  • Summary

  • Welcome to Season 5 of Encore! We'll have new episodes until the end of the year to keep you going with even MORE stories from the songs you love!

    Perhaps more than any artist so far on Encore, Ed Sheeran has been the most difficult one to determine just which song to feature. The guy is just such a consistent and reliable hitmaker.

    He’s also a bit of an outlier. Although he established himself as an acoustic troubadour, over the span of his two-decade career, he has evolved and adapted as an artist to suit just about any style: from bubblegum pop to hip-hop to country to rock. And it doesn’t matter what type of music he’s making, it always seems to be at the top of the charts. But I think we found the right song for this episode. Not only one of the biggest songs he’s ever released, but one of the most interesting and dare I say, even a little controversial?

    You’ll understand by the end of this, trust me.

    This is the story of Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' with newly unearthed audio from Ed Sheeran!
