New Ed Sheeran video shot in galway.

Okay so first off, I know the song will annoy some haha. And the choice of name is beyond annoying. But thoughts on the music video? I feel its a pretty good representation of the city and pretty well made

A good representation? I have never took a punch in Galway, and still don't know where Grafton Street is there.

DontThankMe

While I do think the music video is great I'm sick to death of hearing that song and his other one "shape of you" on the radio. They are two of the most overplayed songs on the radio at the moment.

It is about a girl from Galway by any chance?

Hande hoche!

Does it feature a scene with Ed shedding his skin?

Jack the Stripper

He badly needs a hair cut.

Does this manufactured shíte really need another thread?

WesternZulu

Dancing on a table in O'Connell's pub in Eyre Square like Saoirse Ronan without getting swiftly thrown out is not an accurate representation of Galway.

Having lived here for 4 years, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt the power tripping bouncers employed in this town would have had them kicked out as soon as the girl started dancing on the table.

Apart from that I like the video

He deserves a forum of his own on Boards now at this stage.

Ed Sheeran shot in Galway??:eek:
Good. Was it fatal?

bigpink

Is he big world wide?

Outlaw Pete

Carlow Girl or Navan Men... would be more accurate.

Boards.ie badly needs a 'Ed Sheeran' forum at this stage.

Stick it into the 'General Terrorism' forum which is badly needed also.

Definitely big in the US, not sure about other countries.

It's a nice advert for Galway from a tourism standpoint, will probably get a few hundred million views of on youtube.

Yes.

State of you was number 1 for 12 weeks in the US, for example.

Heard an interview with/about the guy on Irish radio and he seems like a decent person, singing down the phone to young people with terminal illnesses and all that. Fair play.

Arghus

Galway person here. The cringe is hard with that video.

Nah, I don't buy that noise Tom man. This Sheeran lad is basically being used by the established record industry to create a false "everything is groovy" and cutesy mindset amongst his young fans.
Today, All young people, those who are healthy and also those who are ill, are totally ignored, and have been totally forgotten and left behind by the mainstream establishment. The mainstream establishment record label this Sheeran lad is part of. Young people should be out there, mobilised and addressing to change this f**ked up situation through vocal anger and protest. But they probably won't bother seeing as how the mainstream "cultural" pop music artists they are fed night and day like this Sheeran lad don't want to address it either, he's singing about cats and fluffy kisses on the cheeks behind the bike shed.
Where is the energy? The anger? The protest at the actual grim reality situation for all the young people today? Sheerans shtick is Total absolute fake manufactured soap opera pop nonsense.

Arghus

He's a lovely lad and all but it doesn't change the fact that his music is gack.

Steve The Barman

of course Tommy Tiernan and Hector the 2 plebs had to be involved FFS....

Made it to 43 seconds that's the first for me with an ed sheeran song...

I was 4 and hurt my knee, la la la....snowflake loved me, la la la....

Was that video shot in O'Connells pub on Eyre Square? Remember drinking at O'Connells when I was there with my friends a few years back. Looks like the same pub in the video.

Also the Irish dancing :rolleyes:

Don't get everybody's hopes up by juxtaposing Ed Sheeran and Shot in the same title.

I thought that too... someone had read the other thread about Ed's true reptilian nature and taken matters into his or her own hands.

ARGH, he's responsible for that song! I truly hate it.

Definitely a lizard. Only a lizard could have come up with that set of bizarre lyrics. And maybe lizards do encourage their hatchlings to marry young.

Heckler

I lasted a minute and a half before I shat myself with ****e of it all, Its a godawful song for starters and when the Irish dancers started in...


Bewitched C'est la Vie is actually better than this utter scutter.

Edit: I watched the whole thing. It doesn't get any better.

He seems like a decent guy but by Christ his songs are annoying as hell which doesn't help that they are on the radio every 2 goddamn minutes. His tattoos look like they were drawn on by a 2 year old and how he's considered attractive is beyond me.

Only jealous because there are and were far more talented bands out there. He just got lucky.

From the start the bearded hipster barman set how annoying it was going to be.

I'm stabbing for the channel change button the second he comes on.

He boils my piss big time.

maudgonner

He made a video about going on the piss in Galway and didn't include a scene in Supermacs, Eyre Square, after the pub. Not a glimpse of a Snackbox or a Mighty Mac.

Fail.

They were only around the corner from it and all. Pathetic!

Love how all the cool people couldn't possibly tolerate watching the whole video

A lot of bruised male egos when you mention Ed Sheeran it seems...

There were two guys giving out about him like that on the radio the other day, one questioning why all these "brilliant" artists never made it while ES did. He proceeded to play one of these "potential shoulddabeen ES".









'nough said.

murpho999

Saw it yesterday.

Dissappointed with Saoirse Ronan and other Irish 'celebs' getting involved in this Irish scmaltz featuring pubs, Guinness, Irish dancing and fighting.

Video goes all over the world and confirms the Irish stereotype.

Ed Sheeran should be told that he's not really Irish and judging by the video he approved and took part in he has no clue about Ireland either.

Also, to finish off, the song is utter rubbish and more plagiarism from Ed as usual.

I shouldnt have expected anything less from After Hours.... Man this site has aged poorly. Anything and everything posted is met with a massive cry of " im in my mid-life crisis" Whinge.

Im out.
