Is There An Official Video For All Of The Stars By Ed Sheeran Lyrics?

I still get a little lump in my throat when I hear 'All of the Stars'—there's this gentle ache in it that feels like remembering someone at two in the morning. To me, the song is an elegant mixing of grief and quiet hope: the stars become a metaphor for people, moments, and memories that are far away but somehow always shining. Ed's voice and the sparse arrangement make the lyrics read like someone talking to a lost friend, saying, without drama, that distance and endings don't erase what mattered. Musically and lyrically, it leans into the idea that small, private acts matter. When he sings about looking up and thinking of someone, it’s less about cosmic destiny and more about intimacy across distance—like sending a text that you never hit send on, and still feeling connected. The song also sits well with themes of mortality and the fragility of life (which is probably why it fit so well with the film 'The Fault in Our Stars'). If you’re listening for meaning, I’d suggest letting the song be both a comfort and a nudge: it acknowledges loss but also keeps the memory luminous. Play it on a night drive or while flipping through an old photo album—those moments make the lines land differently for me.

I still get a little chill when the opening chords of 'All of the Stars' come in — that song really sticks with you. If you just want the straight facts: the song was written by Ed Sheeran together with Johnny McDaid. They share the songwriting credit for the track that plays over the credits of the film 'The Fault in Our Stars'. I first heard it on the movie soundtrack and then checked the credits out of curiosity, and that’s when I noticed Johnny McDaid’s name alongside Ed’s. Johnny’s a frequent collaborator with a lot of big artists, and his co-writing work with Ed on this one helped shape those gently aching lyrics and melody. If you want to double-check, the soundtrack liner notes and streaming-services’ song credits both list Ed Sheeran and Johnny McDaid as the songwriters.

I still get goosebumps when that opening guitar comes in — if you want the lyrics to 'All of the Stars', the places I check first are Genius and Musixmatch. Genius usually has the full lyrics plus annotations if you like digging into lines, and Musixmatch often syncs with Spotify or Apple Music so you can follow along while you listen. Ed Sheeran’s official channels are solid too: his official site sometimes posts lyrics or links, and the official YouTube music/lyric video for 'All of the Stars' will often have the full words in the description or captions. A quick tip from experience: Google the phrase "All of the Stars lyrics Ed Sheeran" and look for results from licensed sites (Genius, Musixmatch, LyricFind) rather than random paste sites—those can be full of ads or incorrect lines. If you want an offline, guaranteed-accurate source, buy the track on iTunes/Apple Music or pick up the soundtrack/CD for 'The Fault in Our Stars'—the booklet or the streaming app lyrics feature will show the official text. I like comparing a couple sources because live performances sometimes change a word or two, and spotting those differences is oddly satisfying.

I still get a little giddy when someone asks about 'All of the Stars' — it’s one of those songs that sounds gorgeous on a simple guitar. Yes, you can definitely find chord charts for 'All of the Stars' by Ed Sheeran, but there are a few things to keep in mind when hunting. Start with licensed sheet-music sellers like Musicnotes, Hal Leonard, or the publisher’s site; they sell official transcriptions and often include capo positions and the right key for Ed’s recorded version. If you prefer free options, check sites like Ultimate Guitar, E-chords, or Chordify for user-submitted charts and auto-generated chords. Those are great for quick learning and usually show capo suggestions and alternate voicings. Just remember that free versions vary in accuracy — I bounced between three different user charts the last time I learned it, then matched them to the recording to pick the best one. You’ll also find video tutorials on YouTube that walk through the strumming pattern, which helped me lock the feel better than raw chord sheets ever did. One more practical tip: many players use a capo to sing comfortably while using simpler chord shapes. If you want the version that matches the recording, listen to the track and transpose if needed. Have fun with it — this song is a lovely one to sing around a campfire or in a cozy living room.

If you're trying to use the lyrics to 'All of the Stars' in something public, the first thing I tell friends is: figure out how you want to use them. Are you printing the full lyrics in a blog post or book? Making a lyric video? Singing a cover on YouTube or playing it live at an open mic? Each use touches different rights and different people. Generally, the songwriter and publisher own the words, so reproducing the full lyrics or putting them on a t-shirt requires permission and usually a license and fee. Practically, I would search the performing rights organizations (ASCAP, BMI, SESAC) to find the publisher contact, or use licensed aggregators like LyricFind or Musixmatch if you want hosted, legal lyric displays. For a video that syncs lyrics to music you need a synchronization license from the publisher, and if you use the original recording you also need a master license from the label. For recorded covers distributed on streaming services you typically obtain a mechanical license (Harry Fox Agency/HFA or similar services). For live gigs, most venues already have blanket licenses with PROs. If you just want to quote a line or two for a review, that can sometimes fall under fair use, but it’s not guaranteed — short quotes with commentary are safer than posting whole stanzas. If budget or time is tight, paraphrasing the sentiment, linking to an official lyric page, or directing people to the song on streaming services are simple ways to stay on the right side of copyright. I usually try the licensed route for anything that’s more than a short quoted phrase — it keeps things clean and avoids surprise takedowns.

I'm a big fan of small, intimate performances, so when I look for live takes of 'All of the Stars' I go hunting on YouTube and streaming platforms first. Ed has played that song live many times — at concerts, radio sessions, and unplugged sets — so you can definitely find live recordings. Some are official uploads from his channel or VEVO, others are fan-shot from gigs, and the sound (and small lyric tweaks) varies a lot between them. If you want straight lyrics, the studio version is the baseline; most lyric websites quote the recorded version. But if your question is whether there are live versions with different lyric choices, then yes: Ed sometimes stretches a line, adds an ad-lib, or repeats a phrase for atmosphere. My favorite thing is watching a fan video where the crowd sings the bridge back at him — it changes the whole feeling of the words. For hunting, try searches like "Ed Sheeran 'All of the Stars' live" on YouTube, check official channels and Spotify for any live session releases, and remember that fan recordings are great for emotion even if the audio isn't pristine.

There are a few places I always check when I want the full lyrics to 'All of the Stars' by Ed Sheeran, and each one has its own vibe. My go-to is Genius because I like the community annotations — people add context and sometimes point out subtle lines I never noticed. Musixmatch is great too, especially when I want synced lyrics on my phone while the song plays; it's neat watching the words highlight in time. For plain text pages, AZLyrics and Lyrics.com usually have the complete lyrics quickly available, though they can feel a bit raw without annotations. If I want the most reliable, licensed display, I open Spotify or Apple Music and use their built-in lyrics feature — those are generally accurate and cleared for use. Google also shows a full lyrics panel in search results sometimes, pulled from licensed partners. A small tip from my late-night searches: check the official music video description on YouTube or posts on Ed Sheeran's official site and social channels; occasionally the team posts lyric snippets or links to official lyric pages. I usually cross-check two sources to be sure the wording matches, especially for lines that get misheard.

I’ve played 'All of the Stars' a bunch of times at small gigs and for friends, and the thing everyone asks is what key to use so the vocals don’t crack. The version Ed recorded sits comfortably in A major, and a lot of tutorials and covers achieve that by using G‑shaped chords with a capo on the 2nd fret (so G, D, Em, C shapes sounding as A, E, F#m, D). That’s probably the most common approach because it keeps the easy G/D/Em/C fingerings while matching Ed’s original sound. If you don’t want a capo, play the A‑key shapes: A, E, F#m, D. For lower male voices I often drop it to G major (G, D, Em, C without capo), and for higher female singers transposing up to C or D helps — many people use capo 4 or capo 5 with simple shapes to hit those brighter ranges. Personally I like starting with capo 2 and then moving it up or down depending on the singer; it’s quick, sounds great, and keeps your left hand relaxed for that gentle strum pattern.
