"Music is what feelings sound like." It's with this in mind that artists set out to create the perfect mix of melodies, harmonies, and lyrics to tell a story that transcends all boundaries and touches the deepest part of human emotion. Each person, though, takes these stories, and the feelings associated with it, and molds it into their own being based on their personal experience. With that in mind, here's my interpretations of what the music means to me.

Ellie Goulding - I Know You Care
Ellie Goulding has just recently come on the scene here in
America but I’ve known about her for quite sometime now. I remember hearing her
songs “Starry Eyed” and “Lights”, long before the rest of the US caught
on, and being intrigued by her sound and unique voice … I came across this song
while on YouTube (it was on the sidebar) and decided to give it a listen. Half
way into the song I was in love with it. This type of track doesn’t have any
eccentrics or special features to it but that’s what makes it so good. It’s
simple but beautiful. The melody from the keys is heartbreaking but Ellie’s
bright, airy vocals are like fresh snowfall on a house that’s just burned down.
As she sings, “I know you care, I know its always been there. But there’s trouble
ahead…” she’s still somehow able to give the song beauty amongst the tragedy… I
took a listen to the rest of her album Halcyon (which this song is on) and
overall it’s a great compilation of work. This song is definitely one of my
favorites (if not my favorite) from it. But go ahead and take a listen for yourself below. - the video is pretty cool to -
You can purchase the song here. And be sure to check out Ellie on Facebook and Twitter!
