Ellie Goulding channels the lady in red but in, like, a good way in her new obscure visual and aural masterpiece for her hit track, "Figure 8," the second single from British singer's sophomore album, "Halcyon," which is a personal tale of a relationship ending and wanting to hold on to what once was. Sometimes life can imitate art and art can imitate life, but in Goulding's case, it may be a little bit of both. With Goulding just splitting from EDM DJ Skrillex, one could maybe guess what this song was inspired by, and the new surreal Clip seems to be art imitating life.
Built around piano and electronics, the dark and brooding "Figure 8," has a moody vibe that matches its heartbreaking lyrics. The song helps her maintain this authority quickly after on the galloping bruises of "Figure 8," a defensive track that finds her reasoning with her scorched paths, as Goulding sings about a love that didn't live up to its promise of infinity - the titular "8," turned on its side. "Figure 8" continues to explore her ascent into womanhood, centering around her experience of being left heartbroken by a former love over a buzzing dubstep bassline that vibrates with a gentle nod to the album's namesake.
Mourning the loss of her lover, Goulding fights to recapture the heart of her beau, whose resistance is killing her softly. Feeling like there's no reason to live anymore, Goulding's life as she knows it ceases to exist. Do your best to follow the 25-year-old British elecra-pop sweetheart as she navigates the infinite cycle of obsessive love, all to the backing tune of her slick, signature warped beats and distorted vocals. The result will leave you breathless!
The moving clip seems to capture the emotional lyrics perfectly, and really makes the story of "Figure 8" come to life. In the kinda creepy clip, Goulding is practically a ghost in the house she used to share with her man and time marches backward in various stages as she looking anguished and remembers some of the good and bad times. She's hopelessly distraught over a recent lover. Whatever the case, the "Halycon" cut properly soundtracks her tossing and turning and depression. We're totally left wondering how true-to-life this clip really is.
