17 Ed Sheeran Lyrics That Will Make You Cry
Hollywood Reporter

Whether Ed Sheeran sings a love song that just melts your heart or he’s singing a song that touches upon some really serious subjects, he never fails to bring on the waterworks. Here are some lyrics that are especially tear-jerking:

1. "Supermarket Flowers"

Spread your wings as you go, when God takes you back

He’ll say, “Hallelujah, you’re home.”

2. "Afire Love"

My father told me, son

It’s not his fault he doesn’t know your face

You’re not the only one

Although my grandma used to say

He used to sing

3. "All of the Stars"

And I know these scars will bleed

But both of our hears believe

All of these stars will guide us home

4. "Happier"

I could try to smile to hide the truth

But I know I was happier

5. "The A Team"

But lately her face seems

Slowly, sinking, wasting

6. "Lego House"

I’m out of sight, I’m out of mind

I’ll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I’ve done, I think I love you better now

7. "Tenerife Sea"

Should this be the last thing I see

I want you to know it’s enough for me

‘Cause al that you are is all that I’ll ever need

8. "Kiss Me"

And with a feeling I’ll forget, I’m in love now

9. "Cold Coffee"

Tell me how to fall in love the way you want me to

10. "Give Me Love"

Paint splattered teardrops on my shirt

Told you I’d let them go

11. "Nina"

Oh Nina, you should go Nina

‘Cause I ain’t ever coming home Nina

Oh won’t you leave me now

12. "Photograph"

We keep this love in a photograph

13. "How Would You Feel (Paean)"

I’ll be taking my time, spending my life

Falling deeper in love with you

So tell me that you love me too

14. "Save Myself"

And all the ones that love me they just left me on a shelf

No farewell

So before I save someone else, I’ve got the save myself

15. "Wake Me Up"

And you will never know just how beautiful you are to me

But maybe I’m just in love when you wake me up

16. "Autumn Leaves"

Another love that’s gone to waste

Another light lost from your face

It’s complicated

17. "Thinking Out Loud"

Cause honey, your soul could never grow old, it’s evergreen

And, baby, your smile’s forever in my mind and memory

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
