The two songs “Don’t” and “Castle on the Hill” are two of Ed Sheeran’s most personal stories. Each story tells a different tale but equally displays an insightful event in Ed Sheeran’s life. The use of a variety of techniques helps to connect the singer to the audience in an extremely special way.
Each song connects to its audience differently, but allow as to get a closer grasp as to the real Ed Sheeran. In the music video ‘don’t’, we see a younger version of Ed sing about a relationship that has turned sour. The song was written four years ago and talks about the learning outcome of this event. He sings about respect and commitment, qualities that he wants in a partner, and how he has experienced this new and daunting “love”. Several years later we see “castle on the hill”, a song focused on this idea of Sheeran’s past experiences and how he has developed. By looking at these two personal compositions we can see how he has matured and grown over the years. He now sings from a point of view that is a lot more mature and reminiscent than what it was years back.

By listening to each of these personal songs we get a much better insight into Sheeran’s life. Personally, I can see how Ed Sheeran has changed and matured over the years. Not only that, but the type of music that he is producing and releasing. The repetition of chorus’ in each song also emphasises on this change and can help the audience to compare his life.
