I have come to burn your kingdom down.
Aug. 25th, 2012 12:43 amSo, today I had an idea.
See, I’ve been listening to Ceremonials by Florence + the Machine for at least two weeks now, pretty much nonstop. Any time I’m driving anywhere, the CD is in and I just let it play through (except when I have to tune into the radio to figure out why the interstate is closed in both directions for 27 hours because an explosive chemical is leaking and traffic is gridlocked on every surface street in the city).
Now, the thing is, off the top of my head, I can think of four songs from the album that scream AVENGERS FIC at me – Only if for a Night, No Light No Light, Seven Devils, Spectrum – and I could totally come up with something for the rest, too. Pretty damn easily, in fact, if I actually sat down and read the lyrics.
Of course, I have entirely too many other things going on at the moment. But I do kinda wanna write a drabble series, maybe, one for each song.
How have I not tired of this album yet? Usually, I listen to something nonstop for a few days and then I’m done with it for awhile. I really think Ceremonials is the best CD I’ve ever heard.

I'm not sure what my favorite favorite song is from either CD. I pretty much love them all (except Dog Days, for some reason. I just don't like that one.)
But, yeah. I could probably come up with a different fandom for every song.
