Ed Sheeran - Eyes Closed (Acoustic) | Mahogany Session

A long time in the making 🥹 Ed Sheeran has been an artist that we've admired since the day that we started Mahogany in 2009. Earlier this year Ed's team reached out to Mahogany to discuss creating a series of live performance videos for the new album '-' (Subtract) which would see us produce 8 videos in a single day including solo performances as well as with as 12-piece band led by the albums producer Aaron Dessner (The National, Taylor Swift). The whole album has a nautical and coastal theme so we chose the epic Historic Dockyard in Chatham Kent as the location - and the first video of the day was a classic single-shot Mahogany Session of 'Eyes Closed'. This was done in one single take, no repeats, and the results we believe encapsulate everything about Mahogany Sessions in terms of the quality, intimacy and uniqueness that we strive to bring to every artists' performance on our channel.

I love Mahogany because they give opportunity for those inddie artists that are just starting now. Good luck in this industry, Ed!

I have seen him live on stage 10 years ago...cant believe its been so long. Another time years later. Wasnt the same. The first time was a tiny concert and he was perfect. He is a musical genius- his voice is emotional and on point- even better without a microphone just him and his voice in a room...oh and when he made the crowd his choir....wanna travel back. Was very special. Will never forget ♡

An idol I looked up to passed away last year. It felt like losing a loved one because he was both an inspiration and one of the only reasons I’m still alive today. I miss him with all my heart and I know millions are still missing him too. I found out after one of the happiest months of my months and I spent the entire next month crying. This song reminds me of that a lot.
