This song is fantastic because it's really melodic and simple. I liked this video clip of the XX live session more than the official music video for this song because the music video was really repetitive and i thought the live session was more interesting. It always fascinates me to see artists sing live and see where all the sounds you hear are coming from. In the case of The XX, they sound the same in this live sessions and in the recording. When artist sound worse live compared to the recording I feel like they are cheating because they advertise their sound with the recording when they really don't sound like the recording at all.
I've been listening to this song all week and i thought it would only make sense for me to share it on my blog. I don't know what exactly i like so much about the song... I think it's a combination of the harsh base and guitar, the rhythmic percussion and i also really like the singers voice. I'm not the biggest fan of the music video for this song mainly because the story line is about werewolves which is really cliche for a song called wolf like me. Thought the music video is disappointing, the song is far better than the music video!

Florence and the Machine has such an eclectic sound that mixes folk with a bit of soul. When i downloaded this song after i heard it on youtube it sounded so different on the downloaded version. There was a lot of electric guitar and it was a much slower tempo. Personally i like this version in the park better than the recording. The drumming on the rails is really original, the bells just add to why i love this version and of course her voice is amazing. She has such a powerful voice which i really admire and her song lyrics are also one of a kind.

I know there is no music video to go with this song but i think the song is so great on it's own that it doesn't need a music video. I love everything about Bon Iver. The voice and the acoustic guitar work so wonderfully together in all of Bon Ivers songs. Out of all Bon Ivers songs i chose to share this one because it was the first song of theirs i discovered and the lyrics are at least a little bit understandable. I've listened to this song so many times and I'm still uncertain of the meaning of the song. Another reason i love Bon Ivers music is that there is so much room for interpretation of the songs meanings. Feel free to interpret this song as you want and if you like Bon Iver look up the album "For Emma, Forever ago"
