The new album ‘Higher Than Heaven’ – order now: http://elliegoulding.lnk.to/HTHID
Ellie Goulding - Slow Grenade. An exclusive live performance for Vevo.
You could spot it from the get-go. Listening to Ellie Goulding's 2010 debut 'Lights,' and watching her move through initial vids such as "Guns and Horses" and "Starry Eyed," it was obvious that the UK singer was going to connect deeply with fans around the world. The fact that 'Lights' clocked in at the top of the UK pop charts was proof that listeners found it irresistible. Ellie's success has unfolded wonderfully, of course, and after a decade of hits - including "Love Me Like You Do," "Anything Could Happen," "I Need Your Love" and more - she has just released the album she calls "closest to my heart." 'Brightest Blue' is divided into two sections, the title suite, which she says has "a sense of accepting fate, and therefore feeling better for it and not worrying about the future," and the EG.o section, which presents an "alter ego" who takes on the world and has "no fear whatsoever." Our Original Live Performances of the new songs are splendid looks into to Ellie's current world. "New Heights" and "Brightest Blue" were shot with the remarkable XR “mixed reality” technology, which seamlessly mixes actual camera footage with CGI content in real time. The visuals are remarkable. Check out her new record, share our performances and see where Ellie's at right now.

Lyrics
Help me, my God this got messy Least I got the best seat, ‘cos we put on one hell of a show Waiting, I just keep on waiting For the final curtain, ‘cos I just can’t let go of your love
Oooh You say name like you know my dark side ooh Can’t beat the taste of the tears that I’ll cry ooh
Slow grenade it’s blowing up my mistakes So why don’t I, why don’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me is must want it That’s why I’m not running from it Can’t escape this blowing up In my face so why can’t I Why can’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me must love it That’s why I’m not running from it
Crazy, late nights in the city Drink until you hate me Then say that I should just let you go But hold on, why do we still hold on? Think that we should move on But we’re too scared of being alone
Oooh You say name like you know my dark side ooh Can’t beat the taste of the tears that I’ll cry ooh
Slow grenade it’s blowing up my mistakes So why don’t I, why don’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me is must want it That’s why I’m not running from it Can’t escape this blowing up In my face so why can’t I Why can’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me must love it That’s why I’m not running from it (Oooh)
Why can’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me must love it That’s why I’m not running from it
Help me, my God this got messy Least I got the best seat ‘cos we put on one hell of a show
Slow grenade it’s blowing up my mistakes So why don’t I, why don’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me is must want it That’s why I’m not running from it Can’t escape this blowing up In my face, so why can’t I Why can’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me must love it That’s why I’m not running from it (Oooh)
Why can’t I stop it? Still got time for me to stop it It’s like a part of me must love it That’s why I’m not running from it
