Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran - Songwriter

I am but a peasant...who are all these people? Is that Foy Vance?

[@iamiupa]

He's an amazing songwriters, but I think most of his force comes from the fact that he's got a TON of writers surrounding him that just as awesome.

Maddie Close no, it’s a violin. a fiddle and a violin are the same instrument, the difference is the genre that’s played. she is playing a violin, the type of music she is playing is folk/traditional so it’s classified as a fiddle

We can’t call it galway girl cos there’s a song called Galway girl Ended up calling it Galway girl

[@howardyanow2883]

I love how the iterative process when it comes to working out a new song is usually going "Muh, muh, da, da, da, da, hey, mm, mm" while you vaguely strum along and then occasionally someone goes "Yeah! Exactly!" and you write it down. Music really is a language all it's own.
