搬运译Pitchfork评10年代200首最佳单曲第174名：大机器: “Shake It Out” (2011)

Take a look at the YouTube comments for Florence and the Machine’s “Shake It Out”: Eight years after its release, the song is still helping people get through breakups, depression, illness, and even a prison sentence. Such are the healing powers of Florence Welch’s gale-force vocals delivering a message of hope and perseverance over florid gospel-pop that sounds like the sun breaking through after a storm. Florence’s multi-platinum 2009 debut album Lungs introduced the London singer to the world stage, but it was “Shake It Out” and its accompanying album, 2011’s Ceremonials, that cemented her place as an arena and festival headliner—a position she maintains to this day. Few moments in pop this decade have delivered this level of ecstatic catharsis; only big rooms and big crowds can do it justice. –Amy Phillips

翻看Florence and the Machine的歌曲“Shake It Out”的油管MV评论区：在发行八年后，这首歌仍在协助人们度过分手、抑郁、疾病，甚至是牢狱之灾。这就是女主唱Florence Welch暴风般嘹亮歌声迸发出的治愈力量，透过绚丽的福音流行乐传递出拔云见日般的希望和坚韧。Florence and the Machine的多白金认证出道专辑《Lungs》将主唱推向世界舞台，但2011年的单曲“Shake It Out”及同年发行的专辑《Ceremonials》更巩固了她体育馆巡演常客和大型音乐节领军者的地位——影响持续至今。纵观这个十年的流行音乐，很少歌曲能达到这种程度的癫狂宣泄；只有空旷的房间和成群的人才能尽善尽美地做到。 –Amy Phillips
