Ed doesn’t give himself enough credit. He’s phenomenal. One of my favorite artists by far

[@basilm4079]

Average

[@HB-ey2dk]

It's like he forgets he's Ed freakin Sheeran and I'm so sad he thinks he has to release songs he doesn't love just so he can release songs that actually are meaningful to him. I don't think he has to do that anymore but he forgets how famous and loved he is as an artist

I wanted to give Ed the biggest hug throughout this interview. We are here for you, brother.

A lot of that would have been to do with the algorithm of an inactive channel.

[@reneeotarola3276]

Perhaps the song is like tooo emotional for listening to over and over. When I listen to it everytime it hurts so much, I feel so much, so I can't listen to it so often. And also it hurts in me, for me (in my life, för my experiences), but also for you - Ed - and how very emotional you do this. The song is absolutely beautiful! ❣️

[@Getwelllivehealthy]

Love that song 💪🏻

[@yasminsmaroon]

Hearing about Ed's and Taylor's friendship is so heartwarming!

[@aaryamaheshwari8182]

can you pls give me timing in which he talks about her

[@PVG223]

i know Ed said that the idea of strangers watching him cry on youtube makes him uncomfortable, but i just want to thank him for still sharing his emotions, his grief with us. my dad passed away in October of 2021 and i still can't speak or even think about him without choking up. i just start crying. right now it feels like i will never get over it. tbh i was kinda starting to feel self-conscious about it. i mean, some time has passed, it should get easier. so to hear Ed talk about his experience with grief, or how his mom still cries about losing someone 30 years later, is comforting. the story behind this album has already given me some peace of mind. i'm sure the album itself will provide some much needed healing. can't wait to hear it. and i'm so sorry for your loss, Ed

[@chloedarling9895]

There is no time limit to grief. I lost my rock of strength my best friend 8 years ago and I still have all the pain and grief now that I had 8 years ago. Don't feel self conscious it is a difficult journey losing someone who means so much to you. You got this ❤

[@PVG223]

​@@chloedarling9895 thank you so much for your kind words! they mean a great deal! i guess some wounds never completely heal and that's okay. it's part of life

I feel that Subtract is bringing back the old days when Ed used to create amazing acoustic songs and less mainstream I'm feeling the vibes so far and it sounds amazing💛💛

[@emankhashan7411]

💯

[@alifc1082]

Don't think he's bringing back old days, these are present days... He is a person Goins through life, different things going on, can't write the same thing all your life... As he said, kind of boring. He is a songwriter, that doesn't mean he can, or should only do one thing.

[@AhmedMFarag]

@@alifc1082 I'm talking about the quality here mate not the topics the last couple of albums I felt like he was not writing what his heart feels but he's writing what will go viral and get more numbers I'm just saying that the earlier albums in his career were more authentic and not just generic mainstream pop

[@melissafuller333]

I felt that the whole album was like reading a great novel. It all went well together and worked beautifully.

[@fionajenkinson3792]

Yes! I have a couple of favourites I might just listen to in isolation but generally I like to listen to this album right through. It's really cohesive and the tracks although all unique also just fit together beautifully. It's a work of art. @@melissafuller333

My kid sister loved Ed Sheeran so much she use to say he was her boyfriend lol! Sadly she died in the summer of 2016 at the age of 17, and the pain I felt killed every ounce of my soul. The first few years I would listen to Ed every morning to start my day. His music helped me to get through the hardest part of my grief. Seeing this interview and hun sharing his grief as well makes me connect with him even more. Thank you Ed for sharing with all of us.❤

First, I’m 64 yrs old and have been a fan for years. Initially I was drawn in to the relatable lyrics and the folk style, with a man and his guitar. I’ve been lucky enough to see him live in LA and it was incredible. No band, just Ed. I’m grateful to have had Ed’s music to take me to a different place, help me remember that we’re all going through the same struggles and have countless memories of our life experience.

F64 did seem to slip under the radar but I picked up on it straight away. It’s powerful and such a beautiful tribute to Jamal. It’s not falling on deaf ears Ed, there’s people who feel it’s impact

[@cooking_training_with_ben]

When you said nobody noticed the f64. I just want you to know I definitely noticed. I'm 30 this month and at 21 years old I lost my best friend of 18 years in a sudden traffic accident. We were joined at the hip and grew up together but we had both recently moved to different cities to pursue our careers. Two weeks before he died we agreed to meet up but it sadly never happened. There was a 4 year period where I was so caught up in drugs and drink that I didn't really process what had happened. But since growing up, having children and straightening myself out, it slowly started to sink in, when he wasn't a godfather or a best man. And then you released the f64. I have never been spoken to so deeply or truly like I was with that song. And since it's release and hearing the rest of the tracks from the subtract album, I have really started to look inward and address how I'm feeling about it all. So yeah, if nothing else. You saved me from my inner demons and let me release them, making me a better finace and father. So thank you. P.s. I proposed to my fiance at your = tour in Manchester and my boys sing every song of yours I play.

[@Original_Lurke_fromthe_Unknown]

Actually you won’t even know that it is sad. Just my 2 cents on this topic. I listen to it most days when I drive because it’s the only Ed album I own. I think it’s actually refreshing to hear. If I knew nothing about Ed, I still would have wondered about this release. And I must say let’s just say we never knew anything it’s a great album subdued in some spots. I give it 🖐🏻 stars.

As a long time fan when ed burst into tears i could not help myself but shed a tear. Jamal was a beautiful person and i could always hear him behind all the F-64's from you need me to the eraser f64. This album is having a special place in my heart. Subtract to me is basically getting me ready on how to live without things , how to express my emotions and cry it out.

Fascinating as usual from Zane Lowe. I don't think I've seen Ed this raw and intense in an interview before. He's usually incredibly laidback and muted despite the emotionality of his music.

[@tarawilliams5692]

Ed is so absolutely brilliant beyond his years, and such a wonderful human. I love how he describes grief and recognizing the societal expectations versus how it really is. I can tell others and my kids it's o.k. to cry when grief hits you, but yet my initial reaction every time I do is, I hate when I cry. His music has had such a positive impact in my life, and I hope he continues to be honest with himself and his music, creative, and willing to explore artistically.

[@Slamb68]

I am a 67 year old Father and Grandfather. I'm not a Pop music follower but I love the new album. I lost my 15 year old son 26 years ago, When I heard Eyes closed and Eds reason for writing it, I was connected to it immediately. I felt the same way and still feel that I see my son everywhere. I cried when I listed to it during his documentary. My wife introduced me to "Perfect" and it became our song. It told our story. I listened to "Supermarket Flowers" for the first time this past Mothers day. I lost my Mom last September and it got me as well, great job. I love those songs and I think that Ed is extremely talented in capturing those "heart" moments. Keep writing, you have grabbed this old "Rockers" heart with your songs. Thank You.

[@le_th_]

When I heard Boat for the first time, it released some deeply buried grief inside me that I wasn't aware was still there. I burst into tears: deep, sorrowful, mournful tears. The kind of tears that cleanse your soul and leave you feeling a state of relief that you weren't even aware you needed until it was released. I listened to Boat over...and over...and over...and over again...to the lyrics...the wistful melody...the sorrow conveyed by those absolutely GORGEOUS violins. Even now, thinking about it, it brings tears to my eyes. I haven't fallen in love with a song in such a long, long time...and I fell in love with Boat on the very first listen. I've lived long enough now to be able to recognize a song that I will listen to until the day I take my last breath, and Boat is one of those rare songs. I would place Boat up there with timeless songs like... God Only Knows Wish You Were Here More Than A Feeling Nothing Compares 2U I Can't Make You Love Me This Is Our Last Goodbye In my opinion, Boat is not only a once-in-a-carrer song, it's a once-in-a-lifetime song. I'm just so very sorry to learn of the irreparable loss that another human being had to suffer in order to write it.

[@callumsmith2791]

Ed Sheeran is just an absolute remarkable singer songwriter who just writes with deep feelings about his true self. He's not writing songs about himself, it's about his real life stories and the struggles that he goes through.

This album is full of so much emotion. It's hard to say that I'm enjoying it because we know how real the pain behind each song is. And it's because of that, that I feel super connected to it. Each of us are going through our own personal struggles and, at least for myself, are able to relate one way or the other.

[@elizabethrose5333]

I have so much love and respect for Ed Sheeran crying. I can really relate to him saying he feels awkward about it but I have learned that crying is such a beautiful thing. Sure it makes him very vulnerable and defenseless but for the viewers it also makes him so relatable and true and honest and warm.

[@score1015]

15:50 I love that Ed has this ambiguity intentionally in his song that makes it more relatable because sometimes you can be grieving someone, but not in a way where you lost them even, just a hard goodbye. I reconnected with a friend from high school over the summer and discovered feelings for her at the end of last year. She was legitimately everything I've ever wanted or dreamt of in a partner and the kindest most purehearted person I've met. At the start of this year amazingly it turned out she reciprocated these feelings and everything was perfect but she got an internship in a different country all summer which made things so much more complicated as we already studied in different cities. That goodbye was so difficult and it made Eyes closed resonate with me so much. Whether it was when I walked by the cafe we'd gone to, the places we'd walked by together, places that simply reminded me of her, even in my own room I'd be reminded of her. Even then I knew the song was about Jamal, but I could relate it to my own life and listen to it thinking of this girl.

what an interview that was.. thank you for being so open and honest ed 💛

[@andreawesson9856]

I wanted to be able to say to Ed that this is the best interview, in my opinion, because it is us seeing a person BEING REAL & not just showing their on camera persona. Keep doing the things that make you & your family feel. ❤

Cant’t wait love! Love you Ed

I agree F64 was so underrated I cried 5 times listening to that sing alone. Also that makes way more sense now when he says " We cried for 9 nights in your family hime"😢i am blessed that he was vulnerable i know how hard it could be especially being a stranger. BUT DAMN THANK YOU ED

[@joshbarclay9048]

One of my favorite artists+one of my favorite interviewers. Absolute masterclass!

[@ludachrise1]

Ed, you are one of the best humans that unfortunately I have never met. You are a world treasure. I will always love your music andcertainly understand your feelings right now. Take good care of yourself and stay safe.😢❤

I was lucky enough to meet him about ten years ago when ‘give me love’ was a hit. I went to a private radio concert. The meet and greet the radio station set up that fans had won, Ed said Screw it and met EVERY SINGLE PERSON. He was the kindest coolest dude. ❤
