Ed Sheeran - All Of The Stars

Over the past few years books, especially teen books have been all the rave, so obviously John Green is like a Jesus among authors right now, writing some of the most idolised teen books of this generation including Paper Towns, Looking For Alaska, and the notoriously popular The Fault In Our Stars. Now taking a back seat, heading for the big screen John has created a whole new level of story telling, bringing the intense, emotionally touching, and beautifully tragic story to cinimas, and what better way to kick it all of with a defining song, written and performed by one of the most loved singer/song-writers of the past few years. Yes, that's right. Ed Sheeran jumped on the wagon like I'd jump on Ryan Gosling and wrote a song for the movie. The song is call 'All Of The Stars' great tittle, very fitting for the movie; But what do we think?
I've always admired Ed's lyrics, as I find them truly honest, not too complex, and insanely lovely to even listen to, and he did not let down. Annotating lyrics, as one does; I love how relatable this song is to everyone, you don't have to be some Shakespearean enthusiastic to really grasp the concept of the song, and he hasn't dumbed down the words to try and gather an audience he didn't already have. Obviously, like most songs the lyrics need to be put into perspective an make sense, with a little bit of fancy love-doveyness here and there, he's literally made an incredible heart felt lullaby.It's very calm, very Ed Sheeran, and I like that! I like how he hasn't changed his style, he's matured yes, but hasn;t changed for the sake of some Hollywood movie; witch is admirable! The video too demonstrates a very artistic, vell though out vision, not just 'cute shots of the singer wearing nothing' with little bit of the film thrown in there for good measure. It really seems to have been thought out very carefully, but still making it so effortless.
Now if this doesn't make you excited to see the movie as the book did, I really don't know what else will float your boat; This for me is one of the best movie songs I've heart in a pretty long time, minus of Taylor Swift FT The Civils Wars, Nothing can ever fault that; But it goes without saying Ed Sheeran - All Of The Stars ins a job bloody well done!
