There are always going to be singers that motivate us, inspire us and make us want to sing along with the music. We often experience this when we are riding in the car and our favorite song comes on. Almost instinctively, we begin singing with the music and it doesn’t matter if we are in the middle of the city or not, we are going to sing at the top of our lungs. Perhaps that is how you feel when you hear Ed Sheeran playing on the radio. After all, he is a very talented performer and his music sounds fantastic when it comes out of the studio. There’s something else interesting about his music, however, and that’s the fact that it sounds better live.
If you’ve ever had the opportunity to see Ed Sheeran performing live, you recognize that he puts a lot into the music he is playing. He plays a guitar, switches back and forth on the foot pedals, beats on the guitar like a drum, sings with all of his heart and in the end, he sounds as if he is in the recording studio. I’m sure that was the experience that everybody had when they were watching him singing Photographs at Under the Bridge, Fulham. It was a fantastic performance but in reality, it was just him performing in the same way that he always does. He put everything he had into it and his fans loved it.
Ed Sheeran has been quite talented for many years but he wasn’t always famous. In fact, you can see some old videos on YouTube of him playing the guitar and singing on the street corner in order to get some attention and perhaps to make a little money. Once he was discovered, however, his career took off like a rocket and it continues to get better every year.
Watching a concert is an amazing thing because it helps us to appreciate the music that we listen to on a regular basis. As you watch Ed Sheeran playing in the concert below, I’m sure that you will appreciate him even more as well.
