The reason for this video is because Florence and the Machine were originally gonna release this as their fourth single, but they were told they could do a better video for Dog Days Are Over, so they re-released that instead.
The song tells such an amazing story, I agree with others that the video doesn't really match, but my Lord is Florence stunning in that cobalt blue color!!
+Jean Pierre Moreno It was going to be released as a single from Lungs, but because of the success of Florence's Dog Days Are Over VMA performance they re-released Dog Days. I actually uploaded this music video to UA-cam years ago but they told me it wasn't available in the US haha
@ShortForAH03 It sounds almost like they took parts of a live recording and put those in the chorus instead. While I kinda get what they were going for it doesn't sound as polished as the studio version. Also as much as I love this song, DDAO was far and away the best move they could have made.
Same! I'd LOOOOOVE to hear her do something with Mr.Bungle (or Mike Patton in general) or perhaps with someone like Nile. Off-brand for both, with that latter, but I think it would sound really cool. I think she'd mesh really well with Opeth.
I have the biggest crush on heeerrrr. Also to the Concern Troll begging Florence Welch not to drink so much? She's said on interviews she sacrificed alcohol because it messes with your voice. Sometimes lyrics are poetry, as in images and metaphors designed to transmit emotional ideas, not literal truths.
I first came across this song on the revamped mid-2000s version of Melrose Place. I fell in love with it immediately. Everything is perfect, the vocal, the lyrics, and the soulful delivery of the music itself. I felt it to my very bones.❤
@@Lexamania that’s definitely a theme too. But I’m going off of what Florence said about it. She wrote this album after her bad break up and during the worst of her alcoholism. God I love her music so much
She doesn't do much lyricless vocals these days But honestly Shake It Out has that too, Spectrum, Cosmic Love, Rabbit Heart. Like pretty much all of Lungs has that, also Ceremonials in certain songs. HBHBHB has more phrased vocals
Oh wow, that's a strange thing to ask haha. It's clearly Flo. I thought it might have been a reference to her body double on How Big How Blue How Beautiful

I love all the little musical differences between this video and the album version!
i love this version so much more 😭
I can't even pick which version I like better because she's singing her heart out on each 😭😭 but in this one she goes berserk I kinda love it
@@aioia21so do I

One or the other they could’ve chose the 4th single to be this bop.
I'm dying this is gold
I don't get tired of this video... those eyes...
So it's 9/11/2018 came across this while looking at the Category 4 Hurricane named Florence that is moving towards my state. Weird coincidence.
My absolutely favorite Florence+Machine song & video.
Such a bittersweet, beautiful song.
florence is an amazing singer
so bad she doesnt get all what she deserves :(
The song tells such an amazing story, I agree with others that the video doesn't really match, but my Lord is Florence stunning in that cobalt blue color!!
2:40 I could watch that on loop all day. So beautiful and fluid, just like the song.
OMG! It's the first time I see this video... Wow I didn't knew that this song had (an unrealeased) a video! Btw, It's very nice!
+Jean Pierre Moreno It was going to be released as a single from Lungs, but because of the success of Florence's Dog Days Are Over VMA performance they re-released Dog Days. I actually uploaded this music video to UA-cam years ago but they told me it wasn't available in the US haha
I didn't knew the fact... Thanks for uploading it! :D
Jean Pierre Moreno I didn't upload this video, I did it on my channel years ago but UA-cam wouldn't show it.
+Jesse Colton I understand now... :3
OMG 😭 I didn't know this song have a video, this is so beautiful
Is this version slightly different from the album version? or its just my ear.
@ShortForAH03 It sounds almost like they took parts of a live recording and put those in the chorus instead. While I kinda get what they were going for it doesn't sound as polished as the studio version.
Also as much as I love this song, DDAO was far and away the best move they could have made.
It is, it almost feels like a "cheapened" version to me though... maybe I'm too used to the original!
The added violins in the last chorus are an improvement though, imo.
Sounds like she did some different improv in the last chorus too
every one of her dresses are faaaabulous!!
"I never felt so alive, but so DEAD" at 2;00.
I'm a metal fan but love Florence!
Same! I'd LOOOOOVE to hear her do something with Mr.Bungle (or Mike Patton in general) or perhaps with someone like Nile. Off-brand for both, with that latter, but I think it would sound really cool. I think she'd mesh really well with Opeth.
Same
Glad this song got its own music video 👌
I loooove this song.
I have the biggest crush on heeerrrr.
Also to the Concern Troll begging Florence Welch not to drink so much?
She's said on interviews she sacrificed alcohol because it messes with your voice. Sometimes lyrics are poetry, as in images and metaphors designed to transmit emotional ideas, not literal truths.
Yup! That's exactly what happened...
I first came across this song on the revamped mid-2000s version of Melrose Place. I fell in love with it immediately. Everything is perfect, the vocal, the lyrics, and the soulful delivery of the music itself. I felt it to my very bones.❤
omg. SHES FABULOUS!!!
A very relaxing, pleasant and at the same time very melodic song!!!!!!!!!!
How in the world did you get this??!?! Very nice.
Viktor&Rolf
♥ me encanta
Love the funky feeling this video gave to the song 😭❤️
Her song about her alcoholism. Bless her honesty.
It’s low key that somebody cheated on her. Because it says “I see you with someone else” and “Then you lean and kiss her on the head.”
@@Lexamania that’s definitely a theme too. But I’m going off of what Florence said about it. She wrote this album after her bad break up and during the worst of her alcoholism.
God I love her music so much
AWESOME florence!!!!
That may be the best video and, really, I don't mean just F+TM, either. That is amazing.
This should’ve been the video for Bird Song
So True!
Gorgeous! Can't imagine the cretins that gave this the thumbs down...Glorious video...yum.
nunca habia visto este video .-. me siento mal... que otro video mas esconde!? D:
That blue looks so good against her skin tone and hair colour :)
Love it!
Huh, this is different than the song on the album, wasn't expecting that.
God, she is beautiful! ❤
does anyone have an mp3 of the video version of the song?
Meu hino
this feels like an unofficial unreleased video.
hace cuatro años de que salio este video y apenas lo voy viendo *-*
Anyone here in 2024? ❤
I don't think she ever showcases her voice as much as she does at 2:40 on
It's truely beautiful
Does anyone know any songs where she sings like that??
She doesn't do much lyricless vocals these days
But honestly Shake It Out has that too, Spectrum, Cosmic Love, Rabbit Heart. Like pretty much all of Lungs has that, also Ceremonials in certain songs. HBHBHB has more phrased vocals
Why the hell wasn't this released?
Secret! ;)
Yess Florence!!! Is is just me or does the round nest look like the one for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child??
my main questions is does she like to drink hurricanes too
Good one! Hahahahaha!
I see why some people don't think that is Florence.
+EmeraldSunshine Who ever thought this wasn't Florence? She didn't have a body double until six years later on the third album :P
Someone asked the fan club if it was her in this vid. So i was responding. I didn't think it until they said it
Oh wow, that's a strange thing to ask haha. It's clearly Flo. I thought it might have been a reference to her body double on How Big How Blue How Beautiful
If it was unreleased, how do people get it? Was it leaked?
It was released briefly and then scrapped and deleted in place for the updated Dog Days video in 2010.
How did you get this video?
Atlantic Ocean Basin. PAST 1. Alberto 2. Beryl 3. Chris FUTURE 4. Debby. 5 Ernesto 6. Florence
Where the fuck does she get these clothes?
Gucci. LOL
She loves to thrift shop
when i saw her costume at 1:24 i was just like ughh. but otherwise i still love her music
Did she leave it in a taxi cab in new york on a small ipod?
This is giving me Stevie nicks vibes
I love the song, but does anyone else feel let down by the video??
+Ivy Stone it should have been far more depressing.
Love it too and agree about the video... I just found out about it today, 10 years later, but I haven't been missing much...!
i feel like i should pay for watching this
Uh how'd you get a longer version???
ka
i'll buy her voice for 1,000$ or more man
lmao the vid
this is defo sung differently from the album version and WHY WASNT IT RELEASED
I see that Viktor and Rolf girl :P
Não é a Florence no vídeo!? hahahha
Carlos Henrique Oliveira Realmente, não se parece com ela. Em algumas cenas, parece o rosto de um homem.
:')
this video feels a little bit..not connected to the lyrics...
it's beautiful but it's not an awesome video
