I only knew I would be the strongest version
Of what I was first given
The strongest dose of the love I was given
Sometimes I had to trample with tears in my eyes
Over the things I knew I couldn't help
Until I was strong enough to carry them with me instead
A route with pain, a route with joy
There should be no delusion of that magnitude
So know the truth
I am not locked in my bones
I've been changed forever
And it makes the love you're given change too
(How deep is too deep?)

Ellie Goulding

Elena Jane “Ellie” Goulding (born 30 December 1986) – is an English singer-songwriter. In 2010, she became the second artist to both top the BBC’s annual Sound of… poll and win the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards in the same year, following Adele’s win of both in 2008. Originally her music incorporated elements of folk, pop, electronica, and folktronica.

In July 2009, Goulding signed with Polydor Records, and released her debut EP An Introduction to Ellie Goulding, later that year. Her debut single, “Under The Sheets” was then released in November.

In 2010 Goulding recorded and released her debut record Lights, which spawned four charting singles in the UK, the biggest of which “Starry Eyes” peaked at #4 in the UK and charted in many European countries and Australia.
