Playing this song with boomwhackers you will find that the result is particularly satisfying, as the orchestration of the original itself is very close to the sound of the tubes. So, following the instructions below you can choose the original tonality and sing-along with Ed Sheeran, or a simpler one and sing by yourself.
“Shape of You” is one of Ed Sheeran’s most successful songs. It was written by Ed Sheeran, Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid, released as a single in 2017 and it peaked at number one on the singles charts of 34 countries. As Sheeran had written all the songs he wanted for his next album “÷” (Divide), the song was therefore not intended to be included in the album.
Its musical style is Jamaican-influenced pop and sounds tropical, with Sheeran singing over a marimba-fueled percussive melodic line. As of February 2023, the song’s music video has more than 5.9 billion views on YouTube and the song itself has more than 3.3 billion plays on Spotify.
