HIT OR MISS : POWER BY ELLIE GOULDING

 POWER by Ellie Goulding

Released: May 22nd 2020 

Ellie has given fans another songfrom her upcoming fourth studio album. Following trap-pop number 'Worry About Me', featuring blackbear

Ellie described the new single as

 "Power' is about relationships in the 21st Century, how they can now be dictated by social media, superficiality and material things.

Dating can sometimes start out with lies or embellishments.

The girl in the song is disillusioned by love and the cruel, good looking, self-obsessed people she keeps ending up with."

LYRICS 

[Verse 1]

Painted to pure perfection

We had a real connection

Bodies, aching, overtaken

You kept me at a distance

Not asking any questions

Fingers, pressing, learning, lessons

[Chorus]

Beautiful lies on a Friday night

Starting to wonder where we lost the magic

Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static

I’m not a material girl

Everything in your world just feels like plastic

Wearing your crown, it’s pulling me down

You just want the power

You’re not really down for love

You just want the power

(The power)

[Verse 2]

No I’m not chasing paper and I’m not faking neither

Take me higher or this will expire

Your self obsessions boring, sorry if I’m ignoring

Mindless actions, lead to destruction

[Chorus]

Beautiful lies on a Friday night

Starting to wonder where we lost the magic

Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static

I’m not a material girl

Everything in your world just feels like plastic

Wearing your crown, it’s pulling me down

You just want the power

You’re not really down for love

You just want the power

(The power)

[Bridge]

Everything you do is so cruel (Power)

Taking me for a fool (Power)

Making me need a new fix

Making me worship you

Everything you do is so cruel (Power)

Taking me for a fool (Power)

Making me need a new fix

Making me worship you

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

Beautiful lies on a Friday night

Starting to wonder where we lost the magic

Head in the clouds, talking so loud, all I hear is static

I’m not a material girl

Everything in your world just feels like plastic

Wearing your crown, it’s pulling me down

You just want the power

You’re not really down for love

You just want the power

(The power)

This track is a definite HIT and can't wait for Ellie's new LP.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: BOOK

VERITY (CURSED # 1) By Claire Farrell

Genre: Fantasy 

Published: April 25, 2011

Words: 62,400

ISBN: 9781458130372

Perdy's ready to shrug off her sheltered life. When the boy of her dreams (literally) appears, she's ready for change, but she's kind of distracted by the sense she's being followed and the wild animal sightings in her neighbourhood. She's on a mission to find the truth, but sometimes it doesn't set you free... sometimes the truth is what traps you. 

Culled from smashsword

The book paints the trials and tribulations of being a normal teen, but Perdy is far from normal, being the center of a curse and fated to be a werewolf mate throws all manner of complications. The book looks a little farfetched for an ordinary reader but will definitely resonate well with avid fans of fantasy.

Record label Interscope Records has released a posthumous single from deceased rap artist and singer Juice WRLD who died of an accidental overdose in 2019 at the age of 21. This is the second single released after his death. 

LYRICS 

Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon' be okay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me and you gon' stay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, won't go nowhere 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me 

Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon' be okay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me and you gon' stay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, won't go nowhere 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me 

Verse

Bitch, I'm a druggie (Bitch I'm a druggie), so can you hide my drugs from me? 

And when I get lonely (When I get lonely), can you be my company? 

Drugs to the brain, swervin' inside of a Benz truck 

I cannot stay in my lane, um, yes, I got you in my brain, duh (Duh) 

Um, you can't hide, you can't run (You can't run), um, we're forever in love (In love)

Um, if you leave there'd be torment, torment, torment, torment 

Don't run from me (Don't run from me), you can't have it any other way 

It's me or no one (Me or no one) 

If you leave, I'll take your life away like you were no one (You were no one) 

So tell me you love me (Tell me you love me), tell me you love me 

Tell me it'll be okay (Tell me it'll be okay, tell me it'll be okay, tell me it'll be okay, tell me it'll be okay) 

Chorus 

Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon' be okay

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me and you gon' stay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, won't go nowhere 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me 

Verse 

Heart on my sleeve, ball with it like a throwback 

Mind in the clouds, I will never ever come back home 

You fightin' through a text, using all caps 

Fuck this, screw that, you saying to see you back home 

Well baby girl, I don't want to do that 

It's true that you the only home I know 

Without you, all it ever does is snow 

My voice too deep for a average ho 

Babe, welcome to my world, dark and confusin' 

Get lost in it often, the same way I'm lost in you 

And it's often my mind that I'm losin' 

See half of it stuck in a pill bottle, high and confused 

Don't even know what the fuck I be doin' 

Pray everyday that I'm far from a nuisance 

Tryna figure out how to live with the blueprints

To give you the heart out my chest 'cause I know that it's true (I know that it's true) 

Bridge

I know that it's true (I know that it's true), I know that (I know that) 

To give you the heart out my chest because I know that it's true (I know that it's true, I know that it's true) 

So tell me you love me (Tell me you love me), tell me you love me (Tell me you love me) 

Tell me you love me (Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, tell me you love me) 

Chorus: 

Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon' be okay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me and you gon' stay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, won't go nowhere 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me 

Tell me you love me, tell me everything gon' be okay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me and you gon' stay 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me, won't go nowhere 

Tell me you love me, tell me you love me 

This song is a plea to a love one to promise to love him despite his shortcomings of being a druggie 

VERDICT: HIT.  Apart from  couple of redundant bars, this song is a definite vibe
