Jamie Cullum - Shape Of You (Ed Sheeran) Song Society No.9
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 лют 2017
- "Learnt", performed and recorded in 1 hour.
Notes on Shape of You - I would say that this version of this song is more like a 'riff' on the original. We decided right at the last minute to do this song and none of us knew it very well even in the back of our minds. It was number 1 on Spotify so we thought we would try it. I've know about Ed for a long time, a mega talent who has worked with my brother Ben in the past. I remember hearing some of his demos before he became so big and thinking that he clearly loved the blues. At one of his early performance I saw him sing a version of 'Wayfaring Stranger' - a traditional gospel song and it always stuck with me. I thought I'd treat this song a little bit like that in tribute.
The rectangle in the middle is the live take, all the others around that one are us figuring the tune out and a good arrangement for it in the hour we had to do it. And that's our dog Jojo, a former street dog from Greece, just being a dog.
Enjoy!

I love learning other people’s songs. I find it teaches me a whole lot about songwriting which is particularly inspirational when I’m writing a new album (which is what I am doing NOW!) This time I thought I’d film and record it for you all to check it out and start an official Song Society. The songs I will be doing will be learnt and performed live, warts and all within an hour. These are NOT definitive reconstructions, just a window in to my own education! As the process develops we could vote on what the next song will be if you like? Maybe you’ve recorded you’re own version of this song and share it with us all and let’s discuss what makes these songs great. Here are the rules (made, of course, to be broken).
The Song Society
1. Find a song you love or are fascinated by.
2. Learn and record live within the hour.
3. No previous preparation allowed.
4. Love and live with the mistakes.

that moment where you prefer this to the original...
I'm so happy that Ed Sheeran retwitted this. It's so good!! Love it ♥
The master re-interpreter. The glory of this is those 3 syncopated, descending chords in the chorus. Typically Jamie. Great vocal control drifting through octaves seamlessly. The voice seems to get better like a fine wine, maturing with every year. Truly soulful and melodic. Pure juice - marrow-extracted succulence.
Jesus f*cking Christ, how on earth I found this just now?! This is perfection!!
That feeling when you think you don't like the song, but Jamie tells you you're wrong.
That chord sequence in the chorus is God-like. So simple but changes the entire mood of the song in such a beautiful way!!!!!
Amazing! Would love this on Spotify.
I have no words for this version. Unimaginable!!! It's a new song.
Jamie Cullum... Just magical...
Unbelievable remake, insane groove, intense talent. Jamie Cullum - forever a legend!
Love it. More of these!
would hate to spoil others' fascination with the originals that you cover, but I must say, boy, whatever you touch, becomes not only a separate entitiy, but also better than the original, if possible. This jazzy touch really improves things and breathes a whole new life into them. Anyway, with wonderful musicians like y'all, and a voice like yours,Jamie, ,what could possibly go wrong? Keep it up, you're definitely on the right path.
I agree with absolutely everything you said but one: Right path? Haha This man's already on the VERY DESERVED top, what a state-of-the-art musician! Can't get any better than this mate :)

wow just exatly what i wanted to write.
I love this concept so much! :)
Forget perfection and just feel the music ...
it sounds pretty much perfect actually
@ Christian Rodes Was about to say that
i love jamie since the first day my dad introduce me to his dvd he bought from the store "Jamie cullum concert the pursuit,Rotterdam" . my dad is a jazz pianist from a local band that's why he loves to buy jazz or pop dvds and cds from the store.. i was 8 years old that day.
and now i'm 16 years old,and still love his songs.
you're amazing,Jamie ! hugs and kisses from my father & me, jazz pianist from Medan,Indonesia ! 😍😍😍😍
(sorry for my bad english lol)
Damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I always love how you take a song, and make it your own. You never fail to make magic. and you're cute to boot, ugh. Perfection, sir.
Great vocals from Jamie! Loving the feel of this one.
BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL, seriously talking. Love you Jamie.
Dat Jazzy touch...... *(✿´‿`)*
Coolest shit UA-cam has recommended me ever!
You are so fun to watch and listen to. You so have the groove... it comes out of your pores, its so natural!
I like more than the original, as always. Love you, love you, love you!!!
These Song Society videos are my favorite things on the internet. SO GOOD
This guy turns everything he touches into Music!
I like Ed sheeran for years and Jamie Cullum years before that 'till now..and now I want them collab 🙌
and I'm in love with this version!
It's way more intense and sensual and the original, so tasteful... Wow
Je sors du concert de Jamie cullum et en live elle est encore mieux !!!!
Merci mille fois pour toutes ces chansons !!!
He is Fantastically Awesome 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Jamie Cullum is Midas. Everything he touched become more gold than a gold itself 😁 really like it
better that can't stop the music! Riri,Teddy and Jamie, what a collaboration that would be! 🙆
Was in love with Ed Sheeran's version but this jazz just got me ❤.❤
Brilliant!!!!!
Every time you do these covers it always ends up being better than the original. Not only that, it's like every note and word you preform in song just hits me, you know? It hits me like only true jazz, no, true music does. Keep up the incredible work Jamie, love you.
Yep, this is amazing. Brilliant. Stunning.
Just as I was starting to get bored of this song, you come in and make it brand new again
I didn't even like this song the way Ed Sheeran sang it. Jamie Cullum single handedly ripped my chest open and forced this song into my heart. Holy shit. Good job dude.
Excelente Jamie, como siempre...!
He's done it AGAIN. I'm in love with this song
So good! I have chills listening to this version. Jamie is amazing as always.
uuuuhhh.... just melted. So slick.
I remember being absolutely in love with that frog from Meet The Robinsons...
I still think Where Is Your Heart At is his best song ever! Which is difficult, because everything he sings is so very amazing!
Extraordinary 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟
So great! I'm now even more pumped about seeing Jamie in Aarhus, Denmark in the summer!
Jamie and the team are outstanding
this is so sultry...love it!
Jamie, you are amazing, hope to see you tour in Vancouver, BC Canada again soon! Love these Song Society videos!
Should make an album with all of the song society pieces.
Julia Davis I'd totally buy that.
Love love this cover. 👍👍👍
So great! Really glad Ed shared this on Twitter.
Is like everything they touch becomes gold!... Say no more... The Song Society Rocks! ❤
It's amazing ! I'm in love with his voice !!💗💗💗💗💗
thank you for making the world a better place Jamie
sooooooo good!!! Brasil misses you 🐱❤
I am impressed massively it's a cracking song but this is most definitely another superb performance by Mr Jamie Cullum I'm in shock and awe I really enjoyed it and am adding it into my playlist....
I've literally grown up through my twenties enjoying this artistsmusic some people have Dylan some have others well people we have Jamie Cullum truly a great.
I think I could listen that all along my life.............. what a great pleasure
INSANELY GOODDDD!!!!
That chorus-interpretation is chord-wise just brilliant!
I love this!
Jamie - I didn't sing for 20 odd years and I got myself back in by doing this, learning, recording and sharing a song within one evening - so maybe a couple of hours! It was a great process.
Nobody like you to perform such a good song! Love it Jamie Cullum, you do get better everything you play!
Wow. This is simply outstanding. I close my eyes, and simply get lost in the rapture of your voice. Thank you for sharing you gift with the world. Much much love
Can't get enough of this. So refreshing!
Holy fudge!! Just so smooth!!

Jamie, you so perfected your own style, you always make it so that it fits you perfectly. I am a huge fan. keep up these amazing songs!!
OH MY GOD. Jamie couldn't make something not GREAT. i in love with every single song society
There's covering a song, and then owning the song. This version is the latter. Superb.
My top > Guitar/Voice = John Mayer, Piano/Voice = Jamie Cullum
Would we see that merge someday? :__
I'd be here for that in a nanosecond
Acoustic guitar/Voice = Ben Howard
Omg I was thinking the same ❤️hope it happens someday

I love this so much, I think it gives the lyrics somehow a deeper more depressed meaning.
