"Some of us no doubt understand the pressure involved in planning a wedding. It’s stressful, it’s time-consuming, and in our video for Ed Sheeran’s ‘American Town’, we ask the question… what if we just threw it all away? This is our story.
Angie and I have been together nearly 10 years - and Ed’s music has been there every step of the way. Through love, through loss, and everything in between, his music has been the soundtrack for our lives together. When Ed asked his fans to make music videos for Autumn Variations, we knew that sharing our own story was just one way that we could share, in however small a way, just how much his music has meant to us.
​American Town was the perfect song for us to depict our adventure together - to forget all expectation from the world around us and focus on what matters most. Ed's lyrics say it all “Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found… It’s just you and me”. Together with True Story Films (@truestoryfilms), we were able to make our vision a reality and had so much fun in the process!" - Cary Truelick & Michael Lamhang (Make Good Media)

American Town Lyrics:
We’re a long way from home
Haven’t seen you in so long
But it all came back in one moment
And the year started cold
But I didn’t notice at all
When we found there’s a room we’re both in
We get Chinese food in small white boxes
Live the life we saw in Friends
Your room it barely fits the mattress
Wake up leave for work again
The wind it seems to blow right through us
Down jackets are the trend
The rush of rushing deep into love
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll
Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found
It’s just you and me
My English girl in an American town
The days come and go
But it ends when doors close
And a scent of your perfume’s on me
You’re useless with your phone
Electric when one on one
I thought I would be more nervous darling
We watch comedies and miss the endings
Conversations til the dawn
Any change in tide we push against it
Challenge meanings in the song
Then head out without a reservation
Drinking out of paper bags
Wasting time is time not wasted, with my
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll
Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found
It’s just you and me
My English girl in an American town
And when our eyes are closed together, I can’t explain
How the scent of your perfume takes me to a higher place
We can watch it unfold, or we can change how it tastes
And rebuild when it breaks down
We drink Moscow mules and steal the cups from
Mostly the Bowery bar
What a perfect day to fall in love on
What a way to make it start
It appears when you think all is lost then
You don’t remember when
It started never have to pretend, with my
English girl in an American town
No elevator to the 5th floor I’ll
Ring on the buzzer, then you’ll be right down
I wish time would freeze
Dungarees over the hoodie we’re out
Feet are 3 feet off the ground
Lost in love and we don’t wanna be found
It’s just you and me
English girl in an American town
