Florence and the Machine is the recording name of Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her voice. There music sound has been described as a variety of genres, including pop, rock and soul. The bands big promotion was when they performed on the BBC Introducing Stage although they had big praise from the media before this.
The band's debut album is called Lungs which was released in July 2009. On 17 January 2010, the album reached No. 1 on the UK album chart. The debut single for the album was "kiss with a fist". The follow-up single was, "Dog Days are Over". Then her third single released from the album was "Rabbit Heart (raise it up)".
When I first researched my song Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) I found that there were many different views of the song. I decided to get a random group to listen to the song and give me there view of the songs overall theme. Below are a few responses:
"I got a prostitution vibe from this song. I guess it's offering your talents for money, prostituting your voice, your body, your mind, it's all the same. I Love it. :) " - Paris
"I think the lyrics could be a relationship analysis. A girl who is sacrificing herself to the 'king' - rendering herself helpless, being bound by someone else's grip and influence. It could be a partner, it could be a parent or even within herself. But eventually gathering a 'lion heart' and breaking free, shedding the 'skin'" - Lewis
"I think it is about how being in the music industry you have to be brave. Its about offering herself up to the industry because she has a gift, and has to use it, but she understands that she's going to have to change to survive that industry" - Jade
