Known for her soulful heartfelt singing, positive lyrics, beautiful personality and infectious smile Ellen is inspired by Lauryn Hill, Sara Bareilles, Adele, Norah Jones, Corinne Bailey Rae & Stevie Wonder but maintains her own "quirky" musical identity.
Though she has been a musician since the age of 12—playing in church and the occasional gigs—Ellen has finally decided to pursue a career in music. “It describes who I am,” she says describing the meaning behind her stage name. “I feel like I’ve been doing other stuff but I’ve always come back to music because this is really what I want to do.” True to her word, Ellen spends the majority of her time writing, recording and teaching music.
Currently in the process of recording her as yet untitled debut EP, Ellen has received critical acclaim for the few songs she has leaked online. The fun but socially aware “Plastic Land” (Save Me) and “Spreading the Love”—the latter of which she will be shooting a video for—are just two examples of what Ellen has in store.
Ironically, Ellen’s fan base has grown exponentially thanks to tech bloggers. Her husband, full time supporter and part time producer Andre, introduced Ellen to the iPad in an attempt to convince her that his gadget addiction was actually useful. Over the Christmas break the couple used a few iPad apps (Pianist Pro, Nano Studio and Bebot) and an iPhone 4 to shoot and edit her first video. The experiment quickly went viral, garnering over 20,000 views on YouTube. The video featuring Ellen singing covers of “Hey Soul Sister” / “New Soul” was picked up by a number of blogs and lauded as an innovative use of the technology.
Ellen plans on continuing to embrace her newfound blog fame by making more videos. However, traditional music is still her first love. Armed with songwriting ability, a serious passion for music and a dream, Ellen Once Again is a name fans will soon be repeating again and again.
I Do
Ellen Once Again Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I would hear you say
In a heartfelt way
From the first time I saw you I knew
That I'd buy a ring with you
and I love you too
I want to grow old next to you
I'll run away with you
And through thick and thin I got you
I think I'll marry you
I do
Loving you's easy as summer days
You took my clouds away
There'll be no more lonely days
Ten years from now we'll do it again
The wedding bells will ring
And the birds will sing
I want to grow old next to you
And if you want me to
I'll run away with you
And through thick and thin I got you
I think I'll marry you
I do
La la la la la
La la la la la
I promise you I'll always be true...
I do
I want to grow old next to you
And if you want me to
I'll run away with you
And through thick and thin I got you
I think I'll marry you
I do
I think I'll marry you
I do
The song "I Do" by Ellen Once Again is a love song that expresses the desire to spend a lifetime with someone. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been waiting for this moment for a long time and knew that it would happen today, and she will finally hear her lover saying "I Love you" from the depth of his heart. The lyrics are heartfelt and the singer seems to be genuinely in love with the person she is addressing. The second verse pledges to be there with the person for the long haul, through thick and thin, and to marry them. The song talks about the ease with which love can be found when you're with the right person and how that person can take away all the loneliness.
The chorus is the main part of the song and is repeated several times. The singer expresses her desire to grow old with her lover and run away with them if they ask her to. The final lines of the chorus have the singer saying "I do" repeatedly, symbolising her commitment to the relationship.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of love and commitment. The lyrics have a positive and uplifting tone, and the melody is catchy and easy to sing along with.
