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

Ed Sheeran, the hugely popular singer-songwriter—his ballads really hit you in the heart, don’t they? Among his many gems, the one I’d like to recommend today is All Of The Stars, which appears on the soundtrack of the film The Fault in Our Stars.

It’s a song about thinking of someone dear who’s far away, fighting off anxiety, and finding a way to live each day.

The slow tempo and steady drumbeat gently soothe the heart.

It’s especially recommended for couples in long-distance relationships or for those living away from their families.

Even when you’re apart, listening to this song together can make you feel that your hearts are still connected.

Alessia Cara – Scars To Your Beautiful (Official Video)

This is a song by Alessia Cara that powerfully advocates self-affirmation and inner beauty.

The Canadian artist included it on her debut album, Know-It-All, released in November 2015.

It challenges society’s standards of beauty and carries a message encouraging self-acceptance.

Inspired by Cara’s own experiences and the struggles of her friends, the track reached No.

8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and resonated with many listeners.

It was also featured in the trailer for the film A Wrinkle in Time.

Recommended for those who want to cherish their individuality and for anyone looking to uplift the people around them.

OZZY OSBOURNE – “Mama, I’m Coming Home” (Official Video)

A power ballad filled with kindness and gratitude has been delivered by British rock legend Ozzy Osbourne.

The guitar, opening with a pedal steel–like resonance, and the soul-stirring melody carry heartfelt feelings for a loved one that truly move the listener.

Featured on the album No More Tears, the song was released in November 1991 and became a major hit, reaching No.

28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The lyrics, co-written with Lemmy Kilmister, warmly express love and appreciation for a cherished person after a long separation, and they reflect Ozzy’s deep feelings for his wife, Sharon.

It’s a masterpiece I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone hoping to reunite with family or close friends, or to those who want to convey everyday gratitude through music.
