"It has been a privilege for me to direct the video ‘The Day I Was Born’. I have lived in several cities in my country and have friends spread all over the world, and of all nationalities. I think there are things that we share, regardless of our place of origin, almost as if they were planted there from the beginning.

I consider that the album ‘Autumn Variations’ is an album with an incredible universe and essence. All of us, or at least most of us, at some point have seen ourselves in different stages of life, having our birthday as a compass. Since I heard the song, it took me on a journey through the memories of my life at my current 24 years old, and the life stories of those I know. Many of us are far from home, many of us have worked somewhere without fitting in, or we have put our joy in the couple with whom we share life at that moment, and when the person leaves, they also take a lot of us with them. We must also remember that in real moments we only have fewer people than the fingers on our hands.

I am deeply grateful to my entire team, for having invested in two days of filming, an impressive amount of heart for the project, and the community that opened spaces for us, and friends who traveled just to be present and support me in this. A dream come true. For me it was important to listen to the whole album over and over again, X was my favorite album, now I'm not sure. I even wrote a short script for each of the songs, trying to feel Ed's universe. I think that more than any label or name, good stories always come with us.” - Mike Bautista

The Day I Was Born Lyrics:

Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here
A couple cards in the post that I’m reading
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
The only plus is the sweater, I need it
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
If they were here then I guess I wouldn’t be alone
This is the life in the city and that’s the way it goes
But it’s a fine excuse just to leave it

I hit em up and I asked are you coming over?
All I got was a shrug and an I don’t know

Everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don’t want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we’re here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone

I hit a bar in town, give my card to start a tab
Every day that we’re here well we’re never getting back
So I’ll drink for the confidence coz that’s what I lack
And end up talking to strangers and find another plan
I end the night in cab, head spinning on my own
Watching pointless shit and flicking through my phone
Would April be better? I guess I’ll never know
I take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home

I feel low but I guess I could feel lower
I’m heading down and now I’m on a roll

Everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don’t want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we’re here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone

  • @hokhwokh3983
    It's really sad when we can only connect with our loved ones when we are away abroad for our education....we can't even celebrate our birthdays with them.... This song perfection encapsulates that and I love it

    So touching .. I grew up as an orphan coz i lost both parents when is was young and I had never celebrated 🎉birthday in my life but at the age of 21 I joined forces and all birthdays came when I was on deployment for almost ten yrs but i tell you what ?i migrated to USA but stil life is the same😢. But I thank God I'm a strong man. Thanks Ed sheeran I love this song.
  • @d-homez9385
    Beautiful song and amazing video Very heartfelt
  • @temilori1306
    I resonate deeply with this journey. Leaving Nigeria for the UK at 16, I've often found myself celebrating birthdays in solitude, surrounded by faces yet feeling utterly alone. Despite achieving a degree at 19 and a Masters at 20, the weight of being an immigrant without parental guidance at just 21 is staggering. It's a path fraught with relentless challenges and soul-crushing loneliness. But through the tears and the trials, it's also sculpted within me a resilience—a fierce determination that courses through my veins. Each hurdle, each moment of despair, has only served to strengthen my resolve and shape my very being. My journey is one of triumph over adversity, fuelled by the fire of my aspirations, burning brighter with every step forward. The song itself is remarkable and so authentic
