Flo, You Are My Inspiration

     So, I have a confession. I'm addicted. No, No, not physically. Not chemichally. But I am musically additcted to Florence and the Machine.

     Every time I have a friend over or meet someone new, I force them into my bedroom computer chair, strap them in, and turn on a Florence video. I've seen all types of reaction to her music, everything from thrilled excitement and awe to just plain confusion. I know, I know, she's not for everyone. BUT none of my friends deny that she has quite some talent.

     Today I was cleaning out my car at the local truck stop, doors thrown all the way open, with her music playing full blast. I couldn't help but notice how many odd looks I got. Granted, the music was slightly on the loud side, but who can deny the awesome power of FLO? No one, that's who. I'm sure it was all just too much for them to handle.

     Anyways, I wanted to start this blog off right by tributing my favorite musical artist (and inspiration). I literally listen to this song every day before I go into work (belting along with her always washes out the negative energy that I may be feeling). Not only that, but the lyrics COMPLETELY apply to a hardship that I've been facing for a while now.

Eh? What do you think? That's some pretty powerful stuff, and she is absolutely GORGEOUS! Now, this song just recently took off for being on the Water for Elephants trailer, and even though I've been listening to her a lot longer than other people, I have a strong feeling she is right on the brink of busting into the mainstream. I encourage you all to look up more of her music videos! If you liked this one, I SWEAR you'll be totally hooked on the other ones as well.

Peace.
