ED SHEERAN is reflecting on the hardest moments of his life on Subtract‘s lead single, “Eyes Closed.” The British singer released the emotional pop track along with its cinematic music video that follows the artist as he wanders from bar to diner, accompanied by a big, blue monster symbolizing his grief.

As for the music video, Sheeran explained that he was inspired by the story of Harvey, which follows a main character with an imaginary giant rabbit friend.
“There’s also a book I read my daughters where sadness is encapsulated by an imaginary creature. Often sadness is something that follows you around, engulfing the rooms you’re in, and you can feel and see it, but no one else around you can,” Sheeran explained. “So I decided to create my own big blue monster for the video. He gets bigger and bigger as the video goes on, til he takes up whole rooms, and is all I can see, just like sadness.”
