse is from "Dreamers" by Rizzle Kicks (REMIX featuring Pharoahe Monch, Hines, Professor Green,Ed Sheeran, Dappy, Foreign Beggars & Chali 2na) so i dont know if he could use it on the album
The best part is how they just say "one take" at the end. One take was all it took for that amazing performance. Ed is truly talented and just downright cool. One take...
'I never wanna be perfect cause I'm a singer you don't wanna see shirtless'.......battling the male, fame stereotype . No always but the masses do expect all to be flawless mentally and physically. My band will, hopefully, get big. Not to be famous. But to make an influence. We won't give into yhe expectations. I digress. All I'm saying is I love what Ed's saying.
Absolutely love this song. Ed is one of the artist that just does something to me. He can play guitar and has killer vocals. Not to mention his personality...*-* Ahhhhhhhhh I want to see him perform live so bad. Hope the best for ed. I am a Sheerio and PROUD!!!!
I wish I could like this video more than once because Ed is so brilliant and he deserves every bit of fame that he has and more!!! Thanks SBTV for sharing this epic song
JDTheProdigy Have you listened to his latest revised concert version? It's REALLY cool. He mashes up this song with Superstition and Ain't No Sunshine.

cant stop watching this video, i remember meeting Ed at the Channel AKA Christmas party in London years ago, he was such a humble guy and I said hed do well. Still that same humble guy but now a megastar. Such an inspiration, hard work really does pay off. Have a dream people - go chase it!!
I've never said this about a musician but I really would wanna meet him someday and shake his hand and just say man thanks for the unbelievable music !!!

A man that sells out Wembley 3 fucking nights in a row with a guitar and loop pedal and no band gives history #respect
Ed sheeran one of the small percentage of artists that sounds exactly how they sing in music videos
Couldn't be more right
Yes it's exactly the same on Spotify
+Calvin barot yeah no sound edits
+Marielle Sansig he also sounds the same on itunes
Honestly I think he's even better live.
Am I the only one who thinks this guy raps better than most actual rappers without even being one?
Hell no Ed sheeran is better than everyone
Jaiden Dudgeon not eminem
Soo Lin Yao especially eminem in my opinion.
that's coming from a fangirl who obviously sticks with 1D and JB. lol, i'd be damned if you aint
Soo Lin Yao Nope I don't like One Direction or Justin I just prefer rapping like Ed's compared to Eminem who is a little violet with his lyrics.
This just proves his raw talent. He's not like the other 'talented' singers that don't write their own songs and have their voice enhanced with auto-tune and various other edits.
All Ed needs is his guitar and voice.
Perfect.
You could say that again:)
I agree he has talent, but what he has more is SKILL. People often mistaken skills for talents. It's not like he was born with all this talent, he worked his a** off to be where he is now, so i would call him skilled rather than talented ;)
Jonas Kaikaris good point
I think he has both. I would never have sing and play like that, even if i did work for it Carmen Kaczkowski Jonas Kaikaris
Yes, without talent and passion for his craft he would be lacking in the skills. Which he is clearly not lacking anything. 💖
One of the best of our generation.
Never knew you liked the ginger god, Hugh.
hughwizzy The Best
No no, the best
The best
💯
I once tried to cover this just for my own fun but then my brain realized I couldn't handle playing the right chords, rapping, and singing and that I am a untalented lump of potatoes next to Ed Sheeran.
I can't do any of those things by themselves so you're better than me. XD
Like Ed says, just keep doing it and don't give up :)
This Song is Genious, i discovered it today and i needed oder one hour to sing the first Part without Playing the guitar
Keep trying
Try again, this time don’t compare yourself.
"But then I never had an enemy, except for NME,
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be"
Man it's... genious
What's NME stand for?
VICTOR GILBERT it's a magazine. One of the editors dissed Ed publicly, so that line is about him saying he'll be better than they'll ever be (if I recall correctly)
VICTOR GILBERT New Musical Express
hmmm and i thought he said
"But then i never had an enemy, except for the ed in me"
Rafael Verdugo bruh😂😂
wow
TheGrizzly Bear
Thank u mzy btw im a fan of callux so hes cool but still... Gayyy
Oh my gawd it's Callux! Please do more Roast battles
Hi, I hope your well. It is amazing. Hi Callux
hi callux
and now he has a grammy ...i feel like a proud mom
I have a grammy too! I had two until one carked it. She in heaven now. ;-;
@@Liam-fk3ll heaven doesn't exist
After 4 years of practicing I finally am able to sing this entire masterpiece the same pace he does, that was an intense ride for this singer with a flow
Damn
I love how even the microphone can't handle his high notes.
Jamie. We need you.
@@oebs1 reference to joe Rogan?
Rubber dinghy rapids absolutely makes this. Hahaha, what a boss
I am sure he has seen the film the "Four lions".Same phrase used. Love Ed and more respect
I'm not a rapper, im a singer with a flow. Hahaha
hoodie allen ft ed sheeran has this in it aswell
I'm not much of a fan of rap music but if it sounded anything like tTHAT , I would listen to that shit everyday wow
Lol there's so much rap similar to this. You can't judge any genre on face value.
rap music doesn't mean one type of music though, if you search deeper you'll find loads of rap similar to this that is more your style, it's just - most of - the rap that is more commercialized and loved by young people today isn't the best.
where do you think he found the inspiration....he says it in the song 'rhythm and blues' as in the sound has been out for decades
Examples?
there's loads of artist like this you fool..Grieves for instance
"I never try to win you over like a stepfather"..lol...classic
"No I don't ever wanna be perfect, 'cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless" HAHA I love him so much
RIP Jamal. F64 does you proud. Keep going SBTV team
7 years later and this man is still a legend,
"one take"
"Absence can make your heartbreak but Absinthe can change your mind state" No truer word!!!
"I'M NOT A RAPPER, I'M A SINGER WITH A FLOW"
Yeah, I know love.
Respect Ed Sheeran.
but his humming at 3:26 oh my goooooodddd
I can't, can he stop, like please, the a awesomeness of this is too much to comprehend...
The first time I heard Ed was on SBTV back in 2011, and here he is back on SBTV in 2014, and he's still as down to earth and talented as before!
This is soooooooooooo sick !
Your camera's audio quality isn't enough for Ed Sheeran's beautiful voice. xD
He's so FAST!!! Okay, I'm no native English speaker, but still... SO FAST!!!
Not a native English speaker but i could pretty much sing a long
nobody writes lyrics like ed does. i love him because it seems like hes the only person who's put thought, love, and meaning into his work "just for the sake of it" in quite a long time. the world needed to see someone like this. im so happy hes making it despite all odds.
probably the best lyrics ive ever heard
this is pure talent
Shocking to believe one person has this much "TALENT" running through their soul...RASPECT EDWARD!!!!
Everyone talks about how young he is and how this song seems like he's talking about how sure he is of himself and all that he's gone through, but people forget that (or don't really know) that ed has been doing this for years before the actual fame.

Funny, he plays guitar, sings, raps better than most people can do one of those
3 years late, but you should listen to his Live Room version of “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You”
@@tonygueco1096 or give me love, also in de Live Room. Really old, but not less wonderfull. With textes that are wonderfull, you should listen to eraser, and than de live versioin of sbtv. That song is soo honest and i love it!
@@tonygueco1096 2 years late, but imma listen to it now haha
@@Amir-iz8eh still epic stuff you’ll be glad you experienced it
@@dannywayne311 Any song i listen to from Ed is epic stuff
The mic couldn't handle Ed Sheeran's voice! 😂
Unbelievable. Generally no artist with this talent vocally or lyrically
of course its only one take - its Ed!
He makes it look so easy...
this man keeps it real, without a friend in the hostels introducing me to his music I dont think I'd be half as human as I am now, my full respect

never compare rap with poem you fking idiot
+ProGamer99 You are aware that RAP stands for rhythm and poetry right?
+Luke Savidge probably not. ProGamer99 is a pro I don't think our logic is as good as he is obviously. I mean he is a pro. It says so right there.
RyanOnline, bless your words. I agree with you 10000000 %.
He's not a rapper, he's a singer with a flow xD
Lol @ the "tight jeans" and the "Singer I would never want to see shirtless"
Ed bae ur perf.
"I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow." Damn right
who is watching this at 2016 and still loving this version?
Brenda Styles 2018!
@@laurenbauer670 2020!
Love that he's actually got his own flow, literally defined his genre! Admire this guy so much.
Possibly better than the album version! I will never understand how he breathes.
it is the same as studio version
Yeah same version, but I meant that this take sounds as good if not better than the take that he recorded the album version in. Sorry for the confusion! But after a comparison I realised he plays the two aforementioned takes in different keys...interesting! :)
This version with the extra verse at the end should have made the album
the extra verse is from "Dreamers" by Rizzle Kicks (REMIX featuring Pharoahe Monch, Hines, Professor Green,Ed Sheeran, Dappy, Foreign Beggars & Chali 2na) so i dont know if he could use it on the album
music industry misses ed sheeran
Ed is the best rapper. His raps are real, stories of his life. Take It Back, You Need Me, I Don't Need You, Eraser - his life in these songs and raps.
my heart just broke into a thousand tiny pieces for no real reason but I love this song
One take
***** One of the best
Still coming back to this in 2022 ❤
"I'll never try to win you over like your step-father." His bars go innnnn. Rubber Dingy Rapids Bro
Just when I thought I had the whole thing memorized, I find this version with a whole new verse at the end xD
Ed...bringing the noise as ever! So heavy...
Like when Eraser brought you back here
"And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed" hahahahah
Wow. Ed, you've really come so so far. I'm seriously so happy for you.
Yeah we can't deny ed can rap he always has but his voice is so powerful when he hits dat chorus gives me goosebumps everytime
The best part is how they just say "one take" at the end. One take was all it took for that amazing performance. Ed is truly talented and just downright cool. One take...
I love his style....the old and the new. He is brilliant,
I am American but I have felt for a long time that the best talent comes from the UK. They are so talented and have flavor!
'I never wanna be perfect cause I'm a singer you don't wanna see shirtless'.......battling the male, fame stereotype . No always but the masses do expect all to be flawless mentally and physically. My band will, hopefully, get big. Not to be famous. But to make an influence. We won't give into yhe expectations. I digress. All I'm saying is I love what Ed's saying.
You can just see the joy in his face when he sings. It's perfect

For all the millions Ed Sheeran is worth you can put a price on those kind of moments 🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP JAMAL 🙏🏾
i fucking love this man
Too much talent!
LITERALLY PERFECT
DUDE! THAT LAST VERSE!!! omg dude I never know what to expect from ed...Inspires the shit out of me man...
Eds one of the vary few singers that sounds amazing without autotune
Ed Sheeran + Guitar = Perfect combination
"Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless" aww 💕 he's wrong haha 😙
I thinks he prefers to justin bieber haha
I wish I could like this video more than once because Ed is so brilliant and he deserves every bit of fame that he has and more!!! Thanks SBTV for sharing this epic song
7 years later jamal is gone and 8 years later Ed does his jamal tribute as a kickoff to SBTV’s F64 for 2023 jamal will be missed
Love the subtle reference to Foy Vance in this tune :D Cant wait for the album!
Jamal filming❤
He said it himself 'you can't fake talent and work ethic.. just to make it quick'
why do u have to be so perfect ??
He’s soooo talented !!! He made me fall in love with music today again
Fair play. I wasn't a fan of Ed Sheeran's but I've got to give it up for him he smashed this.
He's actually amazing
I like this way better than the album version tbh. The album version seems kinda sped up
I agree!!
JDTheProdigy Have you listened to his latest revised concert version? It's REALLY cool. He mashes up this song with Superstition and Ain't No Sunshine.
***** no i haven't :( wish i could see him live
JDTheProdigy there are multiple videos!! I live through those concert videos vicariously because I've never seen him live either.
wow! Great singing. He's ridiculously talented.
I love this version of TAKE IT BACK.
I’m not a rapper I’m a singer with a flow
I’ve got habbit for spitting quicker lyrics you know
You find me ripping the written out of the pages they sit in
I never want to get bitten
Cos plagiarism is hidden
Watch how I sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signed to a label
But didn’t listen to any criticism
Thought you knew but you didn’t
So perk your ears up and listen
Studio is the system
And you could say that I’m driven
And now it’s onto the next saga
We drink the best larger
I’ll never try to win you over like your step father
I do my own thing now
And get respect after
And I’m avoiding the ‘caine
Like it was Get Carter
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it’s safe to say it that kept me grounded
Like a paper weight
And 16 years old yeah I moved out of my home
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
Went from sleeping at a subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
And adding to the population
Not my imagination
I don’t wanna relax
Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?
I take it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don’t you fade into the back love
No
I take it back with the rhythm and blues
With my rap pack I’ll be singing the news
Tryin’ act like Jack Black
When I bring it to school
I make a beat with my feet
By just hittin’ the loop
Bringing the lyrics to prove
That I can fit in these shoes
I give you the truth through the vocal booth
And stars burst out on the scene
Like an opal fruit
They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
But then again that’s what they’re supposed to do
And I’m supposed to be calm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
Is from now on
I’ll be ready to start again
By the end of the song
Since they are claiming I handled it wrong
But I’ve never had an enemy
Except the NME but I’ll be selling
Twice as many copies as their magazine will ever be
With all these spectacles ahead of me
And festival fess healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigree
Singing for the masses rubber dingied rapids
I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic
I’m battling for respect and I don’t know if I have it
This song from the heart covers the planet
Mmmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don’t you fade into the back love
No
And take it back now
Now I don’t ever wanna be perfect
Cos I’m a singer you never wanna see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone’s got to win worst dressed
Taken my first steps into the scene giving me focus
Putting on a brave face like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change thinking it was hopeless
Rhyming over recordings avoiding tradition
Cos every days a lyrics and the melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart ache
But drinking absinth can change your mind state
Vividly need to let my liver be
I’ll say it again living life on the edge with a close handful of friends
It’s good advice from the man that took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
Cos that how it’s supposed to be
I’m screaming out vocally
It might seem totally impossible achieving life’s dreams
But I just write schemes
I’m never having a stylist giving me tight jeans
Madison Square Garden is where I might be
But more likely you find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates having a pint of Mcdaid discussing records we made and every single second knowing that we’ll never betray the way we were raised remembering our background sat down, that’s how we plan it out
It’s time to take it back now
Mmmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don’t you fade into the back love
No
Mmm come on and take it back love
Come on and take it back for us
Don’t you fade into the back love
No
Clearly just copied off google, not even got the extended rap
Q
cant stop watching this video, i remember meeting Ed at the Channel AKA Christmas party in London years ago, he was such a humble guy and I said hed do well. Still that same humble guy but now a megastar. Such an inspiration, hard work really does pay off. Have a dream people - go chase it!!
And I'm like how does he remember the whole lyrics lol?
He wrote them
They dnt know what real music is...
his voice is so great like who sing, raps and can play guitar at the same time
good on ed for still coming back to where it all started, amazing stuff
Obviously 16 people were so blown away by Ed that they clicked the wrong button.
Yea but there are 324 now lol😂
He smashes another SB vid once again. Mad talented.
Does sb stands for?
@@RyuThe3rd Smokey Barz
Ed always brings fire!
This is brilliant thanks Jamal for making this happen!
He sings and he can rap! Is there something that Ed can't do?! One of the best singer-writer nowadays
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT ED DID 'ERASER' AND TAKE 'IT BACK' IN ONE TAKE??? FUCKING AWESOME
There is no reason to dislike this video, literally. Ed sheerans smashed it.
this is what i call REAL MUSIC
I've never said this about a musician but I really would wanna meet him someday and shake his hand and just say man thanks for the unbelievable music !!!
So talented, Ed is life
This is muuuuuuch better than the single. This is pure Ed Sheeran, pure talent.
