Drumming Song – Florence and the Machine
If you are the kind of person who wouldn’t just freeze or stutter when you see the person you’ve been crushing on right in front of you, if you’re the kind of person who would dive on to the ground of a subway station just so he wouldn’t see you, even though all you’ve been wishing for is that he’d notice you, then you’re the kind of person who would understand this song.
Taken off the band’s debut album, Lungs, the song is the fifth single to be released by soul-indie group
The acrobatic stunts that Florence Welch performs with her vocals is like watching a tight rope walker, delicately tip toe before leaping across the air sometimes briskly,sometimes dangerously and sometimes exaggeratingly. And the incessant thumping of layers and layers of instruments neither hides behind her voice nor drowns it, but instead unifies with it like the multitude of colors that drape the circus tent around the acrobat.
On the musical concept of the song, vocalist Florence Welch said, ‘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!’
On the meaning of the song,
Accompanied by a strong piano line and a new band, David Gray follows an upbeat run of acoustic strumming to bring us back the howling balladry that paved the way for contemporary British crooners like James Blunt. The song follows a style similar to The One I Love, with its simple chorus and lyrics on love-pained self-reflection. The chorus is simple enough to blend with anybody’s listening pleasure rather than intrude, and has an attractive energy in its beat-thumping pace to get the song noticed as being catchy. 
The kind of fun that Pink has is the kind that doesn’t let it all hang out…just the best boob would do apparently. With her controversial costume from the controversial (as usual) MTV Video Music Awards, Pink has a natural flair to pack in an entire house of cheers and stunts into the concept of having fun! Her theatrics and acrobatic stunts, including singing upside down, and spinning in the air while being hung by her feet, are all part of the entertainment that follows the promotion of the album from which this title track is taken. 
Just make up your own words and sing along – that’s how Paramore’s flaming red-orange-yellow haired vocalist, Hayley Williams, starts her performance of this track in one of the live concerts of the band. And it’s true. The chaos in this song can welcome a mosaic of lyrical interpretations. It’s got so much passionate guitar whipping, you don’t know if you’re just venting rage or riding high on exhilaration. Of course you also don’t know what she’s really singing about either but it’s just one of those songs where the music is just so darn good, you just wanna crank it up and pretend you know the words or at the very least, make up your own and pretend its your song.
The mournful vocals of Isaac Slade have returned to more balladry, if balladry meant slow songs that everybody can sing along to, even though you may not always like to. Not that the band are trip-breakers, but single after single, the band produces basically the same style of melody-making that won them a soundtrack on Grey’s Anatomy. Grimly speaking, even General Motors takes more risks than The Fray in their investments.
Their albums explode with that beat-packed dance-a-holic first release and usually the follow-up keeps your car stereo worth its bass-booming speakers, but this time around the Peas have opted for a different kind of follow-up to their now overplayed, Boom Boom Pow.
There is a certain David Bowie style mystique in the entire song, but it’s hard to gather exactly where Chris Cornell is going with this one, much like his post-Soundgarden music career. Just like we can’t believe that the face Michael Jackson left behind is the same one that brought the first video by a black artist to our MTV-greedy TV’s, we can’t believe that the saggy arms and haggard look of Chris Cornell is all that is left from a man who forged the rock anthems of an entire generation with a band called Soundgarden. His collaborations have been as disastrous as that most expensive Jackson sibling promo called Scream – from pop-pretentious Audioslave to now Timbaland, who would’ve really thought they day would come.
Indie Rock band, Silversun pickups released their second album, Swoon , on April 14th. The song Panic Switch is their first release from the album. 
This song is taken off the band’s 2008 debut album that spawned charttopping hits like Addicted, but the track has so much more maturity than its college-rock predecessors that it almost could’ve been from another album.
