Pop star Ellie Goulding's latest single Like a Saviour features a lot of biblical imagery. Here writer Kate Orson asks if she's converted to Christianity.
Ellie Goulding’s latest song Like a Saviour sounds like it could be a testimony of finding Jesus. She was lost in the dark with a metal heart, struggling with self-esteem, and with her "shadow" when her saviour leads her out of the darkness and into a new life. He shows her visions and she feels amazing. Her focus is no longer on herself, but her rescuer.
Of course, this is pop music. It’s not Jesus she’s singing about but romantic love. "Why are all the pop songs about love?" I remember a friend asking me when we were young tweens listening to all the latest pop music. I had no idea, it’s just the way things were and still are. Ever since we listened to fairy stories about princesses finding their princes, it’s been all about love.
