Florence + The Machine - Mother

I've been coming back to this song a lot over the past few months. It's the song I think of as the bands 'Big Brother And The Holding Company one', as opposed to 'What The Water Gave Me', which I tend to think of as the 'Jefferson Airplane one'. Not in a derivative way in either sense, merely in that both songs have a slight echo or nod to that particular musical moment in time.

The guitar sound on 'Mother' has that late 1960s/1967 Monteray Pop Festival feel to it only it's combined with Florence Welch's signature motif of dark lyrics coupled with uplifting music. Overall, it's also a song that is indicative of the way in which the band tend to go for a big finish, mood wise and sonically speaking, on all of their albums.
