30 Day Song Challenge – Day 16: A song I used to love and now hate

28May11

This is a prime example how a band rises to notoriety on the back of a cover version of a song that held a lot of fond memories for them and for others and then got so over-played on the radio or in advertisements or on Sky sports or some such shit that it lost all meaning and became more like the musical equivalent of Chinese water torture. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Lungs when it was first released and I wish Flo all the success in the world, but this culture of ramming songs down one’s throat until they are forced to believe it is the best song ever really pisses me off. Elbow gets second place for One Day Like This

So without further ado,

A song I used to love and now hate: Florence and The Machine – You’ve Got The Love
