I am a 78 year old woman who has also dealt with sadness, depression and fear. When I finally sought professional help at age 47, God answered my plea for help. I relate so very much to this young man and hope and pray that he continues to be a musical prodigy for those of us who suffer. He blesses my life!

[@rebecagonzalez1434]

I love Ed from the song perfect because that's what my husband used to say on our date nights when I would ask him how I looked!!! He is gone now and I miss him every single day.. But Ed has the perfect way of singing thoughts that we all have but can't express! So I love him and continued success for him 😘😘

[@brendawright1767]

[@lynnesnyder6050]

I love this man. He doesn't know it, but he is my son. Lol Seriously though, his music & the way he lives his life touch my soul deeply. My daughter, granddaughter & I had the great privilege of seeing him in person last summer on his multiply tour. Such a wonderful life experience! I will carry to my grave! I am 67 & one of your biggest fans Ed! Much love!

[@Sheila-ju3th]

His music makes me think,it makes the hairs stand on the back of my neck. I suffer from anxiety and depression alot of drama in my life,self harm. But his music always lifts me ,I'm not alone with these thoughts. I wish his family all the best of healt and happiness. You are the best never forget that,my favourite singer song writer by far.

For all men it’s alright to cry you will feel better after a good cry❤

[@jennybuxton2790]

Such a special guy 😢❤

[@maryellwood3653]

Ed Sheeran is a true, wonderful, natural artist, I absolutely love his music. As soon as I heard his music I felt like that. Amazing guy. He reminds me of the classic artists of the 60's and 70's. It breaks my heart to think of him struggling emotionally, please take care of yourself Ed

[@pamcollins1651]

Seeing this video of a beautiful young man experiencing all the raw emotions life brings, had me in tears. I’m 67 yo and have loved his songs for a long time. I had no idea that he was going through heartache in 2022 I was grieving the loss of my 40yo son at that time. Ed’s songs carried me through my dark days but they mean even more to me now after watching this video! Thank you Ed Sheeran, you are remarkable 😘

[@Dazzzz72]

WOW... I have no words, only tears of pain, joy, reflection and admiration... I have always liked Ed but now there is a love for a great man. Hats off to you mate

[@juliefishburn8455]

I filled up when he gave the boy his guitar, what a lovely gesture ❤

[@m.a.nugent8278]

This documentary was well done. Thank you and thanks to Ed for allowing you to show what appears to be the real Ed!

[@Fangurlandreactor1917]

He was really strong at that time. I ❤u ed. He is a person with absolute greatness,sweetness and love.

[@Julie-jh2tv]

Oh, wow. What a beautiful documentary... ♡

[@zeitgeistdocumentaries]

Thanks ❤️🤗

[@LUITESLIFE]

A musicians job isn't to entertain people. It's to make them feel whatever you felt when writing your music.

[@marciahyde1539]

He has a beautiful mind and so much is in that mind......that the floodgates have to open.😢❤

[@Fangurlandreactor1917]

Yeah ❤❤

[@alyn927]

In my mid 70s and have loved Ed for years as do my grandchildren that told me when they were quite young that they loved the words to his songs and they used to sing them. Thankyou

[@kristybouley5896]

Love Ed Sheeran and his music - even more so now that I have seen this documentary.

[@Chap17]

A Very Powerful Transformational Man ❤❤❤❤Thank you for your courage You Rock 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mnaus43]

I can't help but think of how proud his parents must be of him.....trying to balance the ability to be the star of the show with a heart that is so tied to his family and friends....a rare combination. Kudos to you, Ed Sheeran!

[@FadiTerro]

I really hope Ed is happy, i love him with all my heart, and i wish him the best always :( 💜

[@sharonhansen7410]

Great documentary. He looks just like my son and l just want to give him a great big hug 🥰 from 🇦🇺 love you 🥰

[@marlenesullivan3113]

ED IS SO SWEET & HUMBLE, HE'S WALK THROUGH LIFE HAD HIGHS & LOWS BUT HE STAYED WITH HIS L♡VE FOR MUSIC & WE ARE SO GLAD HE DID..IT'S OK TO HAVE A CRY TO LET EVERYTHING OUT. L ♡ V E YOU FOREVER ED🚶‍♂️

[@jeanniecampbell1374]

Love this and it just popped up ...a great Musician and human ..sing my poem Ed !

[@allisonhopper-sanchez3548]

I was never a crier either I always held it all inside. I was raised up learning that crying means you're weak so for 42 years I held it together until I met the person who would teach me otherwise. It was my now best friend who told me that crying is a sign of strength. I am now 49 and I cry. Ed Sheeran puts his tears in his songs and even though I have never met Ed I feel his pain. Just like he says in "Even my dad does sometimes" yes it's alright to cry it replenishes the soul. I've been in therapy for years and none of my therapists have said it's ok to cry. I hope that Ed Sheeran can find the strength to be able to cry with his wife in private. I am an Ed Sheeran super fan and I wish him the best in all his endeavors. I hope that his future is bright and full of happiness. You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers always. I look forward to hearing more great music from you Ed. Best wishes for the future. I can't wait to hear what he does next. Ed you're fans love you no matter what. I pray you find the peace you need whether it's crying or laughter in life and in music. Thank you, Ed Sheeran for your honesty.

[@Rascal19617]

Love his singing voice & his songs. 😊

[@iristorres1349]

My #1 artist of all time! He has the most beautiful lyrics and a heart to match. I pray I can see him perform one day🙏

[@aceystay1]

We all love him cos we all can feel how he feels as i feel everyone go’s through similar things and ed can sing it out loud where a lot of us would rather hide it away and ed has wrote about the most painful and personal things in life i love his music ❤❤❤ he has been through alot for such a young person

[@slash2487]

Love Ed's music. What a beautiful soul.❤❤❤😊😊😊

[@LynnDipio]

Such a heartfelt interview, Ed put into words and music feelings we all have at times in our lives. Sometimes you have to just go and have a good cleansing cry. The feelings will find a way to come out of you suppress them❤

[@kathidau768]

So true❤

[@JenniferAdair-lj7ic]

ED WHEN YOU HAVE BROKEN LEG PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT BUT THEY CANT SEE WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR MIND ITS ALL RIGHT TO CRY ED I SEND MY LOVE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SharonBoodram]

This is so real well done documentary Ed writes How he feels in his music / greif never goes away /you accept it with time and learn to live with it everything changes when you loose someone you love only when u experience lost in different forms you truly understand this life we all live !

[@zeitgeistdocumentaries]

Thank you for the feedback :)

[@apryledwards4507]

❤❤❤ I totally understand all of this because music is my therapy I also understand how he lost his best friend like his brother and I also understand why he did not want to cry in front of anybody but in actuality crying is our venting mechanism that God created in US we were created to be soft and fried because even Jesus wept I love this young man he is a true inspiration to the music industry and he wrote a whole album about pain and suffering and it helped me to be able to create my own song last year I wrote my first song because of Ed Sheeran last year in May after hearing his song called boat and then his whole subtract album❤❤ he's a wonderful sweet kind-hearted musical genius and a very giving young man he is so great to all the other music artists and gives a lot of his money to high schools to save music programs and yes music is needed in the schools so very much I would not even be able to sing at all if it was not for being in choir in school and growing up with music love you Ed Sheeran❤❤❤ and I do feel your pain in your music you are the best in the world all of your songs have true emotions and heartfelt stories you deserve your success you work very hard❤❤

[@joanalmarghani661]

One of the best musicians of this generation

[@LaLaKnight]

[@LynneGreyling-je9jn]

Ed., you are a true inspiration for young and old alike. You are my favourite performer.

[@michaellopez6068]

I live in a cave but I always listen to music when I wake up it’s the first thing I do I’ve heard the songs and I said man that’s beautiful oh that’s a great song not till today that I was able to put a face to the music I should get out of my cave more often excellent documentary

[@user-be5js8jb3f]

The first time I saw Ed, he was only 19, I knew then he had a magical talent. ❤❤❤

[@PhoenixRising734]

I've been steadily having a rougher time mentally as I age & have had to give up on dreams that I thought I would pursue on retirement. I have realized that I am grieving and angry over the loss of those dreams & what I expected my retired life to be. I cry every day. I finally reached out to a friend & asked if they could come see me so I can talk to someone. They immediately said yes & will be at my home tomorrow. BTW, excellent documentary.

[@LornaAnnMcCabe]

Thank you I am 58 bedbound housebound with ms and a sew of bad news made me cry with that’s the words in my head I couldn’t write! Thank you ed, praying for you

[@ginaiosef]

Retaining his tears might have led him to other body diseases and troubles. The best thing that might have happened to him so far is crying for real. Let the tears flow out and clean. Hope him the best in the world! ❤

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Oh my goodness, I cried thru most of this. Poor poor Ed. My whole heart goes out to him.

[@martinas.4808]

Ich wünsche Ed eine gute und ehrliche Freundschaft und keine Einsamkeit!

[@fralinsandfriends]

God bless him. I went through something similar when I was 40. The dam broke then I spent two years on a depressed fog. I'm bipolar but when I thought it would end all respect for me from my loved ones. There's the stigma from others, but those I love and my relationship with Jesus Christ proved I'm loved. 😊😊👋👋❤❤

[@debrabjorkman2329]

Thank you so much for this documentary. I really didn't know your music but I feel your pain. You are an inspiration to millions/billions around the world! I sincerely hope this process really helped you. If you are ever in the Palm Springs California area I'd love to have you over for a chat and to bread bread. This woman who is 67 years old is your newest fan not just because of your music but because of the man you are. Your new friend, Debra Bjorkman.

[@Jasfinsheerio2774]

So emotional 😭😭 thanks for posted 🥺😢

[@pattiepitts5893]

the pain of grief is just beyond words. Let those tears out that is what they’re for just like laughter when somethings funny or a smile.If you don’t it will consume your soul and the depression sets in. 😢LET IT OUT DEAR MAN OR ANYONE I’m not religious but I have no doubt we will see each other again❤

[@roxanneherrman2107]

Crying is a sign of humanity!

[@DonaldMcRoland]

He has such a hard life with all his money. It just makes me cry. I'm glad I'm not rich. I feel sorry for the poor guy. He's doing just the right thing to put money before music. It just makes me cry.

[@beckyhazlett2162]

This was a wonderful documentary 👏 ❤ and I think some of the best descriptions of what Ed felt like during these times.

[@elizabethjuell723]

we are all human. Blessings are the ups and downs. Owning your emotions makes a more balanced person. Letting go in letting tears fall, makes room for joy.

[@pennyc11]

We are all blessed that Ed found his gift and pushed through the sadness. A wonderful Testament about life. If you do not give up? There will be good times ahead. Just do not keep yourself trapped in.pain and sorrow. I cannot say it loud enough. Please, do not keep enduring pain and abuse. There will be no sunshine living with someone's anger and resentment that turns into abuse. It takes work, some risks but freedom from abuse is why we can live. You can do it and there will be some happiness left when you do. Thank you, Ed and family for giving us joy, fun and helping us thru sorrow. We appreciate all of you.

[@hughiebrophyHind]
