“Choreomania” was one of the first songs written for Dance Fever, and could be seen as the record’s title track, since it was named after a dancing plague that took place in Europe in 1518.
Although it may first appear to be a COVID-19 related track, it was actually written before the pandemic hit,...
[Intro]
And I am freaking out in the middle of the street
With the complete conviction of someone who's never had anything actually really bad happen to them
But I am committed now to the feeling
[Verse 1]
I don't know how it started
Don't know how to stop it
Suddenly, I'm dancin'
To imaginary music
[Chorus]
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
[Verse 2]
And this is the end
And I'm thinking about her
Driving around in the backseat of the car
I'll be your demon daddy
And do they speak to you?
'Cause they spеak to me too
The pressurе and the panic
You push your body through
[Chorus]
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
[Bridge]
You said that rock and roll is dead
But is that just because it has not been
Resurrected in your image?
Like if Jesus came back
But in a beautiful dress
And all the evangelicals were like
"Oh, yes"
"Oh, yes"
[Chorus]
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
(Something's coming, something's coming)
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
(Something's coming, something's coming)
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
(Something's coming, something's coming)
Something's coming, so out of breath
I just kept spinnin' and I danced myself to death
(Something's coming, something's coming)
Choreomania was written by Jack Antonoff & Doveman & Florence Welch.
Choreomania was produced by Florence Welch & Jack Antonoff.
Florence + the Machine released Choreomania on Fri May 13 2022.
I got really fascinated by this dance plague that happened in the 16th century. It’s known as choreomania, and there’s a song on the album called ‘Choreomania’, and that was one the first songs I wrote for the record.
—via iHeart Radio
I was told about it by a friend, actually. My friend is a poet, and they had written a poem about it that I’m in. But they transferred the dancing plague into current day Berlin. And it would be me dancing in a gay nightclub in Berlin with Patti Smith and Kate Bush. I was like, ‘This is amazing!’
