Halloween

is one of the best holidays. This is the first time I'm not going to be trick or treating. And it breaks my heart. I definitely don't think I'm too old, because no one can be too old to go around and collect free candy in some character based outfit. But let's face it, everyone around here is "too cool" for all that. And I'm not gonna do it by myself lol.
Maybe next year. Yeah, definitely next year.
But I still plan on dressing up, cause this is the only day of the year I can dress like a complete idiot and no one can say a damn thing.

Today I reunited with Florence + The Machine. I've always loved Florence Welch, and her voice is possibly one of the best. But for whatever reason, I haven't listened to her in a while. And that needed to change.

Listening and downloading more of her music, brought me to reunite with other old great artists. And all of it made me realize what shit music this generation is bringing. It's depressing me. No one cares about a God given talented voice anymore, it's all about up-beat music and lyrics that have something to do with sex or getting shit faced. Sex used to be hidden in the lyrics. It went from "pink slip inviting me inside" to "gimmie that sweet, that nasty, that gushy stuff".

I'm not saying I hate all of it, cause I listen to a lot of it too. But some of it's just like, really? I'm glad I grew up listening to 90's music and my iPod is full of music that has more meaning to it than getting crunk and/or giving my body up, like it's my job.

Now you're probably like, well Florence didn't come out with an album until the late 2000's. Well yeah. I didn't say all music was bad from this generation. So don't try and start a battle with me, I'll win. And if you really wanna get into it, most of the artists I like from today are from a different country. Other countries who have much better taste in music. Florence, Tegan & Sara. Adele, Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding, the list is endless.

But I do recommend each one of those artists if you don't already listen to them. And for your listening pleasure, here are some links of my favorites by Florence + The Machine. I'd do all the artists but you'd get sick of listening, so if anyone really wants me to, just ask. =D

Florence + The Machine - Cosmic Love
Florence + The Machine - Kiss With A Fist
Florence + The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)
Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out
Florence + The Machine - My Boy Builds Coffins
Florence + The Machine - Hurricane Drunk
Florence + The Machine - Spectrum
Florence + The Machine - What The Water Gave Me
Florence + The Machine - Heavy In Your Arms
Florence + The Machine - Leave My Body
Florence + The Machine - Dog Days Are Over

And my absolute favorite by her is probablyyyy

Florence + The Machine - Blinding

That's a lot of songs, but considering she only has 2 albums it's really not. And most of the songs are from the album Lungs, her new album Ceremonials just came out in the UK came out maybe a month ago. So any songs from that album on YouTube, her voice is messed with a little so "YouTube officials" or whatever don't delete them. I tried to get them all with lyrics cause sometimes you can't understand what she's saying I guess. I didn't watch every single video all the way through though, so I can't promise all the lyrics are correct.

I didn't think this post was going to be so Florence based, but whatever.
Happy Halloween (=
