With the verdict now in, the singer’s copyright trial has provided some unusual high and low points
, Sheeran explained how he wrote Thinking Out Loud with his friend and co-writer, Wadge, at his home in England in 2014. “I draw inspiration from a lot from things in my life and family,” he said, explaining how the song was inspired by the love he witnessed between his grandparents.
He then picked up a guitar from behind the witness stand, played the chord progression to the song and sang the opening line: “When your legs don’t work like they used to before.”Later in the trial, Sheeran performed another mini-concert, using his guitar to demonstrate how a common chord progression could allow him to transition easily between Thinking Out Loud, Let’s Get It On and many other popular songs.
According to CNN, Townsend Griffin, wearing a beige coat emblazoned with the word “dignity” on the back, collapsed after her knees buckled and eyes closed, leading representatives from both legal teams to assist her amid shouts to call 911. She was removed from court on a stretcher and taken to a nearby hospital for what her lawyer later said was a pre-existing medical condition. Altogether, court proceedings were halted for 15 minutes.
