Music Monday: Starting as I mean to go on...

First Music Monday, just a week late! This song fell into my lap, as many by Florence + the Machine do, and immediately spoke to me in the voice of a character in my current WIP who has been irritatingly silent up to now. This is a very personal song that takes a Bible story and turns it upside down with Delilah betrayed by Samson this time. Perfect, since my MC has a relationship from her past that mimics that gender-bent retelling...and y'all do not KNOW how hard I'm avoiding spoilers here! Enjoy...it comes complete with the angelic voice of Florence Welch.


Delilahby Florence Leontine Mary Welch, Isabella Janet Florentina Summers
Drifting through the halls with the sunrise(Holding on for your call)Climbing up the walls for that flashing light(I can never let go)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Holding on for your call)'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Maybe not tonight)
Now the sun is up and I'm going blind(Holding on for your call)Another drink just to pass the time(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Holding on for your call)'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Maybe not tonight)
It's a different kind of dangerAnd the bells are ringing outAnd I'm calling for my motherAs I pull the pillars downIt's a different kind of dangerAnd my feet are spinning aroundNever knew I was a dancer'Til Delilah showed me how
Too fast for freedomSometimes it all falls downThese chains never leave meI keep dragging them around
Now I'm dancing with Delilah and her vision is mine(Holding on for your call)A different kind of danger in the daylight(I can never let go)Took anything to cut you, I can find(Holding on for your call)A different kind of a danger in the daylight(Can't you let me know?)
Now it's one more boy and it's one more lie(Holding on for your call)Taking the pills just to pass the time(I can never say no)
'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Holding on for your call)'Cause I'm gonna be free and I'm gonna be fine(Maybe not tonight)
It's a different kind of dangerAnd the bells are ringing outAnd I'm calling for my motherAs I pull the pillars downIt's a different kind of dangerAnd my feet are spinning aroundNever knew I was a dancer'Til Delilah showed me how

Strung up, strung out for your loveHang in, hung up, it's so roughI'm wrung and ringing outWhy can't you let me know?
