March 13, 201015 yr Completely pointless re release but the new video is nice. Always thought the original was boring.
March 14, 201015 yr I'm so bored of this $h!te. Cosmic Love should have been released properly. It's the only amazing track on the album,.
March 14, 201015 yr I'm quite disappointed with the new video. I think the old video is much more creative and interesting and eye-catching. However, I think the new one especially when she is running with the flag has a real Pirates of the Caribbean feel, I don't know whether that is good or bad though!? The song is incredible though but she really should just release a new single! Her next will probably be a re-release of Kiss With A Fist! :(
March 14, 201015 yr Dear God the new video is horrible, the old one fit the tone of the song perfectly and was unique while this seems forced. Not to mention this song has been available to buy since 2008! And got the attention it deserved after her Brits win, and then again after the success of You Got The Love and it's use for the Channel 4 trailer for Slumdog. If I'm not mistaken it has matched the success of Rabbit Heart by getting a Top 15 peak, that is good enough. EDIT: It peaked it in the Top 25. There are so many other good songs on the album that deserve a release; Cosmic Love Girl With One Eye Howl Bird Song Falling Hurricane Drunk Between Two Lungs Blinding Edited March 15, 201015 yr by Daniel Gleek
March 28, 201015 yr Author The release has been pushed back to April 12th. I don't see the point about pushing it back though.
March 30, 201015 yr Is this the third or fourth time she has released this? Second time. She released it as a download in December 2008 where it was iTunes free song of the week, when BBC Radio 6 was supporting it (I think) and as far as I know, that is the single version that has been available to download ever since (obviously people are also downloading the album track). The only reason it seems like it has been re-released a lot is because it has re-climbed the charts twice: the first time after she won her Critics Choice Award at the Brits in 2009 and a clip of Dog Days and Kiss With A Fist was played, so both songs naturally climbed. Then it climbed again after the New Year hype of You've Got the Love, and Dog Days got a positive knock on effect, and then climbed higher when it was used to promote Slumdog Millionaire on Channel 4 during it's Indian themed week and its use on other adverts/shows. It peaked at #23 and is probably her most well known song (and therefore commercial) after You've Got the Love. Hence it's re-release, although really they should have just skipped this and went straight to Cosmic Love, because although it has cracked the Top 40 again I doubt she will re-peak.

April 1, 201015 yr Author It looks like it will also have a new cover used for the re-release: http://flotique.florenceandthemachine.net/Content/158.jpg
May 13, 20232 yr Thanks to its feature in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, this has re-entered the chart at #27 this week which is amazing. It originally peaked at #23 when it was re-released in 2010.
May 13, 20232 yr I hope this gets a new peak it’s an absolute timeless masterpiece and amongst her all time best even now. I didn’t actually realise just how much it has sold overall though! One of those songs what must have streamed very well over the years and what sold well on downloads too despite its peak perhaps looking misleading to how big it actually was.
