ItвЂ™s telling that this person is described as an вЂњanimal.вЂќ He is protective, but he is also threatening, predatory. You hold me in the dark when storms arrive, only you My enemy, the only animal I couldnвЂ™t fight What exactly is this beastвЂ™s role? WhatвЂ™s to be done about him? She spends ten songs exploring the question.Д®llie GouldingвЂ™s вЂњOnly YouвЂќ is musically one of the less interesting songs on Halcyon, but its lyrics are, as always with this album, powerful. Marling sings alternately playfully, angrily and bravely about this beast.

MarlingвЂ™s album centers on the titular вЂњcreature,вЂќ a metaphorical beast that is provoked by, or perhaps just is, a certain old flame (maybe itвЂ™s Marcus Mumford, maybe it isnвЂ™t). ItвЂ™s hard not to think that Halcyon and 2011вЂ™s A Creature I DonвЂ™t Know, Laura MarlingвЂ™s third studio album, are each about one subject, one frustrating, all-consuming muse. They are studious about love, immersing themselves in it. Goulding and Marling have a lot in common aside from their British roots: they are both happy to thrash about in excruciating pain over love lost, love unrequited, love in limbo. Goulding is an incredibly sharp lyricist: wise, observant and evocative beyond her 26 years, but then lyrical precocity means nothing with people like 22-year-old Laura Marling in the world. It turns out that while I was busy spending 2012 listening to Grimes and Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan bootlegs, Ellie Goulding put out her second album, Halcyon, and it is spectacular. Is she not perfect-looking enough? Is her voice not powerful enough? ItвЂ™s possible that her music, which has always leaned heavily toward electronica, needed people like Robyn, Skrillex and Grimes to pave the way for her galactic pop. I knew from my days as a music critic and blogger that Ellie Goulding had been struggling to break through on an international scale for a few years, and IвЂ™ve long wondered why. I wondered what was going on with Ellie Goulding, whether she was succeeding, since in my old age - I began my writing career as a music critic - I am more interested in living vicariously through musiciansвЂ™ careers than in judging the merits of their work. Who could mistake that airy, impossibly high falsetto, that ridiculous flexibility that sounds like some kind of human autotuner, even in a live setting, accompanied only by a guitar?

I knew I had heard the song before - it was featured in the trailer for season two of Girls - and though I have paid little attention to contemporary music in the past year, I had an inkling the artist was Ellie Goulding. While watching a football game extremely hung over last weekend, I heard Ellie GouldingвЂ™s song вЂњAnything Could HappenвЂќ playing during one of the nine million interludes between car commercials and actual football.

'Explosions' is a song by English recording artist Ellie Goulding from her second studio album, Halcyon (2012). So watch them fall with you, in slow motion Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces The nights you could cope, your intentions were goldД¬ause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning The rules you set are still untold to me and I lost my faith in everything I remind you of the days you poured your heart into You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I lack the things you need the most, you said where have you been
