Although if some singles had to go, I'm glad it was these two first.

The fourth single lifted off of Lungs, Drumming Song ends the night. Written by Florence, James Ford and Crispin Hunt, this instrumentally packed song carried such a punch that it made it onto the FIFA World Cup video game soundtrack. Florence talks about it:
Quote:
This is about when there's that electricity between you, and a boy, and it's completely unspoken. When they're standing in front of you and you can't breathe, can't think, can't do anything properly. I'm really geeky - if I like someone, I just become incapable. I remember with my first boyfriend, walking past the window of a pub, seeing he was in there and literally throwing myself on the ground and crawling on the floor because I was so scared! I feel things quite intensely, which is probably why the music is quite intense. If I really like someone, I like someone; I'm sad, I'm sad. I was listening to a lot of hip hop and I wanted to make something that had that kind of beat to it. To me it's the most forward-thinking music around. No one else is moving forward at such pace! Again, it's really Gothic imagery - fairy tales and Edgar Allen Poe [sic] stories. I'd read a lot of Gothic horror when I was a kid.
Fun fact: Almost ten instruments are present in the mix!
Why are you guys not here for Florence? Let's talk about it.
It's not like she's been completely massacred or something.
