Paper Massacre

There is a Florence + The Machine song that didn't make the cut for Lungs.

A ghost of a song, it now only exists as a partial clip of audio that sounds like it was saved to the voicemail on a flip phone. (You have to remember this was 2008 or so.)

Seeing as the song was never actually finished, it wouldn't be possible for her or the new band members to even attempt it without possibly starting over.

It is the Holy Grail of Florence songs. With every new album or single or special edition that comes out the first comment in the community is speculation as to whether or not Paper Massacre will appear.

It wont.

You see, listening to it you can hear similarities of a later song appearing in 2012's Ceremonials. The drum beats, the clapping, (lot's of their songs have clapping.) the echos, are all there in Strangeness and Charm.
