There are some artists whose music speaks to us in a way that others just can’t. The lyrics have such deep meaning we can feel them in our hearts and souls. Ed Sheeran is one of those musicians. We can’t help but sing along to his hit songs like Castle On The Hill, Photograph, Perfect, Shape Of You, and Thinking Out Loud. Ed’s songwriting ability is unparalleled, and he played a song at a recent show that not only brought the audience to tears but also made him cry. Ed Sheeran wrote Supermarket Flowers about the death of his grandmother from his mom’s perspective. A fan held up a sign asking Ed to play it. A brief moment later, and with tears in his eyes, he did.
