EASY by Shawn Mendes, an unreleased song that connects lyrically to 10 songs by Niall Horan ⭐️
Firstly, here’s a YouTube link to the song. https://youtu.be/2r1ErXM3Qkc
Especially “The Show” (the nervous response song) + “Must Be Love” (recognizing, working toward an end goal following your heart instead of overthinking)
:::A THREAD:::
“Easy” by Shawn Mendes connects to “If You Leave Me” and “Cross Your Mind” through its imagery of diving into oceans, the hesitation (“you don’t”) by the same person diving into oceans, discussions of “your mind”, and then deciding if “it’s Easy.”
“If everything was easy” = “The Show”
——
A specialist in overthinking, who’s got a PhD in running away, who’s scared to death, and likes to vanish…
Maybe he should stop, and take it easy, don’t overthink it, listen to his heart’s desire?
Parallels exist between “Easy” by Shawn Mendes and “Must Be Love” 💗by Niall Horan
——
“Easy” by Shawn Mendes connects to three Niall songs that describe “close my eyes” to see our relationship - “Black and White”, “Too Much to Ask”, “Put a Little Love on Me”.
It also has a parallel to “You and Me”, “you and I know where it’s going” relates back to “it ends with you and me”
——
“Easy” by Shawn touches on the 🌹 reference (“grow out of control” rose promo pic for Heaven release)
“Easy” asks “why would you run?” 🏃♂️
Niall describes himself as a runner in 3 songs: “my heart was always on the run”, “we were on the run”, and “I got a PhD in always running away”
——
Niall’s description of running is always in contrast to loving
“On the run, but you making loving fun”
“Yesterday we were on the run, why’s it only YOU I’m thinking of?”
“I got a PhD in always running away, I’m trying to stop it but it feels like LOVE”
> Run? Drive forever with me?
——
“The Show” by Niall Horan is the song that most connects to “Easy” by Shawn Mendes, especially adding in “305” and its rollercoaster ride🎢☀️
They look at the sun, catch you when gravity comes 🪂, decide if they’re ready (one’s never been so sure vs other says not ready)
Is it EASY??

“Why would you run when you could drive forever with me toward the Sun?”
“Wanna be wherever you are”
