I Start Spinning, Slipping Out Of Time...

I really love this unofficial video for 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' by Florence and the Machine. The song is one of my favourites of the year and, as much as I like the original video, I can't help but prefer this interpretation by Pretty Monkey Studio. The use of clips from a 1935 film version of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' is inspired:

I posted some stills from Florence & The Machine's new video for 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' a couple of days ago. The video itself has now materialised and it's suitably ethereal and fantastical. I love it.



There's a certain Mad Hatter's Tea Party vibe to the whole affair, isn't there?

Incidentally, the lovely Dave McGovern drew my attention to this amazing video, which features a dance track made up almost entirely of pieces of dialogue from Disney's Alice in Wonderland.



I can't help but hear Alice say 'Mary said follow it along but I won't grovel'. Amazing.
