Florence + The Machine - Sky Full Of Song (Lyrics)
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
From what I've seen so far, the good ones always seem to break
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger from way across the sea
And I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene
Oh, the heart it hides such unimaginable things
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly, but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
And I can tell that I'm in trouble when that music starts to play
In a city without seasons, it keeps raining in LA
I feel like I'm about to fall, the room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens but I cannot walk away
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly, but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (Shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Hold me down, I'm too tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (Shoot, shoot, shoot)
And take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire) - Hudba
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before
I'm crying. The Goddess is back
She’s a real life siren. I could drown and die in her voice and I wouldn’t fight it.
same here
Karliene Ssssssshhhhhhhh, she is an endangered species, the less that know that secret the better.
You and Florence are Siren sisters. I love your music too!
Cole - 6 million views already I think it 's too late for "less that know" haha
I feel like her voice is more of a wave that carries you back to shore 🌊
“And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me” - manifesting childhood trauma into adult relationships with other men (pffffft that one little sentence literally came for me) Florence is a real poet and one of the few modern artists who communicates words like an angel. When I was 13 I heard Dog Days for the first time and it painted my adolescence now 22 this song has me weeping! she’s able to make me feel so much in such a small space of time because her voice takes you away. I have a feeling Florence’s music will probably get me through this lifetime- welcome back fairy queen here’s to another book of songs.🌷
I never related more to a comment
Hi falloutgirl902,
Hope you are well.
It gets better...you have more power than you will ever realize.
CZcams never notified me about all these comments and likes- you’re all so sweet! Thank you 😊 x
I've had a dream exactly like this recently-- I was confronting my father about all the trauma he gave me, but then I BECAME my father and someone was confronting me about the traume I gave them- childhood abuse really ruins future relationships through the fear of taking too much after this person and then becoming that person to someone else
I feel the exact same way.
YOU RELEASED THAT WITHOUT TELLING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!?!?!?!?! WOMEN HAVE MERCY OF MY POOR SOUL PLEASE
There were teasers of both, this song and whole album in FATM fan groups on the net.
The goddess has returned
"And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone."
Love can be imagined. The possibility of pure love. It lives in the imagination and hope. It could be anyone if you imagine it to be so. But it's not real no matter how sweet it's waters. Love lives in the growing roots of the earth and not the sky full of songs.
I disagree. All love is real.
i feel like she needs to be loved so much that she doesn't care about where that loves come from. its the feeling of validation that she seeks.
I see it sexual. You just want to be validated and desired and loved and wanted, lusted for. That is the badly. And it doesn't matter who it is, just "anyone" to make you feel GOOD. Make you feel like That.
@@lulou4578 I agree. That's something I can really relate to, so that particular line in the song has always really stood out to me.
Somehow, i feel that everybody see things from the level of his experience... For me, now, that line means hunger for love... Hunger for finding something good and beutiful in anyone.... Not excluding the sexual side... She is a true poet...
If only Florence could know how many people had she saved through her songs. Lungs, Between Two Lungs, Ceremonials-these helped me during the years when I got sick and was in and out of the hospital. HBHBHB was when I was going through a big change in my life. Then High as Hope was during the time I had just been released from the hospital because of my bipolar disorder. Florence (and the Machine) always helped me go through this with her music. They were my emotional crutch.
late to this but 100%. Florence has been critical for helping me cope with PTSD
@@colinmeyers1184 good music 🎶 helps our soul...never too late for that
she knows dep down that she helps others through her music how could she not she is meant to through her songs bless her
Flo gives the blessings and we are blessed 🙌
I’m giving you a hug. Ready? Breath. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Nice hug. I get it from my Mooommaa!
EARTH MOTHER IS BACK!!!!!
Bless it be
DAMN RIGHT!
I was 1000th like
Don’t be ridiculous.
DO BE RIDICULOUS
00:01 me: I love this song
Il Trash di Luigi - HalleLuis ME TOO! 😂😂😂
deus: a
eu: LINDÍSSIMA FALOU TUDO AMÉM
Same!
reminds me of their Final Fantasy EP
thats fucking dope
Thanks for the restart button
That moment when you realize that you weren't flying at all, but you were actually dying and you can't get your shit together to get through it all, so you just wanna lie there...it's OK. You just need a minute's rest and a helping hand. Healing takes time, don't rush it...
Anastasia Tz ❤️
Thank you.
Thank you for writing this 😞☹😢😭❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks ❤️
Perfect way to put it.
This is my dog's favorite song! She's very anxious and when she gets worried about something (usually the loud high school football games a neighborhood over) the only way to calm her down is to play this song while I sing along, lol
aww, your dog has a really good taste in music
I mean, same
thats actually brilliant
i love your dog
How I’ve missed you Florence
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful of what it takes
From what I've seen so far, the good ones always seems to break
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger from way across the sea
And I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene
Oh, the heart it had such and image of unimaginable things
[Chorus]
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
[Post-Chorus]
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie
[Verse 2]
And I can tell that I'm in trouble when that music starts to play
In a city without seasons, it keeps raining in LA
I feel like I'm about to fall, the room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens but I can not walk away
[Chorus]
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
[Post-Chorus]
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie
[Bridge]
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
[Chorus]
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Hold me down, I’m too tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
And take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Paweł Rachwalik amen
Thanks!
thank you so much. How did you know that I'm slightly hearing impaired, and that I was going to find this video? God works in mysterious ways.
Paweł Rachwalik beautiful lyrics.
Aidan Atreides 😊
Her vulnerability and sensitivity is oddly empowering. It looked to me like she was praying throughout.
The small mound of soil in her hand with the shoot in it was so humbling and moving.
We need a new word for honesty for Florence.
"I thought I was flying, but maybe i'm dying tonight". That hit me hard. Anyone that wrestles with addiction can relate
That was my first thought while hearing it. I'm addicted to morphine for 10 years now, this song pretty much describes how it's like.
Recovery is possible.
@@pierdoletoohey, sweetheart, how are you doing now ? Xx
I'm 7 months sober. You can do it too!
Yes,it's me
I never clicked on a new song so quick. I’ve been missing you florence
The ten second silence at the start had me holding my breathe in suspense.
Wow, sounds like a metaphor for my life lmao.
Same 😂
I hate that part

heard for the
1st time in Hospital with pnuemonia, dishchargef with terminal pulmonary fibdosis fibgosis
"Sky Full of Song was inspired by Welch performing on stage. She opened up that she feels an otherworldly sense of being. However, at the same time she feels a sense of loneliness once she starts performing on stage. At times she doesn't know how to enjoy herself and so lets the song take over her being. According to the rollingstone magazine Welch made a statement, that “Sky Full of Song” came to her “fully formed.” She said, “Sometimes when you are performing you get so high, it’s hard to know how to come down. [...] There is this feeling of being cracked open, rushing endlessly outwards and upwards, and wanting somebody to hold you still, bring you back to yourself. It’s an incredible, celestial, but somehow lonely feeling" -from Wiki Page
"And I want you so badly but you could be anyone"
Shit, this hits so true either when you lack friends and just love in your life OR when you have your mind on particular person but know nothing of them
I love that you can understand it in more than one way
This feels so connected to nature. Her songs always are but here, i don't know, I feel connected to the quiet side of nature. Not with the angry waves or loud thunder but maybe with a soft breeze on a flower field.
So true! I feel the same
Could it be becuz of the potted plants?
Lúcia M. Ceremonials is water, the next album is fire.
Ceremonials is water every song is water themed and about drownig wtf are you on???? Never Let Me Go? Heartlines? the water in music videos for Lover to Lover, Spectrum and Breaking Down? WHAT THE WATER GAVE ME? (And the fact the Florence made HBHBHB about leaving the water and drowning/depression themes behind) also Lungs is more so a mix of several elements there are lyrics about Water, Air and Earth in that record, so this next album should be Fire notice the background vocals at the end say "Fire"
How deeply are you sleeping
Or are you still awake?
A good friend told me

Oh, the heart, it hides such unimaginable things
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song

Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
And I can tell that I'm in trouble
When that music starts to play
In a city without seasons
It keeps raining in L.A.
I feel like I'm about to fall
The room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens
But I cannot walk away
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the
Thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In a sky full of song
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (fire)
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (fire)
I remember listening to this song in November 2019 when my mother had just gotten really unwell. Listening to this song in a drab, freezing bench waiting for the bus to come and resisting thoughts of wanting to throw myself into oncoming traffic. I listen to this song now, thinking of her being in too much pain to stay with me, when I'm about to turn 20 and having to make the rest of my life's journey without her. I'm thankful this song helped me to sustain myself here, but I just wish to even have another hour with her, to apologise and to hug her. I miss her so much.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re doing ok.
This just made my day.
Bless you, Florence Welch.
Thank you for your supernatural voice.
The fact that she is not the “cup of tea” of everyone makes her even more special. She doesn’t write commercial songs just to please everyone’s ears or become a summer song artist; she writes music that it is timeless. And she is not afraid of trying new styles and still keep her own brand intact. Long live the Queen!!

Owayess my baby I love you ❤
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me 😵 This line is too deep, I can't cope 😵😵😵
Sky Full Of Song (Lyric)
How deeply I'm sleeping
Oh, I'm still awake
A good friend told me
You've been staying out so late
Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes
What I've seen so far
The good ones always seems to break
I was screaming at my father
And you were screaming at me
I can feel your anger
From way across the sea
I was kissing strangers
I was causing such a scene
Oh the heart it hurts
Such and image of unimaginable things
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie
And I can tell that I'm in trouble
When the music starts to play
And the cities without seasons
It keeps raining in LA
I feel like I'm about to fall
Around begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens
But I can't walk away
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Nekomi Comatose thank you👍
Nekomi Comatose thanks! 💚💚💚💚💚
Nekomi Comatose obrigada 💕
Actually it is: Oh, the heart, it HIDES such unimaginable things
Beautiful
This song is pure fire.
Not regular, burning fire but more like Harrydidyaputyournameinthegobletoffiyah , fire.
Lmao
The first time I heard this on the radio, I had to pull over I was sobbing so hard. It's beautiful. I've read a lot of people's comments who say it captures mental health perfectly and I agree, wholeheartedly. The song you didn't know you needed.
I teared up in the first minute of the song and I can't stop crying now. How can a stranger resonate the turmoil in my soul so clearly? I am hooked now.
Her voice is like rain that hasn't fallen from the clouds yet
It's rare to find artists who stay so pure and true and genuine. I have no words.
Maya Joy We have too many performer/singers these days and not enough true artists (singer/songwriters). Thankfully Florence is hanging in there.
Fucker Del Rio rupaul? Sure...
@@josephgaudet67 tori kelly, taylor swift, kesha, sam smith, jojo, literally so many artists nowadays are amazing songwriters but people fail to notice because they just listen to their hits and never their side tracks
@@josephgaudet67 Listen to AURORA, Agnes Obel, Dodie and many more yet to be noticed
@@gooeyshuga154 Aurora really talented! you know more artists like her?
It's born from the "maybe I've always been more comfortable in chaos" line in St. Jude. The knot it ties on Heavy In Your Arms with "Grab me by my ankles - I've been flying for too long" proves transcendence in her creativity. The orchid as flower could symbolize the maturity and calm she acquired after the storm in the HBHBHB era.
The tune is at this point where melancholy and bliss meet. It doesn't feel like she surrenders in it, it's just "aiming your arrow at the sky" targeting a high ideal (perhaps Hope). It's also existential in a sense with "I thought I was flying, but maybe I'm dying tonight" - urging to live before the fragile and short life is over. I remember an interview where Flo said she wanted "With no Fear and No Regrets" inscribed on her tomb stone.
I kissed a beautiful guy for the first time listening to this in the background on the radio. There was this sound of rushing cars on the highway in the background just like in HBHBHB in The Odyssey. It felt that life was moving on with this kiss. We will never see each other again, but it's a memory I have stored that will be forever reminiscent with this song.
Alex Lungs ❤️ only up and forward from here. Only up and forward.
Alex Lungs this is comment is beautiful
Thanks! It's so kind of you.
This comment articulated everything I didn’t even know about this song (but rather felt it) beautiful. Thank you!
You left me speechless. I feel you.
"Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes
What I've seen so far
The good ones always seems to break"
"I want you so badly, but you could be anyone".
thepatiltwins iconic gem
THAT LINE HUNTY!!! TOUCHED MY SOUL!
It's PERFECT. Her music reaches through my soul like I've never known music before she came along. It's supernatural.
This woman creates a masterpiece every time she opens her mouth. Few artists move me the same way...
after listening to this i just realized that I haven't felt an emotional connection to a song for so long. this just made me feel things again. thank you
I am from 2020 and I'm crying right now.
Florence + The Machine saved 2018
2019 too
florence saved me
After a little bit of heartache recently, I've been telling myself, "Good things happen in April" over and over. This song has shown me I was right
Greer The Compass Girl this is a sweet thing to say. good things do happen in april :)
Hope this becomes your most memorable April!
Greer The Compass Girl Sending you infinite love & light! ❤🙏
Thank you, you're all lovely xx
Kish is Wakisha What are the odds, you listen to Florence too?
How deeply are you sleeping
Or are you still awake?
A good friend told me
You've been staying out so late.
Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes
What I've seen so far
The good ones always seem to break.
I was screaming at my father
And you were screaming at me
I can feel your anger
From way across the sea.
I was kissing strangers
I was causing such a scene
Oh the heart it hurts
Such and image of unimaginable things.
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song.
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song.
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie.
And I can tell that I'm in trouble
When the music starts to play
And the city without seasons
It keeps raining in LA.
I feel like I'm about to fall
The room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens
But I can't walk away.
Grab me by my ankles
I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song.
And I want you so badly
But you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder
In the sky full of song.
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie.
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought that I was flying
But maybe I'm dying tonight. (x2)
Hold me down, I’m so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I’m too tired now
Leave me where I lie (fire).down (x2)
@Tony Bittner thanks for *the "Lyrics"*
Grateful for the lyrics
I love how you can hear the charms on her bracelets throughout the album.
I swear Florence's voice makes me feel things that no other can
Not just the voice, the lyrics are so powerful too.
Matt Masters me too❤
Žydrūnas Gira Agree 100%
Ugh so true
S A M E
When you go onto CZcams with eyes full of innocence...Looks in Subscriptions...A new video from FATM? Thinks to self oh! It must be her cover of Tiny Dancer...it wasn’t Tiny Dancer...IT WASNT A COVER...MY QUEEN HATH GRACED US WITH HER RADIENCE. FILL THE SKY WITH ANYTHING, AS LONG AS THAT THING IS THIS SONG!!!!
that's exactly what i thought about
She is one of the only artists whose album I buy both physically and online.
Great! "I want you so badly but you could be anyone" Her lyrics are powerful and honest and her voice is great.
Best part : 0:00 - 4:05
I don't know why but the lyrics "Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long" make me emotional. Im not sure what it means to me yet... those words are so beautiful.
I’ve read this is about her struggle with alcohol. So I’m that sense she needs help to be grounded. But what do I know
Florence Welch is so consistent in making phenomenal music. She cuts through me with so much emotion. Adore/love her artistry.
Florence and the Machine is like the world's best chocolate. So good it hurts, and when its finished, you just want more.
aspiring artists-- this is the type of quality you should aspire to create. this isn't even the music genre of my liking, but Florence has consistently managed to grab my attention
chairarms ...aspiring artists will aspire to create whatever they envision in whatever quality they wish to satisfy their soul and fulfill their art 🐃
Robyn F. ok I should change my point then:
don't desire the right words to fit your poems; don't search for the fulfilling colors to satisfy your paintings; don't put the effort into the things worth caring for
...no. do not write me into someone trying to board-up dreams and their dreamers
chairarms no one’s pointing the finger at you. I’m saying as a successful artist, that the best advice anybody can give an artist is to let go and to do whatever the f u want with your art to draw in the right people. My point is comments are useless because any comment can be flipped around against you. It’s an ego killer I kno :(
Robyn F. hmm, I understand what you're saying. see this is why I specified the word "quality" earlier
I myself am an animator and sub-par illustrator; the real ego-killer is having your cherished ideas disregarded. sure, there are some who may still enjoy those ideas, but quality through effort carries itself far better. although I am only one example in the entertainment industry, I believe I can speak for most in saying there is very little chance for success in disregarding comments and not applying yourself
it's a tough world out there, and I think we'd be causing more damage urging people to go out there blindly 🦑
Am I the only one who thinks all of the songs in this album have its own time ?
like
June - morning (right after you wake up.)
Sky full of song - afternoon (sitting in the garden or a coffee shop)
100 years - late afternoon (when you walk down the street and the sky has covered with orange and yellow light.)
Patricia - evening (when you can see the city light started to glow up from the sight seeing.)
The end of love - midnight (staying up and think about all the things you have done.)
No choir - another day morning, sitting in the park.
That is so true!!!
…”& I want you so badly,but you could be anyone”… hello,LOVE
I’ve never felt so spiritually connected with an artist as I do with Florence Welch. Florence, knowing that a soul like yours exists somewhere out there in the universe helps me to accept my own. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart and the top of my lungs.
Madison Jones I couldn’t have put it better.
Beautifully put!
I feel the same way
I think it’s weird how people try to imprint their emotions on artists. I wonder if this started with Van Gogh and the distraught bohemian artists myth/motif. The vast majority of great artists we have had were not tortured souls they were just people with talent who had something to say or express. Now with the wealth and drugs they all kill their inspiration and sing about their grief.
aguyfromnothere Maybe the opposite is true, though. Maybe artists nowadays are just more honest about their difficulties than their predecessors were because a shift in culture and how art is received by the masses has allowed them to be. It is human nature to look for ourselves in others; to try to reach out and relate. I don’t know that the “tortured artist” thing is Florence’s appeal specifically... To me, her honesty is what is the most appealing. She is just navigating through life like the rest of us... She simply seems to be an extremely introspective person, with an ability and audience to share those highs and lows. But hey, to each their own interpretation :)
The most underappreciated artist in the last 30 years.
OUR CELTIC WITCH IS BACK
Kaio Ribeiro witch? Why?
Animatoteros she’s most definitely a witch. Coming from a witch, there’s such a surplus of occult symbolism in her videos and lyrics. Even her channel logo, the alchemical symbols for air and water. There’s a witchy lyric(s) in every song.
Florence isn’t a witch she’s a GODDESS ...take that extra crap somewhere else
she is the new supreme OF OUR COVEN YES GAWD
people think witchcraft is something bad but like humans, you can use witchcraft to do good things and search for enlightenment and spiritual evolution or do bad things, what depends is your moral. now listen to the lyrics again. she knows that everyone that is "awake" and famous, die early cause the government don't want you to be influenced by them and think like an individual. "aim your arrow at the sky" like philosofical sagittarius people.
it's not florence's sign but she knows it's the sign that searches for the truth www.astrology-zodiac-signs.com/symbols/sagittarius/
I'm sure that creating Art with you would be an unforgettable experience
I'd love the minus to this, too. Those background vocals at the very end sound like actual cries of anguish. And they are also beautiful.
I think the "song" of "sky full of song" is How Big How Blue How Beautiful. She once said the sound of the finale part of that song is what love sounds like to her. So she is in love and she is in the sky (a big blu beautiful sky) but love is also pain for her (thunder). So she asks to be taken down to earth where she can have solid roots like these flowers as a metaphore to think and love rationally.
the ladder is the connection between the sky and the earth
Vincenzo Spagna yea i wonder if she will do sort of storyline with this album the way she did for hbhbhb. That last few shots of the ladder and florence looking up i feel like can be tied to the new album maybe.
Nice analysis. But she did mention in her tweets about the song- “This was a song that just fell out of the sky fully formed. Sometimes when you are performing you get so high, it’s hard to know how to come down. There is this feeling of being cracked open, rushing endlessly outwards and upwards, and wanting somebody to hold you still, bring you back to yourself. It’s an incredible, celestial, but somehow lonely feeling.”
is she asking her lover to "aim your arrow at the sky" and "shoot her down?"
She is back! I was having a bad and dull day . Thank you Florence for making it so much better.
Instant tears. I love everything about Florence. Thank you for existing
It's so funny. The first time I heard this, I was so disappointed because I was hope for more music in the same vein as Lungs. Now this is one of my favorite Florence songs. The entire album is so different from everything else she's done up to this that it's easily on par with Lungs for me but for different reasons.
This album isn't crazy young Florence. This is adult Florence who's gained wisdom through experience.
Lungs: losing happiness, hearings drumming noise, and merging into chaos.
Ceremonials: drowning in the deep waters of depression, and reaching death (which is the theme of the record).
HBHBHB: trying to get back from the deadly storm, through self-destructive behavior.
High As Hope: it seems like she's finally found peace, the anger in her singing and in the instrumentation is gone, the dancing and running around in the previous videos are gone. Florence found peace through hope.
Wael Ghandour this is amazing thank you for the comment!
Beautiful interpretation❤
Interesting, but I heard Florence said High As Hope will be about her depression... and quite frankly, this song suits that pretty well. The production is simple but has an existential dread to it. "I thought I was flying, but maybe I'm dying tonight..."
Brian H. but the song could easily mean that she found peace: the song starts with Flo talking to herself: “are you sleeping well? i heard that you were staying out all night” (hence, the self-destruct from HBHBHB), and then she says “I couldn’t hide from the thunder in a sky full of song”, which could mean that all the parties and staying out and drunkness couldn’t drown the aweful feelings she experienced. and finally she found peace saying “hold me down, i’m so tired now”, aka “i’ll stop the self-destruction and i’m gonna keep hoping until i find peace”. that’s just my interpretation! we’ll have to wait for the record to drop! hehe.
I agree about waiting, I can't wait! I actually think the beginning's about a relationship, given the rest of the lyrics... but we shall see.
marina and the diamonds is coming back and florence dropped this...nothing broke me like this
SAME
Marina is back?
vivi's sweet potato how soon do you think it will be out?
riggamorrischan lana also said "expect new music soon" with a teaser of a new song. In December she said her new album will be ready in around six months so we can expect a June-July release for her too.
And Aurora too, can’t wait
I have fallen irretrievably in love. How have I gone my entire life without her voice in my life?? Better late than never.
Когда душа обливается кровью, и в агонии не хватает сил на крик - я всегда надеюсь, что в этот раз наконец-то уже точно не выдержу. Но эта песня, буквально, возвращает мне на пару минут ощущение жизни, будто мои ушедшие дети вновь рядом.
И я дышу.
Поэтому я так люблю и так редко слушаю эту песню - это всё, что у меня осталось.
try not to cry
CRY ALOT
Vicky Skeleton same vicky, same 😢
Literally me
Oh my this is great
we've been waiting one and a half years for this
I love it. Omg
anyone who says there is no new good music should try saying that while listening to this.
pure genuis if you ask me.
I always come back here to renew strength. Inner strength.
aww florence singing while lying down in black and white -- reminds me so much of heavy in your arms, i love it!!!
Lil Ali Heavy In Your Arms was the first FATM song I've heard. I was late for the school because I was completely mesmerized and stood there watching instead of going for a bus. Since then it was a few years and I was a huge fan through all this time. The first time I went on her gig was on my first year at university and this year I will be for a third time when I'm finishing it after five years. FATM was there with me all the time.
Holy shit I thought the same too!!
I can't even explain how beautiful and personal this song feels to me.
no song has ever helped me visualize my bipolar disorder like this has. dont know or think that was intentional. but thank you
My sky is full of THIS SONG!!!! LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
disable radio communications No reason to be nasty to her, bitch.
Her lyrics tho. Always straight to my heart.
Looooove Flo
This song is so underrated.
I love her ethereal and poignant voice. She has a magical vibe but also down to earth somehow
*see Florence the Machine puts out a song*
*clicks*
*listen to 4 seconds of it*
“Omg I love this song”
:D :D :D when the first 13 are silent
😩😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭😭😭
Now this is REAL music 🎶 non of that bs pop music we hear today. You can’t name me one pop music song mainstream trash that is better than this!!!
Well I admit mainstream is not better than Florence + Machine but underground pop is making a statement check this out if you don’t believe me: czcams.com/video/LnFcYMpUN1c/video.html
Yes those song are nice indeed it Florence will make those 50 times better as the voice is just majestic and wonderful ❤️ Those underground song are way better than mainstream pop 😂 😂 😆
Florence + The Machine = HEAVEN
Because of Florence and the Machine I was able to overcome the loss I've had endured in my life, saved me from taking my own.
OH GOD!!! mY HEART BEATS IN A DIFFERENT FRECUENCY WHEN HEARING THIS SONG... ONLY FLORENCE CAN GOT ME THIS WAY... I LOVE HER AND HER VOICE AND CREATIVITY
Most underrated artist ever
She's not underrated at all tho, she's a queen and everyone knows it
She's very underrated
Miguel López yes she is basicly perfect but people still prefer listening shitty music like taylor swift, some ex one directiom guy or some stupid repetitive tune from a Dj without talent, Florence is way better but people likes that crap over talent. However, it kind of makes me sad that Florence deserves more recognition but Florence's beautiful music has be concibed to be art and not a generic pre fabricated product designed to be played on a club or to make tons of money.
Flo isn't underrated, she's known more than her contemporaries (Lana Del Rey, Marina and the Diamonds, Fka Twigs + etc) but people just tend to listen to more mainstream “artists.”
Madison Quinney underrated but can sell one million per album and perform and frontrun on famous gigs/concerts/and festivals is an understatement.
How does she get more beautiful every year? Listening to old songs but she is just amazing !
She released this while I had to let go of two very toxic friends. I was so tired of the disrespect, so i had to make a decision for what was best for me. Florence always a song to help me through a troubling time. That is truly a blessing. I cannot thank this person enough for being so brave in vulnerability.
Michael M I absolutely agree with you her music has certainly helped me through periods of grief and other challenges in my life... I too have had to do a cleansing of people in my life, that I thought were friends/associates also even guys I thought liked me like I did them... #LifeLessons
@@michaeld.williamsiii9026 Surprising how frequent it happens. But its natural!
Heavy In Your Arms: "Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall."
Sky Full Of Song: "Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long."
And its very similar to Heavy In Your Arms video too!!
Honestly, today's been a really shitty day, and I got home ready to go to bed angry to rest until tomorrow, but as soon as I've seen this, my mood changed radically, and imagine when I listened to the song, I was actually happy, and for that I thank Florence for her godly voice.
Allen Walker music is amazing isn't it. I'm glad this song made your day better👍
Ty Florence I adore you I am blessed to live to witness ur beautiful self
Already popular in USA. Love everything about this song and video. Please keep Calvin Harris away from adding his noise to this song too.

The Machine
Your lyrics are always top tier wow
WOW I thought we'd have to wait for a long while till we got a bit more of the drug of Florence Welch's voice. I couldn't be happier!!!!
The best Voice my ears have ever listened to...♡
[Verse 1]
How deeply are you sleeping or are you still awake?
A good friend told me you've been staying out so late
Be careful, oh, my darling, oh, be careful what it takes
From what I've seen so far, the good ones always seem to break
And I was screaming at my father and you were screaming at me
And I can feel your anger from way across the sea
And I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene
Oh, the heart it hides such unimaginable things
[Pre-Chorus2]
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
[Chorus3]
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
[Verse 2]
And I can tell that I'm in trouble when that music starts to play
In a city without seasons, it keeps raining in LA
I feel like I'm about to fall, the room begins to sway
And I can hear the sirens but I cannot walk away
[Pre-Chorus2]
Grab me by my ankles, I've been flying for too long
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
And I want you so badly but you could be anyone
I couldn't hide from the thunder in a sky full of song
[Chorus3]
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie
[Bridge6]
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
And I thought I was flying but maybe I'm dying tonight
[Chorus3]
Hold me down, I'm so tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
Take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
Hold me down, I'm too tired now
Aim your arrow at the sky (shoot, shoot, shoot)
And take me down, I'm too tired now
Leave me where I lie (Fire)
With love♡
Florence Welch's voice brings me to another world! ❤️
All day I'm feeling so sad, and now, after hearing this song ... I'm still crying. Beautiful song
Reni Pavlova I'm crying too😢this is a pretty song💓

Christian Munroe you don't have to be mean😡
Amandagrace12 adams oh fuck someone’s mad 😡😡😡
Christian Munroe I'm not mad but I don't see Wye you are so mean
I can imagine that she was flying in a world of illusion. The sky, her drinking and self-sabotage, suddenly revealed its true nature - a place of creativity and songs. A song shoots down at her like lightning and causes her wings of perdition to catch fire and deteriorate, sending her swirling down, back to earth. On the ground, she is hurt and confused, but the song that struck her while she "flew" up high has planted a seed of fortune in her. If anything, the thunder caused her to awaken from a state of anxiety and romantic warfare, showing her way back to her true nature - one of art and expression.
This song is delightful. I needed this. This is authentic music, guys. Forget souless lyrics and bland repetitions. Listen to Florece Welch! ❤️
Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Please write a book or something. That was a beautiful description of the songs possible meaning.
++ What Nick said.
Holy crappers that was insanely good and true. Lots of applause for both you and florence
Love you
thanks very much. She is such an inspiration, isn't she? That is what art does to people hahaa
Happy Birthday Florence!!! ❤️❤️❤️
