It's not underrated, it has 16 million views. Been swallowed by the pop radio machine and obviously people don't listen to it anymore. Lol just think before you speak, I guess.
This was the first song that made me know her... I can't describe how much I love this song. It's kind of dream or something that made me want to live in this song :)
5 months ago i wrote a comment and time flies but where, it felt like time never flied and we are in same age when we listen to music.. 😢😢😔😭, im crying so much
Excluding one or two songs, Delerium is drastically different compared to the first album. A lot of it is really badly done generic pop music. I love pop music, so I can safely say that album is mostly not the good kind of pop. Lost and Found and Devotion are the only two songs on Delerium that are really similar to Ellie's older songs. It almost seems like Lost and Found was purposely meant to be a throwback to her older style, if you take the meaning of the song + the production into account.
I'm happy with her success and her style now but I can't lie I do miss the old Ellie. I remember when I was in middle school just sitting in my classroom listening to music, and my friends would be like "Who are you listening to?" and when I said "Ellie Goulding" they'd be like "Ellie who?" and now she's everywhere :) so proud of her
Lights is up there, The Writer too. Two of her best without a doubt, i wish i could say that about ANY of the new generic songs since Delirium (maybe except Army)
@@charliez077 they all are good, burn love me like u do, it doesnt mean that it isnt her early music cuz she have changed, this delirium, lights, halcyon were everything, just because she is older and wiser, its still herself, she is grown, wiser, smarter but her soul and heart is always the same who she were!! Lets all remember that !
This is one of my favorite Ellie Goulding songs ever. It's so special, beautiful melody and her voice is amazing. Also, I love the lyrics and the video is pretty nice! I'm very proud of how much she has grown as a singer and an artist. ♥
this may be my favourite ellie goulding song ever. it's so raw and personal from the emotion she conveys through it. and i like it a lot too because it's relatable. most girls can relate to a song like this you know.. trying to change for a boy to get him to like you or feeling inadequate because he doesn't notice you in the way you want him to
But did I ever say that other people besides girls don't experience this?? I'm a girl expressing something from my own experience as a girl. Just bc i didnt mention everyone doesnt mean I'm invalidating anyone else's experiences. You wanna talk about other ppl feeling inadequate? Fine be my guest. make your own post about it and leave me alone
@@veronikakockova3584 for me no cuz she have grown as a woman but her heart snd soul is still the sa,e as it were when she started making music, maybe its mainstream but its different and we can say that we enjoy it cuz even if its mainstream and all that her songs are good and if people like you just forget that then u or all others is silly cuz she is still doing it with her heart, why cant yall understand? Her music is still different like others, another artist whos songs are different too is Kesha

i once had a lover who i called “the writer” and “the artist” because of his talent for the arts. when we broke up, i found this song and it felt like deja vu. this song just brought out my love for him instead of bitterness.
I perceived this song as if she were surrendering herself to Jesus Christ (especially the main chorus) and asking Him to direct her life. I just love this song, it gives me chills.
Ellie Goulding has been my favorite artist since 2010. I have enjoyed all of her styles of music. I adore all of her albums, although "Halcyon" will always be my favorite. I don't think she's changed. She's just growing as an artist. Anything she makes, I'll listen to.
Yes, same why people wont get it, she still is sa,e like she were, she is just grown as a person but nothing is chanced she is making music whats good yes new love were really mainstream but any others were great and if people think that now she is bad then she doesnt have an Army and we need to be this, we need to give her what she is worth, cuz music and she isnt changed, people are chanced.
Her last album sucked ass though. I can’t even remember the name of it but it’s the one with the white background and she’s blue lol. Those songs were awful. Usually even with albums I don’t like by artists I do like, I can find one song that I like. I listened to that album like four times before finally just giving up. It was sonically rotten lol
“Why don’t you be the artist, I’ll make me out of clay, why don’t you be the writer, and decide the words I say” Those are some of the coolest lyrics I’ve ever seen. Not only do they just sound interesting but she makes such a common sense point that you almost never hear in songs-in most cases, all you have to do to make someone say the things you want or be the way you want is to treat them the way they need to be treated to get them to say/do those things. You form your relationships with people by the way you treat them and talk to them. That concept makes so much sense but it just doesn’t get touched on much in music for some reason.
This song is so beautiful...I had forgotten about it until a few minutes ago. I heard a tune that sounded familiar and then I realised it was from one of my favorite songs of Ellie's. So I started looking, not even knowing what it was called and not being able to remember any words. As soon as I saw the title, I knew this was it. After my accident, that is a big deal for me. I love this 💜
Can't believe this is nearly 10 years old in just less than a year, feels like yesterday. Still love with it in, anyone else here 2019 vibing away to this amazing song still? 💚
I just said the same thing on Facebook, hahaha. I totally agree. I once saw her at a festival and she was performing on the smallest stage and the room wasnt even half full and look at her now. I think she's doing really good and I love her! Im sorry for my english, I'm dutch :P
I know Ellie Goulding is a celebrity and is therefore quite popular, so some people might find this comment silly, but I really think she deserves more acclaim. This song is unbelievably well composed. Love it! :-) #elliegoulding #bestsongs
i remember listening to this when i first fell for a girl...now i miss a part of ellie goulding that i cant express with words...idk xD maybe i liked those times without even knowing, despite how sad they were... ohh Ellie
She isnt changed, her soul and mind is still the same like when she started music, her music is still different just people are chanced, its nothing more.
She's like a totally different person now. I used to like her as a person but she's not even sort of like who she used to be, and you can't say that all of it was natural progression of character. She changed a little TOO drastically for that to just have been "growing up."
Couldn't agree more.. I literally almost cry of nostalgia listening to this and watching her.. She was so special, so authentic. Her songs really grabbed to the heart... It's like she lost herself :(... Actually feel sad for her, cause I think she's not that happy overall...
This song made me cry was a postman getting my mail prepared for my round, put my CD in, I played this song when I heard it i started to well up I was in a dark place in my mind because I did something wrong, went in front off the judge, that week that month I was not myself this song took me out off my dark place made me realize don't do anything silly got family that loves me friends that will miss me and I'm still here in 2024 Thank you, Ellie Coulding
It’s 2020 and I still can’t believe how underrated this song is. Such a masterpiece.
I also realized why this song is so suppressed while its music and words are so beautiful and full of intimacy❤️❤️
You make me melt hard doofus xox ❤️💜💙 so beautiful in every form
It's not underrated, it has 16 million views. Been swallowed by the pop radio machine and obviously people don't listen to it anymore. Lol just think before you speak, I guess.
It's 2020 and I can't believe that the comment section is turning into a god damn calendar
Love this song, anyone here on 2020?
Ellie Goulding - The Writer. Probably one of the most underrated songs ever. This song deserves more love. Perhaps one of my favorite songs. :c
I think this is where the Anything Could Happen outfit started.
lol
Tbh.. This song isn't that good
Aww cmon, the song is great! :D
First time I hear it, i like it !
This was the first song that made me know her... I can't describe how much I love this song. It's kind of dream or something that made me want to live in this song :)
@@dualcoregalaxyxxnewextensi1687 It’s so good and true what are you saying, thank you so much!
It’s truly , this remind me of older days, i miss them

Why is the music video gone...😢😢😢😞
Yeah, I'm really happy that she's successful too, but there was something so charming about the old, previously unknown Ellie, so I miss her too!
ah masa
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
One of the best songs of Ellie Goulding for sure.
2024, I’m back to this gem 🥹
Her very best song without any doubt... even greater than Lights as I see it!
I disagree. In my opinion Lights is a masterpiece. Its my all time favorite song. Lyrically, this song is absolutely stunning.
Lights is up there, The Writer too. Two of her best without a doubt, i wish i could say that about ANY of the new generic songs since Delirium (maybe except Army)
Destiny Pugh lights and First time and army and sixteen, omg there are so many of my fav ellie’s songs
@@charliez077 they all are good, burn love me like u do, it doesnt mean that it isnt her early music cuz she have changed, this delirium, lights, halcyon were everything, just because she is older and wiser, its still herself, she is grown, wiser, smarter but her soul and heart is always the same who she were!!

this may be my favourite ellie goulding song ever. it's so raw and personal from the emotion she conveys through it. and i like it a lot too because it's relatable. most girls can relate to a song like this you know.. trying to change for a boy to get him to like you or feeling inadequate because he doesn't notice you in the way you want him to
+Gorjess VIPP many /people/ can relate to that
+Gorjess VIPP I just wants her the way she is This song is true though but yes
+Gorjess VIP "most girls" you mean literally everyone that feels inadequate, not just girls..
But did I ever say that other people besides girls don't experience this?? I'm a girl expressing something from my own experience as a girl. Just bc i didnt mention everyone doesnt mean I'm invalidating anyone else's experiences.

I miss this Ellie 🥺
😭💔
She looks so innocent! Less makeup and the song is beautiful.
She barely has any make up, still she looks natural as she should :)
Less makeup is almost always a good thing! Especially for naturally pretty people!
What happened to her lip now
Man I wish she would go back to these kinds of songs.
+Repentz YT SPODERMAN
Repentz she is commercial shit right now...
@@veronikakockova3584 for me no cuz she have grown as a woman but her heart snd soul is still the sa,e as it were when she started making music, maybe its mainstream but its different and we can say that we enjoy it cuz even if its mainstream and all that her songs are good and if people like you just forget that then u or all others is silly cuz she is still doing it with her heart, why cant yall understand?

You wait for a silence
I wait for a word
Lie next to your frame
Girl unobserved
You change your position
And you are changing me
Casting these shadows
Where they shouldn't be
We're interrupted by the heat of the sun
Trying to prevent what's already begun
You're just a body
I can smell your skin
And when I feel it, you're wearing thin
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
Sat on your sofa, it's all broken springs
This isn't the place for those violin strings
I try out a smile and I aim it at you
You must have missed it
You always do
But I've got a plan
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows, interrupted
You wait, I wait, casting shadows
Why don't you be the artist, and make me out of clay?
Why don't you be the writer and decide the words I say?
'Cause I'd rather pretend
I'll still be there at the end
Only it's too hard to ask, won't you try to help me

I miss this Ellie...
True but she hasnt gone anywhere, she is still the same
i once had a lover who i called “the writer” and “the artist” because of his talent for the arts. when we broke up, i found this song and it felt like deja vu. this song just brought out my love for him instead of bitterness.
Her voice, her accent, her body figure, her songs and that beautiful lyrics, her hair style, her beautiful face, her unique voice are just ♥
The melody is so moving
This is the first Ellie's song I listen to, and I fell in love with her ever since
incredible how the best song of her is the most underrated
This song never get old and always heal us. How beautiful the lylics and her fascinated voice.
Hello there. how are you doing?🖐
I perceived this song as if she were surrendering herself to Jesus Christ (especially the main chorus) and asking Him to direct her life. I just love this song, it gives me chills.

It was my favourite song in 2010. Now it's almost 2016 and this song is still my all time favourite
+chrispong Me too..
Jeez, she has such a cute voice. That little inflection she does at the end of "pretend" is just heaven.
2015 and i'm still listening
Feels like heaven
coming back to this song after 8 years oh god...
one of the best songs i have ever heard ... ! thanks for this oppourtinutiy
MuchMore SF Yep, truly great song.
This song healed me so many years ago and I still love it
I could not believe it has upgraded to HD version! It's my great day. And it's my all time most favourite song!
Ellie, you need to make more music like this! 😭💖
Ellie is so beautiful 😍😍😘😘🤩😘
the most romantic song ever heard in my life..............
Gosh she was amazing back then

This album was so perfect !
classic example of a song that is so beautiful, that it actually hurts.

Nostalgia 🥹
Sad to see this Ellie Goulding leave us :/ I'm glad for her popularity, but I'm sad that she lost herself in the fame
Me too :( oh well, people change.
+Demon Days of Vinyl She didnt lost her self in fame, she just changed through fame lol every one does.
She just wanted to try something new.

Hi Ellie!!! Has anyone ever told you that you sing like an angel?
Many critics describe her vocals as "ethereal", "angelic", "unimaginative" and "original" !
I fully agree.
This is underrated.
I live next to that lighthouse!! It's in Happisbugh, Norfolk!
Hello neighbour, from N. Walsham.
Hi
I've heard the instrumental so many times, never realised it was one of Ellie's songs
X Factor Season 2 used 2play it all da time lol
Thank you for keepnig me awake,, I know you just hit me a rush of somethig!!!
this song is BEAUTY .AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
2019 anyone? I totally forgot how beautiful she was. Her voice, her natural face.. where did you go Ellie?
This song has been screaming in my head to come back to it, back to simpler times...
If you're watching this in 2021 then you are Legend 🤟🤘
I love her
This song is my guilty pleasure
Me too
+Kavith Chara Navas me as well friends, not really a guilty pleasure, but yeah
benjamin morales for me, it's like remember when she wasn't a lot famous like Now, when her songs talked about a lovely love....
Kavith Chara Navas I loved all of her first albums songs ..
Yes, she has very pretty songs... Like Salt Skin, The Writer, Wish I Stayed, This Love
i love her. so much!!
Very beautiful
This song, My Blood, and Dead In the Water are her best, imo.
.
I even dont know them too
i remember singing this song in the shower, literally my favorite Ellie song.
I think I'll always love this song.
The song is beautiful and wonderful, but the singer is more beautiful
when she had a different music style :( miss that so much
I so much want to hug Her, share the energy...
i have liked ellie goulding since starry eyed. just thinking its about time she made another album? have her other two.
She's releasing a new album, "Delirium", in early November 2015
This song is amazing. It kind of gives me like fairy tariff vibes.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!
what a fucking glorious song.
Ellie Goulding and a lighthouse... there's no better mix. And they're both beautiful masterpieces :D
This song made me cry was a postman getting my mail prepared for my round, put my CD in, I played this song when I heard it i started to well up I was in a dark place in my mind because I did something wrong, went in front off the judge, that week that month I was not myself this song took me out off my dark place made me realize don't do anything silly got family that loves me friends that will miss me and I'm still here in 2024
