The Dog days are over!!!



My Itunes download recommendation:

Music has always been my biggest influence. Whenever i hear a good song, i can't help but dance in place...or in my mind. I have for so long wanted to break out in song in many places like in the Show Glee! hehehe! But recently one song has just been on repeat for me, and it is "The Dog days are over" by Florence and the Machine. I discovered this band through the Twilight Saga: Eclipse soundtrack and a good friend recommend them as well. This song is the only one recently that i can relate to 100%. When the singer Florence Welch is singing the lyrics, i feel like she is singing about me and my bad past relationships!! I haven't always had the best relationships, but now that i am Married i know that my "Dog days are over" !!! Her beautiful voice has a rustic, earthy feel to it, and with music added it is the PERFECT match for this very catchy song. Here are the Lyrics:

Happiness hit her like a train on a track/ Coming towards her stuck still no turning back/ She hid around corners /and she hid under beds/ She killed it with kisses /and from it she fled/ With every bubble /she sank with her drink/ And washed it away down the kitchen sink /The dog days are over /The dog days are done /The horses are coming / So you better run Run fast/ for your mother, /run fast for your father /Run for your children, /for your sisters and brothers / Leave all your love and your longing behind /You cant carry it with you if you want to survive / The dog days are over / The dog days are done/ Can you hear the horses?/ Because here they come/ And I never wanted anything from you/ Except everything you had/ and what was left after that too, /oh Happiness hit her/ like a bullet in the head/ Struck from a great height/ by someone who should know better than that / The dog days are over/ The dog days are done/ Can you hear the horses?/ Because here they come/ Run fast for your mother,/ run fast for your father/ Run for your children, /for your sisters and brothers/ Leave all your loving, /your loving behind/ You cant carry it with you/ if you want to survive /The dog days are over/ The dog days are done/ Can you hear the horses? / Because here they come/ The dog days are over /The dog days are done / The horses are coming /So you better run ./

Everywhere i go i hear this song in my head, and i just hum along. It is def a song that lifts my spirits and makes me feel more optimistic about life. Especially when things are not looking up! I love to cook, and bake. So when i am in my place of happiness ( my Kitchen) I have this song on blast!! My daughter and i dance around as i mix together my dinner or dessert ingredients. Music is my muse, and my inspiration. This song has so much meaning to me. I see it as when the good things are here, and you have happiness you need to grab it as fast as you can and go with it. The "dog days are over" meaning all the bad has come to past, and you need to let go of it all or you won't be able to continue life happy and content. I am newly married, so my "Dog days seem to be over" and i am very excited for what is to come!! Thank you so much Florence for this song, it is def one that i will love for a long time to come!!
