Ed Sheeran spent most of his childhood years in the English countryside town of Framlingham, Suffolk, before moving to London at the age of 17 to pursue a music career. He pays homage on this nostalgic pop-rock number to his upbringing in the provincial Eastern England town.
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
chorus of the song after the lines
“One friend left to sell clothes
One works down by the coast
One had two kids but lives alone
One's brother overdosed
One's already on his second wife
One's just barely getting by
But these people raised me
And I can't wait to go home”
We see Ed Sheeran in 2017 hanging out with his friends of today. We see them reminisce and chat in the same spot they used to hang out at (over the castle on the hill). The entire video does absolute justice to the song. By having a music video, not only does the lyrics seem even more real but we can see exactly what Sheeran is talking about when singing his lyrics. It makes the song so much more personal.
Basically, we think that Ed Sheeran’s castle on the hill is an awesome depiction of his life growing up. The video and the lyrics work so well together and have created a story that Sheeran’s fans can admire and relate to.
