I love the music of the 60’s, 70’s and the 80’s. This is probably not surprising because they were very impressionable years for me and, of course, there is a certain pleasure in the nostalgia created by many of those songs. However, every now and then I come across something more recent that also makes an impact.
One of the joys of blogging is the sharing of our lives which, in many cases, will include certain likes and dislikes. During one recent exchange of musical thoughts, a comment was made about Florence Welch. Florence Welch?
A quick inquiry in iTunes found her and, after listening to some track samples …. here we are! My choice of music today is Florence and the Machine performing “Shake it out.” I love her voice; her vocal style, and the power of the overall presentation. My kind of song! Enjoy!
Okay, I’m gonna just let my age hang out here, and my ignorance. Florence Welch???
“Does Colin mean Lawrence Welk? But he never sang, did he?”
So I listened, and I like what I heard.
Guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!!

That is the word I was looking for, presense”. I just kept wanting to hear the next verse, almost like being held captive.

Yes, I too found that it held my interest right to the end, and then I had to play it again!

Great voice and new to me too. When I listen to such a beautiful voice I wonder why I didn’t get one.

I wonder about me in much the same way. We clearly have talents in other areas, but what areas????? 🙂
