- His songs give me goosebumps, it's magic. She leaves the pool all his daughters. It's a pity we hear it a lot (at least in Belgium) on TV & the radio. (Excuse my English medium)
@WithJuliyenne mdr votre traduction est drôle. Vous avez dites qu'il (au lieu de "elle") laisse toute ses filles dans la piscine (?) et en plus que c'est dommage qu'on l'entend beaucoup à la télé et à la radio, mais on comprend l'essentiel de votre commentaire.
- Ses chansons me donne la chair de poule , elle est magique . Elle sort du commun de toutes ses filles . C'est dommage qu'on l'entend pas beaucoup ( en tout cas en Belgique ) à la télé & a la radio .
I told my mum that if I had a funeral that this would be the song I wanted to have played - she immediately got really concerned! Not saying I wanted to die or anything! (Although I had felt pretty shit over the passed few weeks) It just had those perfect harmonies and heart-stopping lyrics that were powerful enough to send someone on their way in the most beautiful way imaginable.
Florence Welch is truly the most talented artist alive right now. She is so passionate about her music, it's impossible not to feel something when listening to her sing. I cried the first time I heard her sing and I've been hooked ever since. All of her songs reach me on an emotional level that no other artist ever has.
@Abbytater He's an actor from the Vampire Diaries (Klaus) and Ben Hur (Ben Hur ;)). Don't know if you know one of these. You can find him on Google ;)
I like to think she is singing me a lullably, her voice is so pure and real it makes my heart ache. This is why we come back to her! She could sing anything and I would be emotionally drained.
This is REAL quality music. Not like much of the mainstream that will be forgotten in a couble of years. This will be just as amazingly gooooooood in 20 years or longer! :) Loooove Florence!!
@Svrt90 ...i agree with you on Rihanna because she has no talent....my opinion...but don't dis Beyonce'.. Florence and Beyonce' are TWO different genres..but both are equally talented
What to do with this woman ? All of her acoustic performances are far better than the studio versions. I just think about the uselesness of the german army. They could chase away all of the idiotic musical consultants, the studio murk prodúcers, the choirs ...etc.
And then everything will be fine ! A Florence accompanied by a guitar and a harp. This will create a lot of musical jewels ! An I will pay my taxes for the german army without regret in the future :-)
the funny thing about liking or disliking music, art, poetry and etc., are, just a few years ago I would NEVER have considered listening to F+M or even reading my wife's poetry....but with time we change through life's experiences inside and we see a connection to other's work and points of views...
WHAT I TRULY ,truly love about this amazing woman besides her voice , beauty and captivating lyrics, her grace and poise on any stage , because she doesnt have to dress like a stripper or a meatball sandwich to tantalize the crowd , long liVe FATM !
First of all, you're commenting on a youtube where no-one really values your opinion but yourself, and I highly doubt that Florence herself is even going to see it. Your argument is really useless.
By the way, I love it how people post a nasty, criticising comment like they've been personally targeted and offended. She's making money, you're not.
there are three songs on the new album , that concern drowning , her basis for the songs were Virginia Wolf w eighing herself down with stones and walking into the ocean and drowning herself , she was a prominent novelist in her day , when men were considered to be the only viable writer,s , florence has become obsessed with drowning, unfortunely well or not ! peace out flofans
To everyone who's arguing about whether or not Florence Welch can sing: some of the best musicians are not technically great singers. Bob Dylan? Neil Young? Really, her vocal imperfections are part of what maker such a wonderful artist to experience. She might not be everyone's cup of tea, but as for me -- I'll listen to this sorceress sing anything.
This chimp ruined the comments portion of this video. Thanks for that. Genius has to prove to a bunch of strangers that he has some understanding of music that no one else seems to get. All this person succeeded in is proving that he/she is painfully ignorant and self important. Congratulations. Go away. Ty.
@hellothereitsjustme I think it's quite the opposite... as if she succeeded finding something or someone like a lover in whose arms she can rest, at last... but I never happened to look at it this way, so I'm going to think about it in a new way... thanks! ;)
@MrGermonte interesting...I guess you're an optimist and I'm a pessimist lol...I listened again and can see that it could be as you say, too. I was thinking of it as being literally about drowning in the ocean...due to the previous song's references to Virginia Woolf-style death by drowning (with pockets full of stones)...
@hellothereitsjustme Well, this is what Art (and I think their works ARE Art) is supposed to cause: discussion about different points of view, with none of them to be the right one... xD
@hellothereitsjustme FLORENCE stated that she is a bit obsessed with drowning ,"what the water gave me and this song is about Virginia Woolfe ,who became depressed and filled her pockets full of stones and walked into the ocean and drowned herself , mid 1800,s i believe ,you can wikipedia woolfe and read the story ,quite interesting and sooo sad , but her reference to find a place to rest my head ,as the water washes over me , eery
@LESWILDBILL1 yes, this is what lead me to conclude that this song, too is about suicide by drowning. I love Virginia Woolf, especially "the waves"...and have always been touched by her battle with mental illness and then her suicide. Can relate. That's why this song makes me cry every time...
@hellothereitsjustme wow , how eerily cool that would be , florence is such a well read woman for her age , i imagine half the people that listen to her have no idea how deep her lyrics really are . thx for posting
What a boring audience if I was in her presence I would be gawking and gushing and probably dying.
