A moving masterpiece filled with love for his hometown and memories of youth has been delivered by UK artist Ed Sheeran.

From a childhood bone-breaking accident to his first love at age 15, this warm work is packed with nostalgia.

Released in January 2017 as a lead single from the album ÷, and featured in the animated films Ferdinand and How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the song is written as a love letter to his hometown of Framlingham.

Now an adult, he gently portrays his childhood friends each walking their own path, singing of the flow of changing time and feelings that remain unchanged, carried by a powerful melody.

It’s a gem of a track that resonates with the universal sentiment of having a place or person you want to recall when you feel uncertain or lost.
