All I want

Ever since the album for 'The Fault in our Stars' came out, I really wanted to purchase the song 'All of the Stars' by Ed Sheeran. Despite not knowing his second album, I really love his songs from + and I instantly loved his song written for this beloved movie, however, in order to buy this one song, I had to buy the entire album, which I wasn't really willing to do. But yesterday I got the album and I am glad I did, because all the songs are so beautiful and really suit the absolutely beautiful story. Songs like 'Long way down', 'Oblivion', 'Strange things will happen' and 'No one ever loved' are only some of the other songs that contributed to this wonderful compilation.

I've been listening to this album on and off throughout the day, and I'm thoroughly enjoying all the tracks, but today I would like to pick out the song "All I want" by Kodaline, where the tune is so calming and melodic with the acoustic guitar and the the soft voice of the lead singer; it is like a lullaby. The lyrics may not be profound, but they ring so true to anyone who has ever been in love 
(So you brought out the best of me,
A part of me I've never seen.
You took my soul and wiped it clean.
Our love was made for movie screens)

and got lost and left behind...
(But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is,
And all I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody like you)

In a way, the song is comforting and well chosen for 'The Fault in our Stars' soundtrack.
