Hunger

Florence and the Machine is a British group from London formed by Florence Welch and Isabella Summers in 2007 synthesizing pop, English folk, and alternative rock. The six-time Grammy nominees broke through with their single "Dog Days Are Over," the second single from their 2009 debut album, "Lungs." The song rose to No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was heard on the TV shows such as "Gossip Girl" and "Glee." The group has had three Top 10 albums on Billboard, including their lone No. 1 "How Big How Blue How Beautiful" in 2015.

Here's another group I'm not familiar with, but this fluid-moving "ginger" is worth watching. Florence Welch wrote this song about her eating disorder. And yes, we all do have a hunger! Most of us have a hunger to be free of this pandemic. We need new leadership, so vote like your life depends upon it because it does.

  1. Now here is ONE group I LOVE!!!!!! Florence and the Machine. When they came out her voice was so different sounding, and the band had a fresh sound and take on rock. I just love Florence Welch too. This group is worth watching alright.

    1. Well, Mistress Maddie I do believe we agree. Florence is mesmerizing. She is so fluid...both physically and vocally.

  2. We do indeed have a hunger. And are starving for justice and equality.
    I do hope those needs can be fed.
    And am mesmerised by her voice and her supple strength.

    1. Trump starved me and I'm ready to be fed. Florence entertained the hell out of me. I don't know why I never listened to her before...I guess I can't be all places all the time.

  3. We are so much more than the physical, and i think that includes our hunger.

    Amazing song.

    1. You're absolutely right. Our intellectual hunger has been starved to death for the past four years by this blustering bigoted boob they put in the White House.

    1. You say that and then nothing else. Do you hate it? love it? Any words of wisdom at all?

  5. I have lived long enough to realize that we are feeding our leaders and not the other way around. c.
