I get the chills every time I listen to this song. If you’ve been under a rock for the last three years, you might’ve not heard about Florence + the Machine, headed up by Florence Welch. Their debut album came out the summer of 2009, hitting the top of the charts in their native England and here in the U.S. Their second came out just this last October, from which this song is from.
Enjoy.

Taken by Trees is 34-year-old, pixie-haired Victoria Bergsman. She hails from Sweden, used to be in a band called The Concretes (which I have not heard of), and I can honestly say that I have no idea how I happened upon her, but a few weeks ago I did. I love her second album, East of Eden, from which this song I am sharing with you is from. She retreated to Pakistan to write and record this album and, according to Wiki, hired amateur musicians from the area to record with her. I love the exotic sound; the breeziness of this song.
