Ed Sheeran – Spark [Official Video]

Ed Sheeran, who debuted in the 2010s, could arguably be called the best-selling singer-songwriter in the world.

In 2023, he delighted fans by releasing not one but two albums—a recent highlight for many.

While Ed is strongly associated with cradling an acoustic guitar, he also has many piano-driven songs.

The track featured here, “Spark,” appears on his sixth studio album, – (Subtract), released in May 2023.

It’s a mid-tempo ballad whose falsetto-laced, emotional vocals leave a deep impression.

The piano keeps to a simple accompaniment, but that timbre fits this kind of song perfectly.

The music video, which shows Ed himself playing an old, weathered piano, is also memorable—be sure to check it out!

Ed Sheeran – All Of The Stars [Official Music Video]

This song, created as the ending theme for the film “The Fault in Our Stars,” is a love ballad about longing for a distant lover.

With the autumn sky so high, it’s only natural to feel the distance between you and the one far away.

Both the performance and the vocals make it an achingly poignant track.
