RE: Track by Track - an interpretation of the album Lungs by Florence and the Machine
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I've listened to this album while I've been happy. I've listened to it when I'm sad. I've listened to it when I'm angry. When I'm calm. When I'm anxious. Each time, it has taken on different meanings. Every time, it has resulted in one thing - cacophonous noise bending my emotion
Hit the nail on the head there. :)
I was just listening to Dog Days. I found it walking to therapy one day and felt it so intensely - it felt like the first day in a long time when that was true and happiness could really be. Always associate it with that, a sort of reminder we've overcome worse things.
Howl was how I discovered Florence, though I have to admit I don't know much of the rest of the album. This is quite an intriguing intro to it. Thank you. I guess I'll go listen to the whole thing and come back. :)
I couldn't tell you which track I heard first, or when. Since the work of the band is used so heavily in advertising and other media, it feels like "since the start" but that's wrong to say.
I could do a deep dive of my music listening history, but I do remember pre ordering How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful on physical media. Then every album after that.
I think that trend will continue. It doesn't seem like a long wait between albums because i feel like I can disect each one for more and more meaning and inspiration for years without ever becoming exhausted.
Her work is definitely a muse of mine.
