Dance Fever Analysis- "Daffodil"
🕑 Added 2023-07-23 01:47:14 +0000 UTCI discuss the use of diction, imagery, metaphor, alliteration, symbolism and more throughout this track. I also discuss the contextual motif of the COVID19 pandemic.
Also, sorry for the uneven audio...the music is super loud here (headphone users BEWARE)7...I'm not sure if it is because of my headset or what. Also, also, sorry that I screwed up the screen configuration. For some reason, I convinced myself that the YouTube vide was supposed to be larger than my screen. I realize now that is not true, and that this move has truly taken my last brain cell 😭😭😭

It's definitely very relatable! It was such a strange time.

OMG!!! I love that you have that tattoo! I bet it is beautiful!

This song just makes me think of spring 2021 and how, after that pandemic winter, I felt so cautiously optimistic and so metaphorically *hungry* for flowers. I was like, "ah, Florence felt that, too"

I even have “and yet the birds begin to sing” tattooed on me with a daffodil next to it

This is one of my favorites from this album. In a way, I see it as a “life goes on” anthem, and that even though hard things have happened, the speaker has still accomplished a lot. She’s gotten drunk on skylines and made herself a myth while still retaining her reality. And even though the world has “bent double from weeping” there’s still hope in the future. Also here to comment for the next analysis you’ll want to do both “My Love” and “Restraint” as the latter is very short :)
