"Dog Days Are Over" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine from their debut album Lungs (in 2009). It was originally scheduled for release on 24 November 2008 through Moshi Moshi Records in the UK as the album's second single, but was later pushed back for release on 1 December 2008. A day later on 2 December 2008 the single was released in download and seven-inch vinyl format through IAMSOUND Records in the US. The B-side to the single is a cover of "You got the love" by The Source featuring Candi Staton which later was confirmed as a track on their debut album and the band's fifth single. The single reached the top 30 in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
A demo version of "Dog Days Are Over" is featured on disc two of the deluxe edition of Lungs. A six-minute, forty-second-long Optimo remix of "Dog Days Are Over" has also been made available. An acoustic version of the song was performed live on BBC 1’s Big weekend. The track has been performed at a great number of high-profile festivals through 2008 and 2009, including the Reading and Leeds festivals. The band also performed the song on the Mercury Prize 2009 awards show and BBC Introducing.
I really feel like this is a great song choice for this brief because the songs narrative is interpretive so when I come to create my narrative I will be able to crate a narrative for the audience while allowing the lyrics to convey a sense of relatability and a true connection to its audience. as well as this, I also think that this song could be meaningful in different ways while also empowering the audience if that's what I would stray towards with my narrative.
