明天是母親節，iGardener 老師預祝各位母親節快樂，今天想和您們分享一個 Ed SheeranW 的音樂故事……
上週 iGardener老師 參加了一位親人的喪禮，人生難以預測，記起 Ed SheeranW 一首感人的歌曲。
Ed SheeranW 在2017年推出的專輯《Divide》爆紅，個個都唱 Shape of you ，然而，iGardener老師最喜愛的專輯歌曲，展現了這位爆紅歌手的另一面，今天再聽《Divide》中的不太起眼的一首歌 Supermarket Flowers 特別感觸。
Supermarket Flowers 講述了一個關於喪親的故事，所以聽來倍感共鳴。
歌詞中講述 「親人展開翅膀，被上帝接回去」的故事。Ed Sheeran 接受訪問時說，這首歌應該是 「真的會讓你哭」，至少對 iGardener 老師是真實的。
因為他在歌曲中使用了「媽媽」這個詞，很多人懷疑這首歌是否真的是在說媽媽。不過，在接受採訪時，Ed 解釋：
That’s the most special song on the record for me. My grandmother was very ill during the time I was making the record and passed away at the end of me making the record, so we wrote this song as a tribute and just left it on.
這是我唱片中最特別的一首歌，我的祖母在我製作唱片的時候，病得很重，期間去世了，所以我們寫了這首歌作為紀念，就把它留在了唱片裡。
iGardener 老師每次再聽這思念至親的歌，心裡別有一份感觸，記起生命中的一個個的天使。

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that’s been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, “don’t you cry when you’re down”
But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blinkOh I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up, but I know
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been lovedSo I’ll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you’d be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we’ll say Hallelujah
You’re homeI fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he’d drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my faceI hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
A life with love is a life that’s been livedSo I’ll sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you’d be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we’ll say Hallelujah
You’re homeHallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person that I have become
Spread your wing
And I know that when God took you back he said Hallelujah
You’re home
