she's so amazinggggggg.. @TheVirtualTycoon , I agree, no credit ever goes to the musicians in these instances. Definitely props to him and her in this performance!
The guitarist is amazing. He does a great job of complimenting her feelings. This song would be nothing without him. What is his name? She's great, and he's great too.
I think his name is Rob Akroyd, but its hard to make him out in this vid. He is usually the one on guitar at the shows now and wrote the Bird song intro.
@TheVirtualTycoon Actually, the song would be nothing without her. :P Rob is good, but saying that it would be nothing without him is over the top. That's why it's called 'Florence and The Machine'.
just discovered her ... and with every song i get more and more confused ... no, i dont have a clue what these lyrics are about, or the lyrics of the 5 songs bevore.... but somehow i really like it ...
i may just have to think about her a little longer...
Free inexhaustible energy is real!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
@ShesaBlessing The lyrics are " I took a knife and cut out her eye/I took it home and watched it wither and die." I'm not sure if this means whether the singer blinded the girl, or whether 'eye' is a metaphor for something else...'

ive listened to it a few times & think it could be about a girl who tries to steal another girls man;
a "pretty little thing " puts her "filthy fingers" in someone else's "pie" (pie referring to the taken man).. this makes the other girl cry & as revenge/to stop this girl from looking at her man in that way, she cuts the little girls eye out. because of the hurt the girl caused, she needs to watch her back, which is why she sleeps with her one eye open.
@sjharper1818 it was actually written by a band called Rum Shebeen that Florence used to gig with, but the band are all lads, so I dunno if it could be about stealing someone elses man...
@sjharper1818 It was originally sung by an all male punk band so, although I understand your idea. I doubt that is/was the original meanings of the lyrics.
@shazzycat3449 A band called The Ludes wrote it. She used to sing with them sometimes and she was a big fan of them. The Ludes never recorded the track though.
If you love Florence and you're a diehard raver, or just mildly interested in dance music,theres a chance you might just enjoy our Ravey Florence remixes. (That chance is considerably smaller if you dont like remixes however...)
ohh i forgot kate nash! love her loads too!!!!! thank you for the nice comment! i like all the stuff my mum and dad and older brother listen too as well, cuz of all the good memories like listening to muse when we are in the car and stuiff - ooh and i like katie melua! :)
I disagree. PJ Harvey is exceptional don't get me wrong, but I think Florence and her are entirely different in terms of both voice and style. Personally, I'd go with the beautiful Flo. X
her finger thing is kinda nuts but you can really see the emotion on her face. Her expression when shes singing about cutting her heart out cuz she made her cry is almost childlike. she is AMAZING.
the passion is amazing, it just makes it so believable
