Dance Fever

**Dance Fever** is the fifth studio album from Florence + The Machine.

*Dance Fever was recorded in London over the course of the pandemic in anticipation of the world’s reopening. It conjures up what Florence missed most in the midst of lockdown—clubs, dancing at festivals, being in the whirl of movement and togetherness—and the hope of reunions to come.*

*Just before the pandemic Florence had become fascinated by choreomania, a Renaissance phenomenon in which groups of people—sometimes thousands—danced wildly to the point of exhaustion, collapse and death. The imagery resonated with Florence, who had been touring nonstop for more than a decade, and in lockdown felt oddly prescient.*

*The image and concept of dance, and choreomania, remained central as Florence wove her own experiences of dance—a discipline she turned to in the early days of sobriety—with the folkloric elements of a moral panic from the Middle Ages. In recent times of torpor and confinement, dance offered propulsion, energy and a way of looking at music more choreographically.*

*Starting, as ever, armed with a notebook of poems and ideas, Florence had just arrived to New York in March 2020 to begin recording when Covid-19 forced a retreat to London. Holed up at home, the songs began to transform, with nods to dance, folk, ‘70s Iggy Pop, longing-for-the-road folk tracks a la Lucinda Williams or Emmylou Harris and more, ultimately arriving somewhere that Florence describes as “Nick Cave at the club.” Lyrically, she took inspiration from the tragic heroines of pre-Raphaelite art, the gothic fiction of Carmen Maria Machado and Julia Armfield, the visceral wave of folk horror film from The Wicker Man and The Witch to Midsommar.*

*Dance Fever is an album that sees Florence at the peak of her powers, coming into a fully realized self-knowledge, poking sly fun at her own self-created persona, playing with ideas of identity, masculinity and femininity, redemption and celebration.*

Strange Behavior

**Strange Behavior** is the ninth track on Take the Sadness Out of Saturday Night. It was released on July 30, 2021.

## Lyrics

Looking at all this strange behavior

Well, I think I understand why this lonely ghost

Is everything I wanted to know

So I follow it to any hole

It says look at this, this is just a shadow

What you thought was faith, that was hollow

Look at you, you've been chasing shadows

That's why you wake up in two

In two

Holding on to all this strange behavior

Can't believe what I thought would save me

A pretty girl

If I follow her around the world

When I catch her, she'll say to me

Look at this, this is just a shadow

What you thought was faith, that was hollow

Look at you, you've been chasing shadows

That's why you wake up in two

In two

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Soon You'll Get Better

**Soon You'll Get Better** is the 12th track on Lover, the seventh studio album from singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on August 23, 2019.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The buttons of my coat were tangled in my hair

In doctor's office lighting, I didn't tell you I was scared

That was the first time we were there

Holy orange bottles, each night, I pray to you

Desperate people find faith, so now I pray to Jesus too

And I say to you

[Chorus]

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

You'll get better soon

'Cause you have to

[Verse 2]

I know delusion when I see it in the mirror

You like the nicer nurses, you make the best of a bad deal

I just pretend it isn't real

I'll paint the kitchen neon, I'll brighten up the sky

I know I'll never get it, there's not a day that I won't try

And I say to you

[Chorus]

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

You'll get better soon

'Cause you have to

[Bridge]

And I hate to make this all about me

But who am I supposed to talk to?

What am I supposed to do

If there's no you?

[Pre-chorus]

This won't go back to normal, if it ever was

It's been years of hoping, and I keep saying it because

'Cause I have to

[Chorus]

Ooh-ah

You'll get better

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

You'll get better soon

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

Soon, you'll get better

Ooh-ah

You'll get better soon

'Cause you have to

## Commentary

* "I don't think I've written a song quite like that before. It's just a tough one. It's not something that we deal with until we have to — until we see it, until we experience it, until someone close to us is going through something like that. So, writing about it is really emotional and... *I'm just gonna stop talking about it now."* —Taylor Swift
* "That's a song I don't know if I'll ever play it live. It's just really difficult for me. It was hard to write. It's hard to sing. It's hard to listen to for me. But sometimes, music is like that. Sometimes it's not just about stuff that was pleasant to feel." —Taylor Swift

## Lyrics

**I'm Ready to Move On**

[Verse 1]

I got one light and dim for another

Why wait a minute to tell her I love her?

I’m waiting on the side of the road tonight

The stars are out but she’s burning brighter and

These nights are never the same

At the bus stop alone but it never came

I'm waiting on the side of the road tonight

The stars are out but she’s burning brighter

[Verse 2]

I got one dream, been hurting me forever

Why wait a minute to tell her I’m better?

I’m waiting on the side of the road tonight

The stars are out and she’s burning brighter and

These nights are never the same

I’m at the bus stop alone but it never came

I'm waiting on the side of the road tonight

The stars are out but she’s burning brighter

[Bridge]

Rolling thunder had cursed my bedroom, hey

I wanna get free, from your world, from your bad dream

I wanna get lost, but there’s still so much I’d like to say

Hey, there's still so much I'd like to say

Hey, there's still so much I'd like to say

Hey, hey, hey, hey

**Mickey Mantle Reprise**

[Outro: Jack Antonoff and *Camilla Venturini*]

Goodbye to the friends I had

Goodbye to my upstairs neighbor

Goodbye to the kids downstairs and

Everybody who lent me a favor

*I want more and more and it feels very strange*

Goodbye to the dream I had

Yeah, I thought that I could save it

*I've gotta get myself back home soon*

Goodbye to the kids I'd have

*I'm trying to get myself back home*

Everybody who lent me a favor

*Where the experience is at*

*I wanna be grateful, I, I wanna be*

*Everybody's looking for someone to love*

*I feel like I'm building something here, like a family, like a normal family*

*You know that they're out there*

*And I feel like I'm missing more and more every time and it feels very strange*

*And every time I go back it gets harder because I get older*

*You've changed, you, you've changed*

*You, you've changed*

*I'm trying to get myself back home*

*I've gotta get myself back home soon*

Sweeter Than Fiction

**Sweeter Than Fiction** is a single sung by Taylor Swift for the *One Chance (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)*. It is the first collaboration between Taylor and Jack Antonoff.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh)

Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no"

You never saw it coming

Slipped when you started running

And now you've come undone and (I, I, I, I)

Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees (eh, eh)

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better

Someday you won't remember

This pain you thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus 1]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

[Verse 2]

Just a shot, just a shot in the dark (oh, oh)

All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it coming

You hit the ground running

And now you're on to something

I, I, I say

What a sight, what a sight when the light came on

Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong

And in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus 2]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

[Bridge]

I’ll be one of the many saying

Look at you now, look at you now, now

I’ll be one of the many saying

You made us proud, you made us proud, proud

I’ll be one of the many saying

Look at you now, look at you now, now

I’ll be one of the many saying

You made us proud, you made us proud, proud

And when they call your name

And they put your picture in a frame

You know that I’ll be there time and again

'Cause I loved you when

When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you heard was "no"

Now in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus 2]

There you stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes are wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

## Commentary

* “I loved working with her. It’s pretty rare that you work with someone and when it’s all done, you’re just like, ‘well that was perfect,’ and that how it was with our experience.” — Jack Antonoff talks about working with Taylor Swift on 1989

## Notes & Trivia

* The title comes from Swift's birth year.
* This album is largely rumored to be about Harry Styles, though there are those that argue that some of it may be inspired by a secret relationship that Swift had with *Glee* star Dianna Agron, based on the deluxe track "Wonderland" corresponding to an Alice in Wonderland tattoo that the actress had. The tattoo was later removed.
* Track 10, "How You Get the Girl," is rumored to be about the relationship between her friends at the time, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.
* Track 15, "You Are in Love," was inspired by the stories Lena Dunham told Swift about her relationship with Jack Antonoff.
* Director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson cited the album as an inspiration for the 2019 film *Someone Great.* The film later inspired Swift to write *Lover*'s "Death by a Thousand Cuts."

Strawberries and Cigarettes

**Strawberries and Cigarettes** is the third track on Love, Simon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack). It was released March 16, 2018.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Remember when we first met?

You said, "Light my cigarette"

So I lied to my mum and dad

I jumped the fence and I ran

But we couldn't go very far

'Cause you locked your keys in your car

So you sat and stared at my lips

And I could already feel your kiss

[Chorus]

Long nights, daydreams

Sugar and smoke rings, I've been a fool

But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

Headlights on me

Racing to 60, I've been a fool

Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like

Blue eyes, black jeans

Lighters and candy, I've been a fool

But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

[Verse 2]

Remember when you taught me fate?

Said it'd all be worth the wait

Like that night in the back of the cab

When your fingers walked in my hand

Next day, nothin' on my phone

But I can still smell you on my clothes

Always hoping that things would change

But we went right back to your games

[Chorus]

Long nights, daydreams

Sugar and smoke rings, I've been a fool

But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

Headlights on me

Racing to 60, I've been a fool

But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like

Blue eyes, black jeans

Lighters and candy, I've been a fool

But strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

[Bridge]

And even if I run away

Give my heart a holiday

Still, strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

You always leave me wanting more

I can't shake my hunger for

Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

Yeah, they always taste like you, you

Long nights, daydreams

With that sugar and smoke rings

Always taste like you

[Chorus]

Headlights on me

(And even if I run away)

Racing to 60, I've been a fool

(Give my heart a holiday)

Still, strawberries and cigarettes always taste like

Blue eyes, black jeans

(You always leave me wanting more)

Lighters and candy, I've been a fool

Strawberries and cigarettes always taste like you

I Miss Those Days

**I Miss Those Days** is the ninth track on Gone Now. It was released on May 25, 2017.

## Lyrics

[Intro]

Yeah, we talk about getting older

But there's so much we haven't done yet

Some days, I'm not here, I don't get dressed

And I curse my bedroom but I left it all alone

'Cause all this time I'm runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway, gone

[Pre-Chorus 1]

And everyone is changing

And storefront's rearranging

I picked up a quarter and I just saw my face

But it's all coming back now

Like the feeling isn't over

Hey, I know I was lost but I miss those days

[Chorus]

I said la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Well I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Yeah!

[Verse 1]

Those days when I'd sit on my sister's rooftop

Watching our city burn into the night

I'm not sure that we were meant to survive

I was sixteen in a van driving myself to Florida

Part of me never left that seat 'cause

Nights and weekends still looking for a dream

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Well, everyone is changing

And the storefronts carry weight now

I'm sorry that you saw me when I lost my way

But it's all coming back, yeah

Like the feeling isn't over

Hey, I know I was lost but I miss those days

[Chorus]

I said la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Well I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

[Bridge]

It feels like everyone is changin'

And the storefront's rearrangin'

I picked up a quarter and I just saw my face

But it's all coming back now

Like the feeling isn't over

Hey, I know I was lost but I miss those days

I know I was lost but I miss those, come on

Hey, I know I was lost but I miss those days

[Chorus]

I said la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Well I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Yeah

I said la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

Well I'm talking, la-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

La-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

La-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

La-la-la-la-la-la-lost, but I miss those days

## Commentary

> "It’s about how in the seemingly lowest points of you’re life, it’s kinda the best. You know, you’ve got no money, you’re driving in an old van, no one’s coming to the shows, no direction, no one gives a shit, but those were kinda the days. Some of those rough days when you were really struggling are kinda the best, as lost as you are." -Jack Antonoff

Melodrama

## Commentary

* "The album cover is all about her—it’s all about her album and her vision—but she caught me at a really special time for my work…we chatted a lot and I listened to some demos of some early songs, which were really great and exciting and fresh…there were some youthful, nighttime attitudes she was really chasing after and really trying to get into the songs. So what she asked me to do was to meet her [at her studio] and create a kind of colorful teenage restlessness and excitement and energy and potential—to put that into color and put it in my hands." —Album cover artist Sam McKinniss, in an interview with *W Magazine*

## Trivia

* It was the first collaboration between Lorde and Jack Antonoff.
* This was the first album that Jack produced in its entirety for another artist.

Don't Go Dark

## Lyrics

What? Are you gonna ride for no one at all?

Hey, are you gonna cry on demand just to get your number called?

Oh, baby, I know gone

I know gone, know out of this world

'Cause I've slept in my bed alone next to my girl

So, do what you want, just don't go dark on me, hey

'Cause you run, run, run

Run with the wild

Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

And you're waitin' to be saved but ain't nobody comin'

It's the same party trick

You dream until you're running

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

Oh, just don't go dark on me

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

You always run, run, run

Run with the wild

I dream a little dream she's not out of it

Then I watch her take another pill

Take another pic, then flip another switch

And now she's gone, now she's gone

Now she's out of this world

It's like California dreamin' got the best of my girl

So do what you want, just take your sights off of me, yeah

'Cause you run, run, run

Run with the wild

Then you cry on my shoulder like a little child

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

And you're waitin' to be saved but ain't nobody comin'

If you're holdin' on to me, you're holdin' on to nothin'

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

Oh, just don't go dark on me

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

You always run, run, run

Run with the wild

You know all this time we've been apart

I finally see it, honey

You've just been waiting your whole life

To find someone who can stand in your storm

I stood there and something was missing

I still see you, honey babe

But it ain't me that you'll be kissin'

'Cause you run, run, run

Run with the devil

Then you cry on my shoulder like I'm forever

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

And you keep playin' to that chip

Chip on your shoulder

Yeah, you carry that around

It's like tryna get to nowhere

Do what you want, just don't go dark on me

Oh, just don't go dark on me

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

Run, run, run

Run with the wild

Oh, so just don't go dark on me, ooh-ooh

So just don't go dark on me, ooh-ooh

Just don't go dark on me, baby, ooh-ooh

One Foot

**One Foot** is the 9th track on Some Nights. It was released on February 21, 2012. The song was recorded at Emile's Studio and Jungle City.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm standing in Brooklyn just waiting for something to happen

I can’t help but love thinking that everyone doesn’t get it

To my left there’s a window

Where did I go?

My reflection just blends in to rows of clothes and bad ideas

But ideas nonetheless and so...

[Chorus]

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

[Verse 2]

I happen to stumble upon a chapel last night

And I can’t help but back up when I think of what happens inside

I got friends locked in boxes, that's no way to live

But what you're calling a sin isn’t up to them

After all, after all I thought we were all your children

But I will die for my own sins thanks a lot

We will rise up ourselves thanks for nothing at all

So up off the ground our forefathers are nothing but dust now

[Chorus]

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

[Verse 3]

Maybe I should learn to shut my mouth

I am over twenty-five and I can’t make a name for myself

Some nights I break down and cry

Lucky that my father’s still alive

He’s been fighting all his life and if this is all I’ve ever known

Then may his soul live on forever in my song

[Chorus]

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

I put one foot in front of the other one

I don’t need a new love or a new life just a better place to die

[Outro]

In front of the other one

In front of the other one

Just a better place to die

## Lyrics

Somebody broke me once

Love was a currency

A shimmering balance act

I think that I laughed at that

And I saw your face and hands

Coloured in sun and then

I think I understand

Will I understand?

Will we fight, stay up late?

In my dreams I'm to blame

Different sides of the bed

Roll your eyes, shave my head

Now we're stuck in the storm

We were born to ignore

And all I got is a chance to just sit

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

I slept on my own those nights

Was still in my parents' house

And I cut off my t-shirt sleeves

And claim a new continent

'Til I saw your face and hands

Covered in sun and then

I think I understand

Will I understand?

Will we fight, stay up late?

In my dreams I'm to blame

Different sides of the bed

Roll your eyes, shake my head

Now we're stuck in the storm

We were born to ignore

And all I got is a chance to just sit

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

When you're looking at your shadow

Standing on the edge of yourself

Praying on the darkness

Just don't take the money

Dreaming of an easy

Waking up without weight now

And you're looking at the heartless

Just don't take the money

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Well, don't take the money

(I'm in love and you've got me, runaway)

You steal the air out of my lungs, you make me feel it

I pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets

Your hand forever's all I want

Don't take the money

Don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money

Just don't take the money

## Notes

* The line "your hand forever's all I want / don't take the money" is revisited in Taylor Swift's "Getaway Car" from the other side: "i left you in a motel bar / put the money in a bag and I stole the keys." In this song, the singer is begging the other not to leave, while in Swift's song, the perspective is from the person doing the leaving, though they are remorseful.
