Since I met Starsmith, my producer, I really feel like Im making music because we write it together and produce it together. Ive got a proper involvement in the end product as opposed to just writing a song and finding someone else to produce it. – Ellie Goulding
I feel like I write songs for the future or something. Not in an arrogant way, but I feel like maybe my songs were, like, before their time or something. – Ellie Goulding
Id call what I do pop music, but its folky and electronic and it doesnt really sound like much else. – Ellie Goulding
I maintain that when I finally retire from my career in music, I will go and live back in Wales – when I am an old person, if I live to be an old person. The water I miss, and the air, theres something different about it. And I miss the simple life. – Ellie Goulding
There’s something like a line of gold thread running through a man’s words when he talks to his daughter, and gradually over the years it gets to be long enough for you to pick up in your hands and weave into a cloth that feels like love itself. – John Gregory Brown, Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery, 1994
