And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane. I'm going to blow myself away

Artist- Florence + The Machine
Song of the day- Hurricane Drunk

Ok I may still be on Flo overload, and would apologize for my constant posts about it but it's fantastic music which you should like so I shant be apologizing. But I haven't been able to stop playing this song, it's great to run to, walk to the train to, clean to, cry to, and, well, as the song title might hint at also good to drink to. It has just the right mix of sad, energy, anger, empowerment and ethereal-ness mixed with Flo's sweet Britishness that just makes for a good musical time. It's that embodiment of raw emotion that sometimes only music can properly express. So if you are in need of a hurricane of emotion, this one's for you.



No walls can keep me protected,
No sleet - nothing between me and the rain.
And you can't save me now, I'm in the grip of a hurricane.
I'm going to blow myself away

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse

No home, don't want shelter
No calm, nothing to keep me from the storm
And you can't hold me down, 'cause I belong to the hurricane
It's going to blow this all away

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse

I hope that you see me, 'cause I'm staring at you
But when you look over, you look right through
Then you lean and kiss her on the head
And I never felt so alive and so dead

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
I'm going out..

I'm going out, I'm going to drink myself to death
And in the crowd I see you with someone else
I brace myself 'cause I know it's going to hurt
I'm going out x6
