Both my great grandmas lived a lobg life one died at 103 the other 105. One came from Ireland and the other came from Germany. They were both great women and very strong. Many years later after they had passed i named my daughter after them. I got sick really sick not to long ago my fever was so high I passed out ( I'm 29 yrs old) I had a dream about them both they were young and in their glory so beautiful. They talked to me about my daughter and how they loved her name and about my other kids they told me they loved me and to stay strong it was almost done. I wad crying I didn't want them to leave again I missed them so much. When I woke up my husband was freaking out as I had passed out on the tub full of water and I had tears that were running down my face. I couldnt stop crying I mean full on sobbing. When my great grandmas died I was old enough to get it I had been their cnas I wqs greatful they died and were no longer suffering I was filled with joy and happy and laughed a lot both days that they had died. I never cried over it. I guess I never knew deep down how much I missed them and loved them till this dream. Now I hear this song and sob everytime.
What an amazing experience you had, Sarah! You are obviously very loved to have had them come to you, as opposed to seeking them out through some sort of mediumship. Thank You for sharing your story - you definitely have a lot of those great women in you!!
And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (came to weeping) Came to weeping (came to weeping) And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night Madam, my dear, my darling Tell me what all the sighing's about Tell me what all the sighing's about And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night Only if for a night
one of my favorite artists to listen to while i run. her voice gives me energy . and when i run faster, the wind whisping by only makes things even better. it was a good run today
All of Florence and the Machine's songs are spectacular, and I keep revisiting all of her performances, the new from 2016, and these Royal Albert Hall videos as well. When she sang at St John's Hackney, her hair was braided in this same way, and she wore a very similar outfit. I watch both Royal Albert Hall and St. John's Hackney of one song, and then the same for the next song, lol. I like to hear the same song from different performances. I also watch all of her Bridge School performances :.)
Mi abuela murió hace 5 años y aún la sigo extrañando, esta canción encaja perfectamente porque ella asistía a todos los eventos de mi escuela con un vestido color rosa. También siempre decía que fuera fuerte y me concentrara en el presente, pero como ya no está no he podido sobrellevar muchas cosas. También me gustaría volver a verla aunque fuera una noche.
My grandma died last year, today would have been her 77th birthday, knowing the meaning of this song I can't help but think about her. Rest in peace, my beautiful angel.
My Grand mother raised me with her beautiful Christian values, she was beautiful, smart and tough. I can still hear from her : don't ever underestimated yourself ... She was a nurse with a bicycle in 1940 , France, Savoie region when everybody thought French were cowards, she looked like an Aryen poster but hated/despised nazism ... She is still a role model for me ... She was a decent fighter ... In loving memory of Paule Salesse Beaussant ❤❤❤ 5:08
When she takes the stage it's absolutely breathtaking. Just a porcelain image of beauty and perfection. Then her voice hits and cuts straight through to the soul. There will never be another Florence Welch and I'm fine with that.
How about a dead relative offering words of wisdom and courage. I dont even know how anyone would interpret those lyrics as the devil. Maybe illuminati I suppose too right?
The fact that she loved her grandmother so much that she' seen her in a dream is what makes me shiver. Not even death can outcome this connection between the two
What can be said about this talented Lady that hasn't been said already?........The Albert Hall was if anything a show case for an already SUPERB voice!.......If i've learnt anything it's that if your voice is so-so the Albert would catch it out because of it's acoustic nature (Perfect)..Florence surely with that performance has silenced anybody stupid enough to cast any negative comments about her singing talents!!......Wonderful,Gifted talent x
I recently saw her on stage, I just knew a couple of her songs from the previous album and nothing about "Ceremonials" so when she sang this song I felt like crying, what an incredible singer she is. By the time the concert was over I knew I was in love, unique artist.
WOW if she was any better... we'd...check that she could not be any better. Yet I am sure the words I said were 'I must sit in with the machine, on my electric sitar, if only for just one night.'
And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping, came to weeping (Came to weeping) And I heard your voice, as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange, and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonial Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands And I heard your voice, as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange, and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night My doe, my dear, my darling Tell me what all the sighing is about Tell me what all the sighing is about And I heard your voice, as clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange, and so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah) Only if for a night

Ceremonials was a masterpiece and still is. My favourite from them.
It's my favorite album out of the 3
+Jackson Catlett agreed. it was on repeat for months when it was released. so dark mystical. i cant even.
completely agree, though I still love all albums
It really is one of the most beautiful albums, dark and weirdly religious (?) I love it
I swear her voice is made of diamonds omg is she even human ???
Nuk është diamant i pastër, është i veshur me rrjetën më të hollë të arit.
3 things happened today:
1.My neighbour told me that he didn't like this song.
2.he got hit by a bus.
3.I had my bus driver license suspended
Took me a Sec to get it, he deserved it bruh! Only demons can hate!!
She's amazing! I have to see her before I die. It's on my bucket list.
Alicia 77 Its awesome, shes touring now... dont miss your chance

Got to see her live tonight and it was by far the best concert I've ever been to!!
She's so genuine, you can't fake this kind of passion
She loves her craft. She is a MASTER at it. Incredible to witness.
when she sings my doe my dear my darling i literally feel my soul ascend to the heavens god bless
I only watch these videos to remind myself these sounds come from a human. Assuming she's human
She is an angel that came here to fix music along with adele
Imagine ...Florence and Sia together omg

Sia not maybe Adele

Bow down before the goddess of music mere mortals! That haunting sound she makes at the very end of the song is thrilling.
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
Came to weeping (came to weeping)
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
Madam, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing's about
Tell me what all the sighing's about
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
When I was 12, this song haunted me... I have walked on my tiptoes all of my life and somehow that lyric haunted me... my own secret ceremonial
one of my favorite artists to listen to while i run.
her voice gives me energy . and when i run faster, the wind whisping by only makes things even better.
it was a good run today
Me too, whenever she comes on and I"m running its like the zen gets more powerful. :)
You could say you... Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father... Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers.
Beautiful
I love that you appreciate small things in life. Good for you!!!! You are awesome :))))
When i heard this song i felt like this was the first song i ever heard in my life
her voice has healing powers i swear!
All of Florence and the Machine's songs are spectacular, and I keep revisiting all of her performances, the new from 2016, and these Royal Albert Hall videos as well.

peter pan was right, I DO BELIEVE IN FAIRIES, after seeing this performance ofc !!!!!!!!!!!
She is amazing,she sings with her heart and soul. So beautiful!
I cry everytime
God, that's remarkable, I wish there'd be a better audio of this
This has to be the strongest live rendition of this song
Best performance ever. I think.
Your picture remember me the movie Matilda
holy mother!! her voice gives me goose bump. bring me to another world
This is the best thing I've ever heard
I can never go back to the studio version after listening on repeat
I feel how her voice burns inside of me, and the only solution is stand and listen
i keep watching this, and i still can't believe what i'm hearing!
her voice is all she needs. an example to what young women should aspire in music. dont be over sexualized and exploit your body . use your voice
The best performance ever!
Out of this world!!!!
I love how she can bend the notes and make them sound so beautiful and flawless. She just makes everything feel cosmic.
I literally listen to this everyday. It's my go song.
Mi abuela murió hace 5 años y aún la sigo extrañando, esta canción encaja perfectamente porque ella asistía a todos los eventos de mi escuela con un vestido color rosa. También siempre decía que fuera fuerte y me concentrara en el presente, pero como ya no está no he podido sobrellevar muchas cosas. También me gustaría volver a verla aunque fuera una noche.
It's official. I have to see her live.

A dramatic change in The band and Florence from Lungs to Ceremonials album. I love that with each album her persona changes. I LOVE IT
still brought me to tears
She's so bloody amazing!
This is absolutely majestic.
Rihanna Dior secret garden video brought me here
To be there live is a miracle.
Oh damn it She's a fucking angel
The way the throws the note away at 1.41 is bone chilling.
Florence is so talent! I loved her!
you can't even compare Florence with anybody, becasue the fact that she's real put her on a whole different level.
Favorite singer! ^^
My grandma died last year, today would have been her 77th birthday, knowing the meaning of this song I can't help but think about her. Rest in peace, my beautiful angel.
Grandma died last year too (2022)... what is the meaning?
Sensational what a tune during lockdown 2020.
out of this universeee!!!! give me chillsss!!!
She is a witch. She put a spell on us with her voice OMG OMG.
When I was 12, this song haunted me... I have walked on my tiptoes all of my life and somehow that lyric haunted me... my own secret ceremonial
Good lord, what a voice.
Seriously her voice is one of the angels... love her.
The strings in the background ohhhmyygodddddd
Amazing composition. Lovely lyrics. Outstanding song. The iTunes version is also very good. Acoustic. Much simpler. Essentially wonderful.
umas das melhores lives dessa mulher que parece não ser desse mundo... maravilhosa. ❤
My Gawd, how I absolutely love & adore her voice!
My Grand mother raised me with her beautiful Christian values, she was beautiful, smart and tough. I can still hear from her : don't ever underestimated yourself ...
She was a nurse with a bicycle in 1940 , France, Savoie region when everybody thought French were cowards, she looked like an Aryen poster but hated/despised nazism ... She is still a role model for me ... She was a decent fighter ... In loving memory of Paule Salesse Beaussant ❤❤❤ 5:08
such a wonderful artist and mesmerizing voice
She is amazing..not many ppl can match that voice!!
When she takes the stage it's absolutely breathtaking. Just a porcelain image of beauty and perfection. Then her voice hits and cuts straight through to the soul. There will never be another Florence Welch and I'm fine with that.
isn this song about a dream she had about her deceased grandma? its SO beautiful
Yes
I have tires in my eye's. This what music should do. Create emotion!
How about a dead relative offering words of wisdom and courage. I dont even know how anyone would interpret those lyrics as the devil. Maybe illuminati I suppose too right?
The fact that she loved her grandmother so much that she' seen her in a dream is what makes me shiver. Not even death can outcome this connection between the two
If I have to describe that performance in a few words its beautiful and breath taking.
She never disappoints. Such power and emotion. Love her.
This is still my favorite version of this song!! It always brings me back to 2014, the year i listened alot to this song!
words cannot express how AMAZING this women is...
Rihanna brought me here!
That is without a doubt the best live performance I have ever seen. She's incredible.
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
3:00 kills me!!

What can be said about this talented Lady that hasn't been said already?........The Albert Hall was if anything a show case for an already SUPERB voice!.......If i've learnt anything it's that if your voice is so-so the Albert would catch it out because of it's acoustic nature (Perfect)..Florence surely with that performance has silenced anybody stupid enough to cast any negative comments about her singing talents!!......Wonderful,Gifted talent x

This is the only song I like better live
I recently saw her on stage, I just knew a couple of her songs from the previous album and nothing about "Ceremonials" so when she sang this song I felt like crying, what an incredible singer she is. By the time the concert was over I knew I was in love, unique artist.
The lady paints with her voice ...
74 dislikes. What the fuck
I listen to this song almost everyday..the effortless howling at the end, gives me some kind of energy...
WOW if she was any better... we'd...check that she could not be any better. Yet I am sure the words I said were 'I must sit in with the machine, on my electric sitar, if only for just one night.'

Most hunting most beautiful voice ever
The best woman I ever seen😻
Such a talented and amazing singer she is. I adore her!
She's absolutely gorgeous and her voice makes my skin crawl. I LOVE YOU FLORENCE!!
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping, came to weeping
(Came to weeping)
And I heard your voice, as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange, and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes, my own secret ceremonial
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice, as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange, and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all the sighing is about
Tell me what all the sighing is about
And I heard your voice, as clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange, and so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night (yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)
Only if for a night
Uma das melhores perfomances de todos os tempos!
