i was perfectly skeptical at first.

florence + the machine? dog days are over? nahhhhhh, i’m good– i have adele.

and then, i don’t know… i started listening. i started needing to listen. and i heard a few lyrics that helped me realize why he wouldn’t work and then especially why that was not an option. and voila, now florence is my flo.

1. I must become a lion hearted girl
   Ready for a fight
2. And it’s over
   And I’m going under
   But I’m not giving up
   I’m just giving in
3. There’s a drumming noise inside my head
   That starts when you’re around
   I swear that you could hear it
   It makes such an all mighty sound
4. But you came over me like some holy rite
5. Holy water cannot help you now
   See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
   And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
   I’m gonna raise the stakes, I’m gonna smoke you out
6. Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
7. The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
   You left me in the dark
   No dawn, no day, I’m always in this twilight
   In the shadow of your heart

**cosmic love is my holy grail of all flo. every single word in that song is so perfect i almost posted the whole damn thing**
