Florence + The Machine

Recommended Posts

It's a very unpopular opinion but High As Hope is actually my favourite Flo album together with HBHBHB and I am all for this new album to have a mix of these two + Ceremonials. King is a great song. The only thing I wish that instrumental "bridge" part was longer and had some vocals maybe

I just had a first listen and I immediately love the song. For comparison, when I first heard Hunger (one of my favourite FATM songs of all time) I woke up to listen to it and like "um whatever" and fell back asleep. It grew on me, whereas this really hit me with the impact of hearing album v. Patricia first time. And for reference, I'm firmly in the HBHBHB and HAH being her best and most cohesive albums.

The song feels like a perfect bridging between the discography - it starts with the stripped-back HAH, before moving to HBHBHB grandness and then finally finishing with those delicate guitars and harp that what made FATM's unique sound (I feel like harp is the soul of FATM but I am still recovering for the lack of it on HBHBHB). I love the drum strikes on "KING" and then the bridge the drop has everything going for it. Her vocal delivery is nuanaced and then powerful, and the beat is so fabulously full of tension. :hair:

The lyrics are brilliant too, I haven't had time to properly process them but they seem fiercely self-empowering and also deeply introspective. Two parts jumped out are the sections where she sang about needing to be wearing a costume to feel like someone ("I was never as good as I thought I was"), and then needing props (a bloody sword, golden crown and an empty house for her mythology). It really feels like a reiteration that people can be themselves and have full creative lives without needing to stand behind a man. It ties in really nicely to the video too, especially of the floating musicians - symbolically perhaps of her among the male dominated field which she is taking charge of? 

Now the VIDEO - one of my favourites for sure. It has the mythological vibe, evoking her as Lamiae and devouring foolish men who think they can dominate her. I am loving her collaborations with INCREDIBLE choreographers - Ryan Heffington has done so much iconic work and it's so much better than just flouncing around hoping for the best like other artists sometimes do. When Florence did Lover to Lover it was a huge departure from flashy costumes and faux-drama - comparing this video to Never Let Me Go is like night and day. It feels like 'grown up' Florence, not suffocating under drama but presenting interesting ideas but still with a flair of theatricality. As a side note I dind't really like Autumn de Wilde's work on Emma but I think it's so important that women were in charge of this project, and the collaboration here is outstanding since the results and fucking awesome!!!

I'm so excited for the new album! I don't want to bring Lana into this so I will just say I can't wait to hear Jack return to the kind of flawless work that was Masseduction.

the flying musicians also reminded me of Conductor. in that song she sings about her ‘machine’ playing along to her music and stories so that she can understand herself. there has been a lack of ‘the machine’ in recent releases, and the video could be showing that she doesn’t need them anymore? idk i don’t think that’s the intention but the commentary on a band similar to conductor is evident :um2: 

Conductor : ‘Who is in control? Who’s playing who?’

King : she is controlling the band :wowcry:

The sudden neck snapping :rip:

I like it but it's not my favourite song of hers, although the lyrics are amazing (if not a little sad)

I'm really keen for the album because my favourite songs of hers on each album are usually not the singles, with the exception of Hunger because it felt so relatable


ur legit gonna look the same stop buying oil of Olay face cream

Conductor IS ONE OF THE BEST SONG OF HER DISCOGRAPHY. The melody, composition, chord-progression of this song is beyond words :wowcry:

At a high-level, this is all right! Few notes:

 

- Donkey Kosh =/= Little Donkey

- Here Lies Love, Sweet Nothing, I Come Apart, Midnight, Tiny Dancer since you're including Florence-only stuff like Wild Season)

- I personally wouldn't group soundtrack / feature / standalone songs underneath album eras just because they were released during that time; better to create their own section. 

- Honey is Honey Like and HBHBHB era

- Baptize

I believe Honey Like is one of High As Hope early pieces. It doesnt sound like she made that song for HBHBHB

There are a few different versions of it; I can see what you mean about the leaked version sounding more HAHy - but the song is in fact HBHBHB, and simply went through a process from demo to 'final' :)
