'Cause honey your soul could never grow old, it's
evergreen
And, baby, your smile's forever in my mind and
memory
I know what you are thinking…no
one can do it like Ed Sheeran. You are absolute correct.
But Dylan Scott's take on this
current hit is one that deserves a look.
Part
mini-movie and part performance, this video captures Scott's underlying tone in
the rawest form.
Shot
entirely in black and white and filmed on the streets, the setting tells the
story of a man (played by Dylan Scott) walking the streets, buying flowers, and
making his way down an empty complex hallway to an apartment door. The door
opens and Dylan (with his white daisies
in hand) disappears inside.
The best
part about the video is the raw moments of Dylan Scott sitting at the piano in
a vast and vignette room.
Plain
white tee and that deep tendency in his voice.
That’s
all we see and all we hear.
No
special effects.
No
fireworks.
And
nothing over the top.
Dylan
Scott is proof that minimal production in a video can lead to unlimited
greatness.
Kudos to
Chris ‘Booba’ Young for directing and producing the video. His attention to
detail had us watching over and over in hopes of capturing a glimpse of subtle
details that took this video from good to GREAT.
This
performance has been well received, as is, furthermore, most everything Dylan
Scott puts out there. He is absorbingly watchable and an incredible performer.
And fans
of this video can now rejoice.
Dylan
Scott announced that his cover of Thinking Out Loud will be hitting iTunes
soon.
