Florence + The Machine - South London Forever (Lyrics)
When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born
And the places that I used to drink
Young and drunk and stumbling in the street
Outside the Joiners Arms like foals unsteady on their feet
With the art students and the boys in bands
High on E and holding hands with someone that I just met
I thought, "It doesn't get better than this
There can be nothing better than this, better than this"
And we climbed onto the roof of the museum
And someone made love in the grass
And I forgot my name
And the way back to my mother's house
With your Blackpool eyes and your bitten lips
The world is at your fingertips
It doesn't get better than this
What else could be better than this?
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
And everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a space to watch things grow
But did I dream too big? Do I have to let it go?
And what if one day there is no such thing as snow?
Oh God, what do I know?
And I don't know anything
Except that green is so green
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
But everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
Oh, do you know what I have seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
But everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name

*"holding hands with someone i just met."*
before this song started my GODDESS Florence asked everyone to hold hands with the person beside you + look at them + tell them you love them because you do. nobody grabbed my hand so i was just standing there singing + swaying to the music + a girl behind me smiles at me + grabs my hand
good vibes to you, the universe loves you and youll feel it very soon, i love florence too so tha means we all love eachother as well, hugs from mexico
I hope that a little bit of spring found you today, and if you look for it, you can always find it. I don't know why but your comment really comforted me, I hope you are doing good friend. As Izmir says, the universe loves you, you rock! Oh and you have great taste in music.
Reading that made my day :) Hope u are better now have a nice one!
Well this made me proper sob. What a sweet story. Hope you're feeling better and brighter two years on
Aweh :,) omg I hope you're okay
she’s incredible. i wish people were talking about this album like they did with the other ones.
Agreed, it is incredible!
true
Sameeee

ngl, i liked that it kinda flew under the radar. it was very close to my heart and precious to me and i think it would've ruined the experience if i was hearing it everywhere.
This just cleared my acne and cured my anxiety and watered my crops
Lol me too
Watered my crops. Lmaooo
and also birthed AND raised my children.
Most accurate thing I’ve read in 2018 lol but seriously, killing me so good
Lol i will recommend the song to my girlfriend for acne treatment. It would certainly be much better for her than Accutane.
"And we're just children wanting children of our own
I want a space to watch things grow
But did I dream too big?
Do I have to let it go?
What if one day there is no such thing as snow?
Oh God, what do I know?"
That has to be my favorite thing Florence has ever written. I feel it everytime
As well as the following lyrics.
"And I don't know anything
Except that green is so green
And there's a special kind of sadness that seems to come with spring"
I sometimes just play this section as a whole over and over again just to live in it
This makes me feel nostalgic for a place I've never even been too
Nastalgic for memories i never had but still feel bittersweet to think about
OH MY GOD I AM IN THIS MUSIC VIDEO!! THAT'S ME WITH THE BLUE BEARD AT 1:10 WITH THE RED FLOWERS!!!
Edit: It was a blessing beyond words to be in this music video. There is actually a huge story involving Florence herself (who I've met- that her handwriting "Hwy look up
Victor Hensel-Coe ❤️
Your part of the video made me weepy. Thank you. Also--love the beard
Cool
Aww so cool.😄
Dude I legit read this at 1:10!!! Lol you look dope!! 🤘🏽😍❤
literally that one line "we climbed to the top of the museum, and someone made love in the grass"........ the way her voice flutters over those words, it's the most haunting thing in the world to me..... i'm in love
Her voice is like the mom from adams family. So good.
How is it SO overwhelmingly beautiful?!
Because. Florence.
_and everything I ever did, was just another way to scream your name_ 🎶🎤🎶
over and over and over again
You can hear the smile in her voice when she sings, "Young and drunk and stumbling in the street outside the Joiners Arms..." What a moving, beautiful performance ✨ I wish I had been there x
I was thrown out of the Joiners arms for no reason just before Christmas x
@@adonaiyah2196well done sorts thing I’d have happen 😂

@@retroboy8696 oh yea was shit. They thought my coconut water was alcohol
i feel sad that i didn't live like that in my teenage years
SJ ELF promise Don’t be. Neither did I. But I turned out 10 times better as an adult BECAUSE of that :) I love you, keep going. ❤️
same
What's stopping you now?
Age is just a number my friend
Do it now :)
I did and i wish i didnt
I feel 15 and in love again, on a sunny Sunday morning. Thanks Flo.
There could be no song better than this... It makes me feel infinite.
god can you imagine being in that crowd??? 💗💗
I didn't grow up in London but a different English city, but still this so fully captures the feeling of being a reckless teenager, burning bright. I feel a little sick with nostalgia.
I can totally relate to that feeling of nostalgia, it literally makes me feel sick sometimes. Then I realise how lucky I am to be able to look back on those times with pleasure, instead of pain.
Ever since I was little, I had dreams and visions of England. I live in the Southwest of USA so I live nowhere near England obv. I have never visited but it feels like I belong there. Maybe it’s a past life thing. I’ll definitely have to visit when I get the chance.
LONDON ❤️❤️
This song actjally made me cry and J dont even know why, I guess her voice and the lyrics, even if yoyre not from tje UM, I had this wiyh Love & Lost also and some othet songs, when Im feeling sometjing. In march Im gonna see her live, I cant wait, we havent had a singer like her in this era, give or tame a few, like Sia, who rben spng pne of Florence her songs fkr a movie, Malificent 2 I believe, not sure yhohgh. But she is a mix of Kate Bush, Siouxsie from the Banshees and Patty Smith, but still diffrrent, her voice reminds me of Björk, its almost beautogjl because it isnt flawless, its a vibration in their viice, as an instrument alnost, a bit out of tune almost, but that makes it so unique. She is one of my favorites the last 4 albums, like Lana, Sia, Beyoncé, Rapsody, Radiohead, Deoeche Mose, Jay Z, Damien Rice, Adèle amo. Music gets better when your older, no pierpressure, I like all kinds of music and from all era's. Its why Im still breathing ...🎶😍🎸🎷📻📱🎼🔊🎧🎹📻🎙🎵
Burnt Spoon Burnt Spoon be glad that you can be proud to say you’re proud. I can’t say the same about being American at the moment. University isn’t free (average student that graduates for their bachelors degree is in debt about $30,000+ and forget even trying to get your masters). Health care isn’t free and Trump is getting rid of ObamaCare (which wasn’t that good either). You pay $800 for an ambulance ride to the hospital. Hospital fees are ridiculous so people have started going to Urgent Cares instead. Our food is pumped with crap and hormones. Our government is corrupt and shit.
The only way to make it here is to be rich or be poor and work 2 jobs just to exist. It’s a shitty country and I only recommend going to the east coast or North West if you’re gonna visit. Everywhere else is all sorts of fuckery.
Tbh this looks like it could be the official MV
it is?
@@2Cousins1 No it isn't??? It's a live performance
i think it's both lol ♥
it is
it now is one.
So fortunate to have woken up to this notification. It doesn't get better than this. ❤
Same!
1:05 the way she sings "glass" gives me shivers
Adelaide McGowan It’s actually “grass” but I agree :)
"it doesn't get better than this"......
"there can't be nothing better than this".....
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 wow, when you are high but at the same time grounded with hope.....
When I go home alone
I drive past the place where I was born

With your Blackpool eyes and your bitten lips
The world is at your fingertips
It doesn't get better than this
What else could be better than this?
Oh, do you know what I've seen?
I have seen the fields aflame
And everything I ever did
Was just another way to scream your name
Over and over and over and over again
Over and over and over and over again
And we're just children wanting children of our own

I wish I could look back on my life as fondly as Florence can, she makes me miss something I never even had
Let's just appreciate how perfect her voice is, every note, every run... I'm amazed by her talent. She's so perfect. 💘
This gives me the same vibe as Breaking Down video, so good
cause it's shot on film...
not just that, also the scenery and the buildings and parks they passed
Same
Have absolutely no bloody clue how but this song it literally feels like i'm at home again. When i'm feeling homesick I just stick this on and i'm reminded of all the memories and people I love, from how me and my mates would muck around Camberwell and Peckham, getting drunk in ruskin park, to how my big brother took me to the Joiners for my first drink when I turned 18. Florence Welch is an absolute genius and I am in love.
I can't get the way she sings aflame out of my head 🔥
This song brings me back to moving to south London at 18. Young and naive. Never lived by myself. Let alone in a different country with a different language and different mentalities. Pursuing my passion by going to fashion school. Falling in love with Herne Hill making memories that are mine only. SE24 forever
Hi… how did that go for ya?
@@jags.3389really good! I don’t live in London anymore but I really miss it… that time shaped me like no other
Laughed at 'the way back to my mother's house' I did that once, when I still lived there!!, that was a good night. I'm from Oldham, nowhere near London, but as usual with Flo shes gone and made me feel like I know exactly what she's singing about, makes me think of my college days in the 90's when it seemed like it was summer every day, best time ever!
There’s no words to describe Florence’s music and voice. I’ve never been to South London but my god! I think I felt like I was there for a good 4 mins ♥️
How can a song make me feel happy and sad at the same time?
South west London here! It’s so green! Richmond park, Putney heath, Barnes… The river, the ponds, the wild life… lunch by the river in Kingston…hard to believe I’m in London; how lucky am I!!!???
This song brings me to life!
I am literally crying! Love you Flo
I WAS NOT READY, I REPEAT, I WAS NOT READY
Naarel Servæs None of us were ❤
Caramba ,eu tô muito abalado.
O Brasil te ama aaaaa
Wesley Vieira e muito
i did'nt even lived in london, but i felt nostalgic over this
Best music to wake up to... Love this so much!
Louisanna Ball and your picture
I love how this like all of Florence’s other songs and albums are just so out of time and each is totally different from the Last that’s something you don’t see with now a day “artists”.There truly is no one like her.
❤️❤️❤️
This song looking back made me remember who I was and where I came from. I hope I can live up to it. a beautiful person Flo
Feels nostalgic, I was living in South London for 3 years straight.
What a time haha
Regards to all of you beautiful people I have met and one's i haven't yet 🖤
Que maravillosa artista. No tengo palabras para explicar lo que me hace sentir la música de Florence. Solo dar gracias de estar vivo en la misma línea de tiempo que ella. Es una bendición 💓
What a beautiful voice you have Florence. I can’t stop listening to this song❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥
She was born in the same place I was, and my late father too. I have never lived in Camberwell, but have visited often. My favourite pub was always the Hermit's Cave.
Something about her voice gets me everytime, I can't wait for her Dublin gig! 😊
same
This is such a dreammy song. I love it, there's not much more I could say to express how it makes me feel. The sense of happiness in each accord, and it is not a dead and lost happiness, it's a present one, like a ride of joy that we all can find in our lives. It's love, it's kindness, it's hope in each note. Just love it. Thank you Florence and the Machine :)
aún no supero la versión estudio y Florence ya saca el acústico... neta como hace esta mujer para cosas tan hermosas, espero y venga a México seria un sueño verla en vivo.
Me urge!!!
It makes me feel so nostalgic about places and things and people I've never even met
'what if one day, there is no such thing as snow' i'm crying and i don't know why
It’s my 27th birthday today and my best friend passed away a few months ago, we used to spend our holidays in London so this song is hitting extra hard tonight
Minha manhã foi iluminada por essa voz maravilhosa. Come to Brazil!!!!
love this video. I grew up here and its strange (in agood way) seeing the parks and places where I spent my youth. I wish I could have been at that gig at the joiners arms. It makes me happy to be associated with where florence grew up and sad I never meet her. As if I was so close to a genuine star. just my luck...love your music florence . Can't wait to see and hear you in london x
She sang this in her 10/14/18 in Philly. It makes me nostalgic. I was just in London in March, this reminds me of that magical time and many others ❤️
Te amo
pure love,
I can't wait to see the concert in Italy 😍
Iv'e been listening to this song over and over and over and over again!!!
Her voice sounds completely different from any other artiste I've heard 💖👌
Alexie Johnson You should listen to Sia. Her voice is even more unique and filled with emotion unlike anything I’ve ever heard before! Check this out 😍 m.czcams.com/video/0fFQwNfn4s8/video.html
"everything I ever did
was just another way to scream your name"
it is amazing, her lyrics are so full and honest, it speaks to me on emotional level
Ni siquiera puedo expresar cuanto te amo, ni en español ni en inglés. Cuando todo está oscuro en mi vida sólo pongo tú música en mis audífonos, cierro los ojos y todo parece mejorar. 💜
SCREAMING I WAS NOT READY FOR THIS
I hope an exact version of this song gets released on a deluxe album.
I'm from beijing, right now studying in scotland. yet this song, which is about london, somehow evokes my homesick. i really miss the city where i grow up, especially the southern and eastern parts of beijing, the most vibrant places of the whole city.
Que coisa mais celestial! Amo essa música demais
Damn there can be no other "South London Forever" music video better than this version.
Lovely . Simply lovely .
i have been BLESSED
OMG! I woke up in one think, I need to play this song OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN! I've dream when I traveling and listen this music in woods. ❤
I was in London 2 years ago and walked to Camberwell with an old friend, and didn't realise I was passing the Joiners Arms pub and when I saw the name instantly this song and video came to mind
One of my favourites off this incredible album and I love this live version!
So light, so easy and yet so deep inward ... Over and over and over and over again
This whole album is a masterpiece
Honestly. The first time I listened to this song was in an acid trip and it completely moved me. I wept on public transit as I kept restarting the song on full volume. I have been having a really hard time for a long time...thank you for this song. Truly. It means so much.
Queria acordar todo dia com esse tipo de notificação
I love her voice! it can go between being delicate and then fully fierce.... awesome
Best song I've heard in a while
I love this song for a billion of different reasons but most of all for the fact that it gives me that nostalgic feeling of when you are far away and think about home and the place where you grew up
Im from Venezuela, but... just close my eyes and i can feel the beaufitul wind of London. Really love this song
One of her most beautiful songs, the voice, the lyrics, the music, kinda' eerie 🌷🖤
Logging up and seeing this notification just after waking up is like a wake up kiss...
Can't believe i missed this, literally live round the corner. so much love, your music does so much for my soul. it has got me though times I never thought i would make it through, your music was literally incremental to my survival at that time
This is one my favorite songs off of High As Hope. The London theme is so cool since it’s my dream to go there and the song as a whole is just amazing. This music video is also amazing it matches the song so well great job Florence!!
Melhor coisa do dia é acordar ouvindo essa voz ❤
Florence you gotta come to Ghana. Wow, I just love your music. You should know you have fans all the way here. We love you💗🇬🇭
MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!
Indeed, Your Grace
This woman's voice is the CURE for EVERYTHING.
I love this song ❤️ absolutely beautiful
this song and album holds a special place in my heart. i moved to nyc for university and i completely found myself there. the year i moved this song dropped. south london forever reminds me of the amazing memories i had with my friends while in school. i’m forever grateful for Florence and for this song. love u flo ❤️🔥
this album feels like home
All I can say the best singer period........!!!!!I LOVE YOU FLORENCE
I can't believe I've only now found this. Wonderful and magical I'm in awe
Absolutely the most amazing version of this song that I have heard. Such true emotion. The most beautiful woman/voice I know.
Florence always makes me cry, in the best way ❤️⭐
O video ficou exatamente do jeito que eu imaginei aaaa todo vintage e simples
I can’t wait to see her at Life Is Beautiful ❤️
I didn't know south London could give such power and melancholy at the same time to its inhabitants. All of my respect to Florence, if I should ever go to London again, someday, I'll look for those places shown in the video. Beautiful song,both in this live version as well as in the studio version
Umas dos melhores salmos da bíblia vulgo High as Hope. Florence não decepciona
