Ed Sheeran, singer, songwriter, musician and now….dancer! Watch Ed’s stunning new video for his gorgeous love song Thinking Out Loud. Dancing With the Stars eat your heart out!

Unlike the music videos for other songs on Ed’s chart topping album X which paint quite colourful stories, this video is incredibly simple and very sweet. Sheeran just dances with an unnamed incredibly skilled dancer for the whole 4 minute track. They zoom back and forth in a perfectly choreographed dance routine in a stunning, old-school-romantic setting, complete with chandelier’s, high ceilings and opulent furniture.
It’s the perfect visual for such a romantic song. And boy is it romantic! With lyrics like: “Take me into your loving arms / Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars / Place your head on my beating heart” surely it will be played at every wedding from now on. Sheeran says he thinks the romantic ballad has what it takes to become a fan-favorite love song. “I think this is gonna be one of those songs that gets played to death,” he joked. “Then no one wants it at their wedding because they’re just like, ‘Oh yeah, that song’s not special anymore.””
“Thinking Out Loud is one of my favorite tracks on the album, if not my favorite,” Ed commented in a press release for the video. “It’s a great one to perform live and means a lot to me. I wanted the video to be a little different, so I opted for ballroom dancing. I had lessons for 5 hours a day when I was on my US tour last month.”
We all knew he was talented but this takes things to another level. He trained very hard to get this right and even went on a special diet (no beer!). “I can see why dancers are in such good shape. I’ve dropped 35 pounds in like, three months just from not drinking beer.”
Ed is currently on a huge 67 date tour across 3 continents that started on August 6, 2014 in Japan and won’t end until April 11, 2015.
