I was hesistant to say how I feel about Florence and the Machine as "Love", but I can't deny it.
I love Flo and I love her song writing and I love her voice.
Of course I had seen her music vids, heard of her by name, but never actually heard her songs.
When I'm at the gym I listen to my ipod and watch the music vids.
I only heard of Flo and her sound from an episode of How I Met Your Mother.
I thought this song sounds good and powerful.
The song of course was Shake it Out. And then I read and heard all the praise, sought out
some advice from a former DJ mate (who advised she wrote angry lyrics) and I bought her two albums with no hesitation.
I say Shake it Out is my fave song, but then I hear her other songs and then I say THAT'S my fave song.
So, let's just knock this on the head.
THIS is my favourite version of Shake It Out
THIS is my favourite version of Never Let Me Go, which is also the first song I listen to in the morning. Guess that means this song is my favorite Flo song!
I regret the fact I discovered Florence so late, because she is touring Australia in May, 2012 and her concert in Melbourne is sold out!!
I'll just have to wait till next time.
As with all songs and artists I like, I appreciate the fact that I can undrstand what Flo is singing about and that her songs actually tell a story and is not mindless lyrically.
As always when she hits those high notes, I have a big goofy grin on my face.
