ELLIE GOULDING - BEATING HEART
Eyes Make Their Peace In Difficulties
With Wounded Lips And Salted Cheeks
And Finally We Step To Leave
To The Departure Lounge Of Disbelief
And I Don't Know Where I'm Going
But I Know It's Gonna Be A Long Time
And I'll Be Leaving In The Morning
Come The White Wine Bitter Sunlight
Wanna Hear Your Beating Heart Tonight
Before The Bleeding Sun Comes Alive
I Want To Make The Best Of What Is Left, Hold Tight
And Hear My Beating Heart One Last Time
Before Daylight
In The Canyon Underneath The Trees
Behind The Dark Sky, You Looked At Me
I Fell For You Like Autumn Leaves
Never Faded, Evergreen
And I Don't Know Where I'm Going
But I Know It's Gonna Be A Long Time
'Cause I'll Be Leaving In The Morning
Come The White Wine Bitter Sunlight
Wanna Hear Your Beating Heart Tonight
Before The Bleeding Sun Comes Alive
I Want To Make The Best Of What Is Left, Hold Tight
And Hear My Beating Heart One Last Time
I Can't Face This Now Everything Has Changed
I Just Wanna Be By Your Side, Here's Hoping We Collide
Here's Hoping We Collide
Here's Hoping We Collide
Wanna Hear Your Beating Heart Tonight
Before The Bleeding Sun Comes Alive
I Want To Make The Best Of What Is Left, Hold Tight
And Hear My Beating Heart One Last Time
Wanna Hear Your Beating Heart Tonight
SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Ellie Goulding, Joe Janiak
Producer(s): Greg Kurstin
Ellie Goulding Wrote This Song Specifically For The Soundtrack Of The Movie Divergent. Goulding Also Lent Three Of Her Halcyon Tracks To The Film As Well As Providing The "Musical Voice" For The Film's Lead Character, Tris Prior.
Speaking With Entertainment Weekly, Divergent Director Neil Burger Explained Goulding's New Song: "In The Last Scene Of The Movie, Tris Has Just Experienced Multiple Tragedies, Even As She Triumphs (For The Moment) Over Her Enemies," He Said. "Ellie Wrote 'Beating Heart' And We Knew It'd Be Perfect For The End Of The Movie. Her Lyrics Almost Merge With Tris' Voice-Over And Her Music Lets The Movie Soar Above The Tragedy. The Sadness Is Still There But So Is The Transcendence. It's A Fantastic Song."
Goulding Explained The Song's Meaning To Mtv News: "'Beating Heart' Is About Being Away From Someone Or Knowing That You're Always Going To Have To Be Apart From Someone That You Really Love," She Said. "And It's Painful, But It's Hopeful Because There's Always A Chance That They'll Collide Again Like Two People Collide. Like The Universe Will Bring Them Back Together."
