When I went to the Taylor Swift concert last month, I was fortunate enough to be exposed to another talented musician as well: Ed Sheeran. I had heard a couple of his songs prior to the concert, but had somehow overlooked his talent and at that time found him somewhat overrated. To my surprise, he proved me wrong. From his beautifully strung phrases to his witty remarks in between songs, Ed proved that he is not only an incredible musician, but a humble and personable guy as well. After leaving the concert I knew I wanted to learn a few of his songs, and today I finally did. Below is a cover I did of his single "The A Team."
I knew prior to arriving at the concert that him and Taylor would definitely sing their duet "Everything Has Changed" together, and it ended up being one of my favourite songs of the night. What I didn't know was that they made a music video for the song and it's actually one of cutest things I've ever seen. Since the song I covered is little bittersweet, I felt it necessary to complement this post with some positivity and happiness, so I've included the music video for that duet here as well.
When I was discussing Ed with someone a couple weeks ago they said that it's a shame he's not "better looking" or else he would be huge. I completely disagree with that statement, firstly because he has already done incredibly well for himself and secondly, because it's evident that Ed really doesn't care if people perceive him in that way. I think the outlook Ed holds on life and his career are a large part of what makes him a true artist. Here are a few words of wisdom from the Brit himself...
With love,
Ciara
