Listen: "Castle on the Hill" – Ed Sheeran


Opening from his raw memories at 6-years-old, Ed sings,

I was running from my blood brother and his friends
and tasted the sweet perfume of the mount grass I rolled down

This childhood vignette reminds us that every adult was once an innocent kid with few responsibilities — that there was a time when 'rolling downward mount grass' was the most exhilarating activity you could practice.

Then follows the nostalgic heartfelt chorus:

I'thousand on my fashion
Driving at 90 down those state lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the manner you make me experience, and it'south real
We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

Sheeran pays homage to another great Brit – the living-legend himself, Sir Elton John, who has delivered iconic anthems since the '70s. Sheeran sings about returning to his babyhood home, where it seems he enjoyed the best time of his life. Possibly he's giving his hometown of Framlingham Suffolk credit for his success considering growing up elsewhere might accept brought him a different issue. Anybody has that one place that makes them experience safe and loved – the i place that evokes the same tender feelings that Ed belts out in his tenor. The chorus too contains a hidden gem in this track: the rapid loftier notes Ed toots out during the second and 3rd time he croons the chorus. The command in his voice when switching from low to high notes is one of his strengths as a singer.

Fifteen years onetime and smoking hand-rolled cigarettes
Running from the constabulary through the backfields and getting drunkard with my friends
Had my commencement kiss on a Friday night, I don't reckon that I did information technology right
But I was younger then, take me back to when…

The side by side verse continues his journeying equally a rebellious teenager unconcerned about the consequences of smoking, and rampage drinking, in addition to his first kiss. Ed touches upon a very mutual and relatable attribute of one's boyhood: curious experimentation. Let's as well not gaze over how he mentions him and others funded those boisterous adventures with part-time or weekend jobs.

We plant weekend jobs, when we got paid
We'd purchase cheap spirits and drink them straight

The span of the song is when his trek transitions to the present with a nighttime, contemptuous, nevertheless very humane turn. He takes annotation of his childhood friends and how they are all leading such different lives despite sharing the same "sunset," a metaphor for growing up in the same town. Some made it, while others faltered. You lot tin hear the emotionally-fueled sorrow in his raspy voice as he wishes they didn't have to endure their hardships. He slowly sings, "One'south brother overdosed, one's already on his second wife, one's just barely getting by." This is an extremely thought-provoking function of the song, as it makes 1 ponder the fate of one'southward own friends from youth. Did they arrive, or are they struggling like some of Ed's friends are?

Musically, this is an experimental song for Ed Sheeran that uses stone-influenced guitar riffs with an upbeat drum undertone. This comeback demonstrates he can practice more than than soft-spoken love ballads. It continues to illustrate the 25-yr-old Ed Sheeran as an ordinary, relatable lad. With lyrics that transcend Framlingham Suffolk, it'd no shocker if Atlantic Records were to take another chart-topper in their easily. "Castle on the Hill" volition proceed the states satisfied until his upcoming album Separate drops.
