Ellie Goulding gets lost in a forest in the enchanting music video for the ethereal "Beating Heart," one of the many contributions the British songstress that are featured on the "The Divergent: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack," just released this week. "Divergent," the upcoming new teen movie sensation, will open in theaters across the States on March 21. The quirky pop goddess was appearing on MTV's studio with the cast of "Divergent," namely stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James on Wednesday when the official visuals for the tune were given their first outing.
Goulding wrote this song specifically for the film "Divergent," which is an adaptation of Veronica Roth's popular teen novel of the same name, and she also lent three of her "Halcyon "tracks to the film. "'Beating Heart' is about being away from someone or knowing that you're always going to have to be apart from someone that you really love," Goulding has told MTV News. "And it's painful, but it's hopeful because there's always a chance that they'll collide again like two people collide. Like the universe will bring them back together. I think the song is basically that. Sort of relying on the fact that if you're meant to be drawn back together you will be."
The 27-year-old star also provided the "musical voice" for lead character Tris Prior (played by Shailene Woodley). "For me, the movie is about a young woman finding herself, transforming herself and becoming powerful on a societal stage," explains director Neil Burger. "It's an intimate, personal portrait, but on a grand scale. Ellie's music has that very intimate quality. You are in the heart of her characters, in their souls, in their minds. When she sings her voice resonates inside you. Her music was a perfect way to do all that for Tris—to feel what she was feeling inside."
In the nearly four-minute visuals, Goulding singing the song while walking around and wandering through a forest , and she's not sure where she's going. Dressed in a lovely short silk black dress, she will eventually face her lover who is also sporting a Dauntless fire tattoo, matching hers, inspired by the dystopian movie. With the dark hues and magical forest atmosphere, it's like we've stepped back into the Twilight days, sans sparking vampires. By the end, she wants to feel his beating heart, finally meeting her tempter face-to-face.
