Florence and the Machine: guarda “Breaking Down”, il nuovo video in stile Instagram

Improvviso cambio di direzione dell’immaginario a cui Florence Welch ci ha abituati finora con i suoi video. ‘Stavolta le atmosfere sono assolutamente vintage, quasi in stile Instagram: “Breaking Down” è un viaggio tutto Made in USA tra Los Angeles, Las Vegas e New Orleans negli anni ’60.

Il brano è uno dei più riusciti dell’ultimo album “Ceremonials“. I Florence and the Machine sono infatti riusciti nel piccolo ‘miracolo’ di unire un testo che parla di depressione e sconforto a una melodia agrodolce e sognante. Per apprezzare ancora meglio il risultato, dopo il salto trovate il testo oltre al video della versione live al “Later… with Jools Holland”.

Florence and the Machine
“Breaking Down”

All alone
It was always there you see
And even on my own
It was always standing next to me

I can see it coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I’m breaking down again
Oh, I think I’m breaking down

All alone
Even when I was a child
I’ve always known
There was something to be find

You know that I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Creeping in the streetlight
Holding my hand in the pale gloom
Can you see it coming now?

Oh, I think I’m breaking down again
Oh, I think I’m breaking down

All alone
On the edge of sleep
My old familiar friend
Comes and lies down next to me

And I can see you coming from the edge of the room
Smiling in the streetlight
Even with my eyes shut tight
I still see you coming now

Oh, I think I’m breaking down again
Oh, I think I’m breaking down again
Oh, I think I’m breaking down again
Oh, I think I’m breaking down
