Listen to her words.

it's soooo coool! she writes the best lyrics in our time!
In the last album she told how she fell in love in a way so fresh and peotic that makes the heart tremble.
And then this time, Halcyon is about the losing of that love, and her struggling to recover from it. She portays her heartbreak beautifully like a tragic epic, like a myth of becoming, like a religious salvation that it touches the deepest chord of humanity. Yet she promises hopes and smiles at the same time by using those repetitive refrain like "it's gonna be better", it's a hypnotic lullaby to the wounded soul, it's an unconscious humming of consolation in the trance of sorrow --simple, real and emotional at the same time.
Ellie Goulding has a vision and the ability to bring it to us by fusing her peotic words into her most contagious melodies.
