Was just randomly wondering if she ever did an acoustic of this and now i'm here for the first time. I actually f ound Boyce Avenue's cover before this one lol
She has a very unique and gifted voice, the only singer I can say she reminds me a bit of sometimes is kate bush, listen to wuthering heights and you'll see what I mean.
Her voice is different, unique. Some people love listening to replicas and hate on people who are something out of this world. She's something to cherish. You don't find this voice too often.
you weren't expecting much because you already knew she wasn't born with a gifted voice. However, she pulled off a few tricks and gave a decent performance.
@@NFtheend and you're a fucking robot. you're literally saying "she pulled off a few tricks", about a fellow human being, as if she's a fucking circus monkey. Try being showing half as much humanity as her -- not to mention in front of millions of people, as she does -- and then come back to share what you learned about life and huamnity.
She has some of the most accurate tone control of any singer I've ever heard and her ability to pull out that falsetto at any moment is pretty spectacular
Oh my gosh LOL Sorry but I can't help but laugh how dramatic that piano guy in the back was when he rose his head up LOL it was hilarious how he was like staring like that at 0:14
Josh Gates haha no problem~~ thank _you_ for replying. now it showed this video in my notifications and i got to laugh at it again lol its funny especially looking at how ellie's exrpession was like after looking at that piano man. keeping a straight expression.
GoldenCH I actually think he really has a reason to stare dramatacly: The moderator says she can start at any time and right in that moment the pianist(?), piano guy, just starts and she is liek: what? duude..ok, I start
At first i was like..."Why is she struggling, her voice is weak, and not that "made for radio stuff" i've been hearing. Then i kept watching and fell in love with her voice. So much respect!
she could still be using it, you can autotune live vocals escpecially on radio, i dnt think she is cos she missed a note at 2,53. with that still incredible.
I love the real authentic reaction of her, when she realized, that she nailed it and she did indeed. Just a very talented musician, that performed very well and is proud of it. No fake feelings.
Not many artists can make their songs sound as good live as the studio version Ps .... hello to all the people who wrote comments 9 years ago...... hope you are all still around to enjoy this amazing song
I must confess: I fell madly in love with this artist, this song and this version. Certainly, I feel it is the most perfect triology in the history of Western music. Without euphemisms: it is simply perfect.
I remember... I was going somewhere one day and I turned on my radio and she was singing this. I had to stop everything and just close my eyes and listen to this. I'm surprised I'm just now finding this video, but I've been a true fan ever since I first heard her sing this.
It's great how her voice sounds without the auto-tune they added for the radio release of this song. I wish more artists sing acoustic so they can showcase their real voice without studio sound effects.
I always felt really stupid and self conscious whenever I record my vocals in front of people because I do the Christina Aguilera hand thing, but I feel so much better seeing how she also uses it to stay in control of a lot of pitch changes. She's so amazing, and I feel I learned so much just watching her sing
Omg😮…ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call letting go and letting God come through you, letting your body perform the purest form of music, just pure as the driven snow…incredible, not even my type of music but this leaves me incredulous!
Wow, she puts in so much effort into this song. I love her songs and i think this acoustic/piano sounds so soothing. I cant get enough of this version. Beautiful woman.
When i need to see some real talent again and take a break from what we call "talented" these days this is always a go to vid ..love her ... Lesson be learned by all THIS IS TALENT 😘
This is one of my favorite acoustic tracks of all time. I'm truly impressed by her singing talent. Thank you Ellie for bringing some beauty to my life.
this young lady has an Axecellent way of presenting a song. wunderful control. in a wierd, but kool way has a sort of innocense and honesty about the way she sings.
Wow this is really good. Just does a lot more harmony to stay away from a lot of the high points, which is understanding for a live version, but still has tons of technically challenging vocal runs, falsettos, and other stuff. Love her tone, great performance. 👏
I had a way then losing it all on my own I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone home Voices I play within my head Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept In an unknown place the only time I feel safe You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone And so I tell myself that I'll be strong And dreaming when they're gone 'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home Calling, calling, calling home You show the lights that stop me turn to stone You shine it when I'm alone home Yeah, hee
Am I the only one who needs to come back here and listen to this? I don't even call it a guilty pleasure anymore, because IT IS a delicious pleasure
Me too x
Was just randomly wondering if she ever did an acoustic of this and now i'm here for the first time. I actually f ound Boyce Avenue's cover before this one lol
haha yes
Not at all.
Noo mee too!
Never heard a voice like hers. I really like it, and its always great to hear something unique.
Yeah it's crazy there is something i can't explain.
The difference is the pitches and notes. In the studio she sang more up note, in the acoustic she sang downwards. Thats probably what people meant
Kesha voice is also Unique and Selna Gomez voice and Ellie Voice
She sounds the same as Lena Meyer-Landrut, winner from German Eurovision Songcontest 2010
April Dine little bit differents yes, i agree with u, but ellie is better, not thag Sattelite were bad
She's got a really unique and fabulous voice!
Yayyy😘
i agree sooo much with you
Her voice is magical
She has a very fast vibrato in her voice. Very few people can do that. She makes it sound amazing.
Banks can do it, too :)
@@abeltesfaye_ 7 years late
flamenco singers all can do that
@@celiaguillen7338 Their music suck tho
@@a_b_c lol
Is it just me or does her singing make her 100.000.00 times hotter, my god shes incredible.
First Person Troller strdthffdvhS
She hot as 💩 for real
Truth.
She has a very unique and gifted voice, the only singer I can say she reminds me a bit of sometimes is kate bush, listen to wuthering heights and you'll see what I mean.
alright settle down guy lol
Her transitions from chest voice to head voice/falsetto is so smooth omg
It's a thin weak voice with no power. You don't need a chest voice to sing like that.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78why are u replying to a 7yo comment to hate on Ellie Goulding 💀💀
@@jorb1903 Why are you asking stupid questions ?
@@jorb1903have the self awareness to know you just cooked yourself 😂😂😂
To the people saying she's singing out of tune, she's actually singing in a minor key instead of a major and it's actually a really beautiful flair
People are too accustomed to autotune. Rather have the real s**t.
Hey. 2024 is calling. You’re an absolute idiot.
Not good she is all messed up she lost her touch it's all over another Cindy lopper we don't need the fruity stuff
Its perfect
You're right. Unfortunately, most people are stupid musically and have know clue when someone as talented as Ellie are singing..
Her voice is different, unique. Some people love listening to replicas and hate on people who are something out of this world. She's something to cherish. You don't find this voice too often.
Happy birthday Ellie!
such vocal control
The most unique voice of this generation
Mark V. You're hilarious
Mark V. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Agreed, not many singers can come in and out of falsetto like that 💀🔥
I must admit I wasn't expecting much and she blew me away.
she was aaaa maaa zinnng
you weren't expecting much because you already knew she wasn't born with a gifted voice. However, she pulled off a few tricks and gave a decent performance.
Exactly my thoughts.
Same actually

Just love her voice, the way she sings is so magical. She is a better singer than other ones that are out there using auto tune.
Like this accoustic version the best of all that i've heard so far
I love the rasp in her voice.
Yes
Especially her accent in her singing. She's angelic. I recommend going to see her live. She's memorizing.
I intend on doing so.
Her voice is perfect, that's it, she really has a gift, it's so unique and beautiful.
Linda musica
She makes you feel it when she sings. I love it.
This song is so hard to sing she has a gift !
+UK GAMER yup and when you listen to others people sings ( cover ) they are way worse...
+UK GAMER i actually found it really easy to sing :D
+UK GAMER look at the voice kids germany. selin sang this song and she is definately better than ellie goulding
+Çelikhan Baylan ahahahahahah and 3 million of ahahahaha! You dont definately know what a voice and its control is
Selin from The voice kidz( Germany) sang way better than her, and she did it live as well.
I love her voice it's so unique
She has some of the most accurate tone control of any singer I've ever heard and her ability to pull out that falsetto at any moment is pretty spectacular
Deberías escuchar a vitas
Thank you for sharing your Voice with us.. I love you..
That's true. I love her too
Oh my gosh LOL Sorry but I can't help but laugh how dramatic that piano guy in the back was when he rose his head up
LOL it was hilarious how he was like staring like that at 0:14
omg! I just went back to check and COMPLETELY lost it! hahaha! Thanks for pointing that out!
Josh Gates haha no problem~~ thank _you_ for replying. now it showed this video in my notifications
and i got to laugh at it again lol
its funny especially looking at how ellie's exrpession was like after looking at that piano man. keeping a straight expression.
LOL didn't notice that!
hahaha I saw him staring but I didn't catch the way he rose his head up

Such a unique voice! Definitely a 1 of a kind artist! She killed it at Lollapallooza 2016! Everyone sang along to every song!
one word; GOOSEBUMPS
I had forgotten about this version. Still holds up in 2020. :)
Still in 2022!
@@cimissu Still in 2023.
2023
Yeah!
So rare to see singers actually not use autotune, good singing! these are the real singers everyone ;) so good
she could still be using it, you can autotune live vocals escpecially on radio, i dnt think she is cos she missed a note at 2,53. with that still incredible.
I LOVE HER!!! Not only the singing, everything! L-O-V-E!!
+platovaya Ha, GAAAAYY!
+platovaya Same! She has the best voice and her hair is so pretty. She's great!
+Constellation Cygnus Thank you, CC! How did you know?
her falsetto is so good.
I dont get it. I dont think those are good falsettos.
+Aki Pamatian Her voice actually seems pretty weak. I love the song, but it's not a great example of a powerful, mature voice.
+Liam Hughes She sounds like she has a sore throat. It seems pretty hoarse.
+Liam Hughes uuuuh, why everybody loves powerful voices. A smooth or a soft voice can sound better than a diva voice, just sayin'
+Clyde Flyer I agree I think Ellie's voice is much more pleasant than Ariana Grande's or Katy Perry's etc.
I love the real authentic reaction of her, when she realized, that she nailed it and she did indeed. Just a very talented musician, that performed very well and is proud of it. No fake feelings.
Ellie Goulding's voice and the style of how she sings is just so unique and unlike a lot of artist's. Absolutely one of my favorite singers.
Not many artists can make their songs sound as good live as the studio version
Ps .... hello to all the people who wrote comments 9 years ago...... hope you are all still around to enjoy this amazing song
Shes literally the best female vocalist I've ever heard..
We Adore You.
:3
By far one of the best live singers of this decade
Her voice is so unique, I thought she used some sort of effect in the studio but it sounds exactly the same!
I must confess: I fell madly in love with this artist, this song and this version. Certainly, I feel it is the most perfect triology in the history of Western music. Without euphemisms: it is simply perfect.
One of the best voices in my opinion...beautiful tone!
You need to study music history.
She sounds WAY better live unlike many other musicians.
I personalty like this version better than the radio version.
Puts me at peace.
I fall in love everything she sings, unique musician.
Ellie, a world treasure, may she reign forever.
That's what you call a real artist. They sound the SAME live as they do in the studio! Love her voice!
She is so incredible, love her voice!
lol that was such a derp laugh 0:10
LOOOL
Omg songs won't get any better than this in 1000 years 💙💙 I'm coming to meet you Ellie 👍
Ellie's laugh
I love you Ellie! Your voice is just so smooth and soft and unique! You are perfect! ♥
awesome.... in and out of falsetto....loved it
Ellie is one of the best vocalists ever honestly. The control she has on her voice is incredible
I remember... I was going somewhere one day and I turned on my radio and she was singing this. I had to stop everything and just close my eyes and listen to this. I'm surprised I'm just now finding this video, but I've been a true fan ever since I first heard her sing this.
She can sing. ,,,,,what a voice ,total respect. Puts many of today's singers to shame ,,,,,her control of the song was amazing
I love her, such an amazing artist... So cute!
beauty and talent together, does come very rarely and you are one of the rarest Ellie....love you
this is called talent, haters can suck it
It's great how her voice sounds without the auto-tune they added for the radio release of this song. I wish more artists sing acoustic so they can showcase their real voice without studio sound effects.

She is having fun and is not worried about being watched
Her voice is so awsome i love her voice :)

Wow, she puts in so much effort into this song. I love her songs and i think this acoustic/piano sounds so soothing. I cant get enough of this version. Beautiful woman.
She is so pretty and cute, her voice is so nice to hear!
Love her voice. She seems very sweet too.
She's very unique, which is a very good thing these days.
I love her so much!!she sings so well!!

She's very easy on the ears. I love her. I could cry. Lol
If i had a voice like that i will never stop singing
this version of Lights always caress my heart :) love it
WOW... when you hear songs played pure like this you really appreciate the true genius.. THIS IS AMAZING.
Just wanted to drop a comment on still 10 years later I can appreciate how talented she really is!
her voice is so unique 3
0:14 Is it me or did she turn around to signal "I'm wasn't ready yet!" to the keyboard player. :p
I thought so too
hahaha, i notice it! :p
I think he almost got caught staring at her booty! that's what it was...
at this moment they where friends for some years 'cause he's in her band, so I guess she doesn't even matter. ^^
She was signaling that she was ready she even nods
Such a beautiful artist. Ellie Goulding shows an unique way to express feelings. LOve ya!
she is gorgeous I really love her
Great Vocals great job from the elf community

This woman is fucking WORKING.
Straight overtime. I think of this exact video when I see anything to do with Elli Golding.
Wow I butchered her name, Ellie Goulding.
Very unique. Veryyy GOOD!!!!!!!!!

Her voice is so unique!! I’ve never heard a voice so soothing but also serious.
i generally listen to metal , but this performance was riveting. Well Done, WELL DONE.
same here
Aww. She COMPLETELY morphed the best part. (0:59)
Love her and this tune. All you haters can screw off. Can you do any better ?
I love when she raises her voice and her voice slightly cracks! just astounds me!
Wow this is really good. Just does a lot more harmony to stay away from a lot of the high points, which is understanding for a live version, but still has tons of technically challenging vocal runs, falsettos, and other stuff. Love her tone, great performance. 👏
I had a way then losing it all on my own
I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home
Voices I play within my head
Touch my own skin and hope that I'm still breathing
And I think back to when my brother and my sister slept
In an unknown place the only time I feel safe
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine it when I'm alone home
Yeah, hee
+Mike “coloradoboy” Green It's not a big deal 😄
really? im listening, you can spell for sing along
thank you for the translation service, completely unnecessary because there are lyric videos on UA-cam. please get a hobby
I see all these hate comments yet I don't hear anyone with a voice as unique as her
I will always have the highest respect for acoustic singers. Ellie is the best of the best!
awesome VOICE!!!!
She's got the same voice That on the music vidéo she is AMAZINGGG
Exactly!! No difference to the video now THERE'S a true singer! :)
It's just crazy to me how much control she has over her voice. This performance always leaves me speechless
My favorite Ellie Goulding song and has always been
