Cassandra (Florence + the Machine)
“So, they killed Cassandra first 'cause she feared the worst”
Florence and the Machine released a song titled Cassandra in 2022, and Florence Welch features elsewhere on The Tortured Poets Department. A community reader proposes the earlier song as a partial influence. The connection is offered as a reader's inference rather than a stated source; the shared title and the album collaboration make it worth recording alongside the song's classical references.
