Florence + The Machine "What The Water Gave Me" // SiriusXM // Sirius XM U 

lol it's awesome how she says "thank you" in such a soft voice after a very strong one

Best female vocalist of our time, by a landslide. Poetess. Performer. No contest. Blows me away.

She's got such and innocent speaking voice but it's like the heavens have been let out when she sings

Approaches the microphone, sings with powerful voice, says thank you like a shy little girl

I can't even believe how pure and real her voice is. How many people sound THIS good acoustic... Damn Flo.

4:46 "Thank you?" It is amazing how her bold and powerful singing voice turns into such a shy and gentle speaking voice.

her voice is one the most beautiful things in this world...

from the ones i watched, this is the most amazing perfomance of this song.

This is what I love about Florence. She comes across as such a quiet, delicate person and you think: She can't seriously be that good a singer if she is this quiet. Then she proves you wrong and just blows you away with this perfect, godlike voice that just shocks you into silence the first time you hear her. Then, you play it again and again; never once getting sick of her gorgeous voice. She is pone of those people who possesses true, raw talent inside of such a normal body. Amazing, really.

I don't know if it makes sense or no, but, hell... right now, in my actual spiritual condition, I feel like this song can make a stone cry...

4:21 TEARS. So much power and soul. not even close to screaming

I have never heard a more wonderful voice. There are many singers with good voices, but she is the top. Goosebumps and tears every time when I listen to her sing.

**sings such a high, beautiful note, it could have caused the San Andreas fault** ... **five seconds later, in quiet little voice** "Thank you" LOL, too funny! & love ya and your amazing music, Florence! :)

wow the way she "plays" with her voice is unbelievable!!she doesn't even miss a note!wow.just WOW!

one of the best voices of our time right now

The resonance of her voice is out of this world.

IMO this is the best version of this song, and probably the best live performance I have seen of any Florence anywhere. Simple accompaniment, unrestricted vocals. Florence fans should bookmark this IMMEDIATELY :)

Time it took us To where the water was That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us Oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow And oh, poor Atlas The world’s a beast of a burden You’ve been holding up a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That’s what the water gave us So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow ‘Cause they took your loved ones But returned them in exchange for you But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You couldn't have it any other way ‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress And a bargain must be made But oh, my love, don’t forget me When I let the water take me So lay me down Let the only sound Be the over flow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow

Her best live performance without question. It's perfect. She rarely sings it like this live - understandably.

Imagine her standing on roof of high building and singing like that. Her voice is like purest pearl.

This is amazing, her voice is liquid platinum.

"What the water gave me" is still my "Heart Song". No song ever topped this for me and this version is clearly the most stunning and breathtaking of all. The pure good feeling that it brings to me is just indescribable. I enjoy this Song nearly every day, 'cause it makes me so thoughtful and sad.. but also very intense happy! I'm so glad that this band exist.

That "thank you" at the end makes me laugh and smile every time...this is music, absolutely captivating, thank you mrs for such a great voice.

You don't find artist that sound live like that anymore.

so beautiful. and that thank you in the end omfg

I can't understand why she's so amazing!

Still gives me chills

I am 39 yrs old and have a huge and ecletic music collection but a more beautiful voice than that of Florence Welch I have yet to hear, every song sung with so much raw emotion

Almost can't handle this because its so mind blowing.

Her voice knows no boundaries.

Such a beautiful melody that rocks at the end. My fave from Florence and The Machine

Funny is that she seems so secure while sings, yet she goes all like "oh, I'm so shy, don't keep looking at me.." when stops singing.. She's so strong and fragile at the same time.. :3

that voice is out of this world

Incredible talent

what a voice

Truly amazing. I wonder if SiriusXM has ANY idea of the Talent & Beauty that graced their studios that day. I have Sirius in my car and their Spectrum channel plays 'Shake It Out' but none of her other songs as far as I can tell. Florence is golden. No autotune, no beat-box, just pure, unalloyed talent. Thank you Florence & The Machine!

You ever have a song go straight through your soul to the core of your being? That's what Florence Welch's voice does everytime she sings.

Such a voice 👌 🌟 star notes 🎵🙏🏻

I've not seen so much gospel and crazy cat lady in one person. Love it.

I really love Florence Welch, her voice is so perfect. When i see this video i feel something rare in me.

Awwww that ending man she just such a fragile strong hearted women i love her deeply

the thank you at the end just kills me every time

This song is just incredible.

"Was like an angel beeing thankfully for his beauty"

Man. So clear. It's hard to believe this is live. I forgot until the thank you at the end. This is impeccable work. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.

wearing headphones and hearing that "thank you" at the end. It's like she whispered it in my ear! I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH!!!

3:51 the word "sound" never sounded so good. FloFanForever.

the bags under her eyes and she still sings like a goddess. PLEASE teach me how 1 do that!!! :)

That is magical, just as the flowing water is

Great recording of a great artist who's obviously in "the zone." Love the intimate video and the audio mix really shows off Flo's phenomenal dynamic range. I could listen to her voice all day, every day!

Well this live version.lost for words.simply the best singer songwriter around . Bar none...

i love how she says thankyou at the end!

the best and beauty woman over the world. i love her voice and her attitude.

She sounds so quiet and shy when she speaks and then when she sings, her voice is so strong and amazing

Wow! Top-most tier vocal talent plus phenomenal gorgeousness, I'm floored!

this literally gave me goosebumps as i listened its so amazing

Ur right cornelius. Pure brilliance. I listen to this every day

how could 17 people NOT like this?!?!?!?!?

The best female vocalist in the world at the moment in my opinion....

she was 25 in this video....she is an old soul.....which adds to her rich, wonderful voice....

im actually dying at the thank you "than kyou"

when she talks she sounds so precious and innocent. wthhh

Lay me down. Let the only sound be the overflooooooooooooow!!!!!

I feel like i'm out of this world and went to heaven when I listen to her, what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sent shivers down my spine. Oh Florence, you're just so perfect! 3

This is just perfect; this band is soooo good in live. And her voice is so strong and fragile at the same time.

Sings to angels ❤️

Florence always amaze me more with an acoustic version of her song

I love the way how she talks so innocent and then when she sings you can actually hear how big voice she actually has!

This is her best live version of this song EVER

Her voice...divine... chills... Its maybe selfish but I ate every single note. Carried me away. And she's humble too. An amazing woman!

Wow!! Goosebumps

So beautiful!

I think that was the cutest "Thank You" Ive ever heard in my life.

"thank you"

Insane

heard this song coming back from Lake Delaware. What a voice.

God I love her so much. She is so amazing, her voice always gives me chills. People have no idea what their missing out on if they don't listen to her.

I don't think I'll ever get bored of listening to this. I'm not sure that's even possible.

I think I love this better then the original... She's so great!!

It was so cute how she said thank you. Love her.

Yes, that would be amazing!
