July 10, 201212 yr I like it a lot actually, very fresh sounding! I agree that it could do without Tinie's rap, I think it's the expletive he uses which sounds more like it's thrown in for shock value and just sounds crass on a track by someone as classy as Ellie. :(
July 10, 201212 yr oh it turns out I was listening to the first link and not the second :lol: the other cover is good, but nowhere near as good. I agree that Tinie's verse ruins it completely.
July 11, 201212 yr Obviously I love this. She could sing the alphabet to me and I'd love it. Not keen on the Tinie rap though :( Pretty song nonetheless, I like the original anyways, beautiful song. The second album cannot come quick enough for me.
July 13, 201212 yr I can't say I was expecting a video for this! I'm assuming it's still a buzz single as it's been given away for free on her soundcloud? I like it and I like the video, but I'm not sure of it as a single.
July 13, 201212 yr I love it. I'm hoping it's not a single purely for the sake that its a cover. Was sort of disappointed when I found on. Having a feeling this is a 'WTWGM', and we'll hear the lead single in a few weeks ala Shake it out.
July 15, 201212 yr I'm really excited about this... "Folkstep" genre she's getting into. But Tinie just doesn't belong on that song. <_<
July 16, 201212 yr Just listening to Hanging on... its ruined by Tinie - but all thats before and all thats after him is brilliant. I do swear and swearing in songs doesn't really bother me; but here it really seems out of place given the tone of the song etc
July 26, 201212 yr Her proper first single seems to be called 'Anything Could Happen' and the lyrics are on her Facebook page as she's giving fans a chance to be part of the lyric video.
July 26, 201212 yr Not too far away now then! :cheer: Here are the lyrics for anyone who wants to over-analyse them! :kink: 'ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN' STRIPPED TO THE WAIST WE FALL INTO THE RIVER COVER YOUR EYES SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE SECRET I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HIDE WE HELD OUR BREATH TO SEE OUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN ON THE WRECK OF '86 THAT WAS THE YEAR I KNEW THE PANIC WAS OVER YES SINCE WE FOUND OUT SINCE WE FOUND OUT THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD AFTER THE WAR WE SAID WE'D FIGHT TOGETHER I GUESS WE THOUGHT THAT'S JUST WHAT HUMANS DO LETTING DARKNESS GROW AS IF WE NEED ITS PALETTE AND WE NEED ITS COLOUR BUT NOW I'VE SEEN IT THROUGH AND NOW I KNOW THE TRUTH THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD BABY, I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED, OH I'LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU STRIPPED TO THE WAIST WE FALL INTO THE RIVER COVER YOUR EYES SO YOU DON'T KNOW THE SECRET I'VE BEEN TRYING TO HIDE WE HELD OUR BREATH TO SEE OUR NAMES ARE WRITTEN ON THE WRECK OF '86 THAT WAS THE YEAR I KNEW THE PANIC WAS OVER YES SINCE WE FOUND OUT SINCE WE FOUND OUT THAT ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN ANYTHING COULD I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE I KNOW IT'S GONNA BE BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU BUT I DON'T THINK I NEED YOU
July 26, 201212 yr Author Aaaaaaah so much repetition. I wonder will all that repetition be accompanied by a Calvin breakdown. Very excited for this I guess. Mildly apprehensive but it really should be good. If it's premiering soon though, what are we looking at for the official release? I'd guess late September/early October? I could deal with that. Not quite late enough to get lost in the Christmas rush but late enough that it might get a good Christmas sales boost. Edited July 26, 201212 yr by Umi
July 26, 201212 yr I'd say Anything can happen will be released first week of September, second single October/ November. I think it will be in the same vein as Hanging On, maybe even little dreams for some reason. Calvin has already confirmed that their collaboration is on his album, not hers.
July 26, 201212 yr I quite like the look of those lyrics, it is very repetitive but then so was "Starry Eyed. I'm looking forward to new music from her!
July 26, 201212 yr Author Calvin has already confirmed that their collaboration is on his album, not hers. Ooh, thanks for saying that, I had no idea. Well I'm now more excited for this musically if slightly less optimistic about it commercially. If this isn't Calvin then I'm very interested to see who it is.
July 26, 201212 yr I think Ellie will have another good era. Hopefully she can clear 60k in her first week, but with the way album sales are atm she could get another number one with 16k.
July 28, 201212 yr http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7v2yuYZTW1qce4x4o1_500.jpg Do you guys know if THIS is legit? :blink:
July 29, 201212 yr http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7v2yuYZTW1qce4x4o1_500.jpg Do you guys know if THIS is legit? :blink: It's listed as that on amazon. Release date October 8th. Apparently 'Anything could Happen' is dancey song with a wordless chorus. I hope not.
July 29, 201212 yr Author Apparently 'Anything could Happen' is dancey song with a wordless chorus. I hope not. That sounds like it could be a rumour that someone made up when they thought it was a Calvin song - where did you read it? Awful cover. :( I like the title but as someone who enjoyed the artwork for every edition of Lights (yes, really), that's very disappointing.
