I'm honestly impressed how clean his glasses are!
-
When you gangsta, viking and country at the same time
-
This is exactly how you cover a song the right way. Make it your own without destroying the original. Awesome job.
-
These guys are genuinely happy playing together. You can feel it.
-
This man’s voice is everything . Glad I got to discover him !
-
This song has been the soundtrack to our quarantine. I am so lucky that I get to be with my best friends in the world during this mess. Count your blessings! My cover of Blinding Lights by The Weeknd is streaming on all platforms now!! Link in description ❤️❤️❤️
-
The way Teddy sings the chorus in 3 styles, spanning across raspy, soothing and pure soaring, is sheer musicianship!

I found out about Teddy via "Lose Control", which, upon hearing it in its entirety, made ME lose control. Utterly stunning. But then today, as I was looking for BLINDING LIGHTS, I found he covered it. Blindly, I clicked on it, expecting to hear an absolute mess. Consider this to be me eating my words. Armed with the simplest of instruments-acoustic guitar, keyboards, and a UKULELE of all things!-Swims gets his point across in the slickest, most soulful of ways, but never lets his huge, smouldering voice get in the way of the overriding point, which is the lush vocal melody. No doubt The Weeknd has heard this and is grinning from ear to ear. Utterly CRUSHING.

The Weeknd made a track perfect for the cities and driving at night. Teddy gaves us a cover to head through the countryside to the ocean.
-
Whats so great about this cover for me is that it doesn't make me feel like I'm driving through Vegas but instead like I'm driving through a beautiful forest at the crack of dawn. Another amazing cover man
-
No one should cover a song by The Weeknd…… except Teddy Swims, wow whole new vibe to the song. 💖
-
Dude sounds like Jack black, John Mayer and Adam Levine at the same time. Unbelievable talent
-
The weeknd version is what you play when you are on your mercedes with this hot girl going on a diner first date, Teddy's version is what you play when you are with the love of your life on a classic cadillac convertible cruising on the coast
-
Dude, your range, your sound, your emotion, all of it is just *chef’s kiss*. Damn dude, I’m so appreciative of your talent, you’re amazing.
-
I have no clue why YouTube recommended this video, but holy crap. This guy absolutely crushed this song. His voice is phenomenal.
-
Imagine sitting by the fire listening to fire. Awesome

Wow. I love this song by The Weeknd, best cover I've ever heard. Love the acoustics. You look like you're country, tatted like a gangster, but sound like an angel. 💙
