See Fire Ed Sheeran Official

Released in 2013 as the end-credits song for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug , "I See Fire" remains one of Ed Sheeran’s most streamed and critically acclaimed tracks. But what is it about this particular song that continues to captivate listeners a decade later? Why does the imagery of "fire on the mountain" still burn so brightly in the minds of millions?

The magic, however, is in the right hand . Sheeran uses a percussive slap on the body of the guitar between chord changes to mimic the sound of a heartbeat or a falling axe. To capture the vibe, play softly, let the strings ring out, and sing like you are saying goodbye to a mountain. see fire ed sheeran
