“And, darling, I will be loving you ’til we’re 70
And, baby, my heart could still fall as hard at 23
And I’m thinking ’bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways
Maybe just the touch of a hand
Well, me—I fall in love with you every single day
And I just wanna tell you I am”
I will long this song for as long as I live. This is not a fad song in anyway, shape, or form. This is a song that you play at your wedding and anniversary. Ed Sheeran is a musical genius. There is not one bad thought that comes to mind when thinking about this song. I am head over hills with this song. I could listen to it on repeat for years and never ever get tired of it. When listening to this song I’m not even sure if i even listen to the melody or even the vocals of this song because the lyrics are just so powerful and sweet. This is the type of song that you just wish a boy would dedicate to you. Ed is definitely singing from his heart with this track. I would be so surprised if this song didn’t represent a real life love story. The lyrics are just that magical that they have to be about someone really special. Like, Seriously this is literally one of the best love song that is going to come from our generation guys. Shame on you if you have never heard this song Please don’t even tell me if you never listened to it.
“When my hair’s all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don’t remember my name
When my hands don’t play the strings the same way
I know you will still love me the same”
Not to mention how amazing the song is the video is epic! It’s a different, refreshing, and amazing to just look at. The video is Ed and a lovely lady performing a dance routine. Who knew he had moves like that ? Because I didn’t. The video definitely makes you want you take up a couple of dance classes. I definitely recommend the whole album because … it’s Ed. Top three songs on the album:
1.Thinking Out Loud
2.Photograph
3. Afire Love
No questions asked.
After making the comment saying that this had to be written for someone or have a story behind it, I did some research.
I was correct.
“Sheeran wrote this love song about his girlfriend, Athina Andrelos, who works for English celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.”
I’m a hopeless romantic. If you haven’t already noticed. But, don’t worry because my next couple song are going to be amazing! It will not be a romantic song. I have such a broad spectrum of music genres that I absolutely adore.
As always I will post the links below where you can check out the song, video, and lyrics. Let me know if you already have listened and like this song or if it’s new to you let me know how you feel about it.

I absolutely love this song, I listened to it on repeat for days until I learned all of the words. One of my friends made me watch the music video and it is probably one of the most refreshing romance mini-stories ever told. I loved the outline of your post, and I can’t wait to see what you write about next week!

Ed Sheeran is one of my favorite artists (it’s actually how me and one of my best friends bonded when we first met). This song in particular is such a great song. The melody is catchy and the mood it creates is one that is relaxing and comforting. Ed has so many good songs off of not only his most recent album, but his previous albums and collaborations. More notably, his recent collab with Hoodie Allen is definitely one you should look at if you’re a big Ed fan!

I love this song too, especially the music video because of the dancing! I only heard about it and have seen it since I’ve come to college (my music exposure was very small before coming here 🙂 ). I have really enjoyed being exposed to new music by a variety of people and Amanda and your blogs are definitely contributing!
