Here's all the world's funniest reactions to 'Castle On A Hill' and 'Shape Of You'.
Ed Sheeran, everybody's favourite rapping ginger, made his grand musical return this morning (January 6th), dropping not one but TWO brand new tracks into the world.
But what has the world made of these new offerings from the UK's leading acoustic beatbox exporter?

First up there's the folky 'Castle On A Hill' which is tragically not a reworked version of Les Mis classic 'Castle On A Cloud' and instead sounds sort of like if a Mumford And Sons track had a kid (Mumford and Grandsons?).
Listen to that one below:
Still want that Les Mis cover tbh...
That's not to say that it didn't deliver in the tears department though...

Those hedgehogs just get it man...
Then there's the second track, the upbeat Clean Bandit cover version tropical bop 'Shape Of You', originally written for Rihanna apparently.
Check out that one below:
(We're pretty here for this one actually. It's like summer in January).
And yes, the fans are feeling things in a big way.

Seriously emotional bop basically.
But what about famous people? Are they glad Ed is back?
Yes. Yes they are.
