I think all of us who are fans of Ed Sheeran can agree that anytime that boy opens his mouth, he hits us right in the feels. He never fails to hit us where it hurts, make us cry from happiness and make us dance with so much energy. I've had the privilege of being able to see him in concert twice now and his talent still astounds me.
His voice in person is even better than it is on a CD, if that's even possible. He puts his own spin on the songs when he performs them live, which is always really cool. The other night at the Tampa, FL, concert he did a mash up between "New Man" and "Don't." Ed Sheeran is truly a one man show and he never disappoints because he has so much raw talent in him.
The other night's show in Tampa, Florida was the perfect blend between old and new. He opened the show with "Castle on the Hill" and continued with some songs off the Divide album, but then sang songs from his past albums, Multiply and Plus, as well. He even went all the way back to "Give Me Love," which was the song that first got me stuck on his music back when I was a freshman in high school.
The last time he had performed that song in the United States was way back in 2013. We were given the special treat of getting to hear it live again.
Every concert Ed gives has its own personality because he changes up the set list and remixes whatever song he is feeling that night. Sometimes he even takes audience requests. The Tampa concert had most of the songs off the new album plus a few mix ins like "A-team," "Thinking out Loud," "Tenerife Sea," and my personal favorite that gets me every time "Photograph."
Sheeran's one-man band with his many guitars, recording devices and microphones is enough to entertain the audience and sing incredibly. His song lyrics are so relatable to many different people for so many reasons. His fans love his music because of the way it makes them feel and the way he is able to bring out so many emotions by just singing a song and playing an instrument.
Ed Sheeran's are always incredible and they are definitely worth one night of your life!
