The refrain lacks any kind of power because she's singing it allmost an octave lower than on the studio version, really anticlimatic and quite pathetic too because its really not that high a refrain, any alto voice should be able to handle it.
@Filislusk That’s because on the studio version, it is thick with about three different harmony melody lines that have been layered up. I’ve never heard a live version of her singing its highest harmony, despite being so incredible, except in a video of her singing it in a studio recording.
YouTube “Florence And The Machine - Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) Live With Lyrics” and turn it up at 2:21.
@KiriBenner7 LOL I thought it was just me who notice that she is a bit "out there" during her concerts. I mean that in a good way of course. I have seen her take sips of beverages during most of here smaller concerts and it doesn't look like water. LOL
I almost get the feeling that she might have some kind of issue and maybe needs the "liquid courage" because during her interviews she seems unusually timid.
I guess all the greats have issues that make them great.
@Catchafanala yes she is, take a look at her performance of blinding of this concert. at the end she is really losing herself and that's something what makes me happy to see how an artist is losing kind of control...I hope you know what I mean
Love this band, they need to come to the US ASAP. What talent! Just Awesome, the creativity, symbolism, and occult like feeling is absent in this country. Imagine if they had a concert budget like a Britney Spears?
It's great to see an artist who can have fun with her music, she puts some effort into putting on a memorable performance without extreme theatrics, and even if her voice is a little inconsistent it's still expressive and great to listen to. In this case, I think it actually contributes a lot to the song, her voice sounds gentler and fragile, which goes along with the meaning behind the metaphorical lyrics about her career.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
although the song itself is great and the studio version is really beautiful, florence doesn't have a good voice and her live performances do not live up to what she presents on her records.
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...)
I have met Florence on several occasions from when they first started out doing small gigs all over england, and I can assure you that she is a redhead, tho not bright orange, and if you check some early footage on youtube you will see that, however, its a small matter, not worth arguing over, suffice to say the band are excellent and would be even if she was a baldilocks, Lol, cheers mate. x
I want to see her live! I missed her at Glastonbury :( I think she deserves to be put on a bigger and better stage though, John Peel isn't a very big stage, I saw Just Jack on it and he had no room to move :S
I love how into the performance the audience is. A lot of her live performances didn't have such an enthusiastic group of onlookers like these guys. The band deserves that kind of zeal from the audience. Just saying.
You know what I just realized? If the people in the audience were to sing the chorus the way the melody is on the album, Florence is singing a harmony.
You're lucky.. i live in LA and i have to rely on BBC to hear anything decent on the radio! I've been listening to Florence for a long ass time, my friends are FINALLY getting it.. She's so innovative, melodies are amazing.. everhthing is done with intensity.. this is REAL music
Go to radio 1 @ ibiza rocks 2009 on this click on it then in the scroll on the right you will get her singin candi staton's you got the love it is amazing!!!
Look at what track listing this song is at: Number 11. She had already sang 11 songs before this and couldnt go all out or she'd make her vocal chords sore and wouldnt be able to sing at her next gig!
Wish I could have seen this. I love this live version of the song. Maybe they should expand it though :) With enough acute variations, this could easily carry for 15mins. Personally I would love every second, which is surprising because the album version is a bit too frilly for my taste. Brilliant song though, and to think they nailed it live is an incredible feat.
