[@Relentless1224]

It’s 2020 and I still can’t believe how underrated this song is. Such a masterpiece.

[@56prakash95]

I also realized why this song is so suppressed while its music and words are so beautiful and full of intimacy❤️❤️

[@tamarazetaebereticulumkotz2214]

You make me melt hard doofus xox ❤️💜💙 so beautiful in every form

[@LowdownBoy]

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.

[@sarahtill3968]

It's 2020 and I can't believe that the comment section is turning into a god damn calendar

[@mysterisstudios]

Love this song, anyone here on 2020?

[@JustEndieTheDragon]

Ellie Goulding - The Writer. Probably one of the most underrated songs ever. This song deserves more love. Perhaps one of my favorite songs. :c

[@queeninsomniaellie1977]

I think this is where the Anything Could Happen outfit started.

[@JustEndieTheDragon]

lol

[@alizakhan1675]

Tbh.. This song isn't that good

[@MrShagification]

Yeah, I miss the old Indie, Folky, Ellie.

[@grongar22]

+homer blair yes you are right

[@julietaandrade4120]

+John Shepard Yeah, I mean, her new style is good, but this...

[@cesarjotaga]

+John Shepard Have you heard Delirium?

[@razrv3lc]

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.

[@paige2201]

+razrv3lc idk if still falling for you is in delrelium, but it reminded me of old ellie

[@AnastasiaSilvi]

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

[@tonyr3260]

[@robbietann8279]

Why is the music video gone...😢😢😢😞

[@sabrinac7106]

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!

[@strygwyr8801]

ah masa

[@sleepingPikachu025]

👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿

[@CamboSpaceandScienceOfficial]

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 :)

[@mysterisstudios]

@@dualcoregalaxyxxnewextensi1687 It’s so good and true what are you saying, thank you so much!

[@mysterisstudios]

It’s truly , this remind me of older days, i miss them

[@ridhap]

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 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 Songwriters: Ellie Goulding / John Latimer

[@marilynclark7298]

Why don't you be the artist, "I'll " make me out of clay?

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. ♥

[@ashleighlash5626]

No. JjSjjiiqiiqaakkkakskskkskzkkaqi

[@sleepingPikachu025]

❔

[@annac6994]

Her very best song without any doubt... even greater than Lights as I see it!

[@destinypugh2394]

I disagree. In my opinion Lights is a masterpiece. Its my all time favorite song. Lyrically, this song is absolutely stunning.

[@charliez077]

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)

[@mysterisstudios]

Destiny Pugh lights and First time and army and sixteen, omg there are so many of my fav ellie’s songs

[@mysterisstudios]

@@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 !

[@christophersammy9054]

Hello there. how are you doing?

[@reveluvlinus6039]

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

[@error.418]

+Gorjess VIPP many /people/ can relate to that

[@techno42087]

+Gorjess VIPP I just wants her the way she is This song is true though but yes

[@maxj9989]

+Gorjess VIP "most girls" you mean literally everyone that feels inadequate, not just girls..

[@reveluvlinus6039]

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

[@maxj9989]

TRIGGERED

[@qp6325]

One of the best songs of Ellie Goulding for sure.

[@harlemtorrez5508]

I miss this Ellie...

[@mysterisstudios]

True but she hasnt gone anywhere, she is still the same

[@abrahamhariolanang]

This is the first Ellie's song I listen to, and I fell in love with her ever since

[@_uaety]

She looks so innocent! Less makeup and the song is beautiful.

[@SmonstaaaS]

She barely has any make up, still she looks natural as she should :)

[@sephelineg6117]

Less makeup is almost always a good thing! Especially for naturally pretty people!

[@riacardi7011]

What happened to her lip now

[@fchryssreitimothy]

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.

[@RepentzYT]

Man I wish she would go back to these kinds of songs.

[@sillykork8291]

+Repentz YT SPODERMAN

[@veronikakockova3584]

Repentz she is commercial shit right now...

[@mysterisstudios]

@@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

[@laliiseee]

coming back to this song after 8 years oh god...

[@rubentrigo12689]

I love the moment when I discovered Ellie over a decade ago.

[@NiallsPrincesz]

Her voice, her accent, her body figure, her songs and that beautiful lyrics, her hair style, her beautiful face, her unique voice are just ♥

[@HeruyGonzalez]

2015 and i'm still listening

[@The_Gill]

If you're watching this in 2021 then you are Legend 🤟🤘

[@poliworl25]

incredible how the best song of her is the most underrated

[@razrv3lc]

“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.

[@r0adsick]

I'd rather listen to her "old" songs than to the new ones, changed too much -sad life- i miss the old ellie goulding

[@JoslynNicole18]

This is the song that made me fall in love with Ellie Goulding’s music.

[@CamboSpace]

I could not believe it has upgraded to HD version! It's my great day. And it's my all time most favourite song!

[@sarturia1719]

This song never get old and always heal us. How beautiful the lylics and her fascinated voice.

Still listening in 2021 ! Gouldigger since 8 years

[@MrUsarmyranger97]

Ellie is a gift from the heavens! She has the voice of an age

[@Henrycharles234]

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

[@isismol1993]

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.

[@mysterisstudios]

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.

[@razrv3lc]

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

[@merituulia1370]

One of the most beautifully written songs I know.

[@Laughingcat-]

Nostalgia 🥹

[@christinag7924]

Forgot about this song and remembered it ~7 years later... 13 yo me was obsessed with this song lol

[@Medicinelife348]

I would listen to this 11 years ago , in the school bus. On my way to school. Making up scenarios in my head of how I had a crush on my best friend.. but some things aren’t meant to be, we were too scared to love…Now they are getting married soon.. life is a little sad at times.

[@sinatrafixi]

I miss this Ellie :(

[@49cchris]

voice of a angle for sure! true artist she is god bless ellie 100%☆🙄💙

True! She's really an Angel , actually every fans and even critics describe her voice as angelic.

Thumbs up, if you're still listening to this, it's 2014

[@Tpdkgod]

''it's 2014'' No shit, fuckwit

[@ppmmrr]

Ah, when I was writing that I knew that someone will say exactly like this, thank you, yes I know it was a sherlock thing, but you know in few months there will be for ex. (5 months ago) then someone will wonder if it was 2013 or 2014 (okay maybe not) XD

[@johncornishlandrut]

it feels as if it was yesterday :S Anyways I wondered if anyone of you has the video from behind the scenes at the writer video. I can't find it anymore and would love to see it again :/

[@johncornishlandrut]

She was wearing a tale and was joking around in it. It was so cute xS

[@ppmmrr]

I know what you mean, but no, I don't have it, is it removed, I haven't seeked it in so long time...

[@jillimain7885]

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.

[@timbyles4124]

Finally. I've found it. Been after this for years. Made my day today.

[@cget]

Jeez, she has such a cute voice. That little inflection she does at the end of "pretend" is just heaven.

[@robhank6930]

classic example of a song that is so beautiful, that it actually hurts.

[@FlorenciaMur9]

Correction: this song is bittersweet

[@gcoucou2]

This album was so perfect !

[@micalah8282]

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 💜

[@christophersammy9054]

Hello there. how are you doing?🖐

[@dreamov2D]

The lyrics tell a story about a relationship between two lovers that are having some trouble. They aren't really working together, so the girl offers the guy to start gaining control and to be "the writer" in an attempt to work things out.

[@yd5naj]

+Demon Days of Vinyl She didnt lost her self in fame, she just changed through fame lol every one does.

[@architmishra3935]

She just wanted to try something new.

[@razrv3lc]

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."

[@aasigraa]

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...
