No effects, no auto-tune, nothing fancy, just him and a guitar, and it's better than 99% of the music on the radio these days. Pure music!!

[MS-pthz]

a river was his stage. Now its the wembley stadion. So damn proud. This is no autotune, band or something. Its just he with his guitar and this blows thousands of minds.

[-yamikaze]

love how he stares and the children and smiles singing about drug addiction and the girl selling love to another man.

[x.stolker]

After 7 years since this was uploaded it still surprises me that Ed was still so calm and kept on singing while being under the bridge and almost bumped his head he is the real artist

[johndo]

the bus driver is like "ladies and gentlemen, if you look to the right, there's an Ed Sheeran on the river singing"

[nigel]

Its funny to look at that young man, who had no idea what lay before him. Selling out stadiums, world wide recognition, and he's not even reached his full potential yet. I've never met him, but he seems a truly lovely guy.

[jian]

NO BRIDGE CAN STOP ED SHEERAN SINGING. LOL.

[jimjoyce]

Been clean 3 years. This song means more than I ever think he'll realize

[stevmad]

Intro, verse 1, prechorus, chorus 1, **SUDDEN BRIDGE** verse 2, prechorus, chorus 1, bridge, prechorus, chorus 2

[MsFunsizedgirl]

My favorite part is when they reach the bridge and Ed just ducks down and continues to sing and play without missing a single note, I love him so much!<3

[Ariyakulchaiyasin]

1:08 I actually screamed out 'Ed, your head!!!' and then laughed when he made it through the bridge like that. And then mind blown, how can you still sound perfect in that position!?! Pure talent!

[Redhawk]

Bridge: “I’m about to end this mans whole career”

Ed: “are you sure about that?”

[billythornton]

Imagine him doing this now. Someone would tweet a pic and suddenly thousands of people would be on the banks watching him

[joshman]

why these people so chill at ed singing while floating past them, is this such a usual thing that they just like "oh its just ed jammin again" like jeez

[Klocks]

Weird to think that he'll never be able to do something like this again, this entire boat session is a gem.

[derbdep]

This takes me baaack! I lived in Japan at the time teaching English (no jobs back home at the time). Came back home to London after 2013.. And now I’m living in the Philippines. What a life. This takes the years off.

[Ooze]

Who dislikes this? Seriously, i personally prefer heavy music and rock, but this is guy is a breath of fresh air, just him and his guitar, nothing overproduced or written by anyone else, this is something increasingly rare in nowadays. Go to a video just to dislike it is something else.

[lapematd]

I can't help but notice how he sweetly smiles to the children while singing about drugs and the life of a prostitute. Gotta love him for always being kind.

[croustitrans]

Am i the one person who love the smile on his face? <3

11 years ago, I was at the gym struggling to do sit-ups when I first heard this song. 11 years later this huge artist is still my favorite. ❤️
