both versions are equally good, but when performed live Florence >>> CWK. Sorry, but I've yet to come across a performance where Nathan sings it with as much soul and passion as he does on the album version. Granted, I've only watched a handful of CWK performances, but in none of them do they do justice to their album.
i started listening to is and i thought man this is going to be shit.. then i replayed it again. and again. and again... ad now im hooked! she is truly addictive and magical!
@bschoe2 if u new anything about florence, ud no tht she DUZ make her own music and it is the most beautiful thing ud ever hear. but u obviously no nothing about her, her work, or good music so stop talking.
@mikiblooeyez if you knew anything about the English language, you'd know you are an idiot. You've Got the Love, Halo, and this are all some of her "best songs" but the reason they're so good is because some one else wrote them that way.
@spearmintythang exactly! HER songs are the best. Sure, she covers songs, but who doesnt like to experiment??? shes very creative and shes an amazing singer.
this is cool because its a cover and it sounds a little different than the original, and she sings really good too.... but nothing beats the orignal. look up.. Cold War Kids- "Hospital Beds".
omg, florence welch, i love you! you covered my FAVORITE cold war kids song ever, thank you and thanks for being such an amazing badass singer with so much raw talent!
@RiclistLature where is the tenderness; well first of all its subjective, secondary its a song about death a subjact that some would say is deeply "tender", perhaps you should be tested for some sort of emotional deficiancy?? you obviosily have some sort of problem defining emotion, tosser
@jumanjibill lol. very colorful reply. i agree music and personal feelings are subjective. that being said, making assumptions about my person in the form of insults seem incredibly pointless. im saying this version of the song is emotionless, youre saying its full of emotion. we disagree. there's nothing more to it bill.
@RiclistLature you ask "where's the tendernous" making no mention at all of the way she sings, im sorry i dont read minds. secondly tht was nt an insult im genuinly worried, what u are saying clearly indicates to me the possibilty that you may be an emotionless psychopath (i work as a psychiatrist) and this has very serios implications for the safety of u and those arnd you. please i urge you SEE A DOCTOR as this is a beautifully tender song (which others recognise) and if u cnt see tht your ill
@jumanjibill, that would be a possible assumption if i were indeed talking about the SUBJECT of the song being emotionless but again (and for the last time [so pay attention]) i was talking about this singers (whom you obviously like very much) rendition. we disagree. your "professional" opinion is baseless; and calling me a "tosser" is an insult in case you were confused. stop defending your childish reply with your supposed unbiased "professional" opinion.
look you go around making yourself feel big by leaving disparaging comments on other peoples BELIEFS, nice. Realistically as i said in the first place it is subjective, you began this fanciful idiotic debate about a non debatable subject therefore i think your an idiot thus i insult you. also even an idiot would realise that your initial comment was nothing more than a snide remark from a sad man with nothing better to do and could easily be perceived as a direct attempt to undermine/insult me.
@jumanjibill another colorful reply. this was never a debate; but instead a difference of opinion. and how does me questioning the singers relationship to the lyrics of this beautiful song make me a "sad man"? or is that just another "professional" opinion...now, subjectivity is exactly my point. IMO this rendition is not tender. childish name calling is exactly that bill. maybe you should consider attending anger management classes before you hurt yourself or someone around you.
Debate: a formal contest in which the affirmative and negative sides of a proposition are advocated by opposing speakers, this was a debate, and have begun reusing my arguments, look what makes you soo sad is that you take it upon yourself to malign the opinion of others (indicitve of an inferiority complex) this is not neccessary find another outlet, this "debate" is over
I ramble, talk too much, boast about garbage and such, find myself falling out of the ladies man role and into the really too tired to go after it anymore, became the best friend (with regards to a special someone) and never felt better about this monetary accomplishment, spit criticism where criticism is due, give praise where praise need be, and gobble it up like thanksgiving (but like t-day, feel sick afterwards).
