Ed Sheeran - Candle In The Wind (2018 Version) Lyrics






Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Goodbye Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe

And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

  15. c.... ....

    I like that this cover is mostly some studio tweaks but mostly just Ed singing.

    I hate when singers try to hard to make cover their own by over or under emphasising every other syllable in the lyrics.

  16. C.... C....

    Fuck ed sheeran, he can fully go to hell

  17. N.... a....

    prefiero la version de elton john

  18. C.... B....

    Ed, you're truly amazing. I love you so much, see you September 22nd!!!!
    *makes up head scenario with the song*

  19. K.... F....

    Elton John Original..(a tad faster sung by ed Sheeran)

  20. S.... A....

    Apaixonada por esta versão😍😍

  21. D.... N....

    I liked the chords so much in the song I went and played them on my guitar! 🎸

  22. S.... M....

    This was honestly a very good cover of this song. R.I.P Marilyn.

  23. O.... ....

    I would rather listen to an Eddie Van Halen cover than an Ed Sheeran one. Jesus, whose idea was this? Just leave Elton's stuff alone.

  24. J.... ....

    I like the original more... by Elton John...

  25. I.... j....

    Why does this cover not have millions of views? I don't get it. It's just amazing.

  26. A.... E....

    Jesus Christ. I love this song. 2018.

  27. Q.... ....

    Only two men can successfully sing this, you and Sir Elton John. This is my favorite song of all time and I love you for sharing this

  28. S.... G....

    Ed Sheraan and Sam Smith where the best ones in the revamp but they still ain’t better than the original

  29. m.... ....

    Why is he so perfect

  30. M.... S....

    Goodbye Norma Jean

  31. C.... ....

    underrated

  32. S.... H....

    I think of this song as princess Diana song sungbeautifullybyeltonjohn

    S.... H....

    this is based on Elton's old original version about Marilyn Monroe, not princess Di

  33. M.... M....

    this cover gave me the chills ❤ amazing ❤

  34. M.... Z....

    Beautifully done. Love this young man

  35. l.... m....

    I love you 😍

  36. S.... C....

    Simplemente lo amo...😍😍😍

  37. J.... O....

    I really love Ed's first two albums and I don't exactly dislike this, but his vocals kinda sound the same on everything now. Like take it back is fucking impressive, this not so much

    J.... O....

    Ed recorded Candle In The Wind (2014 version),similar to this, that's why it sounds like his older style

  38. t.... ....

    I can die happy now. 😁 So good it should be #1 on the music charts. Seriously, Ed could sing the alphabet and deserve a Grammy for it. That voice! ❤️

  39. L.... B....

    So why does it say this is posted on his account, but can only find it do I look it up and not actually on his page?

    L.... B....

    This is actually uploaded on Ed Sheeran - Topic channel which is linked to his official channel but cant be seen listed on his main page etc :( save the link or add to a playlist to find it again.

  40. A.... R....

    This song truly messed me up. Ed really did a phenomenal job on this song. I'm completely blown away.

  41. G.... ....

    It doesn't hold a candle to Elton's heart wrenching rendition, but this is nice...

  42. p.... ....

    why the hell does this have no views ?!

    p.... ....

    prawncrackers it's not appearing on ed's official YouTube page, so fans cant really find it

  43. K.... G....

    Well damn Ed!!!
    Love the 1:00 mark for some reason and at 1:18-1:30... Ed does the words justice there and I love the way it's arranged.. 💖💖 💖💖 Have a great day y'all!! 😀😀

  44. l.... l....

    Amazing I love it sooo much btw great concert!!!! Love this

  45. O.... K....

    I genuinely cannot explain how much I love the cover of this song, and the original song itself, I first heard it with my grandfather who passed when I was six and it reminds me of him, and the time we spent together when I was younger. I love this cover because it makes you think how generations change but the lyrics touch me on a deep level. I hope someone can relate.

  46. c.... m....

    Its beautiful Ed Sheeran .

  47. J.... D....

    Maybe now they will ask him to play at the wedding! <3

  48. P.... C....

    I love it uwu

  49. P.... C....

    No se porque no me había aparecido la notificación :"v

  50. O.... R....

    This is beautiful

  51. E.... B....

    Love u so so much ed

  52. I.... U....

    Amazing♥️

  53. F.... ....

    Friend; there's no one perfect in this world

    *shows ed sheeran's pic*

  54. C.... P....

    Why is it not available everywhere? And it's not only this one, it's the whole album... It sucks that i have to get my VPN working to listen to this.

    C.... P....

    I wonder why can't you watch this video in your country? Here is another audio video that also on Ed Sheeran's- Topic channel but is now unlisted, can you watch that version without changing your VPN?

    I love you ❤

    The other Ed Sheeran - Candle In The Wind (2018 Version) audio video is now unlisted..there had been 2 videos uploaded

  60. K.... E....

    Beautiful 💗

  61. A.... M....

    I love you so so much

  62. J.... P....

    So in love with this music until he sang with Rihanna and Beyoncé

    J.... P....

    Ed Sheeran has never sung with Rihanna, live or on a studio song.

    J.... P....

    Veronica M yes dear Rihanna reality ft Ed sheeran

    J.... P....

    that's not even a real song with Rihanna and Ed Sheeran, just a song someone made up and it's not Ed's vocals

  63. B.... G....

    Original is the best, but you did great.....

  64. S.... ....

    Beautiful love it!!

  65. J.... M....

    This is a disgrace to Elton John

    J.... M....

    Elton John performed this live with Ed Sheeran in 2014, so he loves it and wanted it on his tribute album

  66. P.... ....

    Beautiful :)

  67. K.... G....

    And FYI? This album is called Revamp because many different artists are taking Elton's & Bernie's songs and acoustically doing re-dos... Check out Tiny Dancer by Florence and the Machine!! 💖💖💖💖
    And here's the official Elton album sampler:
    https://youtu.be/VC97rUe5WMA
    Orrrr you can just go buy the album on Spotify, etc.
    And look for the televised show honoring Elton and Bernie coming up live... Ed and others will be there!

  68. K.... G....

    Say hello to me when you see me here!! 💖 from USA

  69. K.... G....

    And that just happened. dannngg.... And always, thank you. Just a few could attempt it and not ruin it in any way! Take a bow Ed. 💖

  70. L.... W....

    BEAUTIFUL

  71. K.... M....

    I feel it's very symbolic that Ed did this particularsong on this album. His lifestyle and especially the way he openly speaks about his struggles with his fame and all the hardships he has experienced adds something to the emotion of this song that I can only begin to understand and will probably never be able to express accurately. I love this cover so much.

    K.... M....

    Kayla M Cook Great idea and thought. Agree with ya! !💞

    K.... M....

    Kayla M Cook. Sounds like a young Elton!

  72. S.... M....

    He's so talented❤❤
