After making Breath of Life in 2011, she asked her manager if she could bring the orchestra and the choir with them on tour for that song and her manager was like "Flo, we can't afford this!!!!" because that is a shit ton of people
Kella The Killjoy are you kidding? shes SO popular! she is headlining massive festivals this summer and her own shows are selling out on the days they go on sale. shes insanely popular. she worked her way up to the top and she deserves being with the biggest acts on the planet
i get that. i wish she was more popular than ariana grande or that shit. but in "alternative rock" (i guess that's what you'd call her music? idk) she's very popular. i know what you mean though :/
She is an extreme introvert, on the personality test, Myers-Briggs-INFP-Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving (Introverted Feeling with Extraverted Intuition) Other famous INFP's are, C.C. Lewis, Edgar Allen Poe, J.K. Rowling, Jude Law, Virginia Wolff-( Florence wrote "what the water gave me about her"), William Shakespeare, Kurt Cobain, Vincent Van Gogh, George Orwell, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Helen Keller. I am an INFP as well and was instantly drawn to Florence, it takes a lot of guts for an introvert to perform live, she pulls it off!
I love how people continue to denounce Drake's version but what they don't realise is that the beautiful words Florence is singing came ultimately from the genius that is Drake. Rap is just as beautiful and powerful as poetry.
they would be stupid not acknowledge that he wrote a beautiful song, but you and i know that can't really beat Florence on vocals on his best day, because he is a rapper. But Florence just killed it with this rendition. P.S. just saying do not attack me.
The song has a whole different meaning with such an emotional, yet powerful voice, the undertones, and the violins! It just makes me live one more day to wake up and listen to this song.
Its funny how absolute idiots say that Drake is a crap artist & praise Florence...but Florence wouldn't even agree with these idiots because she says Drake is one of her favs...people are so fucking stupid. Florence wouldn't even want them as fans.
I vidded this in May 2016 so over 7 years ago now. Edited a fanvideo set to this song. I don't think i even realized it was a live version. It was just so good but i never saw all the visuals. I adore this even more now. It's... so impressive wow.
I love how her talking voice is so quiet and gentle... But then she opens her mouth to sing and... Wow. If you had never heard her sing, you wouldn't think she could do it so well.
I remember this every couple of months and have to come listen. I love her cover of this so much, it takes all the restrained emotion of the original and makes it big and consuming
I love all these live lounge covers. A different spin on a song can be the difference between hating and loving it. In the hands of a talent like Florence, its guaranteed gold.
Take Drake himself, lately he's been doing a lot of that. Too Good is a song that stresses on lyrics and sung verses. not only those of Rihanna. The Weeknd, tho he's more R&B. Jidenna and Sampha are mic examples I've been listening to lately :)
RandomGus There's an entire Grammy category dedicated to the rap/sung genre. This genre has been around since Destiny's Child, the most classic example is Say My Name.
I've never heard of Florence before. A friend told me to watch this tonight because she thought I'd like it. Wow! This was amazing! It's crazy how you discovery things!
Why tf doesn’t she have a Grammy yet? It’s so annoying seeing others win knowing Florence has the best voice, songs, videos, and live performances! It’s a musical crime at this point!
