Chord Twins

One song that I found that follows the I-V-vi-IV progression is All of the Stars by Ed Sheeran. This song is in the key of B Major. I discovered this song had this chord progression by first playing the chords on my piano while humming along to the chords. I played the chords at different tempos to try and see if I could think of a song that wasn't in the Axis of Awesome's 4-Chord Song. It took me quite some time to figure it out, but I made this connection in my brain that I had heard these chords somewhere else. I started to hum the melody to All of the Stars while playing the chords, and even though it sounded slightly different, overall I found that it does have the chord progression once I played the first verse of the song with the I-V-vi-IV progression. All of the Stars has multiple elements to it so it was hard to hear the chord progression at first but by focusing only on the piano part I was able to figure it out.
