“When I'm writing obviously I have all the nostalgia in the world, I have all the emotion in the world, but then when I actually perform, I need to just perform it, and that's it. I do retain like a little bit of it because I have to, I sing and perform the songs so I have to - it's a performance of the songs - but I just have to get the right balance.” WorldNeedsWritingLittlesSongBitsEmotionBalanceLittle BitPerformancesNostalgia Author:Ellie Goulding
