oh my god i watched the midsummer nights dream production with gwen and its making me just a bit insane. heres a list of Thots in no particular order. my god

the rude mechanicals.... black men and fat butches (and that one nun???)....... it worked so well i wanna cry THANK YOU

gwen. gwendoline christie. gwendoline. she has magnetic force i swear to god its insane how shes just so easily the focus of the stage. like even when shes in the role of "looming presence" sitting on that fabric thing...... the couples are the focus and she is still absolutely enchanting in the background

and obvs the switch between oberon and titania....................... and then theseus and hippolyta in the forest when the couples wake up and HER FACE when he turns to her!!!!!!! shocked and flabbergasted it was done so WELL

and then the interactions between titania and puck??? like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE." thats not at all the classic titania OBVIOUSLY but its still so shocking how she holds herself so powerfully with that sort of command

Beyoncé was funny as hell and fit incredibly well but then fatm in the end absolutely killed me. A PERFECTLY FITTING SONG TOO

the couples becoming a lowkey polycule. lol. lmao even. i think some people saw it as unnecessary but the scene is at least partly ridiculous and it worked so well

okay okay okay titanias green dress was gorgeous and as a person i am so WEAK for that sort of look. but then. BUT THEN. i saw in the credits that giles designed the wedding dress and like???? hello????????? that took me OUT

"unlock your calander"

honestly just the whole opening scene with theseus in his suit and hippolyta in a cage. man. MAN.

okay so the rude mechanicals right. i only realized this when the cast was doing the bows at the end and all that but they are directly in opposition w oberons fairies???? and its magnified by the switch of oberon and titania which already presents oberon as a more feminized man (and that only makes the point where theseus succumbs to hippolyta all the more powerful??), in a Fucking Queer Way, both with bottom and also just in general. and like when you see it at the end its suddenly reamplified????? the actors and the fairies arent really presented in any sort of duality but when theyre all on the stage at the end..... MWAH

im still thinking about oberon and titania when shes smiling at him and he starts laughing. oh my god ive nothing more to add

Dance Fever Thoughts

I’m writin this as I listen to the album for the first time, so bear with me if it seems a bit scattered, but I wanted to write through the moment.

King - this song really grew on me. The lyrics were instantly revelatory but the instrumental becomes more lush and beautiful with each listen. Also, just a great vocal performance. I also feel like it may be the ultimate successor to the experiemnt that Breaking Down started, they seem a bit linked musically. Others have noted that this being the first new Florence album track since No Choir is a fascinating juxtaposition, and  yeah, lots to discuss there. I’m very interested if the rest of the tracks on Dance Fever are going to feel super pandemic inspired like both of the main singles (Heaven Is Here excepted). I love the harp outro on this so much.

Free - i was a bit surprised initially at how electronic the beat was for a Florence song (i’m an industrial listener, that’s not something that normally scares me but it was definitely not what I was expecting from FATM). But I adore how tongue in cheek this one is, while retaining that honest heart. The manic energy that relaxes just a touch in the chorus fits so well. Also those high little vocal runs in the chorus background vocals are so beautiful, as are the fantastic string highlights. I hope the strings are a part of the rest of this album, they sound SO good. Also this bridge fucking slaps. Looking forward to this one live too!

Choreomania - okay, a new new one. Huge Lungs vibes.The production on this song is really well done. OH this slaps. The rock n roll resurrected in your image section hit me like a two ton truck, I mean, shit. The way this builds feels so classic Flo but still in keeping with a new and evolved sound. And the little shouty bits in the chorus! Loved it.

Back in Town - the intro feels like a tiny church in the back of your headphones, so that’s already a win.I think I’m crying. As someone who was forced to move back to their hometown due to the pandmic, this one is hitting very close. Some of the most grounded atmospheric lyrics Flo has written, romanticizing a very real life and not a completely fabricated world (both are great, this is just the former). Feels like South London’s post-pandmic cousin. The muted vocals feel like listening to someone singing in the night a floor above you or a building over. Very haunting. The moon is already hanging over this album in an interesting way (especially with the lyrics in My Love coupled with this one). 

Girls Against God - I already know I’m gonna vibe with this one. The guitar work on this is so beautiful. Is the Tom in this song Tom Moth? I love the sort of joyful rage that this song encapsulates. There’s a decided fury but in the way that we were all furiously staring at walls for a while. That fuzzy noisy guitar is so correct for this song. oh the outro is the same song?!?!?! 

Dream Girl Evil - oh shit this is gonna be good. Strong start. Is this our unhinged anthem after the restraint? Oh she’s stompy!!! Great groove. Feels self aware in a way that the rest of the album hasn’t, like yeah it’s self aware of Florence’s public image, but it leans into the heightened emotions of that without being tongue in cheek. Maaaaybe my favorite so far.

Prayer Factory - this one seems to be an interlude. But the vibes are quite good.

Cassandra - The organ groove on that second verse entry is so fucking tasty. This builds into something I never would have thought from its first little introduction on TikTok a few days ago. Probably the most despairing of the album’s tracks yet, but it’s that accessible melancholy. This is also like, the fourth entry of brief spoken word on this album, which is neat. If I run fast enough could I break apart? 

Heaven is Here - this one also really grew on me. I wish the claps and some of the percussive elements were a little louder in the mix, but that’s just me. Some really strong little lyrical moments here, more Catholic taste than the devil is such a banger line. There’s an abandon in Heaven is Here (and I would say Dream Girl Evil and Cassandra from this initial listen) that has felt missing from High As Hope in particular, it’s interesting to explore it again at this stage in Florence’s career. It also further reinforces the idea of Florence physically wrestling with music and song. 

Daffodil - that opening gasp after Heaven is Here is extremely kick ass. Oh, the vocal range on this is wild! Feels very psychadelic! It feels like HIH has transported us somewhere entirely different than where we have been elsewhere on the album, we’re in a different playing space now. Damn, very different. I love it though.

My Love - oh this is the come down, isn’t it? Probably a good choice to release this as a single, but it definitely fits into the latter part of this album. This is the strongest instance of the fantastical and poetic juxtaposed with the literal and mundane that has been put into so much of the lyrics here. “Do I wait for time to do what it does” has only become a stronger sentiment the more I’ve thought about it. There’s a little bit more of an outro on this one on the album too.

Restraint - Florence’s grudge voice!!! ahh!!! Wait, this was in the teasers right?

The Bomb - I feel like this one is gonna make me cry based purely on the first twenty seconds. Love the brushed drums, very jazzy. I like that the song retains its quiet energy while still feeling impactful with the sudden cuts in instrumentation. I don’t love you , I just love the bomb. Wow.  Sometimes you get the girl, sometimes you get the song.

Morning Elvis - title alone has got me wondering about this one. And my proclivity towards the last track of a Florence album tells me I’ll love it. A song about the road and the  music kills you and saves you over and over. I found a hint of that monkey’s paw irony that so many people have felt over the last few years, that ‘well i wanted a break from the hectic life of touring and music but Not Like This’. Definitely not what I was expecting as a closer but I do like the song.

Overall, there are so many fantastic songs, hard to pick a fave right off the bat. My Kate Bush vibes were definitely spot on. And this album is going absolutely SHINE live, I can see why they saved a lot of the songs for post-album release shows, singing these with everybody will be very cathartic. It’s hard to escape the pandemic in all of this, I’m very curious as to how it will feel in a few years when  hopefully this is more thoroughly behind us. Musically a good bridge back into more lush orchestrations while keeping a lot of the organic instruments that made up High As Hope. I already can’t wait to listen to it again.

Do you ever re-read your old Romione fanfics?

What is your favorite genre of music? Do you have any recommendations on Spanish songs?

🔸 I don't reread my Romione fics simply because I'm not into them/HP atm, so I'd rather use my time to read HanLeia fics, or books (okay, it's mostly books). If I ever felt like diving back into HP, I might though! (and do The Cringe, I'm sure)

🔸 soft rock I think? and whatever FATM is

🔸 yes!!

this is one of my fav albums ever by Spanish band La Oreja de Van Gogh. I rediscovered them last year and it brought me back to my teen years, but I was also able to appreciate them better as an adult. Other incredible LODVG bops are La Playa, Dulce Locura and Muñeca de Trapo.

Soda Stereo is an Argentinian classic (En la ciudad de la furia, Trátame suavemente, De música ligera, Persiana americana), as is the lead singer Gustavo Cerati (Puente, Adiós, Lago en el cielo, Tè para 3)

I also fell in love last year with another Argentinian classic that is just part of life but I hadn't paid much attention to before, Fito Páez (Fue amor, Brillante sobre el mic, El amor después del amor, Mariposa Tecknicolor)

also! I love me some Shakira oldies - in particular this album, but also Antología and Que me quedes tú.

this is my private playlist with my fav songs in spanish!

Thanks for asking!!

tagged by proxy by @rabdoidal for a music shuffle meme, and I just got my ye olde ipod classic working again, so let's slap it on

Till Death - Japanese Breakfast "Soft Sounds from Another Planet" is a no-skip album for me. Till Death has such a lovely key change towards the end, a lower shift, and just lovely brass. Your voice in the night, sing me to sleep, soothe this insomnia

Green Light - Lorde A song I played a LOT when I was a junior in college. All of "Melodrama", really. This one has a really good build to it, though I feel like I've outgrown it. Oh honey, I'll come get my things, but I can't let go

Sorry - dodie What you have to understand about the second half of "Build A Problem" is that it's meant to be listened to in one fell swoop. The songs intentionally lead into and out of each other. It always jars me when I hit Sorry without it being followed by When. It is a beautiful little song, though. Let me go back, show me the eyes, so I'd really know just what it looks like, there was the end I couldn't find, found too late

Wrecking Ball - Mother Mother With the exception of Body, I wasn't on the Mother Mother train until a few years ago (Body I jammed to in high school). The lyrics are fine, but what really makes this one for me is the instrumentation. It takes a dedicated hand to put it through the wall

Never Let Me Go (Live) [MTV Unplugged] - Florence + the Machine While I've been on board with everything FATM has done since, and including, "Ceremonials", this song especially holds my heart in its watery grip. The live version, stripped down, lets the vocals shine. And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me, but the arms of the ocean delivered me

Everything Will Be Alright - The Killers For personal reasons, I have a hard time listening to this album as a whole (and what an album to have to miss out on!) but, of all of the songs that could come up from this album, I'm glad it's this one for the lyrics. That said, I don't really love this song anyway? And I won't forget you, at least I'll try and run and run tonight

Symphony - Maggie Rogers I really like the way Maggie has stepped into herself with her second full album. Symphony is, I think, a slept-on song from the album that opens with so many bangers. The lyrics are fine, but this song really shines with the instrumentals. Can you live like nothing's left? Forget your emptiness, take a breath

Between the Lines - Sara Bareilles I have loved this song since middle school. I tried to learn it on piano, back in my "I want to learn piano" days. Sara Bareilles has such a wonderful command of melody, and a killer voice. And I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times, oh, if only I'd been listening

Moon Song - Phoebe Bridgers My favorite song off of "Punisher". I love how Phoebe will build a metaphor and bring the words back around to it in the end of the song. When you saw the dead little bird, you started crying, but you know the killer doesn't understand.

Runaway - Penelope Scott From one of her newest releases, it's a slightly mean-spirited, self-demeaning, delightfully-accompanied romp about putting yourself aside to love someone else. It's all fucked until it isn't, it's all bullshit til you miss them

anyway, anyone who sees this and wants to, go for it! ten songs, shuffled, from your music library/liked songs/whatever. tag me if you do? I want to read it.
