Ellie GouldingI'm obsessed with the countryside: woods, forests, fields, lakes, mountains. I'm really into folk music and folklore. But more so I'm into electronic music. I'm into bands that have both aspects, like Boards of Canada is a perfect example. You could listen to that type of music running through a woods. It's kind of what I wanted to achieve.

I read lots of poetry, I read Patti Smith's autobiography and started words and phrases and then songs started to take shape.
