#MusicMonday♫

 

Every now and then I come across a couple of songs that completely take over my playlist, and right now those songs are Drumming Song (Live BBC Proms) and Bird Song (Live BBC Proms) by Florence + The Machine.I've loved Florence + The Machine for years, but there is something special about these live versions. They feel bigger, more emotional, and somehow even more powerful than the studio recordings.

Drumming Song feels like pure energy. It starts building and building until it feels impossible not to get swept up in it. The drums, Florence's voice, the orchestra behind her — everything comes together in a way that makes me want to turn the volume up and get completely lost in the music.

Then there's Bird Song, which has always been one of my favourite Florence songs. There's something dark and beautiful about it. It feels almost like a fairytale, but one that's gone slightly wrong. The live version somehow makes it even more haunting, and Florence's voice sounds incredible throughout.

One thing I love about Florence + The Machine is that their music never feels flat to me. It feels alive. The songs are full of emotion, drama, and imagery, which is probably why I keep coming back to them whenever I need comfort, inspiration, or simply something beautiful to listen to.

Lately, these two songs have been on repeat more times than I care to admit. Every time they finish, I find myself pressing play again.

If you haven't heard the BBC Proms versions yet, I highly recommend giving them a listen.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm probably going to go listen to them again.
