So glad the industry didn't ruin him. He's as genuine now as when he started, and I love it.

[@stacey738]

I was worried for a couple of years there, especially Eraser. But he's come out of it and I'm just so glad he did. He's seemed to get right what so much of the music industry doesn't.

[@JamesKovacic]

It ruined his music

[@stacey738]

@@JamesKovacic eh, it happens to everyone. I agree his earlier stuff was better but some of the B side tracks are still reminiscent of the old days. He's rich enough to be able to do whatever tf he pleases in the future, maybe old Ed will come out again :D

[@karlarosas1424]

@@stacey738 Well he did say the next album was probably going to be what would push him away from the spotlight, meaning he was going to do it for himself rather than the records, or doing something people wouldn't expect (something like that), of course that was back when divide came out, so who knows what he would do, but Ed is now in a position to do whatever he wants with his music, he has nothing left to proof, divide was the commercial project and brought him lots of achievements and milestones, he has no need for another divide.

@EVERYBODY&EVERYTHING IS EXTREMELY AFFRAID OF ME!!! Said the human.

[@DaliCharlesQin]

This interviewer is phenomenal. He just let him talk and ask excellent questions. Great work!

[@IndigoHeartsBlue]

I think the opposite... it annoyed me how he would ask 3 or 4 questions in one go. For example from 12:56. Any good interviewer knows to ask “how did you feel?” rather than, “did you feel like this or this?”

[@sabrinageorgi3680]

Do you know who the interviewer is?

[@DaliCharlesQin]

@@IndigoHeartsBlue interesting perspective. I'd like to think that he was trying to frame the question narrower so Sheeran understands more precisely and can offer better answers. You could see in 12:56 that there was a pause after the initial question. I'm guessing James sensed that Sheeran didn't quite get the question so he elaborated more. It's a tough balance to find tbh. Overall, I think he did really well.

[@DaliCharlesQin]

@@sabrinageorgi3680 I just did some research and followed him on IG. Seems to be a legend of his own 🙌🏼

[@86sineadw]

He's actively listening, good paraphrasing while still being engaged, he's relaxed, he asks questions and gives some examples to make his questions clearer. Like the questions about hurdles etc. No interviewer can be perfect, they're human. But this is a pretty good interview in comparison to some of the muck, fake, interrupting, contradicting interviews we see a lot of nowadays

So true. He would be an amazing father. Such a mind pure heart. So intellectual and he explains things so simply and beautifully so anyone can grasp it. I hope he knocks cherry up very soon.

hearing an artist as huge as ed talk about anxiety (specifically social anxiety) is incredibly helpful. i get panic attacks pretty similar to ed in normal situations (i’m a student so they happen in class a lot), but i can perform in front of crowds still. it’s just helpful to know that the people we put on pedestals aren’t immune.

@teddyistheonlyone : I was listening to a really good Interview with Ed Sheeran . About finding peace at the top of the music industry . Ed talks about his earlier years and the and sruggles with trying to work your way up the latter and remain genuine with that kind of life changes you. And not all ways in a positive light , problems start to make things worse for me ..I started having anxiety issues like social anxiety in small places but fine in concert venues he did well ..Ed figured out he wasn't eating healthy enough.and not exercising and not enough sun light so his wife helped with getting him started And Ed gave up most of his partying ways to get healthier which seemed to help back then ..He talked honestly about his struggles with anxiety and mental health issues and what makes Ed happy took up a hobby in painting 🖼 and he loves doing this it's relaxing and beautiful .. The Hay House Tour and any final thoughts was to change his old habits and start to fix him self ..This was a very open interview and Ed answered them truthfully and all of this interview is on film on I Tunes now 👌 Always Yours Laura @ God Bless You Ed 🙏 😊

[@kimberleylowrie7151]

It is refreshing to see a respectful interview that allows a public figure to show diversity in respect to their public persona, be vulnerable and allow to finish off how they wish to. One of Ed's traits that I have admired is his strong sense of self and I think that is what keeps him grounded and true to his path. This coupled with empathy and the gift of storytelling is what makes his music authentic - he won't be a flash in the pan. If I could give a title to his biography it would be, "Unapologetically Ed" lol Thank you for the fantastic interview and insights to wisdom.

[@Holly090590]

I have been a fan of Ed’s voice since 2009, I have seen many interviews but never one that was so candid and where Ed truly opened up and shared such sensitive and personal things. This interview makes me appreciate him even more. Must be honest, the part where he explained he sometimes feels like people (fans) might be mean or just...too much made me feel a bit sad but just because as a fan I would never want to make him feel that way... I wish just for him to know many of his fans look at him like a friend who is able to voice thoughts and emotions into music that simply makes us feel better. I wish him all the best, I wish for him to carry on with his music because he helps many and I wish he’s happy just the way he is.

Songwriting is definitely a form of therapy. Writing a song clears your head, it helps you cope with a situation, it lets you process an experience. This is one important aspect of having a creative outlet that sober, bureaucratic governments will never understand. They still see art as some hobby, as something silly. I wish more people would acknowledge the deep healing powers art and self-expression have. It also gives people a sense of purpose and self-worth because there's nothing more rewarding than making something authentic out of nothing. I believe that investing more in the creative aspirations of people will wildly benefit the overall (mental) health of a society.

It gives me goosebumps that the man I learned about 90% of what I know about being an artist from says he needs something other than music to make him happy now. I mean, he genuinely seems more grounded and well that ever, but seeing all this ambition and passion he had in him for his work leading to needing to step away from it? Maybe I'm overly dramatic hear, but damn, that hit me.

[@emilyscharnhorst8962]

Ed Sheeran has definitely been one of my first idol while growing up! The fact of hearing his thoughts about his career in this interview was so inspiring to encourage me pursue my dream of becoming a musical artist! ❤️🎵🎹

So many gems of wisdom from a huge star who doesn’t worship fame. I guess Ed means happiness is all about the journey, not the destination. Incredible when he said he learned more from a gig in Exeter with one person than sell out stadiums at Wembley.

[@lisacampbell145]

Not even ten minutes in and Ed offers to give the interviewer food. Just another reason why he's awesome.

"Luck is when preparation meets opportunity" is a quote on my wall in my home studio! Very inspirational.

[@jessicas253]

What saddens me is that "friends" didn't listen to him when he was trying to talk about the struggles of having that much success/money and people starting to get weird around you. Everyone was just like "You'll be fine". Seems like there weren't many empathetic people around him. I always try to listen, even though it might be something I can't relate to at that moment. There's always something to learn and you can't compare pain/struggle. Just because someone has achieved "everything" in your eyes doesn't mean he/she can't be struggling on a daily basis just like everyone else. The reasons might be different but the fears will be exactly the same.

[@livinglifeaskristy]

Everything you said is so true🥺🥺

[@eas821]

Hey Jessica - Chasing the Present launched today on Apple. I truly hope you are able to watch it and let us know what you think of the work and message!

[@roccafellario8279]

This was one of the best interviews I’ve watched . I love how they both were so forthright and brutally honest regarding mental health . I suffer social anxiety it’s so difficult to explain to others 👍

[@eas821]

I hope you are well! I wanted to pass along that our full film has launched today. It would mean so much if you have the chance to watch and let us know what you think. We hope to keep the conversation going! Chasing the present film

[@roccafellario8279]

Emily Scharnhorst Thank you I hope your are well also . I would definitely watch the full film 💯👍

[@AaronCarrington]

This entire interview echos my own sentiments almost word-for-word. I sit here as a musician who didn't get there, I didn't have the success Ed has had and I didn't have the luck but it just goes to show that no matter what you do and no matter who you are, you're not excluded from life's pitfalls. To me, it's having meaningful, close relationships with other human beings that brings the most happiness and sadly, that seems to be getting lost somewhere in the modern world, people are far more interested in growing their Instagram than they are in having a conversation with an actual person. Having lived in London the past 9 years, making long term true friendships here has been by far the biggest challenge. Thankfully, I still have my best buds from back home who are now dotted around the country and I wouldn't change them for anything.

[@shunai935]

Aaron... Why are you talking in the past? Did you give up on your dream of being a musician?

[@AaronCarrington]

@@shunai935 Yes and no, I still teach guitar and gig sometimes, that's how I make my living, I also have a KZbin channel. However, there are so many things that factor into being what we call successful and the vast majority of them are outside of our control. Health conditions, whether we end up being in the right place at the right time, familial support, age, looks, timing etc. Why do you ask?

[@JulyN78]

This was sooooo good. And people dealing with mental issues should watch it... This felt like both parts were coming from the right mind. Interviewer was interested in letting the humanity out of Ed, and Ed was willing to navigate that.

I love Hay's ideas and thinking. Been reading it for years and years. It's nice that Ed finds some peace of mind. If by any weird chance you read this Ed, I just want to say thank you. Your songs gave ME peace of mind, and helps me in chalanging times. 💜

This is such a great interview. Very insightful and motivational. Ed wrote songs when he was 16 that 60+ could relate to, there's a high probability that he'll be writing songs that anyone can relate to as long as he lives. So glad he found his peace.

4:30 when he states he learnt more when only one person came to his gig in Exeter. I wish he would of explained what that experience taught him

I'm almost halfway in, and Ed Sheeran basically described in a general way a lot of how I feel and kind of react... I did not know it was part of anxiety tbh

[@shadowswithin702]

If you do something to get something, your probably in it for the wrong reasons. That right there resonates with me, there is a lot of greed and disingenuous people in entertainment. I think people are drawn to Ed because he's genuine and down to earth, we need more of that I think rather than the clout chasers, and fake personalities.

[@joffalab]

Great, inspiring, clear and clarity all together. I suspect anyone who hit thumbs down didn’t actually watch it!

He’s genuinely an awesome person.

[@julsj6482]

when I first heard Ed's music i immediately wanted to learn how to play guitar & sing & write & make the next biggest hit & blah blah blah.... now a couple of years into it and especially now after listening to this interview I came to realization that no number on this freaking earth can/will determine how much my music is worth to me (& everyone around me). No matter what you do in life, know that as long as it makes you happy and as long as it make sense to you, it is enough, it is worthy. My aim is to write music that has meaning and purpose. And the process of creating such a personal masterpiece should be fun for fucks sake! these are just my thoughts after watching this amazing interview, I hope y'all doing well 🌝

[@eas821]

Juls - such a beautiful sentiment. We would love to hear some of your music. Hope you can watch out full film out now on iTunes. It's full of some more great interviews and stories. Keep the conversation going! Especially now...

[@redbeanrice7465]

It's so great to compare this interview with his younger interviews and see that he has remained very open and available to share his experiences. It was one of the things that always made me connect to his music and persona and it's heartwarming to feel that after all his success it's still there :)
