Music video research

The final line of the song is not actually decided, there is debate over whether or not the last word is "Beth" or "best", People who believe that it is is best are referring to the belief that the song was written about Taylor Swift, others believe that Ed had an ex-girlfriend named Beth and that the song was dedicated to her.

I interpret the lyrics to be a story of when Ed and his significant other were at a dance (Prom, Party,etc.) and he was expressing his love for her , he thought she looked amazing and they were so happy together, I also think he may have been imagining their first dance at their wedding but is upset because it will never happen anymore.

Tenerife Sea is a slow love song, there are a lot of notes that are held for long periods of time, the instruments are played in a joyful but soft manner throughout the song, vocals and guitar are the main focus in terms of the music bu there is also piano (with effect) and bass. The song itself is four minutes long.

In terms of the video itself, for Tenerife Sea there is no official music video so I will look at his other music videos for inspiration. One music video that I believe would be very similar to Tenerife Sea is called "Thinking Out Loud"
It is about a couple wedding dance routine whereas the son is about how love will evolve with age and how he will always love her but will she feel the same. In Thinking Out Loud, the characters are in a suit and dress, it genuinely looks like a wedding but there are no guests, The venue is a great hall so there must have been a fairly large budget for all of the props and details implemented in the video. With Ed Sheeran's other videos he seems to follow one character through a day of their life, matching the lyrics with specific shots in the video and lip syncing on occasion an example of this is the video for his song "Perfect".
