So, for any of you who have never heard "Shake it Out" by Florence + the Machine, I highly recommend it. Really listen to the lyrics, and see how they can relate to your life. This song has pretty much become my recovery song. Not only did it lead me to get help with my eating disorder, but it got me through treatment, and what I listen to every time that i'm struggling.My best friend even gave me a necklace with the lyrics on it, so I have a constant reminder that I can recover. I feel you can relate this song to any problem you are going through, but I really can relate the lyrics to my eating disorder. Lyrics that stand out to me are "It is a fine romance, that has left me so undone" "It's always darkest before the dawn" and "every demon wants it's pound of flesh" (especially the "pound" part, cause you know...eating disorder). But, the lyrics that really stand out to everyone is "It's hard to dance with the devil on your back, so shake him off." Think about it, whatever is worrying you, hurting you, or holding you back in life is your own devil. That devil is keeping you from dancing, so you got to shake it out, in order to live your life. Listen to the song, the words, and relate it to your life. This song really can make a difference, It did for me.
