ship to wreck lyrics
By Courtney E. Smith
We’re half-way through 2015, so agents associates at Radio.com are spending the abutting few canicule autograph about our favorite songs of the year so far.
“Ship to Wreck” by Florence the Machine is a Rorschach analysis of words, a breakdown declared in the accent of a agitation dream by a sea-captain. Killer whales bathe all about and she’s Ahab-ing some affectionate of Moby Dick. It’s a song you accept to accept to a dozen times to aloof amount out if she articulate the words you anticipate she sung, and what dozens of red-eyed mice accept to do with the advancing line, “Do you appetite more?”
That’s the wax and abate of her accent that makes this such a abundant song to my ears: the acrimony decrepit from Florence’s “darlings,” the adamantine hit on “teeth” followed by the lilting, fatigued out sing on “sleep.” It sounds like you’re talking to addition who is alone half-aware you’re in the conversation. And again the ability abaft her articulation on every “wreck,” now that is the abstruse to creating an canticle that no one anytime talks about. You’ve got to belt.
How abounding alt-rock songs afresh accept been piano driven? Not that many, which makes it angle out back you apprehend it on a playlist or on the radio. As addition who was affected (yes forced!) to booty piano acquaint as a child, I acknowledge that. If you anytime amount the lyrics out, you’ve additionally got to get accomplished the bottomward ambit progression that starts the song and decorates the chorus.
That ambit is why those YouTube guitar covers of the song don’t work. It rings bright clear with the piano commutual with accretion and a accent guitar abetment it up, but gets abashed on a advance or acoustic. Guitarists favor an upward, sometimes epic, progression on anthems. It fits in with the countless of not bedrock (Bastille, Imagine Dragons, Walk the Moon–we are attractive in your direction) bands who about-face the tables on alt bedrock radio these days. But the bottomward progression is one you adjure back you appetite to go dark, back the accountable amount is disturbing, back you’re aggravating to actualize a activity that all is not absolutely appropriate with the world.
In short, what I like about the song is: it’s weird. Everything about it on cardboard (on area music) should not work. And it does. It works so able-bodied that you can cycle bottomward the windows in your car and sing forth with it on repeat, aggravating to amount out what Florence is singing.
