Florence + The Machine
from UK
音樂類型：Alternative/Experimental/Indie

◎全英音樂「最佳樂評人獎」、BBC「2009年潛力新人」第三名的英倫女聲新貴。
◎動員Paul Epworth、James Ford、Steve Mackie等三位不同領域大師齊力拱盤。
◎以銳不可擋的氣勢直接空降英國金榜亞軍。
◎“Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)”於首週拿下英國TOP12好成績，各大傳TheTime+The Observer+The Guardian+Drowned In Sound推崇。

尚未正式發行專輯的Florence + The Machine，已率先抱回2009年全英音樂「最佳樂評人獎」加冕，推崇聲浪剎時從四面八方湧入，坐上BBC的「2009年潛力新人」名單第三名，NME除了力挺有加，更邀請參與The NME Tours盛會，登上英倫年度超大型戶外搖滾祭典Glastonbury、Reading & Leeds的舞台，The Guardian Guide讚譽：「Florence + The Machine的瘋狂式藝術流行樂將成為2009年最美麗的聲響」。

擔任主唱也是樂團靈魂支柱的Florence Welch，自小受到愛音樂的父母影響，從7歲開始就在婚喪宴會中演出，11歲接受歌唱訓練課程，雖然Florence有著「讀寫障礙」、「動作協調障礙」等問題，卻不影響她追求音樂的熱情和決心，在經過治療後還可提筆撰寫歌曲。由吉他手Robert Ackroyd、鼓手Christopher Lloyd Hayden、鍵盤手Isabella Summers和豎琴手Tom Monger等人建立起的The Machine，成為Florence幕後最大的支撐樂團。2007年組軍完成，短短時間內就擄獲許多人目光，2008年的“Kiss With A Fist”和“Dog Days Are Over”兩支暖身作品，全部擠身英國金榜百大單曲之林。

Florence + The Machine聯手出擊首張專輯【Lungs】，一口氣動員Paul Epworth (Bloc Party.、New Order)、James Ford (Mystery Jets、Arctic Monkeys)、Steve Mackie (Deana Carter、Aberfeldy)等三位橫跨不同領域的大師齊力拱盤，以銳不可擋的氣勢直接空降英國金榜亞軍。先前曝光的開場曲“Dog Days Are Over”，徘徊在Folk/Pop的邊緣，加上Florence韌性十足的演繹功力，很難不讓人深深著迷；首週拿下英國單曲榜Top12好成績的 “Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)”，充滿魅惑的層次感聲音表情，電子鍵盤的輕巧覆蓋，加強不斷外擴延展的想像空間；溫熱弦樂和冰冷琴音對撞之“Howl”，其中極具感染力的澎湃激昂嗓音再度加深歌曲記憶點；挑釁味濃烈同時衝出十足霸氣的“Kiss With A Fist”，讓這位強悍女人一鳴驚人，過癮的龐克節拍點燃難以制伏的氣焰；如精靈般跳躍著歡愉頻率的“Between Two Lungs”和“Hurricane Drunk”，流露出獨一無二的奇幻美感，並在感性細膩中聽見流淌心靈間的酣暢音符。早已獲各傳媒The TimeThe Observer+The Guardian+Drowned In Sound近滿分的破表推崇。

She is smart,quaint,beautiful

Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

Happiness,it hurt like a train on a track
Coming towards her,stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
and washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children and your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
the dog days are done
Can’t you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
and what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness it hurt like a bullet in the mind
Stuck them up drainpipes
by someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can’t carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
repeat
