"What The Water Gave Me" Florence + the Machine
Everyone loves Florence + the Machine, I get it. It's awesome and trendy like Arcade Fire's more mature beautiful aunt. Aunt Florence. But I still wasn't a die-hard until I randomly decided to purchase her new album in its entirety (and by randomly I mean after seeing everyone I ever met for one second listening to it on Spotify and posting it on Facebook). When I gave the album a first listen, I was also starting to read The Hunger Games. If you've read the book, you know it's about a crazy fight to the death in the woods. So I have to admit, my posting is tainted. Either this song DOES remind me of running wildly through the woods and jumping gleefully off a cliff into a rushing waterfall, OR I was reading too much fiction at the time. Either way, this song is incredible. It makes me feel alive and scary and powerful and big and small. The accompanying video is fantastic.
How you'll feel: Like Katniss Everdeen.
How you'll move: Combo hippie sway and cotton-eyed Joe crescendo foot stomp.
Side note: I need to blog about a few other songs from the album, so stay tuned!
