Ed Sheeran is still riding high on the release of his new album x, but that doesn't mean that the "Photograph" singer has stopped penning hits. During the May 29 stop on his North American tour, Taylor Swift's male BFF debuted a new song, the blues and marijuana inspired "Sweet Mary Jane."
In fan shot video from the second of Sheeran's three New York City concerts, Sheeran debuted the smooth and sassy "Sweet Mary Jane." A thumping bassline makes the deeper details of the song difficult to hear, but the song seems to fall somewhere between the sound of his acoustic-driven debut album + and the more R&B influenced x.
Against the acoustic led music and those inevitable Sheeran grooves, the singer-songwriter sings about smoking away the day and the pain at a café in Amsterdam.
"I woke up early looking out my window at the Amsterdam sky / Oh baby, I was high last night / Cafe clouds and red lights," Sheeran sings at one point in the song, in case the title "Sweet Mary Jane" didn't give you the hint about who (or what) Mary Jane may just be.

"Sweet Mary Jane" isn't even the first new song that Sheeran has debuted on his latest live trek. Earlier this week, he also broke out a new song "Forever" at a show in Queens, New York. No word on when or if these songs will get a studio version.
