Florence + The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) [Lyrics]

[kilacaprani]

i rerally love this song! 

[MastersDoll]

does anyone know what she means by rabbit-hearted girl?

[ImThatRandomGrrrl]

@MastersDoll I guess she means shy & quiet, almost like a rabbit?! IDK

[catstopzebra]

@MastersDoll Rabbits are skittish, afraid, and reproduce quickly making them easily replaceable. In Seth Godin's books, he talks about our "lizard brain" which is "afraid of everything and intent on reproduction". I believe "rabbit-hearted" is a spin-off of that, but instead of referring to our mind this refers to our heart, and when I say heart I don't mean the organ but the poetic/musical founded belief that our heart is connected with our emotions and feelings. So...she wants to be strong!

[MastersDoll]

@catstopzebra thank you, that makes complet sense with the song and i appreciate your response. helps me relate to florence even more

[hyrulphicsound]

@MastersDoll It means she's a weak hearted girl or easily frightened.

[xStrangersLullaby]

@MastersDoll a rabbit hearted girl is referring to a girl who is shy, weak, and easily used (like as a prey), but later on in the song, she turns into the lion hearted girl so she eventaully gains power or rather works her way up the food chain.

[Dontstopshaking]

I was the lamb ):

[StalkerPenguins]

I! I AM THE KNIFE!

[theonlyblue0708]

who is the lamb and whos the knife..

[kitkat4973]

2:38 best part ;)

[dqrox13]

I have no idea what she is sing about or y but i think she is singing about the king with the golden touch ... i love that story!! :)

[soccerchick9841]

she's werid she's out of the ordinary, she's not like any other artist I've heard or seen

She's 100% unqiue and I absoulty love her. Thank You Florence+The Machine but

going against all of mainstream today and being yourself :)

[dqrox13]

@soccerchick9841 OMG u r really right!!!

[soccerchick9841]

@dqrox13 Ha ha thanks (:

[luvpie123]

HELP MY REPLAY BUTTON IS BROKEN!! IT KEEPS REWINDING, who cares this song is awesome I wanna hear it over and over and over

[MultiyAuzi]

raise it up

[randomrockprincess14]

absolutely mesmerizing♥ LOVE

[1JB2LOVER3]

okay i love her voice.. but im not sure what she is talking about in her songs..hmm.

[tormentga]

Honestly, I thought she was saying "who is the loved, and who is denied." I actually loved this song for that, found out that wasn't the case, and well, I still love this song.

[flygerian1231]

:megusta:

[Dontstopshaking]

Asshole, this song was a prophecy of our whole relationshit. I fucking hate you.

I was the lamb.

[MariasModernLife]

"Who is Cave Johnson, and who is the lemon?

GLaDOS is queen and she kills me so right."

:troll:

[mermaidmelody1999]

@MariasModernLife GLaDOS is Florence in disguise. :trollface:

[MariasModernLife]

@mermaidmelody1999 Obviously, all of her songs are complaining about chell and how she doesn't get cake.

:trolldance:

[linkashy]

wow i didnt think florence says in 3:16 i think she says who is the love and who is the live ?

[MakeupMad2010]

Strange words.. about a greek myth I believe. Love the melody but not sure about the words.. Bit odd xD

[JonasAlbrecht]

Part of me wishes that The Machine was her robot sidekick that provided everything but lead vocals.

[Noona1818]

i feel like theres some demonic shiz going on here

[RadicalDreamer15]

@Noona1818 I don't think so, I think the meaning is that artists sacrifice a lot of their lives to be famous.

[michelle123my123bell]

i always heard, rude is the llama, rude is the night. i have no idea why.

[EviscerVIII]

Thanks for posting the uncut version! Most of the videos of this song are shortened. :-(

[jkshergill]

@EviscerVIII really? that sucks. but you're welcome! :)

[AquaTao23]

This reminds me of Alice and Wonderful mixed with the Brother's Grimm Fairytales

[TR1CKSTAH]

@AquaTao23 you mean Alice in Wonderland, right?

[Fireflies11297]

i wanna cry every time i hear this song now!! used to be one of my favorite songs but the guy that sang it with me is dating a really slutty chick and she posted the it on her wall on Facebook</3

[earliebirdify]

I love the beat to this song o3o Reminds me of a rabbit bounding through a meadow :D

[1234lleah]

florence, ed sheeran and ron weasley are giving gingers an easier life.

[Palo10]

I get chills from 0:00 to 3:54

<33

[MoonGoesShiny]

I always get the chills when she sings @ 0:54 and 1:59!

[PolkadotsWillScream]

@MoonGoesShiny I get them from 0:35 to 0:47 especially the words 'rabbit-heatred girl' :D

[sapphirebaby96]

i love when songs tell stories. GOOD stories. not only are the lyrics pure poetry, but her voice is so raw it's impossible not to get hooked

[VeritasNOTPL]

I was stoned a year ago when I wrote the same comment I do now cuz the reason is the same. I listen to this all the time when Im stoned !!

[SuperDuperN3rd]

@VeritasNOTPL Honey being stoned is nothing to be proud of, it in facts make you pathetic.

[Swagcruisin]

@SuperDuperN3rd 9/10 ur a fat nerd who doesn't know what he's talkin about

[ieluvmoozik]

@VeritasNOTPL i reckon you should fuckin quit so you can truly appreciate music without being stoned, no offence :p

[EpikHater]

@ieluvmoozik Thinking music sounds good when you're high doesn't mean you don't appreciate it. It just means that, when you're high, you literally feel like you're inside the music.

[LuvJackDawson]

Midas is king and he holds me so tight and turns me to gold in the sunlight...

[lotsodakka]

tbh im not sure why i like this song im not that into the rest of her work (not hateing just not my kind of music) but i realy like this song :)

[Swagcruisin]

deon williams xd

[Primajtotallyrocks]

I'm the only one in my class who knows(and loves) Florence + The Machine. Which makes meh 'weird' for not liking today's kind of music. But I keep my head held high and ignore them. Quite proud of myself for discovering her. :D

[tryandcatchup1st]

@Primajtotallyrocks you're not the only one. I'm probably the only one in my whole high school who listens to her, or any other music that isn't rap. We're much cooler than them with our REAL music (:

[whitexfangs]

@Primajtotallyrocks You don't stand alone, in my class it's "weird" to listen to this. I had to tell one day, which music I liked, and disliked, so they listened and laught (my whole class), but once I told them that the music they listen to sucks, they we're quiet! FLORENCE + THE MACHINE FOREVER! <3

[RedRidingBlue]

@Primajtotallyrocks Same with me! :D

[SpencieSpecimen]

It's commonly said that if you don't pour your heart into a song, it's not even worth singing.

Florence pours her heart into a persona. And that's why this is so captivating and just... unbelievably addictive.

[SoFi3world]

good song for the video to morgana :)))

[lealilajelly]

A lovely song. I always feel stronger when listening to this.

[ShaunaCharlotte2010]

i must become a lion hearted girl.

[ztanlei]

OMG why I had not heard this before? She is just amazing:) Shes a true artist!

[keysle]

Does Jesus have balls?

What for?

[theolandeo]

@keysle what does that hav 2 do with anything????/ thats so stupid!

[keysle]

@theolandeo If you play the song backwards... it says that

[ninipaolaproductions]

amazing i loove the pre-chourus and chourus

and bridge

[ninipaolaproductions]

amazing i loove the pre-chourus and chourus

[hailey860]

This song isn't like anything I usually listen to. Yet I love it. Is it just me, or do you get a very "Alice in wonderland" feel from it, only a lot brighter? It's inspired the concept for a novel that I now can't wait to start writing...

[MultiFlyleafgirl]

@hailey860 i want to make a story with this song too! What's your story about?????

[tryandcatchup1st]

@hailey860 hahaha I thought the same thing! I was like why does this remind me of alice in wonderland...

[davdaninja]

lol i listened to this song from germany to jfk 7 hours strait, great song

[theolandeo]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!

[Nicole7S]

Love this song, the only reason i know it is because i got requested to do a cover of it haha, it will be posted soon. Check out my channel and feel free to make requests, i will try my best! :)

Great video!

[KelliJay28]

i love all her songs there great!!!! so rustic and like mystical and awesomely awesome!!!!!!! they make me feel soo great! :D

[lydia3030]

h20 brought me here

[MissAmiTimeLord]

She sounds so... scared, in this song. I love it. I love how she can admit that she could sell out & change everything, but she'll keep singing anyway. That takes guts.

[ElemmireJeiona]

@MissAmiTimeLord

I agree.

Nice name, btw.

[TheEllinida97]

i dont understand what this is about srry plz explain

[Kinasei]

@TheEllinida97 its about how she had to sacrifice eveything she made herself to be for her music career. she's explaining the change she went thru and how hard it was

[MahouAme]

Thanks for making this video, this is one of my absolute favorite FatM songs! I actually wrote an paper on it for my AP English class last year, explaining how it related to Quentin Compson from The Sound and the Fury.

[missbumblebeebee]

This song reminds me sooo much of The Hunger Games series (:

[GleefulPuddle]

F + tM has such powerful music. They're truly amazing, and I hope to see more of their artistry in the future. <3

[HeartSeamstress]

Powerful! I wonder what the story behind it is.

[nickiminajrules222]

i love this friggin' song

[Vickasaurious]

Idgaf if a million of you like the dubstep version, the original will ALWAYS BE THE BEST. (IMO) <3

[jellyrcw12]

I love this song, Florence & The Machine is epic and I love all of their songs. Florence's song is amazing, it's like all of nature wrapped up in a voice

[BunnyIsolatedCHICK56]

Florence is truely amazing! <3

[Rasberryseed10]

My brother said it sounded like she was saying, "Who is the lemon, who is the knife?"

Now that's all I can hear :(

[berryflan]

@Rasberryseed10 just listen for awhile, it dosnt sound like that if u do that

[chocobrowniez]

@Rasberryseed10 Now its in my head!!! 

[achtungbabymrbellamy]

"I must become a Lion hearted girl.."

[LynnStrifeTsubame]

Wow... this song is GREAT! :D

[holagirl78]

@TheCakeeater12 Im not stoned!!! the idiot part.......

[tokyogirlsakura]

i absolutely love this song! Florence + The Machine is just sheer beauty in their music. This song is just so emotion-captivating and I love it. In some parts of her songs (any of them) you can find yourself in the song, and not every artist can do that. I must say that Florence + The Machine is one of my absolute FAVORITE artists. <3

[wedidentstartthefire]

i get chills when she says this is a gift it comes with a price and i dont know why

[ryanWHtam]

@wedidentstartthefire me too! omg it sounds so awesome :)

[arinross523]

@wedidentstartthefire The chords hit u like a tidal wave. I'm not a musician but the chords are kind of unexpected, but they fit like pieces in a puzzle, plus her voice is gorgeous

[jonadams1000]

@wedidentstartthefire the gift of modern technology, life and fame. the price is selling ourselves. our souls. 21-12-12 . fuck the NWO

[teeth567bath]

loooooooooooooooooooooovw this song it's sooooooooo good <3

[mangalover0120]

I love how her songs are confusing poetry wrapped in tunes that I can't recognize so I turn to gold like she did.....<3

[EpikHater]

@mangalover0120 ...Wait, what?

[juju90568]

i really dont understand this song.Can someone explain?

[XxAwesomeKittyxX]

Love the song <333

What program did you use to make this? I'd like to start making lyric videos but I haven't got any idea of where to even start. I don't know how to make these things, but telling me the program you used would already be really helpful. Thanks in advance ♥ :)

[jkshergill]

@XxAwesomeKittyxX Hiya.

I used the programme Windows Movie Maker. Virtually all Microsoft computers and laptops will automatically have this programme already downloaded so need to buy/download it! :)

It's pretty simple to use, all you need are music files and the correct lyrics and you're good to go! If you do get stuck, there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube (or you could ask me and I'll try to explain!). x

[XxAwesomeKittyxX]

@jkshergill Aw thanks a lot! :) x

[Zombiemarkk]

@ThePepperandSpice No, 7 people are the rabbit because they couldn't be a lion :)

[sarahjustme]

It's different from the 'official video' version!

Such a beautiful song :)

[juvebaba11]

Sounds like 'You've got the love'

[becciecaudery]

@juvebaba11 i thought the same! lol

[chuyita95net]

muy buena cancionn

[ADayOnMarz]

[WolfeyesVIII]

...Oh great, now I have to put up with election advertisements with my songs :/.

[Mrfoolsmate]

NO, HONESTLY!

[Mrfoolsmate]

JUST THE SONG PLEASE?

[eggnarokloy1]

this song is addicting



[cooldoggie01]

she reminds me of la roux

[ximulady]

@cooldoggie01

But, in my opinion, way better :p

[claaaarex]

this song is just amazzzing!;]

i love florences voice, because it's stronger and uniquer than anyone elses.

this song sorta reminds me of like the characters in twilight. :}

[Bremen25]

Anybody see them do them this live? I N S A N E

[maiashafgirlwildlark]

If Tim Burton doesn't put at least one Florence song in his next movie, I will kill someone. -__-

[BlackWiltedRose333]

who else loves her singing spirit?!

[rosieemilymusic]

please please please check out our little cover of this song.. can't promise it'll be any good, but it's a different take on the song... have a listen :) thanks! x

[jkshergill]

@rosieemilymusic Well, I did. I thought it was pretty good and you have really strong voices! Florence would be proud.. I think! :)

[rosieemilymusic]

@jkshergill awww thank you so much!! :)

[lydia3030]

h20 brought me here

[sparklingtapper3]

i need a free download of this song. :)

u should send me one

[roofboy179]

@sparklingtapper3 99 cents on iTunes, 79p if you're from the UK. Definitely worth and you're supporting the artist. Just go buy it.

[undesirable0]

So jealous of her voice, this woman is amazing!

[ErinRosamondBlack]

She went to my school!

[lildorck1]

@ErinRosamondBlack tats soo cool!!!!!! what was she like!??!?!?!

[ErinRosamondBlack]

@lildorck1 well she was in sixth form when I joined the school so I didn't really know her, but according to my music teacher Miss Gardner she was always singing in class and she wore weird hats and stuff! XD

[lildorck1]

@ErinRosamondBlack damn! i would lov to meet her one day

[rosieemilymusic]

just uploaded a little cover of this song... obviously it wont be anywhere near as good as the original, but it's a different take on it.. so please have a quick listen would be much appreciated :) :) thanks! x

[heyyJMC19]

1:08-1:25 and 2:15 on reminds me of La Roux.

[aaronfuegopop]

ah my god i lover her style its just so weird and perfect!!!

[HappyBirthdaySANTA]

best voice i've heard since evanescence... cant believe it's been so long between great singers. the musical industry is dieing

[im8teennow]

this song tells the story of my life.

[CastBuddies]

was this used in alice in wonderland? if not it shouldve been xD

[maritsamara]

can anyone tell me what does she mean????what's the meaning??

[drawingjoey]

@maritsamara The actual meaning has to do with putting your all into what you do and committing yourself fully, but the lyrics are allusions. Lambs are represented widely as sacrifice, and king midas is mythological king that turns everything he touches to gold. So its kind of about offering herself as a sacrifice

[seafire3271]

This could be a cool theme if they ever remake Goldfinger....

[Graciey101]

im murdering the reply button ;)

[mezner13]

I can't get enough of this song. So catchy!!! I've played it like 12 times in a row.

[SierraLovesUU]

i have yet to find a florence and the machine song that i dont like :]

[sarsan207]

What a beautiful song... Makes me think of Supernatural, too, which is always a good thing for me XD

[AnanasX3]

Her voice is incredibly strong and beautiful!

[lovers2013]

i am a rabbit hearted girl, but i strive to be a lion hearted girl.

[EpikHater]

We've been watching Food Inc. in my Food for Fitness class. For some reason, this song represents, to me, what the animals in the big factories are going through.

[TheFredlovers123]

The vocals are so hard to control..that's what i like about it.she chose her own style

[EpikHater]

At first I thought this song was stupid... but I can't help it. I've listened to this, like, 6 times. I think I pretty much love any song with her voice in it. Srsly, d00d.

[animepl0x]

Shes my second favorite artist :3

Beatles being the first.

I have a thing for british artists xD<3

[MyDogDaysareOver]

@animepl0x Me and you are twins or something? :D

[pinKstarzx]

Im going to sing this for my Britains Got Talent Audition, bitches watch me bullies hate me

[iRoleplaya]

So, so, strange.... And extremely addicting. I can't stop listening to it. <3 You go, Florence! Don't stop being weird! We love ya the way you are.

[lydia3030]

@iRoleplaya lol ikr 

[crazybaby123456]

My favourite florence and the machine song ;D <3

[edwardcullenfreak100]

I LOVE FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[indierockerxx]

Haha. The song's amazing anyways. Stoned or sober. (:

[DuckyLove987654321]

I love Florence + The Machines.....

There ability to show that amount of emotion through the instramentals her voice and the lyrics is quit simply amazing!

Her voice makes me want too go out and create something.

They are one of the best ive ever heard!

[EyeFangirlLife]

I was listening to this on my 40 mile drive to work the other day, and it was pounding through the speakers, and my windows were open, and it was a perfectly warm day, and I just felt so incredibly content and inspired that I wanted to laugh hysterically for no real reason except that I could.

LOL, obviously I felt super crazy, but that's just what this band does to me.

[MyOwnDamnOpinion]

I love Florence + The Machine!! It's my favorite band in the world. This is one of my favorite songs.

[AoifeL93]

@MyOwnDamnOpinion She's not a band! :) But i totally agree, she's unbelievable!

[AnanasX3]

@AoifeL93 she is a band she's got like three guys playing music while she sings you daunts/ignorant numskull !X3

[shardhazelapple]

@AnanasX3 actually she is a single artist the people playing music are her backing band rather than an actual band the members change notice how you can't google the members
