on the edge of paradise every inch of
your skin is a Holy Grail
love me like you do was not only the
second single for the blockbuster sex

everyone too afraid to say I want you to
sex me up
with gentle lyrics referencing an
emotional hi satellites and even the
Holy Grail the lyrics that were
partially penned by Tove lo I can’t see
kidnoh touched on just about everything

brit conjures up images of ghosts and

love valid but it reminds listeners that
it’s okay to move on from nasty breakups
while still understanding the
significance of the past expert
the third single from her huge album
Halcyon explosions is ironically one of
Ellie’s softest and most touching songs
never be same
number seven the rider you wait for
asylums
I’ll a lie next to you
well this girl has a plan and she wants
you to mold her out of clay what do you
say for the final single off her debut
album lights ellie goulding took a folky
approach for a track that hit home for
listeners everywhere
it’s truly a fairy tale of a song and
given the backdrop of a Norfolk
lighthouse in the music video it’s one
of those ballads that couples imagine
while roaming about the countryside and
holding hands
number six starry-eyed
here’s a song about letting go but it’s
also the track that introduced ellie
goulding
to american television audiences
and everybody
lyrically she dropped all inhibitions
when riding starry-eyed as it’s about
having fun whether it be from a natural
high or by taking recreational drugs as
Ellie puts it well in that case the
lyrics take on a new meaning am i right
whatever the case the electro-pop beat
and repetitive lyrics caught on with
younger listeners as starry-eyed was
featured on numerous popular MTV shows
number five my blood
brilliantly written and extravagant in
instrumentation miss Goulding released
this existential track on her second
studio album and fans immediately
embraced the lyrical depth and palms to
the sky chorus
with some hard-hitting drums and the
vocals of Golding being as angelic as
ever the lyrics call out to God about
her blood-stained body and anyone can
relate to the songs connection of lost
love being painful
my blood is a surrealistic gem of
electro-pop music and the singers live
performances are even more electrifying
number four burn leave we don’t have to
worry about nothing
co-written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic
and originally recorded by Leona Lewis
this infectious synth pop release earns
Ellie her first number-one in the UK and
we’re gonna

of fighting for what you believe in and
your passion will catch on with others

burnt or up the charts and inspired
young females to mimic Ellie’s vocal
intonation for hours upon hours on end
and why not it’s a catchy catchy track
and we’re gonna
number three figure eight these are
smoking two miles in the back of a car
with you
not only does le slay this song’s
personal lyrics but she’s also got the
dubstep beat going on thus making a
notable shift in her sound and worldwide
appeal
starting off slow and exploding in the
song’s chorus the overall package of
figure 8 was a welcome surprise for
Ellie Goulding fans of the world and
helped the album Halcyon go three times
platinum in the UK to anything possibly
sonically inspired by Skrillex who was
at one point romantically involved with
Ellie we couldn’t be more pleased with
the direction that she went on this
track
number two anything could happen
for the lead single offers second album
le came out swinging with a timeless
production that looks back at the past
and most importantly embraces the
present
the music video for the instant pop
classic featured le as some sort of
bleeding beach time traveler
