Not sure how a rave on an airplane runway fit the song, but still some cool shots of and definitely some good vibes. Kind of disappointing that nothing was burning, considering the tittle of the song.

Everybody's running about in earnest, there is some kind of a big event, everybody's looking up at the sky like they're expecting an alien visitation, there are these brightly-lit images, sunshine, and there is this beautiful girl running, singing this joyous ode.

First impression:

I only have this as a Tubidy mp4 download on my cellphone, fortunately I've got a Samsung Galaxy tab with the large screen on which I can play it in the absence of seeing it on my big screen. People, you may laugh at me now, feel free, but I really don't understand what the little blond bird is on about. "We're gonna let it burn, burn, burn," running like a new-born foal, waving her arms about. The Sun? Of course, the Sun, but really, of course the Sun will burn, d- uh! okay, but even if I don't quite catch what the lyrics are about after repeated viewings, who cares, I sure don't, this is one fine- looking pretty young girl, so what more do I want, music (and blondes) hath charms...

And, after some research, trying to do it justice with my synopsis:

It's all a big 'thank you to the universe' that we are so young and healthy and lovely, there is a song of love in our hearts, and this is how we express it. Burn with love, our passion. Passion being the key word.

Simply put, Ellie Goulding is one lovely lassie, and what comes from her mouth, is golden honey.

{and, 3 July 2017, almost a year later, I am much wiser re BURN, and tonight I proudly posted the full lyrics. I am in awe of Ellie and of this song, my favorite of hers. Thank you, Ellie, for being such divine inspiration. Oh, and yes, the song is about joy of life and joy in life and saying a big thank you to the Universe and, well, anything good you want it to mean}
