Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me (novo single)

Um exclusivo ontem disponibilizado pela Florence Mary Leontine Welch e a sua banda Florence + the Machine. Sou grande fã desta pessoa e esta faixa What The Water Gave Me não (me) desilude. Na descrição da própria:

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

And don't pour at us
The world's beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the shields are left to rust
That's what the water gave us

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You could have had it any other way

'Cause she's a crueller mistress
And the bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don't forget me
When I let the water take me

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

As referências à água e a Virginia Woolf são demasiado óbvias para as apontar nos versos. Já quanto à pintura homónima de Frida Khalo (1938) confesso que ainda não a conhecia.

O resto que sobra do desfrute do tema são sensações demasiado pessoais para aqui as partilhar (guardo-as comigo); cada um sentirá as que lhe aprouver. Do novo álbum é que ainda não se revela a data oficial de lançamento (mas espero que o badalado dia 7 de Novembro não esteja longe da realidade). Flo: you're the best!
