}} "Drumming Song" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. The song was released on Island Records on 13 September 2009 in the UK as the album's fourth single. The song is also the band's second consecutive single to be A-listed on BBC Radio 1. It is the band's fourth single to peak within the top 75 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #54 during its week of physical release. The B-side to the single is a demo version of "Falling" a track which appears only on the deluxe edition of ''Lungs''. Though not as commercially successful as their other singles, Drumming Song is a favourite amongst fans at Florence + the Machine live performances. The single was nominated for "Best Music Video" (alongside Lady Gaga and Mika) at the Q Awards, which took place on 25 October 2009. ==Background== "Drumming Song" features an instrumental collaboration of drums, organ, piano, bass, violin, viola, cello and harp; of which James Ford, the track's producer, is credited for the bass, drums, organ and piano contributions. Ford also co-wrote the song with Crispin Hunt and the song features backing vocals from Ladonna Hartley-Peters and Victoria Alkinlola. Welch elaborated on the concept of the song: This is about when there's that electricity between you, and a boy, and it's completely unspoken. When they're standing in front of you and you can't breathe, can't think, can't do anything properly. I'm really geeky - if I like someone, I just become incapable. I remember with my first boyfriend, walking past the window of a pub, seeing he was in there and literally throwing myself on the ground and crawling on the floor because I was so scared! I feel things quite intensely, which is probably why the music is quite intense. If I really like someone, I like someone; I'm sad, I'm sad. As part of the single's promotion the band performed the song on Jools Holland alongside previous single "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)". The single was also performed at numerous festivals around the UK throughout 2009. Including: Glastonbury, Brighton, T In The Park, Bestival, Reading and Electric Picnic in the Republic of Ireland, among others. A music video for the song was shot in the interior of Christ Church, Spitalfields, featuring Florence Welch and dancers. The English Baroque church, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, interpreted the overall shapes of gothic architecture with the language of classical architecture. The song also features on the soundtrack to the 2010 FIFA World Cup Video Game. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drumming Song」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
