“Florida” by Neon Pilgrim

 

     “Florida” begins with an inviting lyrical and vocal warmth. The song from Neon Pilgrim even begins with an urging - “Come on!” But while the warmth carries on, the inviting nature dies as the first verse eloquently describes the difficulty of the relationship – “You decided to fix your heart up with some glue,” and “I swallowed all the pride I could chew.”
 
     That first verse ends with a release – “Do what you wanna do” – which leads to a chorus during which apology stands in stark contrast to thunderous percussion. The chorus is the strength of “Florida.” The protagonist takes ownership of his share of blame, but the song concludes with a repeating pattern of “I’m so sorry to [leave you].” Is the troubled relationship with someone or with a location, such as the state of Florida?
 
     The lead vocals belong to Harry Williams, who drives Neon Pilgrim. Williams, a resident of London, composed “Florida.” The female backing vocalist is Amber Wilson. Other contributors are Dom Morley (producer and synth), Ed Harcourt (guitar and piano), Jason McGerr (drums), and Damon Minchella (bass).
