“Abacus” by Florence Dore | Rock Song Review
Music Review:
““Abacus” by Florence Dore sets up a lively, high-spirited little celebration that feels crafted exclusively for the listener. The melody moves with ease, almost playfully, unfolding in bright, sunlit textures that give the track an airy immediacy. The vocals—brimming with energy and an immediate, pleasant expressiveness—channel a sense of fun without unnecessary affectation, carrying a subtle grit that grounds the sweetness. The rock rhythm keeps the pulse alive, not explosive but steadily propulsive, locking into a groove that feels both loose and deliberate. ”

Lyrics of Florence Dore – Abacus
Well I sat down with Descartes
To try to understand my heart
Say one and one makes two, and that’s true
But that’s not why I’m still with you
Don’t add it up on paper
Get your broken calculator
Facts and figures can’t relate
To this puzzle we have made
All these charts and graphs and lines
They can’t tell you why you’re mine
Don’t add it up on paper
‘Cause it’s a broken calculator
When you’re at sixes boy the seven’s right behind
Just drop the numbers ‘cause the mystery just might come out
love
It’s gonna come out love
Oh yeah come out love
Well I guess we’ll stay related
Without the help of an equation
Yeah baby we’re together
Because of something you can’t measure
I made my mind up to stay with him
In spite of the algorithm
And it won’t add up, no it won’t add up, baby to you,
it won’t add up to you, no no and
it won’t add up to you, it won’t add up to you.
