This is a Great song, had it saved in my favorites for quite some time, but...why all the sudden the author of this peticular post "Gavanozis" has now made this "unavailable" to anyone with an Apple iPhone...what are you trying to Boycott Apple...you are a complete F'ing LOSER!!!
Since the band is from England it only makes sense to pay tribute to fellow English people who suffered tragically. Gotta love deep cryptic music that Florence often sings about. Life, death, madness, love, passion. She shows that we should embrace what all those things bring to us. Love you Flo!
This song is about the death of Virginia Woolf. An English author who went mad and took her own life by filling her overcoat with rocks and walked into a river. She wanted to spare her beloved husband the pain of her madness the second time around. Wonderful song.
@dreamsoflove15 Just compare it with some of her great songs ("Cosmic Love" or "Girl with one eye")
For my taste, this song is totally dumb and superfluous. Ok - I admit that it's getting better when she stops to sing this awful refrain. But a few hard riffs don't make a song.
@ShIrAyOrU I read on the song meanings website that Florence said it's partially about that painting, but it's also a reference to the author Virginia Woolf who put stones in her pockets and drowned herself!
Any matters of proficiency are overshadowed by the intricate and complex blend of profound poetry, exact rhythmic motifs, and her soul. As a classically-trained soprano and private instructor of both academic-minded and commercially -goaled students, I can say with certainty that Florence is a SUPERB storyteller and her instrument (with all it's human flaws, conditions, and approaches) is ethereal. BRAVA, Florence!
I feel like this song is different than the original. Did you change the pitch per change? That, or just different accompaniment. Like I'm pretty sure there's different instruments playing than the version on vevo, for example. Where'd you get this version from?
