I bestow upon you a six-minute and thirty-two second scorcher of a song in this new year!
Florence effortlessly weaves in and out of beautiful and silky smooth melody and some of the most powerful belting that’s out there. This song is an absolute anthem for strong women.
Highlights for me:
-that whole opening guitar riff is spectacular, headphones!
-bedraggled!
-THIS:
“But I’ve really done it this time, this one is all mine, I’ll be up there with the men and the 10 other women in the 100 greatest records of all time, it must be nice to be a man and make boring music, just because you can, now don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan, you’re my second favourite front man, and you could have me if you weren’t so afraid of me, it’s funny how men don’t find power very sexy, so this one’s for the ladies, do I drive you crazy?”
Goosebumps. Such a proclamation. So powerful. The speed at which she goes through the bolded part hits me every time! The creaky transition between drive and you?! Our red-headed Valkyrie drops a song that’s not just good…
…it’s ONE OF THE GREATS.
Haha, be good, do good. Luv y’all!
PS, if you want to see her channel Bob Dylan in the video:
