Right? This sounds like a Lungs B-Side with the harp and acoustic guitar. I absolutely loved Lungs and it legit made me want to cry to hear harp front and center in something she performed.
When she sings it's as though some ethereal god is singing and the high heavens are being let out. She's a timid person but when she sings it's something else.
Lyrics : Oh, the king Gone mad within his suffering Called out for relief Someone cure him of his grief His only son Cut down, but the battle won Oh, what is it worth When all that's left is hurt Like the stars chase the sun Over the glowing hill, I will conquer Blood is running deep Some things never sleep Suddenly I'm overcome Dissolving like the setting sun Like a boat into oblivion Cause you're driving me away Now you have me on the run The damage is already done Come on, is this what you want Cause you're driving me away Oh, the queen of peace Always does her best to please Is it any use Somebody's gotta lose Like a long stream I'll bear all this echoing Oh, what is it worth All that's left is hurt Like the stars chase the sun Over the glowing hill, I will conquer Blood is running deep Some things never sleep Suddenly I'm overcome Dissolving like the setting sun Like a boat into oblivion Cause you're driving me away Now you have me on the run The damage is already done Come on, is this what you want Cause you're driving me away And my love is no good Against the fortress that it made of you Blood is running deep Sorrow that you keep Suddenly I'm overcome Dissolving like the setting sun Like a boat into oblivion Cause you're driving me away Now you have me on the run The damage is already done Come on, is this what you want Cause you're driving me away
Loving this song so much! It gives me shivers every time she hits the first note. She has this magical gift of getting you enthralled from the start all the way to the ending of her masterpieces. TOTALLY MESMERISING.
Im in love with this version of the music ....aldo i love the original way , i prefer this ...Florence is always a new surprise , good surprise Love Flo love you !!!
4:03 she stopped the super fast vibrato there and it sounded so much better. I wish she'd pull it back more often because it's so strong that it gets annoying sometimes.
fanimedusoleil really? It had the tightest concept of all of her albums and had flow from each song to the next. Plus I think this album was her most critically acclaimed. Ceremonials was my least favorite by a long shot because the songs seemed totally unrelated and a lot of them were overproduced. Lungs had some sort of magical quality to it that none of her other albums have had since. It’s one of my favorite albums of all time for that reason.
razrv3lc For me this album as a whole was a tad repetitive. The concept thingy is true, but thats precisely what makes some songs forgetable: if you cage yourself in a style of songs to explore a subject, you can only do it so many times before its estarts to echo. Lungs felt like an honest and kind conversation, and Ceremonials like a wacky party where everything was happening at once. HB felt at times like a pretentious philosophy teacher that wont stop talking about an idea even though its already perfectly defined.
