My Newly Found Love Of Ellie Goulding

So, I heard Ellie Goulding lots of times on the radio and seen her on magazines and stuff. But I never really took much interest, or listened to her stuff until recently. I think she is a one cool chick with a super awesome-sounding voice! My current favorites are the songs above, especially, " Love Me Like You Do'. It sends goose-bumps up my spine- I adore how emotional, raw, and romantic it is. The perfect combination of beautiful lyrics and music is so wonderful! I'm going to learn how to play it on the piano, because I love it so much.
I've cried myself through Ellie's songs in my darkest hours and she's really encouraged and blessed me with her relatable, heart-wrenching songs. I can't thank her enough for her music, which was such a friend to me during the current season of my life.
One thing I really like about Ellie is how humble and genuine and real she seems, inspite of her roller-coaster ride to fame. She's played for Prince William and Kate Middleton, for crying out loud! And yet she just acts like a normal person, is open about her problems and panic attacks, and encourages girls tremendously. I love how she is proud of how strong and beautiful a body she has and how she inspires me to love who I am and the body I have; without starving/depriving myself. She takes care of her body, by working out and eating healthy, but isn't above a cheat now and then.
For me, that is the ideal, perfect balance to find in life.


As an aspiring singer/songwriter, I find is so refreshing the journey of hard work and passion she took to becoming one. Ellie was the first person in her family to attend University and applied herself whole-heartedly to make her parents proud of her. Then, she taught herself to play guitar and didn't give up, playing gigs constantly throughout college.
I honestly believe that if more women acted like Ellie, the world would be a better place:) I hope you enjoy her music as much as I have. Check out "Delirium" if you haven't already- it's pretty badass!
