ELLIE GOULDING - ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN
Stripped To The Waist
We Fall Into The River
Cover Your Eyes
So You Don't Know The Secret
I've Been Trying To Hide
We Held Our Breath
To See Our Names Are Written
On The Wreck Of '86
That Was The Year
I Knew The Panic Was Over
Yes Since We Found Out
Since We Found Out
That Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could
After The War We Said We'd Fight Together
I Guess We Thought Thats Just What Humans Do
Letting Darkness Grow
As If We Need It's Pallette And We Need It's Colour
But Now I've Seen It Through
And Now I Know The Truth
That Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could
Baby, I'll Give You Everything You Need
I'll Give You Everything You Need, Oh
I'll Give You Everything You Need
But I Don't Think I Need You
Stripped To The Waist
We Fall Into The River
Cover Your Eyes
So You Don't Know The Secret
I've Been Trying To Hide
We Held Our Breath
To See Our Names Are Written
On The Wreck Of '86
That Was The Year
I Knew The Panic Was Over
Yes Since We Found Out
Since We Found Out
That Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could Happen
Anything Could
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
I Know It's Gonna Be
But I Don't Think I Need You
But I Don't Think I Need You
But I Don't Think I Need You
SONG FACTS

The First Single From "Halcyon" Took A Lot Of Work Before Goulding Was Satisfied It Was Ready.

The "Halcyon" Album Title Refers To A Mythical Bird In Ancient Times, Which Was Said To Remain Tranquil During Hatching And Was Able To Calm The Wind And Seas. Said Goulding To Carson Daily: "It's Like A Bird That Basically During The Winter, It Would Lay Its Eggs By The Sea And Bring Calm To The Stormy Waters, And A Lot Of My Songs On This Record Are About The Ocean And Water."
Goulding Can Be Seen Performing The Song In A Beats By Dre Commercial, Which Debuted In September 2012 As Part Of Their #Showyourcolor Campaign. The Ad Also Features A Number Of Other Celebrities, Including Miami Heat Player Lebron James And Rapper Lil Wayne.
The Song Features Backing Vocals From The London Community Gospel Choir.
The Song's Music Video Was Filmed On August 7, 2012 In Malibu, California And The Storyline Revolves Around A Couple's Car Crash Near A Beach. Goulding Explained To Mtv News The Meaning Of The Apocalyptic Clip. "The Video Is About Myself And I Suppose ... [My] Love Interest, You Might Say, [Or] Soul Mate And We End Up Having An Accident," She Said. "But Did We? There You Go, That's The Thing. We End Up Having A Car Accident Then We End Up Coming Back To Life."
Goulding Penned This Song Having Embarked On A Relationship With Dubstep Producer Skrillex After Breaking Up With Bbc Radio 1 Dj Greg James. She Explained To Cosmopolitan Magazine: "I Wrote 'Anything Can Happen' Because I'd Been In A Relationship With Greg Or Two Years, Who I Absolutely Adored And Still Do. Then That Ended Very Unexpectedly And It Threw Me Off. I Didn't Expect Another Relationship For A Long Time After That. Then All Of A Sudden I Met This Other Person [Skrillex], And It Was Crazy – It Came From Nowhere."
