Oh my god this cover is literally heaven to my ears. Before I get into that though, let me tell you a little bit how I got to know Shawn. When I got tickets to Taylor Swift’s 1989 World Tour, I saw her opening acts were Vance Joy and Shawn Mendes. So I decided to check out Shawn on youtube and that’s where the magic happened. For those of you who don’t know, Shawn is a Canadian singer (with a very thick accent because at first I thought that he was Australian) and I thought “Well, whoever opens for Taylor must be really good.” (Because I have liked many of her opening acts before when I saw her live on her other tours) But anyways, Shawn tweeted this cover of Ed Sheeran’s song that he played on Sirius XM. When he started playing, it echoed throughout the place. Which I think really set the tone for the song. And his voice is literally perfect for that type of song. He cleared his throat a little bit after the first sentence, but that doesn’t really matter. The way he plays guitar is so magical and he hits the notes clearly. I think we all know Ed Sheeran’s song but I’m going to post both of them anyway. I still can’t get over how heavenly and magical Shawn’s voice sounds like. Shawn also has a first/new album that you can start pre-ording on Feburary 2nd. I’ll have a seperate post for Shawn’s own music later on. Shawn just recently put this up as a twitter post on his twitter @Shawn_Mendes. He’s amazing and definitely an artists to get into. And he’s only 16 as well as being so talented!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTY2Wcq04lI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp-EO5I60KA
