      @rollingskatteswabajack347 Před 4 lety +4

      @@jwest88 It's because florence is very inconsistent with the quality of live performances. To the point that on a good day she can make a fantastic performance and you can tell she has total control over her voice, whilst on bad days, she sounds like shit; cannot reach notes but attempts to reach them anyways, her voice can't finish a vibrato correctly due to maybe voice stress or lack of warm-ups, changing the rythm halfway through the song and then forgetting the new rythm she set, note transitions sucking and her voice sounding pitchy (as if she needs to scream in order to reach a note). She's not stupid, the only thing she needs to do is watch her own performances back and hear the mistakes for her to decide that recording a live album might be a huge risk she doesn't want to take.

      Rollingskattes Wabajack that may have been true 5 years ago, or 9/10 in the Lungs era. Back then she abused substances, to try and escape her anxieties. Now she is consistently incredible. She is sober, she is devoted to her craft. I’m so proud of her!

  • @razrv3lc
    @razrv3lc Před 4 lety +43

    I loved this album so much. The songs are so ethereal and inhuman. They’re so filled with magical imagery and bits of witchcraft. The only other singer I know of that made music like that was Kate Bush. Even current Florence has lifted the veil, so to speak, on her music and it’s not really occult/mystical like this.
    EDIT: It's 2022 and she released Dance Fever a few weeks ago. That album was sort of a return to the style Lungs had. Daffodil could've been on Lungs honestly. So glad she decided to return to her roots, so to speak!

    • @cmberrian
      @cmberrian Před rokem

      Thanks for making the edit. I loved/ love Lungs so much and it's partially for the reasons that you mentioned in your description of the music contained on that album. But I actually sensed a move away from the witchy/ spiritual/ magic vibe on ceremonials but I still do love a lot of that one as well. But after that, I got involved in other things and would kinda peek in on what FATM were up to once in awhile and it wasn't grabbing me but after reading your comment I'm going to go check out the album you mentioned. I've already forgotten the title and stupid CZcams comments function doesn't allow one to scroll up to reread what the fuck you were replying to (at least on android it doesn't). Thanks again. And as far as this video. Awesome rendition. Talk about perfect fucking pitch!!

    There's a drumming noise inside my head
    That starts when you're around
    I swear that you could hear it
    It makes such an all mighty sound
    There's a drumming noise inside my head
    That throws me to the ground
    I swear that you should hear it
    It makes such an all mighty sound
    Louder than sirens
    Louder than bells
    Sweeter than heaven
    And hotter than hell
    I ran to a tower where the church bells chime
    I hoped that they would clear my mind
    They left a ringing in my ear
    But that drum's still beating loud and clear
    Louder than sirens
    Louder than bells
    Sweeter than heaven
    And hotter than hell
    Louder than sirens
    Louder than bells
    Sweeter than heaven
    And hotter than hell
    Louder than sirens
    Louder than bells
    Sweeter than heaven
    And hotter than hell
    As I move my feet towards your body
    I can hear this beat it fills my head up
    And gets louder and louder
    It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
    I run to the river and dive straight in
    I pray that the water will drown out the din
    But as the water fills my mouth
    It couldn't wash the echoes out
    But as the water fills my mouth
    It couldn't wash the echoes out
    I swallow the sound and it swallows me whole
    Till there's nothing left inside my soul
    As empty as that beating drum
    But the sound has just begun
    As I move my feet towards your body
    I can hear this beat it fills my head up
    And gets louder and louder
    It fills my head up and gets louder and louder
    There's a drumming noise inside my head
    That starts when you're around
    I swear that you could hear it
    It makes such an all mighty sound

    I think everyone has a person, regardless of whether that person is still in your life or has moved on, that fits the lyrics of this song. This person was so significant that they shaped who you are and who you will be after they are gone. This song, in particular, speaks to this feeling a lot and I always cry when I hear it.
    My bad luck was meeting this person very early in my life and then living with the idea that I will never find anyone else who matches her

    As I move my feet towards your body
    I can hear this beat it fills my head up
    And gets louder and louder..
    It fills my head up and gets louder and louder..

    Words alone cannot effectively express how absolutely incredible she is @_@ She can do no wrong.

    i love how her voice is soft and sweet, but when she sings its powerful and she ppurs her heart into every song

    God, but what a powerful voice she has. Her lyrics are complex and powerful in their own own right, but add that voice and her music becomes a spiritual experience.
    So excited to see her at the Hard Rock Live here in Orlando in June.

    Drumming song is amazing! But I never knew it sounds even more amazing without the drums, it almost becomes even more intense! :)

    Wow! That's why we all love music. Such a powerful delivery of emotions.
    I get how hard it can be for a band to play and sing the same songs days in and out, especially when they are great songs - any original feelings they put in just slowly fade away. But in this performance she's completely in, which makes it special
