Steemit Open Mic Week 100| The A Team – Ed Sheeran (Carlos Vidal cover)
Hello steemit community! I hope you have a great start to the week.
We are in another week of the #openmic contest and I must say that this time my participation really has a lot of meaning for me. It's the first time I participate in the contest singing alone with my guitar, and this already symbolizes a goal made for me since I had never dared to do it. But beyond that, the song that I present this week also has a lot of meaning "The a team - Ed Sheeran" and I already explained it to you.
From the first time I heard Ed Sheeran, when I was about 16 years old he became my favorite singer, but why did this happen? I like songs with meaning, with history, those that transmit you something unique, those songs that you can really call a work of art, and for me, this is what Ed Sheeran does with his songs. The first song I heard from him was "She", shortly after I heard "The a team" and when I saw the video, while I was noticing the meaning of the lyrics, I realized that there was something really deep behind the song.
Do you know the story?
The song describes in a very subtle and stylish way, the life of a girl who was addicted to crack, and who prostituted herself so she could have the money and consume the drug. It's amazing how Ed intertwines the real events of the girl's life with the lyrics of the song. He met her while working as a volunteer in a place of refuge, had the opportunity to talk to a girl named "Angel" and it is from her life, that the song is about.
Original song by Ed
It is impressive how Ed Sheeran covered himself in the lyrics to describe a prostitute addicted to drugs. You see, to divide the people who are addicted to drugs, they decided to classify them by letters, depending on the severity of the addiction, in this case we see "she's in the class A team" because she was addicted to crack.
Curious fact:
The lyrics of the song say "It's too cold outside for angels to fly", while the protagonist of the song is called Angel.
As always I thank the #openmic team @pfunk, @luzcypher, @passion-ground, @soundlegion, @krystle, @Verbal-d and @meno for the incredible initiative, and congratulate them for continuing to do an incredible job after 100 weeks

¡Hola comunidad de steemit! Espero que tengan un gran inicio de semana.
Nos encontramos en otra semana del concurso #openmic y debo decir que ésta vez mi participación tiene realmente mucho significado para mí. Es la primera vez que participo en el concurso cantando solo junto a mi guitarra, y esto ya simboliza una meta realizada para mí ya que nunca me había atrevido hacerlo. Pero más allá de eso, la canción que presento esta semana también tiene mucho significado “The a team – Ed Sheeran” y ya se los explico.
Desde la primera vez que escuché a Ed Sheeran, cuando yo tenía aproximadamente 16 años se convirtió en mi cantante favorito, pero ¿Por qué pasó esto? Me gustan las canciones con significado, con historia, aquellas que te transmiten algo único, esas canciones que realmente puedes llamar una obra de arte, y para mí, esto es lo que hace Ed Sheeran con sus canciones. La primera canción que escuché de él fue “She”, poco después escuche “The a team” y al ver el video, mientras notaba el significado de la letra, me di cuenta que había algo realmente profundo tras la canción.
¿Saben la historia?
La canción describe de una manera muy sutil y con estilo, la vida de una chica que era adicta al crack, y que se prostituía para poder tener el dinero y consumir la droga. Es increíble como Ed entrelazo los hechos reales de la vida de la chica con la letra de la canción. Él la conoció mientras trabajaba como voluntario en un lugar de refugio, tuvo la oportunidad de hablar con una chica llamada “Angel” y es de su vida, que se trata la canción.
Canción original
Es impresionante como Ed Sheeran se encubrió en la letra para poder describir a una prostituta adicta a las drogas. Verán, para dividir a las personas que son adictas a las drogas, decidieron clasificarlas por letras, dependiendo de la gravedad de la adicción, en éste caso vemos “she's in the class A team”, "Ella es de clase A" debido a que era adicta al crack.
Dato curioso:
Mientras la letra de la canción dice “It's too cold outside for angels to fly”, “Hace mucho frio afuera para que los ángeles puedan volar” mientras que la protagonista de la canción se llama Angel.
Como siempre agradezco al equipo de #openmic @pfunk, @luzcypher, @passion-ground, @soundlegion, @krystle, @Verbal-d & @meno por la increíble iniciativa, y los felicito por seguir haciendo un increíble trabajo luego de 100 semanas.
