when i first heard this song i thought she said.. "sat on your sofa, its all broken springs, this isnt a place, for those violent strings" instead of "violin strings" haha
@Masterlupin I'm pretty sure she wrote it as it is so it -would- come off like that. The singer is offering herself to her desired in any way that he would take her. She would become anything he wanted, but she's still intimidated. At least that's how I take it.
@thejoesaid1 I think that's what she is saying too. :) My post might have seemed too much about her intend of her song. I do understand the feeling she's portraying. I just rather enjoy the thought of a love song where two people that can't communicate make each other lead in each their own way, instead of one or the other giving up their free will :P
Ellie is real, unlike all those other female artists. She doesn't use false lashes. She doesn't use wigs. She doesn't wear slutty clothes. She doesn't wear HUGE jewelry. She doesn't do crazy dance moves. She doesn't wear 6 in heels. She doesn't sing about hooking up and sex. All she does is wear natural makeup, straight/curly hair or however she wears it, a shirt, jeans, flats/sneakers. She walks around and sings about stuff that REALLY matters. LOVE, not hookups. Shes real and herself.
Do you know how it feels to get bullied since you were in 2nd grade just because you were different? People don't know you BUT they don't talk to you because of what other people say please watch my video and share it with other people please guys together we can stop this bullying thats going on. Try making a difference HELP ME SHOW THE PEOPLE WHO PUT ME THREW SO MUCH THAT ANYONE CAN PULL THREW!
I love Ellie Goulding, and I love that she has stayed in England to do her music video for this song. So many artists feel the need to go to America to shoot their video, not Norfolk like this one, but this video is so effective! :)
@fishybishbash yeah sure, it's filmed in and around Happisburgh Lighthouse. We went there a month or so before this video came out, and I was really shocked that I reconised it!
@BellaTheOwl Let me try and explain; its fine that you like swift, but ellie and taylor do not sing to the same audience, in the same genre, or in stylistically similar ways. It's like someone saying Britney Spears (at her height) was the new Madonna. Of course, maybe you see the similarities between taylor and ellie because they're the most prominent singers that you like. Hope that helped~
If you listen to my singing, voice and my creativity level, then listen to my favorites, like Banco Del Mutuoso Soccroso, Van Der Graaf Generator etc..you will find out that the music industry is a scam. They don't promote the most creative people, they shove them aside big time, especially recently. People follow the media because it is like a religion. Religion is not real, not one person can prove that religion is real, though people follow it blindly. Same thing with the music industry.
i love this song i had a dream when i was littel and the next day i herd it i loved it sooo much and the next day i forgot about it , and i have lit all them years go by not thinking off this song ,and know i have found it ,i will never forget it again ,,,i promise
@ItsCharlesAndStuff I'm pretty sure it's decide. I thought it was recite at first too, but I listened more closely and it definitely sounded like decide.
We're an independent label trying to make it in this game and the best way to do that is by being more known on youtube.One of the ways we stand out is we help unsigned artists get more fans by uploading their songs for a new fan base

I adore Ellie and I love this song but the 'why don't you be the write and make me out of clay?' part, kind of confuses me. Writing and making clay is a totally different things...
@nikond3000kmb I think you've must have misheard it or mixed up the lyrics - it says 'Why don't you be the artist and make me out of clay, why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say', which makes a lot more sense.
This music video is sooo beautiful. I'm really looking forward to her new album.. not only because of the songs but also because of the videos. I love them <3
@littlelizzie998 You really should focus on one novel. I find it's a lot easier to write as much as you need when you're strictly dedicated to one book instead of several. If this is your first and only current novel, great! But if you've several in the works, well, I would pair down. Just some advice. :)
If you want an alternative to commercial music, come to my channel of alternative favorites etc..If not continue on your way in the commercial world.
I've had a shit day some asshole tool has been talking shit about me at school to my friends for no reason at all but I feel it'll be okay. Only because Ellie Goulding's song is making me feel better :)

Would be more healthy and less needy ^_^ I keep telling myself that's what she's singing xD
