Florence and the Machine - Dog Days are Over (BBC introducing)

[adeewuff]

She's singing her heart out. Simple as that!

[Jhail83]

@allenrw3 That must be a talented goat then!

[allenrw3]

ugh she sounds like a goat that was hit upside the head with a baseball bat.

[Starshoot555]

She is so talented. She has so much soul. Not only can you tell she's singing well but she is also feeling the music . And her voice, is so unique. She was born to sing !

[BEL19VE13]

Yep, I'm officially in love with her.

[vyzerr]

So very awesome

[BEL19VE13]

She feels the music so strongly. I love it.

[NiePatrzSieTutaj]

I would love a piano lesson from that girl :)

[bloo3055]

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back!!! :D

[Phlafoo]

And that's what you call passionate music! Luvs dis song! -3

[TECnIT09]

@ThePeacefulSkye, WTF are you blind as well as deaf, do you think artists like Leona Lewis can sit there and be so in tuned the music that they move their bodies to every note hit by the instruments being played behind her, that she can still sing a perfect pitched song, that they can stand in front of a crowd and allow themselves to become so vulnerable and raw that moves everyone, by the looks of it you have absolutely no appreciation for REAL artists and your nothing but a teeny bopper.

[ezzeqiel96]

@ThePeacefulSkye you can sing good?

[ThePeacefulSkye]

You guys are so dumb. She has soul? No-one can compare with her? Amazing? This woman hasn't a note in her head, how can you people think she can sing? Watch her with her arms up in the air, she thinks shes brilliant-SHES SHIT.

[pulsejet1]

@ThePeacefulSkye compared to what?

[ThePeacefulSkye]

@pulsejet1 what?

[ThePeacefulSkye]

@pulsejet1 what do u mean compared to what.

[pulsejet1]

@ThePeacefulSkye You say she can't sing, that she hasn't a note in her head, that she's shit.

I ask....compared to what? You must have a standard by which you are measuring correct?

[ThePeacefulSkye]

@pulsejet1 compared to anyone who can.

[pulsejet1]

@ThePeacefulSkye Yes, that clears things right up. Glad your statement is so well defined.

[ThePeacefulSkye]

@pulsejet1 Right so, smart arse, compared to females who actually can sing in tune, without whining and wailing like a banshee. (eg. Beyonce, Leona Lewis (who sang pitch perfect on x factor EVERY SINGLE TIME), Hayley Williams, Amy Lee, Joanna Newsom (sings unusually but in tune) etc. )

[XxTwiPiresxX]

@ThePeacefulSkye did it ever occur to you that half of them were lip syncing?

[kashmir87]

@ThePeacefulSkye wow, I really don't get you. I agree that in many live performances Florence tends towards wailing instead of concentrating on hitting the notes and she could be more disciplined with her singing, but saying abusive shit just makes you look rude and ignorant.

[kashmir87]

@ThePeacefulSkye And as for your list, just goes to show perfect pitch isn't everying. It doesn't matter how well Leona Lewis or Hayley Williams can sing - their songs are unlistenable rubbish. By contrast, Joanna Newsom writes amazing songs and that is why even her Milk-Eyed Mender-era squawk can be endearing. And this is also why Florence wins - her music is great, couldn't give a fuck that she goes banshee-off-key sometimes.

[SpandexOrDeath]

@ThePeacefulSkye I'm fairly certain all of these are very talented singers. I know of half of those you mentioned, some are better, some are worse. The "wailing like a banshee" you speak of is just her type of singing. Also, I hope you realize nobody is agreeing with you here, so please gtfo.

[pikanite]

@ThePeacefulSkye You are what is know as, SHIT.

She has so much soul than anyone. She loves her music, she is passionate now look where she is. BETTER THAN YOU WILL EVER BE.

[clairemanso]

cute



[materialgrl47]

Wow this is one of the best performances of dog days are over by florence. WELL DONE FLO!

[XilusCrenshaw]

Love this chick.

[eddierey220]

This is her best performance bar none

[Mangokitten173]

Love her...

[MrKarltonn]

Adele and Florence should sing together!! xD

[DogFreak2007]

This is freaking amazing, and never once have I heard it on the radio. Guess my local stations are too busy deciding which Black Sabbath song to play next...=\

[mrktwn]

Geez, I geuss. It almost seems like a parody of itself. I don't get it.

[maxclatters]

@mrktwn Are you an idiot?

[Pfin8]

Absolutely incredible.

[gamizuco]

This is the best live version of this song. By far.

[patimek]

Run fast for your mother, fast for your father

Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers

Leave all your love and your longing behind

You cant carry it with you if you want to survive!!

[Iason100]

This is what happens when the industry hires something who actually has a great voice. Don't let people with bad voices become professional singers, and the music in the world will be much better. We need more people like Florense and Adele and the like.

[musicmelli]

@Iason100 have you ever heard lady gaga acoustic? she's got a voice, you just cant hear it on her tracks. which makes the music stupid, i get it, but doesnt mean she isnt talented.

[ticianocordeiro]

Mesma música do lançamento do iPad 2.

Só que a da Apple e apenas orquestrada.

[wojtbb]

this is how you live music

[missbennett45]

Saw them last night beginning for U2 great show and loved this song at the beginning great way to start off the show

[kissalemon]

Love it:)

[MtBeat28]

Beautiful I love U Florence!!!!!!! Would you like marrie with me? XD

[solarisoida]

this is GREAT!!

i miss old performances(

[bdon616]

Just saw her perform this song on the Colbert Report and really wish she performed the song like this. The band had a completely different energy before they became a mainstream success. I miss the old Florence + the Machine. :(

[lysolbombs470]

@bdon616

Agree 100%.

[CataSalazar]

She is just so impressive! No one compares to her!

[LuizCerbino]

the perfect voice i have ever heard :D thumbs up for florence's angelical voice.

[TheDustinash]

Best version. This is the energy of this song

[elzan88]

Wow!

[staceyrsteele]

Beautiful singer, songwriter and doesn't give a shit with how she looks; when she's swept up by the music it shows she is a REAL singer, not some manufactured bimbo!!!

[TeamPuzzle15]

@kirkheads: totally agree with you!

[TeamPuzzle15]

@kirkheads

[Marlens93]

she's my heroine, in both senses

[kirkheads]

What's with everyone wondering why she's shaking her hands, my goodness. It's beautiful. But I guess you all are youngins and have only seen choreographed little brittany spears crap. I come from the Guns And Roses era where that is normal because they're letting the music flow through them, and they're not so worried about doing cute leg kicks.

[TheUrbanPineapple]

People, she wasnt shaking her hands cuz she was jittery or something, she was conducting (albeit not that well)

[richardlovesmusic1]

12 YEAR OLD JUST KILLS THIS SONG "DOG DAYS' Awesome! Check it out.

Search Youtube for this title " The Dog Days Are Over - Janai Faherty "

You will love!!!1

[HendrixMusicAcademy1]

Amazing talent! Love it! Love her! Love them!

[Adestimare]

epic... just epic <3

[Adestimare]

just... just epic <3

[scorpio4422]

This song is actually about her grandma suicidin becaz of grief thro her grandpas death really nice song tho

[mctuffington]

Great singer and a great song! Music has become an autotune train wreck. Nowadays to become an "artist" you just need to howl nonsense into a microphone and dance around pretending to be strait so teenage girls will buy your turd of an album. It's nice to find someone who really sings and cares about the content of her songs!

[frasian78]

this video owns the "official" music video.

[drewcunningham28]

What's with all the commenting with her conducting/dancing? I showed this video to my friend and he thought it was dumb because that's the only thing he paid attention to. Of course he really doesn't have a good taste in music so...that could be part of it.

[AutumnWillow17]

@ PocSnigo, um yeah, it's called conducting and dancing...... Ever heard of it? Wow.. So ignorant lmao

[antispaz]

She doesn't have tourette's or parkinsons... she has fucking soul. That is what it looks like to be a part of your own music... and to be singing something that you wrote from heart... not something that somebody else wrote for your voice. Quit listening to bullshit and find something that touches you on a more intimate level.

[22HMAC22]

@antispaz very well put!!



[theskyisround]

@antispaz Amazing definition of what is Florence.

[MissWolfiee]

This Song Is Always In My Head, ... /:-

[prismaable]

Hasta se me enchina la piel!!!! Ella definitivamente canta con pasión.

[iMunky]

also glee sucks ass if you heard this song through glee go fuck yourselves because glee is a terrible show god damn gleeks and no im not a hipster hipsters are fucking retarded too if not more

[iMunky]

no you know what if you cant tell she's keeping the tempo and thinks she's shaking, has parkinson's, tourettes, or some other stupid shit then i'm sorry to break it to you but you're retarded

[iMunky]

she's keeping the tempo and dancing something almost looks like shes conducting

also it looks natural to me i think she might be dancing too

[PocSnigo]

what the hell? lmao she got tourettes or something shes shaking like crazy!

[MumfordsSon]

LOL the drummer at 3:29

[chosenone990]

Probobly one of my fav songs

[Tacoflavoredkiss1]

Right when the video started, I already started crying. I already know its going to be beautiful.

[meanbatt]

The energy with which she performs is simply awe inspiring !

[casperld]

Wow. Amazing, that's all I can really say.

[Purple692009]

She is simply beautiful!

[pelodelperro]

Just amazing. Her voice and her singing are simply beautiful.

[hugofrae13]

I LOVE YOU

Although I must admit the acoustic version is better

I wish I could sing well.

[GinandWeedRule]

This is better than the studio version! XD

[krylon2009]

I think I'm falling in love...My girlfriends got herself some competition. ;]

[LiesLiessable]

what a voice

[lukecfg]

unreal. every performance of Dog Days I find is more impressive than the last

[matheussaleme]

That's what I call "Musical Feeling"

[iespa2009]

I have no words. No words. No words I'M BRAND NEW after that.

[kwestromusic]

Florence And The Machine – Dog Days Are Over (Kwestro Rmx)

kwestro. com/?p=326

[mussleandclams]

i think every artist should take notice...beautiful music minus computers.

[cockardo]

@mussleandclams

What beautiful music has ever had computers? haha.

Brilliant performance.

[eerawb]

She is so incredibly beautiful.

[gregarious24]

Wow.

[joelrulesall]

shes almost as odd of a performer as Maynard from Tool

[CarlGorn]

FINALLY, a version of this song where somebody remembered to insulate against echos! Every other version made her sound like she was singing in an airplane hanger(including album rips). It annoyed me to no end, and sounded so cheesy, like she was trying to hard to wring loneliness out of the stanzas. It's nice to hear everything naked & clear of noise in the channel.

[scottboss64]

wow

[cupidsdaughter17]

i cant believe glee covered this song

what the HELL are they doing

cant compare with florence

ever

[CarlGorn]

@cupidsdaughter17 Psst, they're picking a great song.

Sure, none of the characters can match Flo's powerhouse low notes, but Jenna Ushkowitz's(Tina, the Asian-American girl) sultry, smokey alto adds a poignancy to the stanzas that Flo either doesn't have the range for, or for some reason doesn't choose to go for. Paired with Amber Riley's "chocolate thunder" (Mercedes Jones' words, not mine), and they do a credible job with the song. Not the original, but far from garbage.

[eceyes]

@cupidsdaughter17 that girl and the rest of them who try to cover the song sounded like total piece of shit i hate them for doing that

[sickofwaitingtables]

@cupidsdaughter17

Agree. Glee sucks.

[thisoneg1rl]

@cupidsdaughter17, Glee covered this song? How highly affronting!

[alexkarevluvr12]

@cupidsdaughter17 I was so angry about that.

[LeFootalier]

@cupidsdaughter17 they're in the business of making money. They make all they can, and can all they make. Its show biz

[chazillah]

@cupidsdaughter17 I just listened to the glee version. I shuddered. it's florence's voice that makes her music so warm and rich...

[TheEndmills]

@cupidsdaughter17 The fuck you talkin' about? Florence sucks dick.

[emilydastrangegirl]

@cupidsdaughter17 Oh my goodness I feel the exact same way. I was so upset when I found out about that because her stuff is so raw and pure and they're just flat out crap.

[Lifewhisperer]

@cupidsdaughter17

Loved Glee's cover.  It was different enough to not just sound like Kareoke. It was a homage to Florence's fabulous vocals and this uniquely amazing song. Don't compare. Just enjoy! :-)

[NikolausMonroe740]

You can rip the audio-mp3 of this clip at grabyourmp3 doht cohm.

[phishbutter]

Let the camera shot rest for a bit!!! We miss the celebrated moments when she dances.

[nairblink]

hey the guitarist has a epiphone?!

[PhouFoo]

@nairblink yes.

[bradbrook60]

wow. i forgot how absolutely amazing she is

[DJBL1Ss]

This is the soundtrack, to the last three years of my dreamlife. "like a train" happiness hits me like a bullet in the back, which was gonna be my first tattoo. The artist said something like, " A pretty lil lady like you, shouldn't get a bullet wound, tattooed on your back. That's ugly." I think I told him, "Life can get ugly, you just gotta put the bad behind you. The dog days ARE definiTELY over. My love and happiness grows, exponentially. Thank God for loved ones!

[sparks199]

@DJBL1Ss Good for you!

[xmaswak]

Love

[toomuchtohadel]

perfect

[thing944]

I want to know so fucking bad what the chords are that Rob is playing.

[AwhatsamattaU]

my favorite live clip by far great band ...who wants to see my wang?

[yammamy]

wow. She's amazing live, even better in the video. It's so real and inspiring, unlike all that pop auto tuner crap we see and hear on the charts today.

Screw all those pop singers who only make money out of singing about women, sex and money, the blasting tunes.

This is the real deal. And what we should listen to way more often. :)

Thank you Florence for bringing in real music.

[IsenhourPig]

best version by far

[akSTARDUSTka]

Такая энергия!Такой заряд!Невероятно  эффектная группа,музыка и тексты!

[dylan0010]

Holy crap, she's so cute!

I'm like mesmerized by her lmao.

And it helps that she has an amazing voice.

[misty1366]

I could watch this a million times. She has such passion for what she is singing. I love her!

[0livia0live]

Oooo!!! I like her voice even more live. :D

[PolyMoog19]

@agumon51 No, I just like Volvo's.

[gaiagoldX]

I was mad after listening to this I'm happy :D I feel bi polar now.

[Gagamunster1199]

[DaveWavebytheSea]

I swear to god that redhead is mesmerizing!

[Archie23rulz]

OMF, in case you missed it -- that was live. They're good.

[PolyMoog19]

@SakuraGirl1987 volvos are my favorite.

[XXDJXXREDUE7]

[awsumpersonx3]

Is this song about horses or dogs? o.o

[exfactor003]

whoa, she looks so much younger here than on the VMAs.

[Umi097]

She has such a powerful voice. The songs catchy n real good!

[ThePianoguy89]

Beautiful strong voice! Is she a spinto soprano?

[02justSAY]

[noslen2010]

[GoldfishGrape]

No one, nothing is better, than Florence Welch.

Long Live Florence

[sogrungey]

She sounds...identical to the recording...no better.

Man, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE?!

[sogrungey]

Amazing. 

[PotOrBust]

seizing while singing never looked so cute.

[mcgreezy83]

The only other singer I can remember getting this into a song is Thom Yorke, she is a freakin legend

[betch22187]

love this song.....she kinda reminds me of janis joplin

[meraphox]

this looks much clearer on an iphone

[SupaSpenny4]

Great voice live, she does seem a little loopy though :P

[XguitarrockerX]

Her voice is extremely powerful and bright, her look is really natural and she kind of makes me fall in love with her haha

[Sweggles]

Marry me, that is all.

[jdanie3]
