Florence and the machine!

We have changed our song and our idea!! I know its sounds crazy but we really didn't like the other ideas, they seemed to cheesy and uninteresting and I felt that the song was slightly boring, once listened to quite a lot. We had an idea where a boy was obsessed and followed a girl to her work place and then found out she had a boyfriend/girlfriend and then dropped one of his belongings and then he got followed by a crazy stalker also, However we really, really did NOT not like the idea. So we have changed to as I mentioned before, Folk tale/Fairy Tale. 

Here is our new song, although long, I think its a much more powerful and has more of and impact.
