I'm going to work my way backwards through Facebook's confusing system and try to get all the videos Eric has posted for his Song of the Month series. Today's month is May 2021, and the song is Stitches.
May 1st - Song of the Month, Day 1: This one has actually been planned before, but I postponed it a couple times when other ideas came up. But now it's time for another song from this century. I was impressed by "Stitches" when some high school kids introduced it to me a few years ago. Then I saw this video, which is impressive. Then I found out just how young Shawn Mendes is (he was only 17 when this song came out), and was triply impressed. So here, at last, is an impressive song, "Stitches" by Shawn Mendes.
May 2nd - Song of the Month, Day 2: A celebrity cover, with Hailee Steinfeld. Having the song's writer and original artist on backup helps.
May 3rd - Song of the Month, Day 3 (CAUTION: Some naughty words):
May 4th - Song of the Month, Day 4: One reason I wanted to use "Stitches" as a Song of the Month was so I could share this shot-for-shot remake of the original music video. Enjoy!

May 6th - Alessia Cara, another recent singer whose work I've been enjoying, covers "Stitches".

May 27th - Song of the Month, Day 27: It must be getting towards the end of the month, I have to keep scrolling further down to find covers I haven't used before. But this one finally turned up, and it's actually got a little different vibe than most of them.
May 28th - Song of the Month, Day 28:
May 29th - Song of the Month, Day 29: I found this video of Shawn Mendes reacting to covers of his songs. Sure enough, there's one for a cover of "Stitches" I showed earlier this month:
May 30th - Song of the Month, Day 30: Yikes! I almost forgot to post this today! But I found this great appearance on a Norwegian talk show (don't worry, subtitles and a lot in English) where he wraps it up with a terrific acoustic rendition of "Stitches".
May 31st - Song of the Month, Day 31: Shawn Mendes and a bunch of his fans singing "Stitches" live at the Greek.
