the thing i love about him the most is that he is just casual. he is sitting there in his jeans, hoodie and scuffed shoes. it makes him seem more relatable.

the point is that thru Ed Sheeran the younger people are becoming familiar with the traditional Irish Music. . . thanks for doing this Ed.

[@faithclarke7721]

so you know ive grown up listening to irish/celtic music its allways been in my blood and bones and i allways enjoy playing it and im a young person in america XD

[@allanmacdonald8920]

I also play Celtic music, scottish/irish/shetland/French/etc, and have all my life. What i was jokingly highlighting is that not all folk songs are of Irish origin. I love irish songs, scottish songs, and all the rest, but I credit the nation's origin.

Funny thing is... I don't even think it was a voice crack at 1:36. legit think that's the way he sings it, listen to his live version of this. It doesn't even sound bad at all

[@jhomariebonggo7483]

A crack. That was definitely a crack, but, the way he made up for it, and matched the following word's tune is a solid evidence that Ed is a musical genius. Loved him since I first heard his "I see fire" back in '13, then I indulged myself to multiply then plus (a bit backward, I know.) up until now (divide) and discovered how majestic his writing singing skills are. With his vocal majesty and emotion filled singing, he can turn vocal cracks into a tone as beautiful as well-maintain racks. 😆

[@josephsharemi620]

SO what if it was a crack! Peeps should go sing their own crack and see if we'd all love it like we do this one here...

2012 you wouldn't think he could get any better than this, but its 2017 & he did get better. He went from great to amazing.

[@richardbonnette490]

GOOD! My goodness, did he need an improvement! I'm glad he is not satisfied with being okay, but has gone on to improve himself. However, there is still room for improvement -- even in 2017. Because, to be honest ... it's not 2017 anymore. :)

[@Elliebet]

The first time I ever heard this song was when my family sat around and sang it at my Uncle's funeral. I was nine, but I'll never forget it. What a beautifully haunting song. Ed's voice just makes it that much sweeter.

Finally, someone who doesn’t need to do this song with a defined beat behind it... simply sung as if speaking a series of phrases with having its own individual pace as the phrase needs - far more in keeping with a departed soul giving one last toast to those left behind on their way o the everafter...

[@richardbonnette490]

I was wondering what I would do if that happened to me. :) Honestly, I would probably have to re-sing the song in order to get it right. But either way, you should NOT have a cracking voice midway through a song - it's an indication of bad technique. Vocalization is actually an art - and that is what most people are woefully ignorant about.
