Ed Sheeran — Life Goes On (Piano Sheet Music)

Ed sings with a lot of coloratura (ornamentation): portamentos, slides, and bends. It is very important that you play the SECOND slurred note louder than the first. It is the way Ed Sheeran sings. This vocal technique is called *Messa di voce*, a quick gradual crescendo, or increase in volume, and then a decrescendo, decrease in volume. It is a very advanced vocal technique that is rarely heard outside an opera house. Without it the piano sheet music won't sound as the recorded track.
