Ed Sheeran Does a Slow Burn For An Explosive Hobbit Movie

Ed Sheeran has got an incredible gig at this moment. The London transplant has a smoldering single stemming from an appointment view holiday Hobbit movie (Peter Jackson, you could retire in style right now, you do realize that,yes?) and at 22 one suspects the good times haven't even begun to stop rolling. The song in question is "I See Fire". Lots of understated manly goodness to it. Raw power as brandished by Ed and his trusty acoustic guitar. The trend of holding back the hard charging emotion can also be felt within Ed's presentation itself. In fact in isn't until the last portion of the song that he ventures far beyond the whisper soft level of communication. Good move. These are Hobbit creatures in battle mode. Let's not yuck up their quest with too much heart on the sleeve vulnerability. One thing anyone who's seen The Lord of the Rings series knows is that a great number of titanic battles are waged in the name of what's right. The movies, while eternally enjoyable, aren't exactly for the faint of heart. Ed's contribution to The Desolation of Smaug respects the Rings/Hobbit pedigree. He's created the picture of a band of brothers who are going to die with their boots on if it has to be. Naturally fire is everywhere. Look at those burning trees? Look at the mountain. I tells ya' the humanity of it all!! Blood in the breeze, too. Climactic confrontations are made of poetry like this. Gently Ed strums along stopping along the way for one maybe two chord shifts tops. By the time he pours on the electricity late in the melody making the full weight of what the thespians on screen are doing starts to sink in. "I See Fire" continues the tradition of pairing epic musical compositions with movies that merely demand you add a plus-sized popcorn and stir. Sheeran, responsible for captivating fare such as "The A Team" and "Lego House", the latter of which has an adorable video featuring Rupert Grint, Ron Weasley from Hogwarts to we on the pop culture cusp, has every reason for optimism. His boyish face is definite catnip for the female half of the population. "I See Fire" is going to give the male section, particularly the feelings challenged a nice little slab of raw meat to nosh on. Christmas definitely came early this year. Mr. Sheehan has come up with a possible career statement here. That statement is "I'm on my way to the top of the mountain so get used to it."
