Song Choice: Ellie Goulding - Your Song

Video:

Lyrics:

It's a little bit funny, this feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money, but boy if I did

I'd by a big house where we both could live

So excuse me forgetting, but these things I do

See I've forgotten of they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It may be quite simple, but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world

If I was a sculptor, but then again no

Or a girl who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much, but its the best I can do

My gift is my song, and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song

It many be quite simple, but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind that I put down in words

How wonderful life is now you're in the world.

Reason For Choice:

      Ellie Goulding is quite a recent artist compared with other artists around at the moment. She has a very unique style, unlike other more 'rocky' artists who can sound very similar (muse, the killers, foo fighters etc..) Ellie has her own style and you will see what I mean if you listen through her album 'Bright Lights'. Even songs that she has made covers of she has made her own, like the one I have chosen, originally written by Elton John.
      Ellie is one of my favourite artists that I can just sit and listen to, 'Your Song' being one of her best songs in my opinion, and for that reason I would like to make my own video for it. I feel that if I choose a song that I really like to listen to, it will be easier to think about the feel I want to give in the video, and so it should make it easier to plan the shots I want to include and the locations I want to include in the video.
