If there is anyone who knows and understands the struggle of a long-distance relationship, it will be musicians. The Brooklyn Duo demonstrates this perfectly.
The incredibly talented married couple, both professional musicians, couldn’t be better suited to telling the story of a long-distance relationship conveyed in ‘Photograph’.
The story was inspired by Ed Sheeran’s long-distance relationship with singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt. For many, it is one of his most striking ballades.
The perfect and thought-evoking performance by Marine and Patrick Laird does it justice and more. The beautiful timber of the cello reviews the emotion of the song.
The vibration of the tone and the airiness of the harmony convey longing. It is as if the lyrics of the song are etched into each tone they perform.
Many of Brooklyn Duo and Ed Sheeran’s admirers agree this cover of ‘Photograph’ might be one of the best ones ever made.
