Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me

I think in some ways I have a love/hate relationship with Florence + The Machine. I was ridiculously excited for her first album and when I got it I definitely really liked it, but it was the summer before I went to university and I was having a tough time with a lot of stuff. I think that sometimes there is a real darkness to her music and when I wasn’t in a great head space that was definitely not what I should have been listening to because it kind of indulged my unhappiness (clearly what I should have been listening to was this). So after that I didn’t listen to her music for a long time because I had such bad memories attached to it. That being said I think the darkness to some of her music is what gives it such a mysterious and almost mythical quality. Essentially what I am trying to say is that I am psyched for her new album and I think that if this song reflects anything it’s that she has taken the best elements of her first album and brought them to the table for her second. Although I did choke up at a Lil Wayne video yesterday, so who even knows what headspace I’m in right now.
