My uncle is a volunteer at the charity and was one of the guys that showed Ed round and introduced him to everyone including Angel

[gabbyalexandra]

it's like he can see through people and describe them in such a beautiful way

It’s not everyday that you get artist like Ed who volunteer at shelters. God bless him. I love this song.

[AmetafJohora]

ed is so wonderful for bringing this issue to light

[jennaiferkash]

i love ed sheeran and how hes a artist in singing and writing

[wickedzangel]

this song is about struggle did you not just listen to him about the first line he wrote about being just under the upper hand..."angel" didn't prostate to do drugs...she did drugs because she prostates....life is a giant struggle and the drugs were for coping...this song is brilliant I have seen and met some of the homeless in California and a lot of people don't realize most don't choose to be there, they just need a push this song brings awareness and its amazing, good job!

[okonhwp]

I applaud him for not just writing cheesy songs about love like One Direction. There are enough of those on the air. He write a thought-provoking song about something topical that makes us all think

This video is the reason why I am unsubscribing to TG ... both the You tube page and from the magazines. I shouldn't be surprised that every now and then that TG publish things that I'm not interested in. But this is a joke, Ed Sheeran is a joke and I don't care about being thumbs down'd or what ever some jumped arsehole thinks. TG used to be about good gear and album reviews and the best of guitar not this.
