    Florence + The Machine - Howl (Lyrics)
    If you could only see the beast you've made of me
    I held it in, but now it seems you've set it running free
    Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
    Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
    My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
    You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to howl
    My fingers claw your skin, try to tear my way in
    You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to
    Howl, howl
    Howl, howl
    Now there's no holding back, I'm ready to attack
    My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
    The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
    I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
    Like some child, possessed, the beast howls in my veins
    I want to find you, tear out all your tenderness and
    Howl, howl
    Howl, howl
    Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
    Starts so soft and sweet, and turns them to hunters
    (Hunters, hunters)
    (Hunters, hunters)
    (Hunters, hunters)
    (Hunters, hunters)
    The fabric of your flesh, pure as a wedding dress
    Until I wrap myself inside your arms, I cannot rest
    The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
    I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground
    And howl, howl
    Be careful of the curse that falls on young lovers
    Starts so soft and sweet, and turns them to hunters
    A man who's pure of heart and says his prayers by night
    May still become a wolf when the autumn moon is bright
    If you could only see the beast you've made of me
    I held it in, but now it seems you've set it running free
    The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
    I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallowed ground

    • @anselknight1866
      @anselknight1866 Місяць тому

      Florence’s more rock oriented songs and bands like the Cranberries are great examples of how drums can go hard but also flow and groove, too many bands rely on the same formulas and time signatures. More innovative artists like Florence will always make music moving! Also yeah the harp is lit, another good album for harp is Bjork’s vespertine:)

    I read comments about debating which version is best: the studio one, or this one. When you listen to a few other live performances, you can hear several good ones, but this one stands out in particular. Reason is: she's nervous but confident, she's top shape, and the TV crew, above par. This performance is the results of the combination of all those favourable factors. The crescendo at 2:31 would've made me jump out of my chair. I wish I'd been there, that night.

      To be honest - I hate when people scream at concerts. I understand their excitement but, damn, I came to listen to music, not screams. Also it sucks when you watch a live video of wonderful song and then people keep screaming and screaming and screaming in that video. It ruins video. It ruins music and song. It ruins the show. It ruins the joy. Be polite.

    this was the first Florence song I ever heard and I immediately went and bought the whole album, but this still remains one of my favourite songs on that album. Since then I've seen her in concert 4 times and she's my favourite band. I can't help but notice that she seemed a lot more comfortable when she started performing barefoot and in long dresses or pants than she does here, in heels that look quite painful to wear, she is not skipping about or moving around the stage much

    damn it sounds just as good in volume, reach etc as the studio versions that just proves she is just raw beaming talent.

    This performance is so good, I cannot listen to the album version anymore. < 333
    [Edit] To give credit where it's due, that is as much to do with the sound mix as the performance. It's a much better balance on this performance than on the album version.

    Years later and this is still without a doubt one of the best performances I've ever seen/heard.

    Fan of very few female artists, but she's absolutely amazing. Ugh, if I could just have an ounce of her talent, I'd be happy.
