Producer: Ed Sheeran Songwriter: Ed Sheeran Critical Reception of the Record: "I See Fire" attracted a lot critical commentaries, which were mostly positive. - In the review of the single, Nick Catucci of the Entertainment Weekly stated that although looming in the song is a "flame-broiled disaster", Sheeran "keeps his strumming cool, and a hopeful flame burning for Bilbo".[15] For Rolling Stone, Ryan Reed wrote: "The haunting track is right in line with Sheeran's trademark style, filled with dramatic crooning and quiet acoustic guitars.” Public Reception of the Record: The song did not receive any criticism from the audience, but rather very pleasant comments. It performed very well on the charts as well. - “The song was successful in many European countries, with a peak position of number 1 in Norway and Sweden. In Sheeran's home country, the single peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, spending 65 weeks on the chart.” What I like about the Song: I like this song because it is very simple and it is about losing someone important in one's life and then going through that difficult stage after their death. |
