Jon D, or SimplySpoons as he's known on YouTube, is one some of you may not have ever heard of. But have no fear. This is why I'm here. I'm here to welcome you to the beautiful world that is Jon.

Jon grew in popularity when he started making One Direction themed sketches, where he was "Harry Styles" and his friend Nikki, who was recording, was "Louis Tomlinson". While these videos are absolutely hysterical, especially if you're a fan of One Direction and the idea of "Larry Stylinson", the videos all of you absolutely have to check out are Jon's covers.

To help get you started, the list below includes five of his best. However, be sure to check out the rest of his YouTube channel that has other wonderful gems. And also check him out on iTunes and Spotify.

Happy listening!

And don't worry. All of these links will open in new tabs so you won't lose your place in the article!

5. "Give Me Something" ("Say Something" and "Give Me Love" Mashup) by A Great Big World and Ed Sheeran

This mashup is just genius, to be honest. Two gorgeous songs are given the honor of being gorgeous together. And shoutout to Nikki on guitar!


4. "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes

An oldie but certainly a goodie. This was one of the first covers of Jon's I ever watched and it's one that hooked me instantly. I hope it does the same for you as it did for me.


3. "All Of The Stars" by Ed Sheeran

If you've either read the book or seen the movie "The Fault In Our Stars", Ed Sheeran's version of this song already brings a tear to your eye. But add Jon into the equation and somehow you get an even more beautiful version. Get ready.


2. "I Love It" by Icona Pop

Another older song you probably forgot you loved, "I Love It" was included on Jon's EP "Mechanical Heart" which also contains original songs that you all definitely need to hear. So go buy it. Right now.


1. "One Dance" by Drake

After an eight month break from YouTube due to major things like jaw surgery, Jon came back with this masterpiece. This is, by far, my all-time favorite cover of his and I think it rightfully deserves the number one spot. Even if you're not necessarily a fan of the original like me (sorry Drake), you will love Jon's slowed down and chilled out version. This is a great song to drive to or to listen to while doing homework. It's simple yet gorgeous.


BONUS

"Cups (When I'm Gone)" by Anna Kendrick

It's not what you're expecting. You're not even ready for this.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
