Dan + Shay recently reminisced on a few renditions of songs stored on an old phone, and the award-winning duo opted to share a snippet of their acoustic spin on “Hurricane,” by Luke Combs.
“Still blown away every time we hear this guy sing,” Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney said of Combs as they posted the throwback clip on TikTok. TikTok users gushed in the comments that “Hurricane” is “my favorite Luke Combs song for so many reasons,” and Dan + Shay’s throwback cover “sounds INCREDIBLE!!”
“Then you rolled in/ With your hair in the wind/ Baby, without warning/ I was doing alright/ But just your sight/ Had my heart storming/ The moon went hiding/ Stars quit shining/ Rain was driving, thunder, lightning/ You wrecked my whole world when you came/ And hit me like a hurricane/ You hit me like a hurricane”
Combs released the smash-hit single on his 2017 album This One’s for You, which also included “One Number Away” and “When It Rains It Pours,” among other fan-favorite tracks. The reigning iHeartRadio Music awards Country Artist of the Year winner followed that project with a 17-track deluxe edition, adding “Beautiful Crazy,” “She Got the Best of Me” and others to the collection.
Dan + Shay’s spin on “Hurricane” is one of “a bunch” of covers that they said they found on the old phone, and Mooney has been sharing a few new covers of his own. The Dan + Shay star, who celebrated his birthday on Tuesday (December 27), has shared a few covers after his wife, Hannah, gifted him with a piano this holiday season. Mooney said in a festive clip shared on Instagram that he’s “always wanted a piano in the house like my mom played. Dream come true. Thank you [Hannah Mooney] ❤️❤️ Hope everybody’s Christmas is incredible!!! Thankful for my incredible family.”
Mooney followed up with a few covers over the following days, including “an unnecessarily high” rendition of Morgan Wallen’s “Thought You Should Know,” Keith Urban’s “Tonight I Wanna Cry” (among the “sad songs that make me happy”), and Five for Fighting’s “100 Years.”
Mooney’s rendition of “100 Years” drew praise from his social media followers, Smyers and Combs, who wrote: “Dude that’s an all time song. Still jam it every time it comes on.”
