Literally the best love song ever.

[@elibmusic563]

Yes!

[@crammier99]

why do i feel like describing Ed Sheeran as "perfect" is not enough?? understatement. I mean he's HEAVENLY and GLORIOUS.

[@Harambeeeee]

He is my father

[@elibmusic563]

Best songwriter of my generation, Hands down.

[@butlerlars]

Thom Yorke and Kurt Cobain?

[@Banannawontsplit]

butlerlars "It's okay to eat fish, because fish don't have any feelings" -Kurt Cobain.

[@aeguersanik]

butlerlars Dude, Kurt died in '94 and, even if he's still alive and kicking, Thom Yorke is not what "he was". And if Elijah is about 20 years old, there is a very small group of songwriters to pick from in this last years. So.... He may be right, cause he's definitely from a different generation. And just i case, if you are younger than him and still want to trash him for his opinion... I could tell you "Mozart and Bach????"... And Ed S may not be that bad if you are around here listening and commenting =). Enjoy

[@butlerlars]

AEG I didn't say Ed was bad, but he is not the best. I think Thom Yorke is improving aswell. I could think of more singers/songwriters but hey, I'm way too lazy.

[@S4MST3R2001]

***** All songwriters have been using the same chord sequences for 60 years. Damien is definitely not original either.....

[@Avian98X]

He's done it again.

[@mkzdl]

I love how his recordings and live match exactly the same..

[@danielrobinson3076]

***** yess. but in this version he changes around the lyrics a bit....

[@racerx3065]

+Joy I this is in a different key lol

[@mkzdl]

racerx3065 yeah I realize that

[@L.T163]

Joy true

[@kurtus.1]

I can picture myself telling my future children about his music. And then they'd be like seventeen year old beatles fans because Ed's music will remain great over time.

[@johnfebbvidal2146]

Like😊

[@coffeyeoin5]

lol ed sheeran is basic

[@violethaze2610]

i think u shouldn try to controlled ur children taste in music. u may become crazy ;(

[@coffeyeoin5]

ninjabluewings Then your children would probably end up being as big a pretentious ignoramus as you.

[@coffeyeoin5]

[@ashleefitz-gerald2776]

I've lost count of how many times I've hit the replay button....

[@OneTonneNoodles]

I need this to play at my wedding... :')

[@erwinoaquino1445]

Me too

[@ekyjones]

me toooo! (Not that I am getting married soon though haha) :)

[@LivingLifeWithJoJo]

Just what I was thinking.. amazing song, the lyrics is just..ah

[@user-om1cn7ni1k]

haha i said that!

[@lilyxD123]

we all do xD

[@jamescockayne463]

And... The master does it again. This guy can do no wrong.

[@Timliu92]

An awesome and legit musician who can actually sing very well live. Hats off to Ed.

[@carolsworld6146]

and writing his song

[@eileenokeeffe5084]

[@saudex3060]

JJ from kaleo band , he can sing very well

[@Serra080967]

Acoustic, live, true and no computer intervention, just a voice & a piano . . . . . oh, & what a voice it is, (piano is legend without having to say.).

[@TheDominiqueG]

+Jan Flash I actually think the piano ruins the song, to be fair. xD Doesnt suit the song.

[@user-jy3ue3hf7j]

He said acoustic

[@user-jy3ue3hf7j]

that comment was a reply to someone but he deleted the comment

[@AsyrafXXI]

He should do more of this, like play live songs with backups, it kinda goes with it. Even though he prefers without a band, but some of his songs suits having piano or violins. Like this song and I See Fire.

[@mitjaklinc208]

he is the beast solo.............

[@debystark2796]

Too true,this is better than the album version

[@sophiewilliamson9295]

Have you seen him live in person? Nothing can beat that.

[@AsyrafXXI]

Sophie Williamson I really want to, he's coming to my country (Singapore), but I didn't get tickets, sold out :/

[@namelessfreak99]

Come see him in Malaysia! Tickets are still available :)

[@jancarlovalencia3719]

His lyrics. They should be written on a book and taught as poetry to future generations.

[@RhysJames]

This is a beautiful song and this is an incredible version of it.

[@bluedolphins08]

love the piano and guitar combined in this. and of course, ed is incredible.

[@scott9083]

I agree, I think it sounds great with the piano will be interesting to see if it sounds as good on the album

[@bluedolphins08]

that's what i thought too! was kinda hoping the studio version would be exactly the same with jools playing it but it obviously won't be :P sure it'll still be amazing either way

[@ErupGamingHD]

He said he recorded the album live so I don't see why it wouldn't be as good or even better.

[@McLAUGHlinMatt]

X is genuinely sounding like the album of the year, every song released from it so far are faultless. Ed Sheeran is a genius.

[@kbtalekar]

Matthew McLaughlin exactly

[@TinaBabes14]

This is so so flawless!

[@patriciocastro1131]

Love when he says: When your legs don't look like they used to before And i cant sweep you off of your feet Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks Darlin' I will Be lovin' you Till we're seventy Baby my heart Could still pull as hard At twenty three I'm thinkin' bout how People fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe its all part of a plan Me i fall in love with you every single day I just wanna tell you i am So honey now..... Take me into your lovin' arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart I'm thinking out loud Maybe we found love right where we are When my hairs over grown and my memory fades And the crowds dont remember my name When my hands dont play the strings the same way (mmm) I know you will still love me the same Cause honey you're soul Can never grow old Its evergreen Baby your smiles forever in my mind and memory I'm thinkin' bout how People fall in love in mysterious ways Maybe just the touch of a hand I'll continue making the same mistakes Hoping that you'll understand That baby now (oooooh) Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars Place your head on my beating heart I'm thinking out loud Maybe we found love right where we are (ohh ohh) (al la la la la la la la la) Baby now..... Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars (oh darlin') Place your head on my beating heart I'm thinking out loud Maybe we found love right where we are We found love right where we are And we found love right where we are

[@patriciocastro1131]

In all fairness, I copied this from a website :)

[@rokeyahelal2447]

@@patriciocastro1131 you are so honest

[@juwitaratna7552]

My tears drop when he say like that 😓

[@louloubridgeman]

Makes me cry love jools on the piano really adds to the emotion of the song

[@jandylegonzales]

Amazing.

[@Ben-my2wz]

one of the best songwriters and vocalists ... ed sheeran is truly amazing :)

[@michaelnoble6143]

Man

[@x1096]

Ben P I bet you have not heard about the truly great ones. He might be okay but certainly not the best.

[@JebacFubuNa100]

MORI "one of the best" you can't read? There's no the best artist, there's on of the best artists, but no ONE THE BEST.

[@maanushreeksoni4743]

Not even one of the best but he's good tho

[@debystark2796]

Credit to Jools! Amazing pianist. Yeah,I'm still here guys lol. Sandra Watson are you reading this???

[@debystark2796]

Ooft I have a wean his age. Arrrrghhhhhhh Baby now!! Take me into your loving arms ..........

[@debystark2796]

Oh yeah Sandra,you love it don't ya? Wee Ed, the Verminator xxx

[@debystark2796]

Thanks DazR340

[@tippwhitehead2559]

Is it just me who likes the simple way he preforms, no fancy outfits, big bands or shiz like that he can just stand there with his guitar and a piano or something and sing blowing the shit out of everybody watching. This slow clap is for you Ed *starts clapping slowly... Duh point of a slow clap)

[@natalievermeulen7729]

The fact that he has his eyes shut the whole time he's singing shows how passionate he is about his music...

[@Gaybraham.Lincoln]

maybe he needs a wee though, fam

[@b3kcha]

to me, this is the best live version of Thinking Out Loud... I always come back and listen to this and stay in awe, how beautiful this is, in scale with the original and much better :)

[@MetroVerse]

I actually prefer this over the album version.

[@brodylockwood5513]

Yes me too, it's more verbal and much louder when it needs to be. So good:)

[@billsmith932]

Exactly! The same about "One", it was a lot better live

[@alexwilcox2614]

Yeah same it sounds better

[@CROAiva]

Bill Smith i agree !

[@paulbrothers4512]

yep

[@leahanwar5022]

no auto tune needed for this amazing artist xx

[@muzzythedon]

The concentration in the crowd. Not a breathe could be heard. Love this version. Love Ed. What a talent.

[@fayhares]

One of the best live singers out there. Respect.

[@elliej11j68]

Only one word to describe Ed. Perfection!

[@Qalb999]

The lyrics!! Omg he can't stop blowing my mind!

[@walwin]

Literally 2 of the best English musicians. Right here.

[@toxiccheetah8303]

His voice like angel

[@elchip2621]

He doesn't need autotune because he is that amazing

[@albabsc8769]

Amazing. He is the best artist of this generation, hands down.

[@michelle88960]

That was beautiful. The lyrics, Jools on piano and Ed's voice, amazing.

[@leticiaaaaaa]

Holland in the piano and Ed in the vocals. it's just perfect.

[@Curly9vw]

2015 Grammy Album of the Year : X

[@TheDChannelDouble]

How can you not love this guy?he's so perfect :"">

[@kazarific15994]

The chorus of this song really makes me feel like I'm on holiday Cx love it

[@heida7357]

This man is a lyrical genius. This song is everything. I don't know what life is anymore.

[@alysdc7]

I don't even have words for how beautiful this is...

[@SubzeroWeather]

Hes sure outdone himself with this track, now i can't wait to hear all of X. Probably my fav song from him now. 1) Thinking Out Loud. 2) Small Bump. 3) Give Me Love. 4) Little Bird. 5) U.N.I.

[@debystark2796]

I've listened to lots of versions of this song and this is the one I'm drawn back to every time! Bloody amazing with Jools! Go Ed,ma wee ginger idol

[@jdgari]

0:28 the best way to start the piano.

[@surojvangerwen7102]

your damn right

[@draiguk]

Best performance of this song, hands down. Ed really gets into it, emotionally like only Ed can, and Jools just adds his special something to lift it from great to mesmerising. Epic.

[@UTR93]

Love this jazzy-ish song. Ed has done it again. Amazing song.

[@justanormalhooman]

Favorite song from Ed's album so far. I love the lyrics. I love his voice. I love the high notes. And the heartfelt singing. For the first time in my life, I am going crazy over a musician. No regrets though. I love you #EdSheeran

[@charleeknowles8072]

I feel you Ms. Maturan!

[@AquilaStargazer39]

What a performance! Jools accompaniment works a treat

[@thunderdoosh]

Ed is one of the very few modern that sounds better live than recorded.

[@spikymike123]

coldplay sent me here and christ im glad they did ;)

[@ripmyfictionalfriends]

I knew before that Ed Sheeran is good but I'm glad Chris informed me of this beautiful song :)

[@raymundomartinez8562]

Me too

[@sameggleston1763]

Easily the best live artist I've ever heard

[@DrEmrahAslan]

Energy of Ed passes through the screen👏🏻

[@musicislife1990]

I love this ginger ninja. He sneaks in to your heart and stays there. All of Ed's songs are absolutely amazing and it's nearly impossible to pick a favourite because they all touch a different part of your heart and bring up different emotions that link back to memories.. I love Ed.

[@jameswillott2896]

His best song, sounds like an old soul song. Brilliant. Make music like this, thanks very much

[@ouch110]

*melts into a puddle of love* This song is beyond beautiful.

[@eenayeah]

This song.. This song is gonna be a timeless classic. It's SO good.

[@HDryanm]

I remember when he tweeted he was going to be playing a brand new song on jools holland tonight, so i made sure i stayed up to watch/listen. I've probably listened to it everyday 4/5 times since. Something about this tune makes me smile!

[@alina-hj8is]

THIS SONG IS JUST PERFECT AND AMAZING AND OMG I LOVE AND ADORE ED AND THIS SONG ED MADE ME CRY

[@NinaReviewsThings]

So beautiful! I just heard this version for the very first time today WOW! Thanks Universe!

[@benhoward3222]

Thank you fan I love you

[@johnoakleymusic]

From one ginger ninja to another, THAT is soul!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!

[@JadirVilson]

Boa noite Eli .

[@StaceyyOopsiedaisy]

Ed. You make me smile. Your voice is just so unmatchable! I was in such a crap mood today and this song just really calmed me down and made me feel more relaxed x

[@BoxingB0oda]

This song has a really old school feel to it! Like an old motown classic! Beautiful, goosebumps, what a great talent this boy possesses! Keep it up ed

[@mollyhotson4449]

What an amazing song..... LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH !!!!

[@alastor2322]

Great performance by Ed here-no-one can quibble about his ability and that is why he is so big

[@nayadabdallah9917]

just beautiful !!!

[@natybasilio]

Every live performance of Ed is 10000 times better than the album version, how is this possible? I'm blown away by his talent

[@alexia015uk2]

You just cannot beat live performances, Jools' ear is just astonishing.

[@XxLovelyAGxX]

This is so beautiful :')

[@inmepete]

2:36 Bohemian Rhapsody Queen make an appearance!

[@TheHannahRyan]

I genuinely looked towards the like bar expecting nothing but thumbs up. This is faultless. Ed is....indescribable. I could listen to this all day.

[@kyledominique6737]

I'm so happy that fame never did get to Ed's head... He wears simple and casual clothes when he performs, jeans and maybe a shirt and a plaid.. I still remember watching him perform Lego House, A Team and Small Bump with a huge smile plastered on his face... Who ever says Ed is a joke as a singer/songwriter, you're so wrong...

[@DAVID-nb8zg]

La mejor canción de ed sheeran y de las mejores de la historia

[@benhumphreys941]

Ed Sheeran is by far the best music artist out there. he sounds the same live as he does on his album... PURE TALENT!

[@ophelieswan6213]

this is so true. this song means so much. I LOVE HIM SO FAR

[@abrahamkristanto8531]

That improvising by jools was outstanding.

[@wanderlusttom]

Amazing song and best remix so far Ed Sheeran x Wanderlust - Thinking Out Loud (Sailors Remix)

[@DildosForChristmas]

All the girls commenting here about his looks are what's wrong with the music industry. You're the reason we have 'artists' like Beiber and One Direction. He's a musician, not a model.

[@lilito06]

I love how he looks, I would marry him, even I don't believe in marriage... :B

[@redredornblack]

finally, truth has spoken

[@naravas8331]

Don't take it personal man, it is what it is. You appreciating his music is good enough for him

[@lilito06]

No, I wanna marry him!! :,(

[@xflashahh]

Have a gander at the comment section on any female artist's videos and the comments will be far ruder, more objectifying and more terrible than anything posted here. I don't condone it. But there are far worse things wrong with the music industry than a few girls going "lol i fancy him!!!1"

[@Siimplicityyy]

This guy is an absolute animal, another outstanding song performed perfectly, good job Ed!

[@esther4387]

I'M THINKING OUT LOUD THAT MAYBE WE FOUND LOVE RIGHT WERE WE ARE!!!!! My teddy he's so adorable I can't describe how much I love him! He's the best!

boy am i glad i packed my lunch today didn't know i'd be going on a feel trip

Had goosebumps listening to the vocals at the part with "kiss me under the light of a thousand stars" Amazing vocal control!

[@keiraryan3874]

Beautifully put together lyrics, incredibly fantastic song, Ed has done it again

[@biricam]

Ed Sheeran is the perfect guy

[@rhodesdarcy]

Jools is so damn good. Its effortless. He is a legend. And Ed - well you won me over. This is bloody brilliant. Thanks Ed. Thanks Jools. Thanks BBC.

[@amysd58]

I swear to god he sings even better live than he does in the recorded songs.
