Ed Sheeran today releases his new single "Eyes Closed", a track he wrote a few years ago inspired by a breakup, but which took on a whole new meaning after Ed suffered a heartbreaking loss, prompting him to revisit and reimagine the original version of the track for the project "-" (Subtract).
One of the more poppy sounds on her highly anticipated new album, “Eyes Closed” captures the essence of love and loss, which is also reflected in the official video. Directed by Mia Barnes, the clip accompanies Ed one night being chased by a blue monster - a metaphor for grief - wherever he goes, reminding him of the emptiness that remains in his life.
