Biography

An English singer and songwriter, born 30 December 1986 Hereford, England. In 2010 she became the second artist to both top the BBC's annual Sound of... poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele's win of both in 2008. After signing to Polydor Records in 2009, she released her first EP in 2009, An Introduction to Ellie Goulding. Goulding released her debut studio album, Lights, in 2010. The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and has sold over 850,000 copies in the UK. Her cover of Elton John's "Your Song" reached number two in the UK in December 2010. On 29 April 2011 she performed the song at the wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton at Buckingham Palace. The album's title track, "Lights", was released in the US in March 2011, and reached its peak position of number two on the Billboard Hot 100 nearly a year and a half later during its thirty-third week charting, completing one of the longest ever climbs into the top two positions on the chart. The single was also certified triple platinum by the RIAA. Goulding has a soprano vocal range and her musical style has been compared to that of Kate Nash, Meiko, Lykke Li and Tracey Thorn.

LYRICS

Why Can't we speak another language
one we all agree on
why when men look outside do they see houses
instead of fields they grew from
we are constantly uprooted from them
making us tiresome and fearful
can you get up right now
and endeavor freefall (off)

Caus'you can fall if you want to
it's just a matter of how far
you've treasured your home town
you've forgotten where you are
and it will stay with you
til' your mind's been found
and it has been found
wondering around.

Without a skipping rope
A trampoline
A Crafty smoke
they've made a simpler way to give up
it's the simple ways
of getting payed
the carelessness of lieing awake
oh i wish i stayed
I wish i stayed
I wish i stayed

Patterns all arranged in my backround
It's pillars and posts keeping this country on form
letters were all sent with no addresses
so that people can't scuffer
always undercover
why do i always draw triangles
instead of words
it's paint so it serves

you see
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
but it's what you'll find
I don't own my clothes but i own my mind
And it's not what you've lost
but it's what you'll find

Without a skipping rope
A trampoline
A crafty smoke
they've made a simpler way to give up
it's the simple ways
of getting payed
the carelessness of lieing awake
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed

Can you can fall if you want to
It's just a matter of how far
You've treasured your home town
you've forgotten where you are
and it will stay with you
til' your mind's been found
and it has been found
wondering around.

Without a skipping rope
A trampoline
A crafty smoke
they've made a simpler way to give up
it's the simple ways
of getting payed
the carelessness of lieing awake
I wish I stayed
I wish I stayed
