Ed Sheeran - Azizam (Looper Performance Live from Old Delhi)

"I loved learning Azizam on the loop pedal. My mind goes into like full jigsaw puzzle mode trying to work out which pieces fit where and in what order. It’s like mental acrobatics. Here’s me playing it on a roof top in Old Delhi, enjoy" - Ed

Azizam Lyrics:

Azizam
Meet me on the floor tonight
Show me how to move like the water
In between the dancing lights
Be mine be mine
Azizam

I wanna be nowhere but here with you now
I wanna be one in this space
I wanna be tangled and wrapped in your cloud
I wanna be close to your face

Well tomorrow can wait
Losing time in this place
Till the sun is awake
Be like a magnet on me

I don’t care what they say
We can do it our way
And if love’s just a game
Then come and play

Azizam
Meet me on the floor tonight
Show me how to move like the water
In between the dancing lights
Be mine be mine
Azizam

Azizam
Azizam

I wanna get lost in your ocean and drown
I wanna be careless and free
I wanna live here in the moment we found
I wanna be all that you see

Well tomorrow can wait
Losing time in this place
Till the sun is awake
Be like a magnet on me

I don’t care what they say
We can do it our way
And if love’s just a game
Then come and play

Azizam
Meet me on the floor tonight
Show me how to move like the water
In between the dancing lights
Be mine be mine
Azizam

Azizam
Meet me on the floor tonight
Show me how to move like the water
In between the dancing lights
Be mine be mine
Azizam

Azizam
Azizam
Azizam

For those curious, “azizam” is used as a term of endearment meaning “my dear” or “my beloved.” We use it a lot in Persian culture. Cool to hear Ed Sheeran making a song with that word.

[thedyingdetective]

he’s so incredibly talented, it’s insane, give this man a grammy

[IsaacV]

There’s nothing like seeing the looper live!!! It’s like a performance of its own before he does the song and it’s incredible!!

[brendankirbyacoustics]

So happy Ed still uses his loop pedal. He’s the very reason I bought my first loop pedal. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

[lucassobris]

You should release it on Spotify, honestly. And that goes for every looper version of a song you do, it’s honestly the coolest musician trait you have, in my opinion.

[arayoon]

Dear Ed, I'm a Persian girl who has loved you since her childhood, since your amazing X album and you just dropped a song especially for her culture! It's an absolute honor!!! Love you so much!!!❤❤❤❤

[DivyaThakur-yrzr]

He's a walking band and to do it alone is insane. Kudos man

[Aaliahere]

Being from Delhi, this means SO MUCH to us. Thanks for all you do, Ed 💘💘💘

[Marcel-uy]

The perfect description of getting lost in the void of people, feeling the chaos searching, having and praying to and for your and directly to your other half. Thank you for this Ed❤❤❤

[zakariatartibian]

He blew up even more with this amazing song. Much love from Canada! 🇨🇦 🇮🇷

[FayYazsa]

As an Iranian, I’m proud, thanks Azizam(sweetheart)

[kbear]

💖Love seeing Ed all grown up, married, Daddy & Still writing the most Beautiful Lyrics & Incredible Music & Sound🔥xx

[kaushikdutta]

Ed is truly becoming singer of the world. Thanks for bringing cultural diversity. ❤

[Littlechonch]

When I tell you my jaw dropped when I heard the word azizam on the radio in Australia, it’s a small representation of us Iranians but it makes me really happy :)

[sohrabsalari-iwbv]

Love and being loved in Persian culture is always so pure and beyond imagination. It’s been described in the most delicate way by Timeless Legends of Persian poetry

like Ferdowsi, Hafez, Saadi, and many others.

Thank you for using the word “Azizam” in your lyrics and choosing such beautiful Persian music — it truly feels like pure love. Like home. No matter where we are or where we come from, love is beautiful, innocent, and beyond borders.

[VaisakhSomanath]

The good old Ed. Love this version <3

[genlovesoceanlightlife]

Ed is one of the rare ACTUAL MUSICIANS. He doesn’t just sing. Doesn’t just play guitar. Doesn’t just play piano. Doesn’t just perform well. Doesn’t just write music. Doesn’t just write lyrics. Doesn’t just produce. This man DOES IT ALL BEAUTIFULLY ❤❤❤ I believe he’s going down in history as a new legend.

[angelamary]

I'm 73 years young and i love Ed songs ❤

[Jacques-]

In an interview not so long ago...he said...he doesnt really have the pop idol look...but one thing is certain.. hes definitely one of the very best on stage performers
