What the Water Gave Me by Florence and the Machine

I remember the first time I heard this song, I was in my roommate's car and we were driving either to or from teahouse after getting some bubble tea. He played this song for me and I remember putting the song on repeat over and over again. we probably listened to the song about 15 times in the duration of that car ride and since then, this song has been a staple on my mp3 player. This is one of those songs that makes me want to play along with the band; the drums are so integral in this song that i wish i was the drummer playing! and the Harp. wow. the fact that Florence and the Machine utilize a harp in this song to drive the melody just adds to the flavor of this song. And this song is very rich in flavor; from the Pad/base driven chorus, to the steady 4/4 on drums, to the incredibly sharp and crisp tone of the harp, everything in this song is so well put together that the incredible vocal power of 'Florence' symbolizes the huge cherry on top. Listen, enjoy, and tell me what you think!
