    Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out

    Florence Welch has one of the best voices out right now (besides Adele obviously - but women have strong phenomenal voices, they use it in very different styles)... Florence + the Machine had an amazing two years with 'Dog Days are Over' from the wonderful album, Lungs. Her powerful voice is something that completely stood out.. I think America started paying attention when she performed at the MTV's Movie Awards and just shocked everyone with that amazing, amazing voice.

    So now comes the next album, Ceremonials, which will be released on November 1st. The video below is for the song, 'Shake It Out' and besides being a real cool song, the words really got me.

    Regrets collect like old friends

    Here to relive your darkest moments
    I can see no way, I can see no way
    And all of the ghouls come out to play

    And every demon wants his pound of flesh
    But I like to keep some things to myself
    I like to keep my issues strong
    It's always darkest before the dawn

    And I've been a fool and I've been blind
    I can never leave the past behind
    I can see no way, I can see no way
    I'm always dragging that horse around

    And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
    Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
    So I like to keep my issues strong
    But it's always darkest before the dawn

    Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
    Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah

    And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
    So shake him off, oh woah

    I am done with my graceless heart
    So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
    Cause I like to keep my issues strong
    It's always darkest before the dawn

    What do you think?  Strong song, right?  I know.. good stuff!
    Also, check out, 'What the Water Gave Me' which is also on this upcoming album.
