'Songwriter' trailer provides a glimpse of Ed Sheeran's intimate process of songwriting
“This is the first time on camera you’re going to see a song being written...so, make sure you get all of it.” Ed Sheeran says in the trailer of Murray Cummings' documentary 'Songwriter'. Apple Music has just released the trailer for the documentary which charts the journey of the songwriter from his early childhood days to his present fame as a musician, chiefly focusing on the making of Ed Sheeran's 2017 album 'Divide'.
The trailer incorporates clips of a young Ed Sheeran trying his hand at the drums, cello, bass, and guitar and meeting his earliest critical influence, his school music teacher.
The documentary shot over a span of a decade by Sheeran's cousin Murray Cummings follows the musician on his tours and also documents the massive process which goes into the making and recording of a song.
