"Castle on the Hill" is a nostalgic and heartwarming song that takes listeners through Ed Sheeran's childhood memories in the countryside of Suffolk, England. This stripped-down acoustic version provides a raw and emotional take on the song's already captivating lyrics. The guitar strums and Sheeran's soulful vocals perfectly convey the bittersweet tone of the song. #BehindtheMusic
"The sunset over the castle on the hill" is about an actual castle in Ed's hometown. He was invited to perform the song at the castle itself in 2017...No word on whether or not it contains any dragons or treasure.🐉💰🐉💰 #BehindtheMusic
Ed wanted to make a song like Bruce Springsteen's "The River". Springsteen's song went Gold, Sheeran's went 9x Platinum...So mission accomplished. #BehindtheMusic
