What draws you to a song? Is the the meaningful lyrics or the catchy tune? The musical arrangements or you're a huge fan of the artist? I've been wondering why everyone has been requesting for "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran recently when I've been performing. I guess it's the simplicity of the whole thing. The whole song being constructed upon 4 chords. Just 4.
I've decided to attempt a simple cover of this song after much encouragement from @zord189. The beautiful voice you hear belongs to my 9 months pregnant wife. I believe that pregnancy does things to your body, which in fact is the instrument for vocalist, and it's interesting to hear the difference in her voice. I've kept it simple by playing it in C key as well. Simple accompaniment. Nothing too fancy. My setup is pretty basic as well. Just my iPhone being blue-tacked to my keyboard. That explains the percussive sound you hear when I play slightly harder. No sound proofing in my living room so you can also hear cars passing by on the highway. Oh, and my mother in law dropping by halfway through my interlude. ><
I will be looking forward to creating more covers. Steemit has not only encouraged me to write, but also to create covers as well! Indeed a very creative place. In the meantime, hope you enjoy this cover!
