No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart

Artist- Florence + The Machine
Song of the day- Cosmic Love

I'm pretty sure I will eventually post the entire first album of Florence and the Machine because each song is so friggin amazing, and I will be forever in debt to my friend Sarah for introducing me to her. Today's song might just be my favorite and most dramatic song on the album. It seems fitting to post as I finally snagged my concert tickets and can best express my joy and love for seeing her perform as cosmic. She has the grand ability to turn any moment epic as I plug my headphones in and let it soundtrack my daily life. And believe you me, my life is opposite of epic so it's nice to snag a little piece of it every once in a while. So if you ever run into me on the train frantically doing air drums, or I run past you dramatically to get to class like I'm running away or towards a zombie apocalypse, just assume this song is playing in my ears.



A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
