Not necessarily written for, more likely given to. The lyrics are so personal and specific to her / what she was singing and writing about

Tell us about queen of peace demo king x

I mean yes sure, but the official word about it on release was that "The duo co-wrote the song with Florence Welch and Justin Parker."

So I would guess it was not "given to" them after being scrapped from HAH. If anything, it seems like it would have more likely been a baptize/electricity situation.

 

Hmm idk. I only listened once so I could remember incorrectly but idt there were any words in their version so many years after Florence's Jan 2017 version. 

 

Who knows / cares, but my only point was that it very much fits in the HAH world vs. being something like Baptize that clearly wasn't intended for her project.

I wish!

Out of curiosity, but do we have Ceremonials outtakes out there? I know it's very scarce of leaks out there but...

 

Would be amazing to have a tracker or something like that.

No and we probably never will have any. Those are better protected than all of the other stuff that's gotten out, thus far. These are the registered ones:

 

Contours
I Can Run
I Still Bleed Red
Love Note
Made of Stone
No. 1 With a Bullet
Oh Eden
Reunion

 

There's probably more than that in existence, but again, unlikely we'll ever get any of it, barring a retrospective anniversary repackage way down the road.

And the fact we already surpassed the 10th anniversary and nothing happened............... well. These titles are so good!

I always imagined they didn't have tons of outtakes from the first 3 albums because we got some lengthy tracklists at the end. Ceremonials itself clocked ~23 songs including the demos and bonus tracks, HBHBHB got something like 19 counting all the bonus tracks spread through different versons and God knows how many songs Lungs ended up having after every re-issue. I always cherished the idea of having demos and sketches along the "deluxe" versions, and thought it was funny when they labeled outtakes/bonus like Landscape as "Demos" since we never got any Final version.

 

If we do get something next year for HBHBHB while nothing happened for Ceremonails I'll be pretty pissed. But I DO WANT AS FAR AS I COULD GET ON STREAMING!!!!

I've never listened to F+TM before but today I chose three random songs from them (Cassandra, Seven devils and What the water gave me) and I'm obsessed with them now! I'm planning to buy the Ceremonials cd and listen to it fully when it arrives

Jesus, what a nice random selection to start from! If you want to listen to their whole discography I'd suggest you go chronologically, but tbh either album is amazing to start with

Is it gonna be another 3-4 year wait between album cycles  I NEED a new studio album in early 2025 LATEST

[Cherry Blossom 21,466]

How Big How Blue How Beautiful is genuinely one of if not the best albums released in the 2010s. I can’t believe Pitchfork gave it a 7.5 or something… GIVE HER HER TENS! 

 

I need Conductor, As Far As I Could Get & Pure Feeling on streaming… I really hope we get a tenth anniversary package with Tantalus and some of the other unreleased

Between a crucifix and the Hollywood sign, we decided to get hurt

Now there's a few things we have to burn

Set our hearts ablaze, and every city was a gift

And every skyline was like a kiss upon the lips and I was making you a wish in every skyline

my guess is that she will, but i would guess summer 2025 at the earliest (i feel like 2026 is more likely) — none of these are facts at all,  just a general feeling/educated guess

 

Also if it was Lowlands your talking about, she actually had to cancel :(

Oh I didn’t know that, I just checked ( I only remember either Girl und red or TV Girl was there too) and I think it was that one. 
 

I don’t mind if she goes later on tour, it’s better for my wallet 😂
