"Oh the queen of peace always does her best to please, is it any use? Somebody's gotta lose..."
Queen of peace / Long & lost - Florence + the Machine
I meant to post 'Long & lost' a few days ago, as I was falling deeply in love with it, but for one reason or another I had other songs to give precedence to. And it couldn't have been better!! Dear Flo just released her first video since the album came out, she posted a couple of teasers about 'Queen of peace' (which is the other song I'm utterly in love with nowadays), and well... to my (and I guess anyone else's) surprise, she just released a double video for QoP and L&L and.... oh my goodness, it's probably one her best videos to date, if not the best! Notwithstanding how much I am in love with her music, I've not been a huge fan of most of her videos to date, but this one is just amazing... you just have to watch it. It's beautiful. And amazing. I'm still trying to close my mouth as I'm still totally in awe. Do watch it, and you won't regret it! (If you're interested, there might even be some naked Flo body on top, just so...)!!!
"Without your love I'll be so long & lost, are you missing me?"
Last night I finished reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and I had already been planning to post this one when I would have finished, so the time has come! Moreover, this is Florence's song that I've been the closest to this past year, so it also makes sense in the context of my best of 2013! What more? There's really little that can compare with this mostly awesome mix!
