Snow White's stitching up the circuit board.

Felt it in my fists, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids

Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my wrists

No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself is undone

No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden

No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love

No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world.

Its a bit surprising that I have had this blog for a while now, and still haven't talked about Florence and The Machine. I first got into her music about 2 years ago when her first single 'Kiss With A Fist' came out. Then her album 'Lungs' dropped in June 2009 and BOOM she was mega mega famous. She was the reason I really wanted to go to Oxegen, and though she was playing a tiny stage there was thousands of people spilling out of it everywhere. We were lucky enough to be able to watch from the side of the stage and I think it was, if I'm going to be honest, the best gig of all time. Here are some pictures from the fateful day (trying to act cool whilst being ridiculously intimidated and also discretely operating a camera is HARD)

I got a tip off that she was going to be reading poetry at Electric Picnic so I donned my best rain gear and got a front row seat.

Awesome, no? Plus my dad was impressed when I quoted John Berryman a few days later.

The most important thing I can say about Florence is that if you get a chance, go see her live. She's got this voice that fills the room/tent/world. If you don't get goosebumps, you're probably dead.
