There’s a few songs by Florence + The Machine that sound different to the ones that have appaeared on Lungs.

Firstly, there’s this version of : My Boy Builds Coffins. This version sounds quite bluesy and not as dark as the version on Lungs. I’m not knocking either version. I just love the different sound. I reckon Flo should do a Blues album. That’d be cool. Or even better, an album of ALLLLL the demos because only a few were on the deluxe version of Lungs. I’d buy anything she did to be honest. Even if it was an album of Robbie Williams songs..and I can’t stand him.

There’s this version of : Swimming Song. which has that raw sound of Kiss With A Fist. There’s a bit of Punk in Florence. She did Search And Destroy with Lightspeed Champion at a gig in Brighton last year. It was pretty friggin’ good. I loved it. Dev Hynes is a phenomanel guitarist and Flo is a fantastic singer, so of course it was beyond brilliant.

You’ve all heard the versions of Ghosts/I’m Not Calling You A Liar/Don’t Tell Me. Regardless of which version you love, the song is great.

I’ve got a demo version of Kiss With A Fist which is so raw and actually makes you want to punch someone in the jaw. I obviously wouldn’t do such a thing, but the version of it is THAT good.

There’s honestly no point to this post. I just wanted to write about Florence (again…I know). I juts love her and I love how she has this raw sound that everyone has fallen in love with. I remember first watching a clip of her on YouTube in 2007 and just falling in love. Her voice, her lyrics, her stage presence- it’s all amazing. A gifted human being. She could sing any song, any kind of genre and it’d be beautiful.
