Fighter Plane.

I cannot put into words how much this song means to me. I heard this over a year ago, when Under The Sheets came out- it’s the B-Side. I heard it at a time that I hope to god or whoever, that I never have to go through it again. The line “Face your mistakes, you will never have to feel that way again.” hit me in the gut and heart. It just clicked somewhere. It’s such a beautiful song. Probably my favourite Ellie song. If she did it live I’d be a mess and attempt to get on stage and hug her and say “Thank you.” Everything about the song is perfect. The words…her voice. I just adore it.

I won’t ever deny that acoustic songs can sometimes turn me into a mess. A big crying mess. About 15 minutes ago, I was one- I have yet to get a grip. I haven’t learnt my lesson so I’m listening to the same song over and over- because it is that gorgeous.

I’m clearly going on about the acoustic version of The Writer by Ellie Goulding. She just amazes me every time. Her album, Lights is stunning. One of the best albums this year. And easily one of the most wonderful debut albums.

If I could get away with slapping anyone who slags her off- I gladly would. I mean, listen to Salt Skin- how the hell can you deny how great she is? But anyway, I shall leave you with the song that has reduced me to tears. You can get it from 9th August off iTunes and all that good stuff. Buy it. Because I said so- and I’d very much like you too =]

The Writer (Acoustic)

Also, I wish she’d sing The End and Fighter Plane during her gigs. Although, I’d be asked to leave due to being a crying mess…..

I did love this when it was called Swimming Pool, but the version on Lights is just as gorgeous. The words are beautiful. The song means a lot…right now.

Breathe air you’re not used to, tread floors you don’t fall through
Make waves…
You crash a symbol hard
Follow no one, always play the wrong card
Waste days, in foreign places
Shed lights, on your better side
Reassure me that you’ll wait for me, wait for me as long as it takes!

And I’ll hold my breath, I’ll hold my breath

Until you see me in your dreams
WE’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Thsoe fears we’ll blow them all way

Fight fires in your best clothes, touch skin with your eyes closed
Chase thunder…
With the volume down
Pack a suitcase, wonder to the next town
Force quit, on your losing streak
Solve a riddle in a magazine, be tongue in cheek
Tell me that we’re still too young, that we’re still too young and I’ll my tongue

Until you see me in your dreams
WE’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust
A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Thsoe fears we’ll blow them all way

I’m here, I’m here to save you
No fall, I will swim to save you

Until you see me in your dreams
We’ll stay awake beneath the trees
We’ll watch the buildings turn to dust A sky of diamonds just for us
You are the risk I’ll always take
The only branch I’ll never break
Those fears we’ll blow them all way, we’ll blow them all away.

Live.
