}} "Never Let Me Go" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine from their second studio album, ''Ceremonials'' (2011). The song was written by Florence Welch and Paul Epworth while production was handled by Epworth. Island Records released the song as the third single from the album on 30 March 2012. The band first premiered the song during one of their concerts before the release of the album on 15 October 2011. A Clams Casino remix of the song was placed on the 12" white vinyl single which was available for pre-order on 22 March 2012. Musically, "Never Let Me Go" is a downtempo baroque pop, indie pop and soul ballad in the key of A major completed with piano and drums while backing vocals repeatedly sing "never let me go" throughout the song. Many critics noted similarities between the song's composition and materials by other artists including Enya, Evanescence and Ryan Tedder-produced songs. The song received acclaim by critics who praised Welch's vocals and its balladry nature. An accompanying music video for the song was released online on 8 March 2004. It was directed by Tabitha Denholm and stars actor Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Welch's love interest. The video features the pair together skating and shots of a dirty water trickling down Welch's face and hands are shown. Upon the release of the video, critics praised Welch's gothic look and the video's dark atmosphere. Florence and the Machine added the song to the set list of their second worldwide Ceremonials Tour (2011–2012) where the song was performed during the encore of the concerts along with "No Light, No Light". ==Background and release== "Never Let Me Go" was written by Florence Welch, Paul Epworth and Kid Harpoon while production was handled by Epworth.

I'm drawn to anything that has a hymnal quality, be it Spiritualized or dusty old albums by Georgian choirs." Island Records released "Never Let Me Go" as the third single from the album on 2 April 2012.〔 A Clams Casino remix of the song was placed on the 12" white vinyl single which was available for pre-order on 22 March 2012. The artwork for the vinyl single was shot by Karl Lagerfeld and was described by ''The Guardian''s Michael Cragg as "swanky".〔 Andrew Martin of ''Prefix Magazine'' commented that the "Clams Casino's remix of (song )... was the weirdest thing to happen to Florence Welch's voice". ''The Guardian''s Michael Cragg commented, "He takes the stately Never Let Me Go and adds gusts of distorted backing vocals, big drum claps and, midway through, pitches Florence Welch's vocals down a notch or two to create what sounds like an eerie duet recorded in a cave." 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「Never Let Me Go (Florence and the Machine song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
