Ellie

I know I am adamant that in some way I am related to Ellie Goulding because the spelling of the surname is really un-common and it is predominant in my close family, but secretly I think I just love her way too much and I'm hoping she is my long lost cousin and we can be best friends!! I just think pretty much everything about her is pretty cool...and she is clearly so beautiful! I think most people that know me by now realise that the Angelina's, Megan's and Cheryl's of this world don't make me jealous in anyway! But it is the unconventionally beautiful and effortlessly cool of the likes of Ellie Goulding that make me green with envy!

I listened to her album pretty much on repeat on holiday and I continue to now i'm back and it made me realise how beautiful her latest release from her Album 'Lights' is. Ok, the chorus to 'The Writer' does make me think of the Lionel Richie Video for Hello, where the blind girl makes lionel's head out of clay but even this reference cannot spoil the amazing-ness of this song.

You wait for a silence

I wait for a word

Lying next to your frame

Girl unobserved

You change your position

You're changing me

Casting these shadows

Where they shouldn't be

We're interrupted

By the heat of the sun

Trying to prevent

What's already begun

You're just a body

I can smell your skin

And when I feel it

You're wearing thin

But I've got a plan

Why don't you be the artist

And make me out of clay?

Why don't you be the writer

Decide the words I say?

Cause I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there at the end

Only it's too hard to ask

Won't you try to help me?

Sat on your sofa

It's all broken springs

This isn't the place for

Those violin strings

I try out a smile

And I aim it at you

You must have missed it

You always do

But I've got a plan

Why don't you be the artist

And make me out of clay?

Why don't you be the writer

Decide the words I say?

Cause I'd rather pretend

I'll still be there at the end

Only it's too hard to ask

Won't you try to help me?

By the way, I have no issues with Lionel Richie, I think he's a legend and Hello is a tune!!!
