The other day I heard the most beautiful song I've listened to in quite sometime.
The heartbreakingly saddening lovely tune "The A Team" by Ed Sheeran is completely inexpressibly phenomenal. I don't think I've ever been more captivated by a music video ever before. I've easily watched it 20 times in the past two days. Each time it touches me again.
The story is of a young woman who is homeless, and sells herself to buy drugs and attempt to make a living. It's truly depressing in the most serious sense of the word, and it's very heavy. It almost brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it. Apparently it only cost Sheeran 20 quid to do the whole thing.
The song is gorgeous and I've listened to it so many times it should be illegal. It's really mellow and light, but the subject and the lyrics make it weighted and keep you listening. His accent is gentle and doesn't distract from the words at all.
I don't think I've heard a song and seen a video that has genuinely touched me as much as "The A Team". It's absolute perfection
