tell that to centuries of folk music, not least Irish, but OK

Baylor Swift is really crushing the fiddle lately

I'm not denying the existence of music that has the fiddle as a core component. Give me some credit. I'm saying that in my humble opinion its use in modern music tends to do more harm than good. Case in point - Hold Back The Tears by Neil Young; the version on American Stars and Bars with the fiddle sounds twee compared with the raw and emotional acoustic version sans fiddle. As I say, it's purely personal taste. Nails down a blackboard to me.

I wasn't too fond of his singing in this performance. But he's awesome all over Gigaton.

I'm talking about his live performances. It's like he is chewing the words, it's really annoying.

I literally can't think of a single song that wouldn't be improved by a fiddle.

I only know one Gary Glitter song and it would be much better with a fiddle in it.

Rest assured that Gary was never one to pass up the chance of a fiddle.

I've always enjoyed this song better as an Ed solo song. I don't get all the hate for it.

I think I like this song now.

took a minute, but a video was just released for Future Days

the hand was a bit distracting but that was sweet otherwise

the hand was. i would have preferred it with just zooming and panning

for anyone wondering who's hand that is:

Spoiler: show

Handrew Wotman

that's meant to mimic the projector Ed draws and writes on on stage presumably?
