"Ship to Wreck" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine. It was released as the second single from the band's third studio album, ''How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful''. The track premiered on Huw Stephens' show on BBC Radio 1 on April 8, 2015 and the accompanying music video was released on April 13, following the narrative of band's previous two videos of "What Kind of Man" and "St. Jude". Along with the band's first single "What Kind of Man" released from ''How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'', "Ship to Wreck" received critical acclaim; with critics praising frontwoman Florence Welch's vocals, as well as the song's production. "Ship To Wreck" was also nominated for Best Rock Video at the 2015 MTV Music Awards. == Composition == The folk rock and pop song carries an "upbeat, bouncy sound," in contrast to the lyrics, which speak of self-destructive behaviour. The song was almost cut from the record, as producer Marcus Dravs had told Welch not to write more songs about water, a recurring symbol in the band's previous album, ''Ceremonials'', but Welch managed to include it. In a press release, Florence Welch described the song, saying: "I was thinking about my own self destructive side, and how you can make something only to tear it down, enjoy/destroy, create/devastate etc. When you're in that whirlwind, you often end up breaking the thing you love the most." == Critical reception == ''Billboard'' included "Ship to Wreck" in its "Top 10 Songs of 2015 (So Far)" list in June 2015, stating "Florence Welch may have reached a new peak with third album ''How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'' -- she's certainly never been more effective as a live performer, and "Ship To Wreck" demonstrates that she's still growing as a pop songwriter. Everything comes together for Florence + The Machine on their latest single, as Welch's voice coils around the slender arrangement and squeezes hard on the chorus." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Top 10 Songs of 2015 (So Far)" )〕 ==Charts== 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「Ship to Wreck」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
