Ed Sheeran Takes Runner's Song Request While Filming Music Video

It’s one thing to have Ed Sheeran on your playlist; it’s another to meet him in real life, but you won’t believe what he does! Ed Sheeran takes a runner’s song request while filming a video. When we think of love songs, Ed Sheeran is at the top of the list with hits like ‘Perfect’ and ‘Thinking Out Loud.’ 

My runner’s playlist includes ‘Galway Girl’ because of its fresh, peppy beat about love that lasts a lifetime. I have no idea what I would do if I were out for my morning run, and I saw a red-headed man sitting in the back of a boat on a canal that runs alongside the sidewalk. I would be stunned. It would be like a scene straight out of a movie. Things like this usually don’t happen in real life. And I certainly don’t think I could even form a sentence, much less have a conversation. But the gal in this video had no problem talking to Ed. 

Picture this: You’ve committed to keeping yourself healthy, so you grab your running shoes and your headphones, and you’re out the door to hit the streets and get that mile or two in. You decide to run along the canal for the morning to take in the beautiful views. The next thing you see is a man sitting in the back of a green boat with a guitar. It takes a second, but you realize it’s Ed Sheeran. He then says hello and asks if you have any song requests! This gal didn’t waste any time with her answer. She smiled and requested, ‘Tenerife Sea.’ 

He then belts out the first few lines, and the runner can’t help but pull out her phone to record the moment Ed serenades her on her run. 

‘You look so wonderful in your dress

I love your hair like that

The way it falls on the side of your neck

Down your shoulders and back’

The video of Ed went viral with over 300,000 views and hundreds of comments! One viewer said it would be a moment she would remember forever. “She will remember this every time she runs this route. I love Ed for the actions - and he obviously does too!” Another woman couldn’t believe his sweet act of kindness, she commented, “That is so sweet; he's such a great guy. Look how happy he made her. Definitely made her day!” I couldn’t agree more. 

Can you imagine? A morning run turned into a solo concert with one of the world’s biggest stars. For the runner, it’s a memory that will undoubtedly last a lifetime. And for the rest of us? It's a reminder that sometimes, the unexpected can lead to the most unbelievable experiences.
