Ed Sheeran penned this aching, raw song as a tribute to his beloved grandmother Anne on the day she died. Speaking to British newspaper The Sun about writing the heartfelt tune he said, "That was the day my gran passed away. I was at my home. It's just a knee-jerk reaction. You can be really upset and dwell on something or you can put all the good memories in one song."
It was Anne who inspired both Ed and his brother Matthew, a classical composer, to pursue a career in music. Ed celebrates here the impact she had on him. "I just wanted to make a tribute to my gran," the singer explained. "She was the musical one in my family. Hopefully I will pass that on to my kids."
Sheeran explained the song title: "My gran passed away and we were clearing out her hospital room and the supermarket flowers from the windowsill and having that moment," he told Nova FM.
