Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (cover by the Glee cast)

This is by far the song I'm expecting the most to hear this July when Florence comeback to Portugal, to play at Optimus Alive.

You can check HERE the review of this song and the album Cerimonials.

Everyone knows this song, so why am I talking about it?

I've just watched what I can consider - and I hope you too - a brilliant cover of this song, by the Glee cast.

What do you think about this version?

All of his questions, such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues drawn

But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out

Florence and the Machine - Dog Days Are Over

Our site is about music stories. And I have one pretty simple for the one that I'm going to share today.

The band is very known and so is the song. It's from Florence and the Machine and the song is called Dog Days Are Over.

It's the second single released from their debut album called Lungs. Did you know the drumming sound we can hear in this song was made by her banging her hands against the wall. How cool?

Also, did you know that the song was inspired by a giant text installment full of colors titled Dog Days Are Over by artist Ugo Rondinone, which Florence used to see every day, riding her bike over Waterloo Bridge.

Let me say I would love to see this huge text everyday like Florence use to.

It's basically the idea of being free and that's exactly how I'm feeling right now. I've just finished my exams and will have 2 weeks and a half off. Expect more posts - at least as long as I've something to write about, I will!

Happiness hit her 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 her 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
