Happy new year everyone💫🎉. This is my first entry for the year in this community. This week for the free theme, I have chosen to sing a cover of the song by Ed Sheeran titled "Supermarket Flower". I hope you enjoy as you listen😊.
A LITTLE ABOUT THE SONG🎶
The song is a heartfelt tribute to Sheeran's late grandmother, who passed away during the album's production. It captures the emotions of loss, love, and remembrance through tender lyrics and a gentle piano melody.
The song's title refers to the flowers, cards, and other items often bought for or in memory of loved ones. Sheeran narrates the experience of packing up his grandmother's belongings and reflects on the impact she had on the family. Despite its somber theme, the song also celebrates her life and legacy.
WHAT THE SONG MEANS TO ME
The song takes me back to times when I’ve had to say goodbye to loved ones, capturing the bittersweet blend of sorrow and gratitude I felt.
The imagery of packing up belongings, the flowers, and the sense of finality hits close to home. Yet, Ed Sheeran’s words remind me to focus on the beauty of the moments I shared with those I’ve lost, the laughter, and the lessons they left behind. It’s more than just a song—it’s a reflection of love that lingers, even in the quietest corners of grief. For me, it’s not just sad; it’s healing.

LYRICS
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day-old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
