Ed Sheeran - F64 REACTION

[@VeXeBB]

Jamal Edwards kickstarted Eds journey to fame. At the very start of the video you can see a microphone in a room that's where Ed performed "You need me, I don't need you".

[@Wingafalei]

good catch, you can hear the vocals overlaid at the same time too, just really chopped

You’ve just explained my thoughts on Ed’s recent music way better than I ever could. I played this song to my mum and she said ‘that’s great but that doesn’t sound like Ed Sheeran’. I told her this is exactly what the Ed Sheeran I fell in love with sounds like

[@Abby-lovebae]

The tracks that were put out onto mainstream radio. I think we’re very different than the ones that are on his entire discography. You have to actually listen to the songs that are on the albums or the bonus tracks to get the Ed Sheeran that we know.

[@Aaron-tk8bz]

It is Chelsea FC - Stamford Bridge as Jamal (RIP) was a massive Chelsea fan. Great song and personal tribute to SBTV. Respectful comments John 👍🙏

[@dkb4599]

Hey John! Thank you so much for understanding the depth of this tune. As an ed fan i know that you might not dig his new stuff but i really appreciate it that you liked this one because he literally poured his heart into it. Lots of love mate x

[@noahpalmer6653]

That's one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. Truly heart wrenching

[@johnellerby5117]

I like Sheeran because of his story, and his ability. He's a good song writer. But this is absolute class - rap done like I can understand. I'm 75 years old. But this. This is a real piece of music. And production..

[@BrandonEmery_]

I forget that Ed is a good rapper too. I remember the early SB days, him and Devlin going bar for bar! Absolutely crazy and them two were incredible together. All thanks to Jamal! Love how there is a lot more to their story like living together before Ed was even a big name. Makes sense why their bond is so strong

[@Whooooooops]

I adored Eds old stuff, but in the same boat as you with the newer stuff and basically put Ed off my radar completely. This right here reminded me why i used to be such a fan, great tribute and incredible tune.

[@tjdavis3841]

The hook is a tribute to JAE5 and Dave’s song Propellor two very good friends of both Ed and Jamal

[@scotthearts9634]

Bnxn too. The melody he used was the hook bnxn sang tho' it was truly beautiful 😔😔 honestly.

[@RandomheadProduction]

Don’t erase BNXN cuz his part is the part he actually used lol

[@ehsanrazaerh]

You can’t expect an artist to write music like they did when they were younger and going through struggles. Naturally their music is going to evolve and Ed Sheeran is a married man with children who isn’t going through heartbreak necessarily so it’s all about writing songs from different perspectives.

[@eddiealexander3736]

that happens to scary artist but it doesn’t mean the music has to suffer

[@Daz555Daz]

@@eddiealexander3736 His music didn't suffer. It changed. I became something I personally liked a lot less, but it also became something that a larger group of people liked a hell of a lot more.

[@Abby-lovebae]

I don’t think So much as Perspective changed and between multiply and divide he found his love and divide has some fantastic tracks on it. They may not have been ones that were put out onto mainstream but if you listen to the record, you’ll hear the Ed Sheeran that you know.

[@AbuTaher-in3bz]

They did the video at the Chelsea stadium, Stamford Bridge. Jamal Edwards was a lifelong Chelsea fan.

[@irh1738]

Ed set levels. Absolutely spectacular. Give this living legend his flowers. The most versatile and greatest artist of our generation. RIP JAMAL Ps Screw Tottenham it is CHELSEA

[@babadonuts7168]

And to top it off, the whole thing was live. You can hear him stepping in the field throughout the video

[@CommonSenseBodybuilding]

I will say I was reactant to see Ed live because of the reasons you’re not a fan, but his live shows are where he lives his musical vision for sure - big show, lots of artistry, lots of adaptations of songs and he does a 10min you need me version, honestly worth seeing despite any reservations. A bit like his collaborations albums which clearly serve to scratch his creative itch.

[@Abby-lovebae]

That is true If you’re ever gonna appreciate, and you have to appreciate him in a life setting with you see him live or if you want to hear any of his music you should always hear live versions cause that’s where he shines his artistry and his vocals and the way he just puts a song together that you even realizing he’s putting a song together

[@ChyarasKiss]

His voice cracking at the end singing SBTV. Breaks me.

[@MattocMC]

man same it’s fucking heart breaking

[@Abby-lovebae]

Yeah, that’s the part that gets me too

[@michaelpalma6346]

Only found out about his friend cause of this song but it hits hard for me cause a few years ago one of my very close friends took his own life. I feel for Ed, so heartbreaking.

[@austinfull8941]

Honesty in music is always my favorite part of the medium. Telling the world how you feel. Wow

[@SSFlawsydrip]

I’m what it’s like my best friend died 10months ago at the age 12 I still miss him ED has helped me get passed that I had my tears and still cry about it sometimes. Me and him were like brothers in arms.😭😭😭

[@Kizpossible]

Completely agree with your heartfelt comment.. hit the nail on the head right there.. his music just became nothing.. to sell.. THIS is the ed Sheeran I used to love when he came onto the music scene.

[@isolemnlyswearthatimuptono5016]

This is the Ed I feel in love with, SBtv has always been there with the best music and raps rip Jamal

[@randomashorts3680]

Ed Sheeran is the greatest artist to ever come out the UK. & My music taste is mostly street rap and UK rap & old school American rappers. I'm far from his greatest fan but the guy has serious talent in every single way special human with an amazing tribute. 1️⃣ R.I.P Jamal ♥️

[@Abby-lovebae]

Paul McCartney and Ed Sheeran are not in the same concept. Ed makes all his own music right there on the spot with his loop station and his guitar and his voice. It’s a completely different thing than what Paul McCartney can do. I think they’re both equally and they respect areas.

[@tomtaylor92]

Heartfelt tribute by Ed. I discovered him and Devlin through SBTV. Thanks Jamal, I’m also a huge Chelsea fan and loved the Stamford Bridge touch.

[@steven-9481]

Just incredible!!! Such a beautiful tribute!

[@glor1ousone]

Got this reaction in my recommended. Glad to see such reception. Not to get your hopes up, but Ed's next album should be more up your alley based on what you've said in this video 🤞

[@SaraiyahZigler-if2fu]

It’s weird because I’m sure a lot of people do, but I really see myself as Ed’s biggest, most supportive fan. His music means more to me than any other artists’, and the connection I have with it is very dear to me. I haven’t watched what you’ve said about it, but I can tell you that I would probably be able to guess and would most likely agree with your analysis of some of his recent songs. The reason I love his music is because of the deep, raw, intensive relationship and connection I have with it, and much of the equals album lacks that in my opinion. People love him, and people like him, and he may feel that he has to appease to both of those populations. You don’t get to selling 9million tickets by trying to please just one population I guess. It’s so sad to see him lose a best friend like that. My heart goes too him ❤

[@Decipher2K7]

Great reaction and this is is a tough watch, way a lot of emotion from Ed. A really touching tribute from one of his best friends filmed at the football club he loved.

[@Daz555Daz]

I've never been remotely down on Ed because I sort of respect his ability to just create an album and tour that demolishes everything that has come before - it was clearly intentional. However, this track is just Fire. So heartfelt. Wonderful tribute to his brother Jam. RIP.

[@jamieglasgow1649]

Outstanding review there mate, all identical to what my thoughts where except I think it's filmed at the Stamford bridge cause Jamal wasa massive chelsea fan, his F64 videos are always amazing and always took in 1 take, followed him before his rise to fame and the f64 reminds me of the old Ed stuff when rap was more prominent in his music

[@Abby-lovebae]

Yes, Ed was known for his one takes. He never did more than one take on any of his F64.

[@saraelisabeth9038]

I get that this is a lot more heartfelt / heartbreaking then most things he’s put out but not everything needs to be. I think sometimes it’s okay to have a fun, lighthearted song that’s not deep. I couldnt only listen to stuff like this or I’d never stop crying. Glad you liked it

In Caribbean culture. We have a something we call a “nine night”. It’s similar to an Irish wake but takes place 9 days after the person has passed. Usually at their family home. It’s where people come together to share condolences, reminisce and celebrate the life of the person who has passed.

[@KaiLucasZachary]

When it comes to Ed Sheeran, "Divide" was pretty good for the most-part, "No 6 Collaborations" was almost entirely trash, and "Equals" had 3 or maybe 4 songs that I liked. You're absolutely correct in saying that this particular song actually feels like the old Ed Sheeran that I originally fell in love with on "Plus" and "Multiply". As sad as the origin of this song is, it actually feels like the real Ed Sheeran when I think of him in my mind.

[@barryboyce3607]

Equals is an incredible album from start to finish if you really deep it from ed's new perspective becoming a husband to his wife and father to his children, its very different to the rest and from a much more mature mindset, and this for me is why it throws everyone off because its so different

[@paradise_valley]

Subtract has a couple good songs but I agree with this yeah. I really like divide too, but his new music is just not doing it for me

[@Abby-lovebae]

I agree with this equals is an excellent album. You have to listen to it from start to finish at least once to be able to get the whole thing in the manner that he likes he wanted it to be heard it’s different because he’s a completely different person with your right being a husband and a father and everything comes out a little bit differently, but he still has that powerful way of touching you with his songs.

[@Abby-lovebae]

Subtract is heavy and it’s all about when he was going through this. Where his wife got cancer while she was pregnant and then Jamall died and it was just spiraling for him so subtract his basically what came out of that time in his life those months during that where he didn’t know what to do and he put it all in songs and all of them have a specific meaning to him and that’s why they’re good, they are a little dark but still, But I can still hear the Ed that we know in love and every single track

[@KaiLucasZachary]

@@Abby-lovebae Subtract is far better than Equal or No 6. I gave both plenty fair chance from start to finish. The majority is radio pop, not the type of lyrics and songwriting that made people fall in love with him at the start.
