Freedom, isn’t that all we want? The art of being free is what I found in thissong. Because freedom isn’t something you see or you do. Freedom is thepower to feel what you want to. This is “Hunger” by Florence and The Machine. We all have a hunger. What is that all about? Is it a cry for help, is it a cryout loud? Such a heavily loaded sentence. It evokes locked away senses. The pre-chorus we just heard makes me feel like I want to dance. I want toprance I want my chance to live my life they way I want to. I want to live withpassion and spiral in the art of being alive. If I can feel this much, then Imust be.. alive. I feel praised because I feel spoken to when Florence sings about “vibrant”youth. It empowers me to appreciate art a little more, to appreciate my ownknowledge and power a little more. It makes me feel like I can change theworld. I want to run and I want to jump and I want to fly I want to reap thefruitof the tree of life that I planted, that I am and I want totire myself out with being alive that I drop and die. But not yet. Not yet. We all have a hunger. We live our lives trying to fill up the void the hungerleaves. Sometimes you might feel lost and empty. You fall into an abyss andthen there is this. This song that reaches out to you. You feel heard and youescape from feeling blue. There is a light and it may even make you feel alive.
