INSPIRATION FROM SCIENCE Florence + The Machine - Strangeness & Charm




Florence Welch, of the band “Florence and The Machine” has been working on new material, including a new song called, 'Strangeness And Charm.'

Her inspiration came from a science lesson that her dad taught her.

"I was having a conversation with my father and he was talking about this thing – strangeness and charm," Welch explained. "It's actually the name of the two smallest particles that there are when you split the atom, so I wrote a song around it. Isn't that a nice thing for scientists to call them though? – it's so unscientific and human." The NME reports.

Hydrogen in our veins, it cannot hold itself, my blood is pouring
And the pressure in our bodies that echoes up above it is exploding
And our particles that burn it all because they are for each other
And although we stick together it seems that we are stranging one another

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love

Strangeness and Charm

It started from your arms and it's a catalyct
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent, and you'll forever inject

Strangeness and Charm

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

An atom to atom oh can you feel it on me love and
A pattern to pattern oh can you see it on me love
Atom to atom oh what's the matter with me love

Strangeness and Charm

It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element but it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent and you'll forever inject

Strangeness and Charm x10

It started from your arms and it's a catalyst
You're a chemical that burns there's nothing like this
It's the purest element and it's so volatile
An equation heaven sent and you'll forever inject

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
Feel it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

See it on me love
See it on me love
See it on me love
(Strangeness and Charm)

Oh, Oh, Down, Down down down x4


That was a case of 'you never where your inspirations may come from,' so I'm going to pay more attention;)

  1. I agree. Inspiration can come from any little event in our lives so we have to keep our eyes open and notebooks ready. :)
