Florence and the Machine perform "Drumming Song" live in the KEXP studio. Recorded 4/16/10. host: Kevin Cole engineer: Kevin Suggs cameras: Jim Beckmann & Patrick Richardson Wright edits: Jim Beckmann
Absolutely Powerful... Definitely Unique... sweet, smooth and intense. I think is a common feeling, she feels every single word, moment accord. All this Fantastic Mix, make her so special and such an amazing artist. She born for this.. Thank you so much 👏👌🙏😘
I love how the whole band just kind of sits/stands there at the end, staring into something greater, as if they just completed some kind of intense journey together. I LOVE IT I LOVE THEM.
You can hear it in the voice of the guy who enounced them in the end of the performance - how fucking stunned he is. You can hear his smile and the wonder when he speaks. Incredible. I hope to watch her live someday too.
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!
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 RU-vid 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!!
I think I have watched this a thousand times. I seen her live twice both time in Dallas TX. This one is my all time favorites as it is very magical and moving. Love Florence Forever.
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 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 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 love how when she speaks, she sounds kind of innocent and timid. When she starts singing, however, her voice is so powerful and strong. It's fantastic.
heard this studio versione, acutstic version, live on youte, live during actual live show... Any version has different energy, but it's beautiful all the way. It's an honest interpretation about feelings that just can't control.
@@ffsdffsd1 Agreed: I'd love to hear a full album from them in this format. A lot of their album stuff sounds overproduced and has too much back up vocals used.
@@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!
She belts out those sounds as casually and spontaneously as one would butter toast. 0.o Just... How? I mean, I know, but it's just that her ability to sing is so incredible and seems to come with such ease. And she's adorable, too! This is just one of those cases in which you have to be so happy one is able to share their gift with everyone.
In my wedding ring its inscripted sweeter than heaven in my wifes wedding ring it's inscripted hotter than hell. Thank you for this version of the song. We love it!
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

I love their music has inspired me to face the horrors of my life, and stand strong even when things have been horrible. Thank you for your inspiration
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..
It's funny that her singing voice is so deep and loud and full of emotions, but when she's talking her voice sounds so shy. I absolutely love this session! Need more songs! (:
I always think that artists who better themselves playing live deserve all my unconditional admiration, F + TM is definitely one of these kind of artists
She sang it like a true artist cause she is one. The emotion in her voice is enough to replace the feel from the drum :) This song is already amazing with just two instruments, imagine it with an orchestra :D
