Ellie Goulding - Halcyon Days sync listen (tonight 8.30)

[RJN]

This one was a bit of a hit wasn't it?

Which one?

 

[Iguana]

OKAY

 

[Iguana]

Atlas is the absolute TITS

 

[Tisch]

I Know You Care is about her Dad I believe. Which makes it more emotional for me than of its just a generic song about an ex.

 

[Iguana]

WHERE'D YOU GO? WHERE'D YOU GO? WHERE DID YOU GOOOOOO?

 

[Jark]

sidenote: loving seeing @Iguana just straight up STANNING. Yes girl. Laminate that card. I don't wander into Alanis threads very often so this is a new phenomenon for me.

How did I not like this at the time?? THIS is how you do a repetitive chorus right. Her breathy vocals are nice. I want to sit by a fireplace under a blanket with this on

Pretty but I don't think I really get it...

 

[Jark]

so Dead In The Water is the other track that's absolutely transcendent for me. truly one of the bleakest, most depressing pieces of music I've ever heard - when I'm sad I like to just float in the sparkly ethereal gloom of it, and when I'm happy it still makes me feel sad. and yet there is a beauty to it. it's very moving.

her vocal goes to some insane places on the adlibs. the falsetto notes make me melt.

[Pipo]

[RJN]

I just started Beating Heart. A little Ellie by-the-numbers, but that makes it better than most songs still. I had completely forgotten this was a UK top ten.

 

[Tisch]

I have never heard this before!
