Picking out the first song to introduce someone to Florence + The Machine is such a task. It’s all uniquely Florence, but every song is so different. Like should I start them out on lighthearted hippy, forest fae, sad mermaid, spiritual warrior, upbeat suicidal, bohemian poet, religious blasphemer, murderess vixen, wistful ghost, or dark witch???

This shouldn't make sense but it does.
Repeating all of Florence's optimistic lines like:
Finding out that a bunch of cats would just show up at Florence's house while she made Everybody Scream just makes sense
the new florence + the machine album is so good, especially 'narratively' because one of the driving themes, if not the main one, on the album is womanhood and the community in womanhood. and not in an exclusionary, binary way, neither in a 'coquette fawn girlblogger' way that a huge bunch of people online want to turn fatm into. knowing what florence welch wrote it about mostly (the near-death experience of her ectopic pregnancy) gives every word a visceral punch but i think the songs excel because they always reach out to other women to relate them to themselves, and they always lean back on the communal experience of women truthfully and wholly supporting other women, in whatever shape or form that is and in whatever shape or form one defines their own womanhood. it's haunting, and angry, and ruthless in describing isolating and alienating experiences of being a woman in male-dominated fields, in florence's case her art, but the songs become euphoric and peaceful and warm when they concern this communal space, even when it exists in an intangible way through music. it's really great how she made this such a through-line without falling into the traps people like to put florence or her music under.
As I fix you in the gaze of my one unblinking eye
Do I terrify?

i sit in the salt water, call in a vision of my daughter
light a candle, place my grief upon the altar
bird in my hands, a flower, a song
i used to think i knew what sadness was
i was wrong
i see a lot of ppl taking the season six lyric as about buffy, but this is also florence + the machine's sixth studio album!
I think what REALLY pulls "buckle" off as a good unrequited love song is the chorus which goes, "I am too old for this, I should be over this" because not only is it a needed self reflection but it is rare for songwriters to put their 'age' in context and how it affects their relationship with such sentiments/ how it affects making songs like this (breakup, unrequited love, hanging on etc)
