It was filmed in my Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv! So shocked and proud that such masterpieces are filmed in my glorious country. Love you, Florence!
@@katerynahorbatok6233 My great grandparents were from Ukraine so you're MY people even if I was born in Brazil. Hope peace wins this senseless war, perpetrated by a mad man with delusions of power. As soon as it is possible I want to visit your beautiful country and meet its amazing people.
@@MarcoR6 thank you for support! It is of great importance for us to be seen and understood! Please, pray for people in the Southern and Eastern part of Ukraine - it is getting very-very hot there!
I’m loving these simultaneously deeply personal and highly artistic songs on this album. Florence has always made songs with this kind of philosophy but Dance Fever feels like a passionate new take on this that we’ve not see in a little while.
When she puts her head on his shoulder it's as though she realizes that she can't run forever and that it's better just to accept him, and get comfortable. Really a brilliant piece of art.
My best friend died two weeks ago, after years battling depression and anxiety. Lately we were talking about how excited we were about Florence's new music, and this song came up on my Spotify the day his school called me to tell me had died. It's such a powerful gift to be able to listen to this song over and over through my grief knowing how much he would have loved it. I've had anxiety all my life so I know the feeling of being chewed up and just wanting relief. Being reminded of this feeling helps me to forgive him for choosing freedom. Sending love to everyone singing and dancing through their suffering.
As someone who suffers from crippling anxiety and depression, the line "I'm on fire but I'm trying not to show it" made me burst into tears. Thank you Florence for always keeping it real.
Bless your soul. My anxiety has been through the roof lately. I can’t imagine what it would be like for it to be crippling. I hope you can come out of it.
The bass line…the heartbeat in the drums…the repetition…this song feels like anxiety personified, nervous stims and panic attacks and bouncy legs and all. As someone with generalised anxiety and PTSD, this song hits. “Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated, if I would feel better just slightly sedated” and “You’re too sensitive, they said. I said okay, but let’s discuss this at the hospital” speak to so many of my experiences trying to manage my mood on a second to second basis. Dancing to this song is a form of healing and coping for me already! Anxiety can control our lives sometimes, but we can all have moments of freedom we claim for ourselves.
For anyone who battles debilitating symptoms of complex trauma, this song hits you so viscerally. Trauma traps you inside of your head and you spend every waking second stuck there, almost as if there’s an invisible barrier between you and everyone/everything else. It’s very difficult to feel seen, but every now and then you find that person, movie, artwork, song, etc that makes you feel understood. “Free” is one of those special occasions. Thank you Florence for making me feel less alone. Love you 💜
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER! GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS! MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR UA-cam STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE! JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU! Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6 "But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33 “For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
I don’t think Florence could ever know how many times she’s come through and swept me out of a state of fear, simply by releasing a song right when I needed it and letting me know that being a sensitive person is a strength and not a weakness. It’s the world around us that tells us we must be this stoic character. It’s not Florence’s fault I’m alive today, but her influence kept me going.
Couldn't have said it better. Literally when your holding on for dear life to your actual reality. Mind fucking blowing. Thank you for this. Thank you Florence for being. #saveukraine
It is not inherently bad to be stoic. It is not inherently good to be sensitive. It can be good or bad to be either, depending on the situation. Maturing is developing an understanding for when you need to be one or the other. The correct path to walk, as is the case with all things in life, is down the middle. It is never to one extreme or the other. It takes discipline and thoughtfulness to steady the path. You'll never always be right no matter how hard you strive to be as good a person as you can be. You'll never always be wrong no matter how bad of a person you end up.
Lyrics: Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated If I would feel better just slightly sedated A feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it As it picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me down A hundred times a day It picks me up, puts me down It chews me up, spits me out Picks me up, puts me down I'm always running from something I push it back, but it keeps on coming And being clever never got me very far Because it's all in my head And "You're too sensitive", they said I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital" As it picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me down A hundred times a day It picks me up, puts me down It chews me up, spits me out Picks me up, puts me down But I hear the music I feel the beat And for a moment When I'm dancing, I am free I hear the music I feel the beat (ahh) And for a moment When I'm dancing, I am free, I am free Ooh, ooh Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death And somehow still keep singing Oh like Christ up on a cross Who died for us? Who died for what? Oh, don't you wanna call it off? But there's nothing else that I know how to do But to open up my arms and give it all to you 'Cause I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing I am free, I am free I am free, I am free
Anyone dealing with serious anxiety crisis knows exactly what this video means. The ups and downs are really hard to cope with, sometimes you feeling like you're running from something and there's just a moment of peace when you can finally feel calm. I have another strong reason not to stop loving Florence since I heard 'Lungs' in 2010. Thank you, goddess. ❤️
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them! Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants! God heals depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING, God literally heals my physical pain when I ask Him! Trust in God to heal ALL! He is your creator! Lean not on man, you'll never be healed. Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name, for the world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! Have a blessed day, everyone!! ❤
yeah, this feels like a little peek inside my brain. No wonder I've always connected with her so much. living with an anxiety disorder is a very specific struggle.
Absolutely agree. The holding coffee and Bill on the phone while she's running around and around just screamed Hospital Staff to me. Like "here, you do all the things while I sit and look important" of fellow coworkers and you're just so dang exhausted plus anxiety. I felt that so hard and had a cathartic cry.
I don't know if anyone else noticed it but there is such a metaphor in her dress. her coat is similar to the coat that the anxiety man wears, and her dress is brightly red. basically the coat is the anxiety metaphor and the dress is her personality. she doesn't take off the coat, but she does learn how to deal with it. she keeps dancing despite everything (look at the lines "it's how it is, it's how it's always be") sorry for my poor vocabulary English is not my first language!
Yeah, I watched this a few times and just thought the same this go-around. Also, who is the young man in all the videos from this album? I have a feeling he is also Florence as a male figure.
Watched it day after day when I first heard it and nearly cried every time because i relate SO much. It's a must listen for anyone with a fizzy brain x
Lyrics: Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated If I would feel better just lightly sedated The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it As it picks me up, puts me down It picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, it puts me down A hundred times a day It picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out Picks me up, it puts me down I'm always running from something I push it back, but it keeps on coming And being clever never got me very far Because it's all in my head "You're too sensitive," they said I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital" Picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, puts me down Picks me up, it puts me down A hundred times a day Picks me up, puts me down Chews me up, spits me out It picks me up, puts me down But I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing, I am free I hear the music, I feel the beat And for a moment, when I'm dancing I am free I am free Is this how it is?

I think Florence has created a new genre, it’s called Cry-dance music. There really is a sense of cathartic freedom in her music that makes you want to dance it all out. And this song is another league! I can’t wait for dance fever really
2:41 "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing" This hits even harder when you know that she's standing in front of crematorium.. Song, choreography, acting, directing. Everything is powerful ~
First time I saw this video it came on right after a video of her visiting a young teen who was dying of cancer amd giving her a private concert, so that really stuck out
My mom passed away last December and not too long after that, Spotify recommended this song. It is my grief personified. ["I'm always running from something. I push it back, but it keeps on coming."] It's been nearly a year and I'm still learning to coexist with it ["Is this how it is? Is it how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing.]. However, I don't dance. I run. Running keeps my anxiety in check and it has helped me to process my loss. I run to this song because it has a perfect tempo for raising my heart rate and elevating my endorphins ["I hear the music. I feel the beat. And for a moment when I'm dancing (running), I am free."] The key to surviving loss is to surrender yourself to it and welcome grief ["But there is nothing else that I know how to do, but to open up my arms and give it all to you."]. The emptiness will never go away, but running and music will aways distract me from it ["I AM FREE.]
Thank you for sharing, sending you love - I run to this song too, thinking about my bother who passed a year & a half ago. Sometimes it makes me cry, especially this month with the holidays - florence is amazing.
Thank you for sharing this. I cannot express how your comment made me realise lots of things. I lost my best friend a month ago and I've been watching movies, listening to music thinking that I was escaping from reality, distracting myself, not wanting to face the fact that she is no longer here, but maybe that is just my way of grieving. I just wanna thank you; "The key to surviving loss is to surrender yourself to it and welcome grief", thank you so much, I think maybe I was destined to read your comment and find a little comfort in that phrase. Thank you. Sending you love and light x
The song puts a lump in my throat every time I play it. The song is just too good to even be on radio. I'm older (54) and have kind of lost my faith in "today's" artists/music. Most of what I listen to every day is 20+ year old songs. And it's because the music is outstanding...it contains real instruments, chords, melodies and the lyrics had something to say. Real singer/songwriters that relealed their hearts, souls and life's experiences. Stuff that made you feel....something you could relate to and that would soothe your soul. So long story short...Florence + The Machine does that for me now with this album....and just within the past few months I have purchased 3 of their previous albums. So...as you can imagine....I am now hearing Florence + The Machine songs in my sleep. But really, I am so very, very grateful to have them around in the present, and that I have finally truly discovered her/them. I suddenly feel anew and excited about something of the current/present. It had been so many years. Florence is a sort of goddess to me (like Stevie Nicks was to me back in the 1980's) Ladies like this are writing from their hearts and their souls. You can absolutely feel they have lived through everything they write and sing about. And I think that's what makes one "fall in love" with an artist and have a deep appreciation for their talents and their gifts to us. And these are songs that become timeless....and the music you will continue to listen to regularly for the rest of your life. They should play "FREE" in schools for God's sake. Show kids today what quality music and songwriting means. It May show their young minds that they're not alone. Somehow, I don't think today's "top 40" music really speaks to anybody. It's all about being rich, looking hot, and picking somebody up at the club. As if life is just a big party. It's NOT. Anyway...enough of my RANT. I'm just highly in love with, impressed by and so very grateful for "FREE" and all the other terrific songs written by Florence + The Machine. I think "Free" is now in my top 10 or 20 favorite songs of all time. And it's current....not 20, 30 years old! I am excited and amazed.
It is hard to explain what it means to live with anxiety in Ukraine now. But when I listen to this song, I feel that I have enough strength to live. Thank you 🇺🇦 I hope to see your concert in Kyiv!
I am Ukrainian and my daughter was born in April 2022 in Ukraine. When I put her to sleep in the sling, I listen to this song, dance and hum the melody. And it works like a charm❤ Thank you, Florence, for your beautiful music and support❤
I'm from Ukraine and this work is a brilliant way to say "we are united". Thank you Florence, Autumn de Wilde, Bill Nighy and the whole crew for not staying aside. Lots of love for you Florence on your new album. Lots of hope for the Ukrainian nation. Happy that you saw our Kyiv before bombarding. Glory to Ukraine!
From an American veteran. Your people's courage, bravery, and spirit shame us for our government's cowardice. We want to be with you and fight with you. Blessed be beautiful warrior angels. 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦

As someone who has lived what Florence is singing about, this hits hard. In fact, I was on class before coming here, and in the most silent way began to feel it again. Being able to say “I’m free” sometimes feels so far away, but today, hearing Flo, the idea of freedom is being more consolidated. Thank you, Florence. Love you. I’m so excited for this album. 💛💙
Freedom in a case ike this is not absolute, is hard work!!! I still live with the feeling that the song translate and Florence itself has been my everyday exercise of working on that freedom. Kepp the faith, feel what she's singing to you and u'll feel much better soon!!!♥♥♥
We may never be truly feee but it doesn’t mean we can’t make us free once and awhile. We just got o do it more often instead of dwelling and letting anxiety,stress and fear take over our lives
I have suffered from anxiety and was recently diagnosed with ADHD. This song resonates SO much with me. I always listen to it and I am learning to accept myself the way I am.
Much love from Ukraine. I've listened to Florence for the last 10 years, and now I am introducing my daughter to their music. Great spirit and strength we Ukrainians can relate to. Thank you. I am free! 💙💛
"Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital", lol. This is the most playful and fun song and video Florence has done since Kiss With a Fist. Can't wait for the new album. 😊
I know you'll never read this, Florence, but I want you to know that your honesty and integrity in your music will never be forgotten. You are not a pop star like so many of your contemporaries, but a true artist. These are not comments I write often, if at all, but It is my true hope that your music lives on forever. You are an inspiration to millions. Really. Truly. Honestly. Thank you.
You know, she has a point. When I'm alone at home, I turn up the volume, I dance, I cry, I laugh, and I feel better. It's exactly as she says, "for a moment when I'm dancing, I'm free." Because honestly Florence, same, when I'm dancing, at least for the moment, I'm free. It never ceases to amaze me how she puts my deepest feelings into song and lyrics. I love her music so so much.

as a Ukrainian fan whose favorite group is ftm it is such a pleasure seeing all of these mv’s that were shot in my city. thank you, florence, for all the support and your art at a time like this
“Is this how it is? Is this how it’s always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death, and somehow still keep singing?” This line never fails to bring me to tears. This entire song is a thing of beauty.
Dear god THIS SONG. I burst into tears when I first listened to it. The moments you’re dancing free of the burden of depression/anxiety and you just wonder is this how it is to be free of it? ♥️
My mother died shortly after “My Love” was released. “King” was the last song I texted her. “My Love” has helped a lot during these past few weeks since she died. I played it every day leading up to her service, the lyrics described my loss, love and overwhelm so well. Weeks later, watching this video brought me to tears. Imagining Anxiety also as a manifestation of Grief is incredibly profound. Florence has yet again spoken to my soul in ways unmatched by other artists. This perfectly describes how I’ve been feeling these past several days. An unparalleled description of such similar experiences and emotions. I may have found my new favorite Florence song. Chills. Thank you Florence. This is beautiful.

2:26 " Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing" So Powerful! The whole song resonates. How I have missed such music.
I feel all of this on such a personal level. The ending, while not in song, says a lot. We can't just make our anxiety vanish from our lives, but we can learn to live with it in a way where neither of us suffer.
As someone who deals with anxiety, this song hits all the levels and feels. Thank you my Enchantress, for giving to us all crippling with anxiety, another amazing song to soothe our anxious demons.
Holy crap, this already sounds like a full-on classic, on par with Shake It Out, Dog days Are Over and Ship To Wreck. Color me super excited for the new album
I´m psychologist and sometimes I show this clip to my klients. They know what it is about. Usually I can see sad smile on their faces, but finally they say, "this song give me new energy". So thank you.😉
I was just thinking about how that presumed doctor was briefly dancing with her, matching her energy in a stoic way as if he was trying to help her cope/find her freedom.
That’s very unorthodox. Psychologists are not supposed to do that. What resonates with you, has nothing to do with your patients. Even if you think it does. The internet sucks. Full of liars, pretending to be someone they’re not. As if people need that. 🤮
Me and my sister were studying in this university, in this exact campus, and we were often going to this canteen with our friends before quarantine. It's always nice to see any ukrainian locations and places in foreign artists work, great music and video, and thanks for the support.
Can I just say..this woman literally puts the depths of daily emotions, life, hardship, happiness, struggle and everything in between, into her songs and turns into art that let's us feel ok. I have always said she brings out my demons and helps me fight them. Thank the universe for Florence ❤️
Suffers for her art, which is a study of sufferance, which helped me with my suffering. Women with red hair have the highest pain tolerance of any humans.
You need to research stoic thinking. Stop being a victim who blames this and that for your lack of happiness. Look in the mirror, find your own route problem and fix it. Go back to school if you ain't got the qualifications... find some way of making it possible. Going the docs and talking about all the bad things that happen that 'aren't your fault' and looking for someone else to blame is not the answer. You need to think we'll yeah it might be a problem, but there's worse and bigger problems.

Man, I wasn't ready for that ending shot. "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow keep singing" ... words to live by in this modern age.
I first heard this song at season one final episode of "Shrinking". I cried hearing it. I am dealing with some sort of existential questioning, feeling meaningless time to time, but I keep going. I think about my loved ones, other humans and animals that I can help out. The feeling hits me, picks me up and puts me down and I had thoughts about being lightly sedated and medicated. Like so many other people, this song spoke to me. It gives me hope. There is so much joy and there will be times for dancing, but right now I embrace all the suffering and pain. They are there for a reason. This song makes me feel connected to other people who might be dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, loss of a loved one, but still finding some sort of joy in that song. Thank you FATM.
Omg same for me last night I'd finish the serie, I shazam it, only listen this song all day long today! I took time to translate it in french to make sure I understand the meaning.. and omg what a surprise! This is what I feel for soo long! Today I smile and dance like never before! Thanks Florence and the Machines🫶
I have cried many of your songs. But this one is truly special. The artistry, the lyrics, the meaning just really hit close to home. We get so used to be confortable around our fears and anxieties when all we want is to be FREE.
The truth that is hiding beneath this song hits me so hard that I burst into tears! Florence thank you for helps as also be free through your voice through your music through your dancing!!
If you ever get the chance to see her live, do it! Her raw emotions and beautiful words touched my soul and I sobbed several times throughout the concert. Honestly, closest thing I have ever had to a 'religious' experience. I live with crippling anxiety and depression as well as chronic pain and she speaks to me. ❤
I'm Ukrainian and now I feel this song at all levels. Crying at the end of the video An elusive feeling on the tip of the tongue. Hope, I would feel yourself free. Thanks for support, you are incredibly talented and beautiful woman
You should feel happy the Russians are liberating your country from the NWO puppets who have destroyed your country and have killed thousands of innocent people. Bless them every day in your prayer
My beloved sister is buried at exactly that spot on the cemetery in the final shot. My father died two days ago, and his body is gonna be there too. So hard to wrap my mind around all of it. That wasn't the war took their lives, but the war didn't give me any chance to see my father in his last days. Florence is my favorite singer and she literally made this place much more special to me
My whole heart goes out to you and your family. Florence is a gem whose voice and music can lift me in some of my darkest times. And millions of others including yourself facing what I can't even begin to imagine. Strength and love to you
This is the definition of Masterpiece. In a world with a lot of useless songs, we need more songs like this, with good production and necessary messages. That what art should be.
For someone who struggles with severe anxiety, this song hits so deeply and is like seeing everything I feel put into song. Florence has always been so incredibly good at turning feelings and things we struggle with into art. In love with this song and video ❤️
@@nursemain3174 yep, for me this screams BPD. It was so weird because I could just sing along the first time listening, simply because it so closely relates to those feelings.
I found myself crying too not knowing why. But I think its because you can really sense her joy and a weight being lifted off your shoulders... truly makes you feel free. It makes you want to get up and dance to celebrate that.
I cried too, but not from the music, it brought me a lot of uplift. It was the video, seeing at the end that it was filmed in Ukraine, realizing that thanks to the Russian war these places may not exist anymore, and all the comfort my anxiety may bring me at the thought of death is overwhelmed knowing that graveyard is going to be overflowing with bodies, if it isn't already.
My daughter and I listen to the this on the way to school most mornings. It helps her understand what's happening helping her cope. Truly a blessing to have artists like Florence that can reach people with heart felt songs.
i'm glad you're doing that for her. and hopefully more (i wont pry. not my business) it's just that my parents took a totally hands0ff approach to raising me and my brother and it was awesomely BAD. wounds that'll never heal bad. have to start all over every day BAD. Like neither of us should've had kids until we went through rigorous therapy bad. but hey, we didn't know that sorta stuff bad then.... i'm sewing up the wounds myself and doing my best not to make the same mistakes with my kids. as a mother of sons, it ain't easy. but they do talk to me, they are honest. they do let me know if or when i could do better as their parent (their dad is in the picture but he's also 100% hands off, wonderful, right?) but just spending the time with them really helps with this stuff. All kids have questions. many don't know how or who to ask. their parents should be the first choice, but i understand a lot of parents don't know HOW to parent. they're still in survival mode and forgot what it was like to be a kid. I never forgot, i just used it to my advantage.
Thank you Florence and the team! 🙏🏻 you guys made an amazing job. It warms my heart that this was filmed in Kyiv. Special thanks for dedicating this song to Ukraine and its people. Forever grateful 💙💛 hopefully all Ukrainians and guests will be able to visit our beautiful country shortly 🙏🏻
I visited Kyiv a good few years ago to see a friend from there and had the best time. Ukrainians are wonderful people, the city is steeped in so much history and I cannot wait to get to visit again. I hope you and your family are safe and well ❤️ Slava Ukraini.
This song made me sing and dance for the first time after the war started. I didn't even know it was dedicated to my country, to our people, so when I watched the video and saw this ornament on the wall, which is a national treasure, my heart stopped for a second. Florence, it's magic how healing it is. Huge Ukrainian "Diakuju", freedom is everything! 💙💛
Hey ,almost a Year, Ukraine does better than Expected, just wait a little more, and the War will be over. A Little Fact, Ukraine pushed Russia faster back in 2022 than Japan did in the 1900s.
I never related to a Florence song so hard before. The lyrics strike so personally as someone with severe anxiety. Also i loved the music video gave me some Kiss With A Fist vibes. I’m beyond excited for the album.
I have schizoaffective disorder you think you have it tough, balancing what I got is 10ft rubics cube, I relate to this song in ways I hope you don't ever have to deal with, however I feel for you, anyway, I wish for you inner peace as I know the anxiety you feel(this is one part of my mix)is very real and nothing to shake a stick at,, prayers and much ❤️
@@ashleypihlcrantz9836 Pain is not something that can be weighed upon a scale. Your pain, another's pain, they stand alone, not comparable. Please don't try to do a whole "I'm worse than you" one upping. I am sorry you hurt, but do not act as though some one else is less hurt.
If you can write and sing a song that can drive a 60-year-old American white guy to his knees in tears (Borderline+PTSD) then you have done something to transcend mere music. This song is a living entity; auditory healing, maybe more, I don't know. All I know is I wish I could thank her in person for this song and for so many of her other songs that speak to me in way I never knew was possible. "Shake it Out" is another such song. Only someone who has been through the fire would understand.
I've listened to Florence and the Machine from my teens. And now, when you know that your favourite band supports your people in striving to be free, it is very inspiring. The only thing we always wanted was to be free and be ourselves. Thank you for your support! 💙💛
"Free" is simply the best pop/rock song I have heard in 70 years of almost continuous music listening! It has an incinerating , unchanging, hugely danceable guitar rhythm; meaningful, relatable, treacle-free lyrics and the woman singing is right up with the strato-sirrius and the angels. It makes me cry, every time I hear it. No song will ever be good enough again! Lloyd Wright, Norfolk Island.
Verdade!! Esta era está fantástica (músicas, videoclipes). E um ponto positivo é que as produções do Jack Antonoff estão bem diferentes dos trabalhos da Taylor, Lana e Lorde
I don't know how many times I've watched this video - it's such a metaphor for mental health issues! It's cathartic to see the struggle in a music video, to hear the words in a song. It speaks to many, many people, myself included. The 'being exhausted and crawling back' at the end of video is powerful, as is Nighy always being there and only allowing her brief moments to be free of him as he's distracted on the phone. I dunno...can't put it into words, I guess. It resonated with me.
It belongs but no. and i know all of that because i passed trought all the things that you post and i were hopeless that it would get better and just wanted to disappear because to me these things would just stay and it were like it belonged but no and i were 100% right about it But i were not true and i lived só many amazing things, i tought that i would never have friend but them people just appeared and them i meet more and more and things just gets better and the hard and shit moments, they will still come and the pain will still come but we allready defeated it and with time it gets evident
Not only through the pandemic but forever and always. So many people suffer from anxiety in the way modern society works, if we can call it working. Some of them were actually relieved by the pandemic in some ways. Let's not forget that.
As someone who has struggled with mental health her whole life, thank you so much for this honest, upbeat, real, and beautiful portrayal of a form of illness that is so misunderstood. It genuinely made me cry. Thank you so, so much. I think this is what it is like to be, as the kids say, "seen."
I didn't cry, I just stared in shock watching my inner struggles play out onscreen. I also felt seen in a way I never expected and didn’t know I needed.
My new anthem. You wrote this for so many people. Now I’m going to listen to it again and again. All I can remember right now is “I’m free!” with your arms open wide. Today is a good day but I don’t know when the sky will fall again. I wish I could kick it out of my life.
I’m Ukrainian. And I just want to thank you for such important support during such a difficult time for us. A beautiful song and a deeply emotional video.
Hello from Australia. We are inspired by your strength, but grieve to see your country and its people suffer such unspeakable cruelty. May Ukrainian victory come soon so that you may know peace again.
Their songs are like thousands of fireflies in the dark. It doesn't matter where you are because they remind you that there's still a way. There aren't word to describe that feeling.
I’m Ukrainian and I tear up almost every time I listen to this masterpiece. “To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing” hits hard every time. Thank you for this wonderful song and thank you for the support ❤
I’ve lived with the spectre of anxiety and depression since I was about 7 (I’m 56 now). I am truly free listening to music and making art. The rest of the time, I do my best to get through each day. This song gives me hope. Plus, I adore Bill Nighy. Thank you Florence for this. I needed it.
As someone who's been involved in the music industry for decades, I've been lucky enough to be involved with the promotion and marketing of many songs that otherwise may have fallen by the wayside. I'm retired from that industry now but when I heard this song for the first time, I wished I wasn't. Look, there's music and then there's art. Wait, there's art and then there's a masterpiece. I don't need to sugarcoat this, but this is possibly the masterpiece I've been searching for my entire life. The songs complexities both lyrically and melodically is so masterful that I believe it should earn it a spot in the Louvre. Yes, I believe it's that good. Florence's opening line about wondering if she should be medicated would raise anybody's brow but when the filtered dirty grunge drum loop kicks in, the other brow goes up and your captivated. My first listen to this brought back memories of Trainspotting. At first the distorted and aggressiveness of the percussion seemed extreme and borderline obnoxious, but then comes Florence's angelic voice and you find yourself tolerating the abusive drum loop. Soon enough the breakdown surfaces and after belting out the line "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing" youre left yearning for that overpowering bass drum once again, and it's delivered. It suddenly makes sense why the distortion and aggressiveness and it becomes essential to the power of the song. Brilliant. It's now been months since my very first listen and I'm still playing it on loop in my car. I can confidently say, I have listened to this song more times than Florance probably has. I've analysed the hell out of it, dissected every word, even come up with multiple means of the song. And you want to know why? Because that's what you do with art....with a masterpiece. Thank you for this. Thank you for your contribution to the world. I feel like I'm a better man because of it.
So beautifully written. Such articulation. I don't know you, but I so admire your love and study of such an amazing song (piece of art). In today's world and public school system, rather than algebra, calculus and even u s.government or world history, all of which I flunked in high school due to disinterest, and could never use later in life, they should be addressing kids with how to cope and deal with TODAY'S ever so troubled and complicated world. A song & video like this is an education, and of such profound value, rather than Cardi b and her Wet Ass P***y.
this video was filmed in/around the university i used to attend, in kyiv, and now i am watching it and crying. thank you florence, you always make such good art, and it always touches me so deeply (this time even further).
O mundo te adora, deusa Florence Welch! "Free" é uma música incrível! "Dance Fever" já é um dos álbuns musicais excelentes da Florence and the Machine! Assim como "Lungs", "Ceremonials" (o meu preferido de todos os tempos), "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" e "High as Hope"! Que impressionante! Ficou tudo fantástico com o ator Bill Nighy!
@@mtscldstankie4048 achei King bem fraquinha, heaven is here e free são medianas pra boas, mas My Love é, pra mim, uma das melhores músicas q ela ja fez. Mas de fato, High as Hope foi o pior album dela (só hunger e patricia se salvam), no entanto os outros sao excelentes
This song reminds me every time about the struggles, the pain, the intrusive thoughts, the sense of isolation and numbness that anxiety brings. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, where we can dance free from all of that: anxiety is not our enemy, it is just a friend too much sensitive who really cares about us, preventing bad outcomes. Keep fighting my dears!
As someone who suffers from bad anxiety, this song gives me chills. The depiction of anxiety in the video and how it’s kind of always there in the background in a nonchalant “fuck you” manner is so spot on. Love this video.
This one spoke to me in a way that was so personal tears started to fall from my eyes, but I was smiling at the same time. I just recently realized how liberating dancing can be. I'm glad it frees her from her anxiety.
Eu ia comentar em inglês, mas como estou vendo um monte de conterrâneos aqui eu quero deixar a minha participação na onda brasileira! FLORENCE RAINHA, EU OLHEI E GRITEI ARTISTAAAAAA
Getting to see her perform this song live was like a blessing, the goosebumps and tears she’s given me over the years is more than any other musician has ever done for me. Florence is truly a goddess and I’m proud to be part of her “cult”
Quando 'How big, how blue, how beautiful' saiu, minha vida foi salva de várias formas. Cada música era um suspiro que falava diretamente comigo e com o que eu estava vivendo. Só pelos singles que saíram já posso afirmar que 'Dance fever' vai ser isso outra vez pra mim e não sei nem explicar quão incrível isso é. Tô aqui chorando agora e totalmente entregue a essa obra prima
Oh man, this goes so deep, it touches me to the core. The scene where she puts her head on the shoulder of the personified fear, in the face of the cemetery. Listening to music, feeling the rhythm, dancing and being free for a moment. Taking fear by the hand and starting to move it, that's it....🕺
I find her anxiety delicious and very likeable ... She's making me want to dance with mine and have a lot of fun! 😁And her music has always brought me a lot of energy and lightness, even to face the biggest problems. A real rebirth every time. A thousand thanks! ❤
My husband loved your music. He would listen to you on and off but always loved it. I’m sorry he didn’t get the opportunity to listen to this song but I’m sure he would have loved it. He passed away 50 days ago after 33 years of togetherness! ❤️ hmmmmmm. Maybe he found this one for me. Miss you Michael ❤
I feel like you wrote this song about me and my life long anxiety. For me, painting is the only time I'm working well with my anxiety. Thankyou Florence. ❤❤❤
This song sounds like the first day of spring after the two-year pandemic, so much hope, beauty and struggle conveyed in bittersweet happiness. It gave me tears of joy. I am sure this album will help us all process the last two years.
I love seeing this “goofy” side of her. I really like that she made a lighter song for this album, one that i can listen to when i need to brighten my mood, while still having lyrics that I can relate to. I’m really looking forward to this album, and this song was just what i needed to convince me to preorder tbh. I love you Florence, thank you for making me happier with your songs 💙.
Can't believe no one's talking about Bill Nighy and the absolute genius casting there. Love to see creative collaboration/crossover like this!
Amen!!!
I only know him from Chalet Girl, but I like him :)
@@chocolatemeatballs Oh, you need to at least see Love Actually then! Or Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
Actually I just clicked the video because of him. Haven't been disappointed.
@@chocolatemeatballs He plays Davey Jones in the Pirates movies, Love Actually, HP Deathly Hallows
It was filmed in my Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv! So shocked and proud that such masterpieces are filmed in my glorious country. Love you, Florence!
Slava Ukraini, hope you are all as safe as can be!
@@KYeung-be4lw Thank you for support! Hope to see you, guys, in our beautiful and revived country as tourists very soon!
Slava Ukraine!
@@katerynahorbatok6233 My great grandparents were from Ukraine so you're MY people even if I was born in Brazil. Hope peace wins this senseless war, perpetrated by a mad man with delusions of power. As soon as it is possible I want to visit your beautiful country and meet its amazing people.
@@MarcoR6 thank you for support! It is of great importance for us to be seen and understood! Please, pray for people in the Southern and Eastern part of Ukraine - it is getting very-very hot there!
I’m loving these simultaneously deeply personal and highly artistic songs on this album. Florence has always made songs with this kind of philosophy but Dance Fever feels like a passionate new take on this that we’ve not see in a little while.
She just doesn’t stop delivering 😍
That is all so true🤩
Agree - excellent work
Agree, cant wait for the whole thing!
Its like High as hope and how big ,how blue ,how beautiful have a child
Wow, the symbolism of Florence running away, tiring her out, whilst her anxiety never tires, driving in the car gave me shivers. Such powerful imagery
Omg....still running.......,.😢
Lol the coffee sipping
z
its amazing reminds me of the vintage era of music videos that legit made you think :)
When she puts her head on his shoulder it's as though she realizes that she can't run forever and that it's better just to accept him, and get comfortable. Really a brilliant piece of art.
My best friend died two weeks ago, after years battling depression and anxiety. Lately we were talking about how excited we were about Florence's new music, and this song came up on my Spotify the day his school called me to tell me had died. It's such a powerful gift to be able to listen to this song over and over through my grief knowing how much he would have loved it. I've had anxiety all my life so I know the feeling of being chewed up and just wanting relief. Being reminded of this feeling helps me to forgive him for choosing freedom. Sending love to everyone singing and dancing through their suffering.
My condolences to you and your friend’s family, may he Rest In Peace. ♥️
Sending much love to you and your friends family.
I love you Honey
I’m so sorry for your loss, I think understand how he must have felt though. I wish you healing friend.
I understand too. So many of us too. Lots of love to you and him, wherever he may be. 💕
As someone who suffers from crippling anxiety and depression, the line "I'm on fire but I'm trying not to show it" made me burst into tears. Thank you Florence for always keeping it real.
Bless your soul. My anxiety has been through the roof lately. I can’t imagine what it would be like for it to be crippling. I hope you can come out of it.
In my 30 years of living, that line describes perfectly what it feels like and it’s honestly one of the worse experiences one can have.
YEESSSS! I have autism and adhd so i get it
Yes I felt that
Same. One day at a time
The bass line…the heartbeat in the drums…the repetition…this song feels like anxiety personified, nervous stims and panic attacks and bouncy legs and all. As someone with generalised anxiety and PTSD, this song hits. “Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated, if I would feel better just slightly sedated” and “You’re too sensitive, they said. I said okay, but let’s discuss this at the hospital” speak to so many of my experiences trying to manage my mood on a second to second basis. Dancing to this song is a form of healing and coping for me already! Anxiety can control our lives sometimes, but we can all have moments of freedom we claim for ourselves.
Well said, for so many of us. Thank you.
understanding her a lot - Célio Junio
my legs were bouncing as i read your comment 😅
Very well said!
Exactly!
For anyone who battles debilitating symptoms of complex trauma, this song hits you so viscerally. Trauma traps you inside of your head and you spend every waking second stuck there, almost as if there’s an invisible barrier between you and everyone/everything else. It’s very difficult to feel seen, but every now and then you find that person, movie, artwork, song, etc that makes you feel understood. “Free” is one of those special occasions. Thank you Florence for making me feel less alone. Love you 💜
❤ Yep.
What a comment 😭
💯 I Hear You. Sending strength and much love to you.
Agree, things like that is very important especially to all the people that has zero support from family and no real friends.
Music is the only thing that really helps me. Maye the music live on in the voices of the artists who have soul and spirit.
Every song she dropped so far from Dance Fever is a masterpiece. I'm so excited for this album
You're right and you should say it.

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR UA-cam STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

well said, just pure joy
Waitttt. She’s dropped more songs. Where tf have I been
"To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing"
Thank you, Florence + The Machine! I needed that.
I don’t think Florence could ever know how many times she’s come through and swept me out of a state of fear, simply by releasing a song right when I needed it and letting me know that being a sensitive person is a strength and not a weakness. It’s the world around us that tells us we must be this stoic character. It’s not Florence’s fault I’m alive today, but her influence kept me going.
You said it! It’s 100% the same scenario for me. Each time she releases a song from this album I think “this is a song my soul needed” ❤️🌈
Amen Amen Amen!!!
Couldn't have said it better. Literally when your holding on for dear life to your actual reality. Mind fucking blowing. Thank you for this. Thank you Florence for being. #saveukraine
amen. great video
It is not inherently bad to be stoic.
It is not inherently good to be sensitive.
It can be good or bad to be either, depending on the situation.
Maturing is developing an understanding for when you need to be one or the other.
The correct path to walk, as is the case with all things in life, is down the middle. It is never to one extreme or the other.
It takes discipline and thoughtfulness to steady the path. You'll never always be right no matter how hard you strive to be as good a person as you can be. You'll never always be wrong no matter how bad of a person you end up.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
If I would feel better just slightly sedated
A feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
It chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, puts me down
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
And "You're too sensitive", they said
I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital"
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
It chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, puts me down
But I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing, I am free
I hear the music
I feel the beat (ahh)
And for a moment
When I'm dancing, I am free, I am free
Ooh, ooh
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing
Oh like Christ up on a cross
Who died for us? Who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there's nothing else that I know how to do
But to open up my arms and give it all to you
'Cause I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing
I am free, I am free
I am free, I am free
I believe "who died for us." Is not a question. "Like Christ on the cross,who died for us."
@@ablahday2558Then she says who died for what. Maybe implied question? Not sure her beliefs.
Thanks for putting lyrics up!!⭐ My Great God this is poetry ..❤️🔥
Anyone dealing with serious anxiety crisis knows exactly what this video means. The ups and downs are really hard to cope with, sometimes you feeling like you're running from something and there's just a moment of peace when you can finally feel calm. I have another strong reason not to stop loving Florence since I heard 'Lungs' in 2010. Thank you, goddess. ❤️
She taught me the freedom she's describing 💜
Hey! Did you know God is three in one!? The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit! Bless them!
Jesus died for our sins, rose from the dead, and gives salvation to everyone who believes in him and follows his commandants!
God heals depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, EVERYTHING, God literally heals my physical pain when I ask Him! Trust in God to heal ALL! He is your creator!
Lean not on man, you'll never be healed.
Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! People are bothered by his name, for the world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully!
Have a blessed day, everyone!! ❤
Aye, anxiety is exhausting. To be free ...
yeah, this feels like a little peek inside my brain. No wonder I've always connected with her so much. living with an anxiety disorder is a very specific struggle.
Absolutely agree. The holding coffee and Bill on the phone while she's running around and around just screamed Hospital Staff to me. Like "here, you do all the things while I sit and look important" of fellow coworkers and you're just so dang exhausted plus anxiety. I felt that so hard and had a cathartic cry.
“You’re too sensitive they say, I said okay, but let’s discuss this at the hospital” is SUCH A LINE
Totally agree. That line hits so hard.
... in the face of suffering and death to keep singing....
i absolutely fucking love it
@@k-ottic4276 The whole song hits so hard I think.
🔥 I say !!
I don't know if anyone else noticed it but there is such a metaphor in her dress. her coat is similar to the coat that the anxiety man wears, and her dress is brightly red. basically the coat is the anxiety metaphor and the dress is her personality. she doesn't take off the coat, but she does learn how to deal with it. she keeps dancing despite everything (look at the lines "it's how it is, it's how it's always be")
sorry for my poor vocabulary English is not my first language!
The whole video is full of metaphors. The dress even has an umblical cord!
That‘s why I love her videos so much - there are so much levels of perceptions and symbols to discover. Pure poetry for the eyes and ears.
Yeah, I watched this a few times and just thought the same this go-around. Also, who is the young man in all the videos from this album? I have a feeling he is also Florence as a male figure.
It's beautifully written, the main point is pretty clear so you don't have to worry sir. 👌
You vocabulary is nice and your mind is sharp! I didn't notice this and is so valuable reminder for the meaning of the song.💛
The lyrics are so accurate for anyone who has anxiety... I’m obsessed with this song and music video. LIKE OBSESSED.
I feel you!
Me too!!!
I feel you too
Watched it day after day when I first heard it and nearly cried every time because i relate SO much. It's a must listen for anyone with a fizzy brain x
Her face is a little to "British" looking for my tastes, but overall she's cute in her own way.
Lyrics:
Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
If I would feel better just lightly sedated
The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, it puts me down
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
"You're too sensitive," they said
I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital"
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
Picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
It picks me up, puts me down
But I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing, I am free
I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?
All like Christ up on the cross
Who died for us, who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there is nothing else that I don't know how to do
But to open up my arms and give it all to you
As I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
thank you
Thank you ❤️
Graaaacias 💚
So true, great to be FREE from him today, no harm from him Now, apart from the harm I may cause to myself

I think Florence has created a new genre, it’s called Cry-dance music. There really is a sense of cathartic freedom in her music that makes you want to dance it all out. And this song is another league! I can’t wait for dance fever really
I don't think I've ever heard a better description. Cry-dance all the way!
Yes! What a great description. I think Jack Garratt’s album Love, Death, and Dancing would also fall into that category
See also: Your Ex-Lover is Dead by Stars.
Could add like half of Los Angeles Azules’ music there too :)
agreed, it's almost like non religious gospel, it moved you
2:41 "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing"
This hits even harder when you know that she's standing in front of crematorium..
Song, choreography, acting, directing. Everything is powerful ~
Oh fuck. Good catch. Yikes, though.
First time I saw this video it came on right after a video of her visiting a young teen who was dying of cancer amd giving her a private concert, so that really stuck out
Perceptive ❤

Does anyone else think this is one of the greatest songs ever written..partly because of lines like that one?
My mom passed away last December and not too long after that, Spotify recommended this song. It is my grief personified. ["I'm always running from something. I push it back, but it keeps on coming."] It's been nearly a year and I'm still learning to coexist with it ["Is this how it is? Is it how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing.]. However, I don't dance. I run. Running keeps my anxiety in check and it has helped me to process my loss. I run to this song because it has a perfect tempo for raising my heart rate and elevating my endorphins ["I hear the music. I feel the beat. And for a moment when I'm dancing (running), I am free."] The key to surviving loss is to surrender yourself to it and welcome grief ["But there is nothing else that I know how to do, but to open up my arms and give it all to you."]. The emptiness will never go away, but running and music will aways distract me from it ["I AM FREE.]
Thank you for sharing, sending you love - I run to this song too, thinking about my bother who passed a year & a half ago. Sometimes it makes me cry, especially this month with the holidays - florence is amazing.
Thank you for sharing this. I cannot express how your comment made me realise lots of things. I lost my best friend a month ago and I've been watching movies, listening to music thinking that I was escaping from reality, distracting myself, not wanting to face the fact that she is no longer here, but maybe that is just my way of grieving. I just wanna thank you; "The key to surviving loss is to surrender yourself to it and welcome grief", thank you so much, I think maybe I was destined to read your comment and find a little comfort in that phrase. Thank you. Sending you love and light x
So sorry for your loss. Keep running - it saved me too.
Beautiful comment. Keep dancing (running)
The song puts a lump in my throat every time I play it. The song is just too good to even be on radio. I'm older (54) and have kind of lost my faith in "today's" artists/music. Most of what I listen to every day is 20+ year old songs. And it's because the music is outstanding...it contains real instruments, chords, melodies and the lyrics had something to say. Real singer/songwriters that relealed their hearts, souls and life's experiences. Stuff that made you feel....something you could relate to and that would soothe your soul. So long story short...Florence + The Machine does that for me now with this album....and just within the past few months I have purchased 3 of their previous albums. So...as you can imagine....I am now hearing Florence + The Machine songs in my sleep. But really, I am so very, very grateful to have them around in the present, and that I have finally truly discovered her/them. I suddenly feel anew and excited about something of the current/present. It had been so many years. Florence is a sort of goddess to me (like Stevie Nicks was to me back in the 1980's) Ladies like this are writing from their hearts and their souls. You can absolutely feel they have lived through everything they write and sing about. And I think that's what makes one "fall in love" with an artist and have a deep appreciation for their talents and their gifts to us. And these are songs that become timeless....and the music you will continue to listen to regularly for the rest of your life. They should play "FREE" in schools for God's sake. Show kids today what quality music and songwriting means. It May show their young minds that they're not alone. Somehow, I don't think today's "top 40" music really speaks to anybody. It's all about being rich, looking hot, and picking somebody up at the club. As if life is just a big party. It's NOT. Anyway...enough of my RANT. I'm just highly in love with, impressed by and so very grateful for "FREE" and all the other terrific songs written by Florence + The Machine. I think "Free" is now in my top 10 or 20 favorite songs of all time. And it's current....not 20, 30 years old! I am excited and amazed.
It is hard to explain what it means to live with anxiety in Ukraine now.
But when I listen to this song, I feel that I have enough strength to live.
Thank you 🇺🇦
I hope to see your concert in Kyiv!
Wishing you health and peace.
Strength and peace...
countless beings, including me, are praying for you all
Thinking of you and yours, dear Ukrainian friend. We are with you every minute of the day. Fiona in Paris XXX
Hoping the best for you all there. Stay strong.
Kyiv, before the war, feels like it’s from another world these days. Florence, thank you for your support and for standing with Ukraine!

And just like that this song, the whole thing from music/lyrics/video/theme, is the visualization of catharsis. Absolute beauty.
I am Ukrainian and my daughter was born in April 2022 in Ukraine. When I put her to sleep in the sling, I listen to this song, dance and hum the melody. And it works like a charm❤ Thank you, Florence, for your beautiful music and support❤
❤❤Je vous envoi plein d'amour ❤️ ❤️
sending lots of love
La differenza tra immagini senza senso e una vera STORIA da raccontare. Grande Florence. Grazie per la tua ispirazione ed il tuo talento.

Sending all the love to you and your beautiful daughter. Please stay safe ❤
I'm from Ukraine and this work is a brilliant way to say "we are united". Thank you Florence, Autumn de Wilde, Bill Nighy and the whole crew for not staying aside. Lots of love for you Florence on your new album. Lots of hope for the Ukrainian nation. Happy that you saw our Kyiv before bombarding. Glory to Ukraine!

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
If I would feel better just lightly sedated
The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it
[Pre-Chorus]
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, it puts me down
[Verse 2]
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
"You're too sensitive," they said
I said, "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital"
[Pre-Chorus]
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
Picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
It picks me up, puts me down
[Chorus]
But I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing, I am free
I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
[Bridge]
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?
All like Christ up on a cross
Who died for us, who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there is nothing else that I know how to do
But to open up my arms and give it all to you
[Chorus]
As I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment, when I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
Bill Nighy.
Thanks 😊
Thanks!
Those lyrics are so bad ☹️
You the champ! Thanks 🙏
As someone who has lived what Florence is singing about, this hits hard. In fact, I was on class before coming here, and in the most silent way began to feel it again. Being able to say “I’m free” sometimes feels so far away, but today, hearing Flo, the idea of freedom is being more consolidated. Thank you, Florence. Love you. I’m so excited for this album. 💛💙
yes, I feel the same. this song is perfect.
Sure! 👏🏻
Freedom in a case ike this is not absolute, is hard work!!! I still live with the feeling that the song translate and Florence itself has been my everyday exercise of working on that freedom. Kepp the faith, feel what she's singing to you and u'll feel much better soon!!!♥♥♥
We may never be truly feee but it doesn’t mean we can’t make us free once and awhile. We just got o do it more often instead of dwelling and letting anxiety,stress and fear take over our lives
I have suffered from anxiety and was recently diagnosed with ADHD. This song resonates SO much with me. I always listen to it and I am learning to accept myself the way I am.
Your journey sounds a lot like mine! I've found that having answers does help, and I'm learning to be kinder to myself
its all any of us can do
The more we accept the more manageable it becomes until can become very very manageable.
Self love and personal responsibility above judgement ❤️🔥
Just like me haha adhd hits hard
I got diagnosed with adhd and autism just before this was released and this was 100% my coping mechanism! 💛
Much love from Ukraine. I've listened to Florence for the last 10 years, and now I am introducing my daughter to their music. Great spirit and strength we Ukrainians can relate to. Thank you. I am free! 💙💛
💙💛
Stay safe
Sending you love
Keep well Olga!

"Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital", lol. This is the most playful and fun song and video Florence has done since Kiss With a Fist. Can't wait for the new album. 😊
I love how her music can sound different but she still maintains her heart in every song she sings.
And a beautiful heart she has.
Truth ❤️🔥
I know you'll never read this, Florence, but I want you to know that your honesty and integrity in your music will never be forgotten. You are not a pop star like so many of your contemporaries, but a true artist. These are not comments I write often, if at all, but It is my true hope that your music lives on forever. You are an inspiration to millions. Really. Truly. Honestly. Thank you.
You know, she has a point. When I'm alone at home, I turn up the volume, I dance, I cry, I laugh, and I feel better. It's exactly as she says, "for a moment when I'm dancing, I'm free." Because honestly Florence, same, when I'm dancing, at least for the moment, I'm free.
It never ceases to amaze me how she puts my deepest feelings into song and lyrics. I love her music so so much.
Frankly speaking.... Me too... Every friday evening...
SAAAAME! The first time I heard this song/saw the video, I cried! Ok, almost every time I hear it since
Sometimes I wonder if I should be medicated
If I would feel better just lightly sedated
The feeling comes so fast and I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm trying not to show it
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down a hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up and puts me down
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
"You're too sensitive" they said
I said "Okay, but let's discuss this at the hospital"
Picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down a hundred times a day
Picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spits me out
Picks me up, puts me down
But I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?
Oh, like Christ up on a cross
Who died for us, who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there is nothing else that I know how to do
But to open up my arms and give it all to you
'Cause I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free

“Is this how it is? Is this how it’s always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death, and somehow still keep singing?”
This line never fails to bring me to tears. This entire song is a thing of beauty.
Dear god THIS SONG. I burst into tears when I first listened to it. The moments you’re dancing free of the burden of depression/anxiety and you just wonder is this how it is to be free of it? ♥️
I cry every time I listen to this!! 🖤
The truth will set you free...Jesus: I am the WAY the TRUTH and the LIGHT.
He loves you..you can share all your burdens with Him.❤

A friend sent me this song and it has personally saved me. 💕🔱
My mother died shortly after “My Love” was released. “King” was the last song I texted her. “My Love” has helped a lot during these past few weeks since she died. I played it every day leading up to her service, the lyrics described my loss, love and overwhelm so well. Weeks later, watching this video brought me to tears. Imagining Anxiety also as a manifestation of Grief is incredibly profound. Florence has yet again spoken to my soul in ways unmatched by other artists. This perfectly describes how I’ve been feeling these past several days. An unparalleled description of such similar experiences and emotions. I may have found my new favorite Florence song. Chills. Thank you Florence. This is beautiful.
This comment broke my heart. My condolences. Tears and love to you.
I hope she rests in peace
Bless you all beautiful souls. My condolences be with you
oh gosh the biggest hug to you, may you find peace throughout this.

" Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing"
So Powerful!
The whole song resonates. How I have missed such music.
I feel all of this on such a personal level. The ending, while not in song, says a lot. We can't just make our anxiety vanish from our lives, but we can learn to live with it in a way where neither of us suffer.
This 👏🏻
Yes! Well put. That ending was so beautifully done!
Yes
@@ricardobianchi2004 Honestly the last 2 years have taken a collective toll on our mental health! I hope we all recover!
As someone who deals with anxiety, this song hits all the levels and feels. Thank you my Enchantress, for giving to us all crippling with anxiety, another amazing song to soothe our anxious demons.
Holy crap, this already sounds like a full-on classic, on par with Shake It Out, Dog days Are Over and Ship To Wreck. Color me super excited for the new album
Don't forget the drumming song!
I´m psychologist and sometimes I show this clip to my klients. They know what it is about. Usually I can see sad smile on their faces, but finally they say, "this song give me new energy". So thank you.😉
I was just thinking about how that presumed doctor was briefly dancing with her, matching her energy in a stoic way as if he was trying to help her cope/find her freedom.
Florence is the best❤. But this is part of one huge masterpiece that just makes this song and entire album even more beautiful 😭.
That’s very unorthodox. Psychologists are not supposed to do that. What resonates with you, has nothing to do with your patients. Even if you think it does. The internet sucks. Full of liars, pretending to be someone they’re not. As if people need that. 🤮
I expressed things to my therapist through sing lyrics. It was fun to make Blink 182 therapeutic.
Me and my sister were studying in this university, in this exact campus, and we were often going to this canteen with our friends before quarantine. It's always nice to see any ukrainian locations and places in foreign artists work, great music and video, and thanks for the support.

I hope you all remain FREE and that this ordeal will end soon. Slava Ukraini!
Can I just say..this woman literally puts the depths of daily emotions, life, hardship, happiness, struggle and everything in between, into her songs and turns into art that let's us feel ok.
I have always said she brings out my demons and helps me fight them. Thank the universe for Florence ❤️
Shake it off
🥰
Hurricane drunk
Oh lord, so damn thankful for her! ❤🙂🥲
Suffers for her art, which is a study of sufferance, which helped me with my suffering. Women with red hair have the highest pain tolerance of any humans.
this song explains my mood swings as a person with ADHD,depression and anxiety..all the joy, sadness, doubt, excitement, all the feelings...
Same on all counts ❤
❤
bpd too
Yes. Same. 💯
You need to research stoic thinking. Stop being a victim who blames this and that for your lack of happiness. Look in the mirror, find your own route problem and fix it. Go back to school if you ain't got the qualifications... find some way of making it possible. Going the docs and talking about all the bad things that happen that 'aren't your fault' and looking for someone else to blame is not the answer. You need to think we'll yeah it might be a problem, but there's worse and bigger problems.
She made a song about anxiety sounded so carefree, the contrast is genius
Reminds me of that same contrast in Breaking Down, that one sounded creepier tho
its the feeling of not having anxiety finally
Dare I say this could be her best album? All the songs released so far are pure art, heart, emotions and power.
i’m starting to this this will be her best too 😭😭
I’m starting to think this will be her best album as well
Agreed
JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM & HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT SO IF YOU REJECT HIM YOU WILL BE SEPARATED FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE WITHOUT GOD OR PEOPLE... YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR UA-cam STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

Man, I wasn't ready for that ending shot. "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow keep singing" ... words to live by in this modern age.
This!!
I first heard this song at season one final episode of "Shrinking". I cried hearing it. I am dealing with some sort of existential questioning, feeling meaningless time to time, but I keep going. I think about my loved ones, other humans and animals that I can help out. The feeling hits me, picks me up and puts me down and I had thoughts about being lightly sedated and medicated. Like so many other people, this song spoke to me. It gives me hope. There is so much joy and there will be times for dancing, but right now I embrace all the suffering and pain. They are there for a reason. This song makes me feel connected to other people who might be dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic stress, loss of a loved one, but still finding some sort of joy in that song. Thank you FATM.
Omg same for me last night I'd finish the serie, I shazam it, only listen this song all day long today! I took time to translate it in french to make sure I understand the meaning.. and omg what a surprise! This is what I feel for soo long! Today I smile and dance like never before! Thanks Florence and the Machines🫶
Me too!! just brilliant
I have cried many of your songs. But this one is truly special.
The artistry, the lyrics, the meaning just really hit close to home.
We get so used to be confortable around our fears and anxieties when all we want is to be FREE.
This is easily gonna be THAT song of hers that I play WAY too much. Like do u guys hear that acoustic vibe in the back?? It's beautiful
agree. it's so relatable for me.
Everytime the bridge hits, i start crying. This is THAT song.
I’ve already played it 70 times!
The truth that is hiding beneath this song hits me so hard that I burst into tears! Florence thank you for helps as also be free through your voice through your music through your dancing!!
Just dance your ass off and get lost in the music 🎶 and be whoever you choose to be 🌍✌🏼
I euphoria-sob every time I listen to this. Beautiful, transcendent, heartbreaking, FREE.
As do I.
you said it perfectly
If you ever get the chance to see her live, do it! Her raw emotions and beautiful words touched my soul and I sobbed several times throughout the concert. Honestly, closest thing I have ever had to a 'religious' experience. I live with crippling anxiety and depression as well as chronic pain and she speaks to me. ❤
I'm Ukrainian and now I feel this song at all levels. Crying at the end of the video
An elusive feeling on the tip of the tongue. Hope, I would feel yourself free. Thanks for support, you are incredibly talented and beautiful woman
You should feel happy the Russians are liberating your country from the NWO puppets who have destroyed your country and have killed thousands of innocent people.
Bless them every day in your prayer
Slava Ukraine . PEACE.

Slava Ukraini. I hope you're doing OK.
My beloved sister is buried at exactly that spot on the cemetery in the final shot. My father died two days ago, and his body is gonna be there too. So hard to wrap my mind around all of it. That wasn't the war took their lives, but the war didn't give me any chance to see my father in his last days.
Florence is my favorite singer and she literally made this place much more special to me
So sorry for your loss. May they both rest in Peace. 🤍
@@thefairytale24 thank you, I appreciate your kindness
My whole heart goes out to you and your family. Florence is a gem whose voice and music can lift me in some of my darkest times. And millions of others including yourself facing what I can't even begin to imagine. Strength and love to you
I am so sorry for your loss.

This is the definition of Masterpiece. In a world with a lot of useless songs, we need more songs like this, with good production and necessary messages. That what art should be.
Preach
She is art embodied.
🙏 AMEN
How can I write a song like this?
@ShawnHawkins I think I bloody well have several times over.
I'm absolutely here for 5 minutes of Bill Nighy subtly giving us the finger, just like anxiety does.
For someone who struggles with severe anxiety, this song hits so deeply and is like seeing everything I feel put into song. Florence has always been so incredibly good at turning feelings and things we struggle with into art. In love with this song and video ❤️
🙌🖤
Even though I have some aspects of anxiety this song really relates to other mental illnesses imo
as someone who struggle with that too, i can only say be strong, live one day at a time, hope u be ok ;)
@@nursemain3174 yep, for me this screams BPD. It was so weird because I could just sing along the first time listening, simply because it so closely relates to those feelings.
@@eef755 as someone with bpd yes especially the line about being on fire but staying calm
Such a powerful song, and one that anyone with anxiety can related to. Also, I love and covet that dress.
Omg I don't know why im crying to this... The feeling of relief after a badlife until now is awesome.
Same, I started crying after. I don't know how Flo does it but she just manages to release music that somehow speaks to my soul.
Same. The chorus just elevated the shit out of me and I cant help but close my eyes while crying.
I found myself crying too not knowing why. But I think its because you can really sense her joy and a weight being lifted off your shoulders... truly makes you feel free. It makes you want to get up and dance to celebrate that.
it made me cry so hard, glad we're experiencing it together
I cried too, but not from the music, it brought me a lot of uplift. It was the video, seeing at the end that it was filmed in Ukraine, realizing that thanks to the Russian war these places may not exist anymore, and all the comfort my anxiety may bring me at the thought of death is overwhelmed knowing that graveyard is going to be overflowing with bodies, if it isn't already.
My daughter and I listen to the this on the way to school most mornings. It helps her understand what's happening helping her cope. Truly a blessing to have artists like Florence that can reach people with heart felt songs.
i'm glad you're doing that for her. and hopefully more (i wont pry. not my business) it's just that my parents took a totally hands0ff approach to raising me and my brother and it was awesomely BAD. wounds that'll never heal bad. have to start all over every day BAD. Like neither of us should've had kids until we went through rigorous therapy bad.
but hey, we didn't know that sorta stuff bad then....
i'm sewing up the wounds myself and doing my best not to make the same mistakes with my kids. as a mother of sons, it ain't easy. but they do talk to me, they are honest. they do let me know if or when i could do better as their parent (their dad is in the picture but he's also 100% hands off, wonderful, right?)
but just spending the time with them really helps with this stuff.
All kids have questions. many don't know how or who to ask. their parents should be the first choice, but i understand a lot of parents don't know HOW to parent. they're still in survival mode and forgot what it was like to be a kid.
I never forgot, i just used it to my advantage.
Thank you Florence and the team! 🙏🏻 you guys made an amazing job. It warms my heart that this was filmed in Kyiv. Special thanks for dedicating this song to Ukraine and its people. Forever grateful 💙💛 hopefully all Ukrainians and guests will be able to visit our beautiful country shortly 🙏🏻
I visited Kyiv a good few years ago to see a friend from there and had the best time. Ukrainians are wonderful people, the city is steeped in so much history and I cannot wait to get to visit again. I hope you and your family are safe and well ❤️ Slava Ukraini.
This song made me sing and dance for the first time after the war started. I didn't even know it was dedicated to my country, to our people, so when I watched the video and saw this ornament on the wall, which is a national treasure, my heart stopped for a second. Florence, it's magic how healing it is. Huge Ukrainian "Diakuju", freedom is everything! 💙💛
Hey ,almost a Year, Ukraine does better than Expected, just wait a little more, and the War will be over. A Little Fact, Ukraine pushed Russia faster back in 2022 than Japan did in the 1900s.
I never related to a Florence song so hard before. The lyrics strike so personally as someone with severe anxiety. Also i loved the music video gave me some Kiss With A Fist vibes. I’m beyond excited for the album.
Thanks for sharing. May I ask why you suffer from anxiety?
@@leif1075 I assume because strangers on the internet ask why he has anxiety.
@@alee1220 I hope not..why would you assume that anyway? If so he can happily ignore me..no anxiety inducement or offense intended..
I have schizoaffective disorder you think you have it tough, balancing what I got is 10ft rubics cube, I relate to this song in ways I hope you don't ever have to deal with, however I feel for you, anyway, I wish for you inner peace as I know the anxiety you feel(this is one part of my mix)is very real and nothing to shake a stick at,, prayers and much ❤️
@@ashleypihlcrantz9836 Pain is not something that can be weighed upon a scale. Your pain, another's pain, they stand alone, not comparable. Please don't try to do a whole "I'm worse than you" one upping. I am sorry you hurt, but do not act as though some one else is less hurt.
If you can write and sing a song that can drive a 60-year-old American white guy to his knees in tears (Borderline+PTSD) then you have done something to transcend mere music. This song is a living entity; auditory healing, maybe more, I don't know. All I know is I wish I could thank her in person for this song and for so many of her other songs that speak to me in way I never knew was possible. "Shake it Out" is another such song. Only someone who has been through the fire would understand.
I've listened to Florence and the Machine from my teens. And now, when you know that your favourite band supports your people in striving to be free, it is very inspiring. The only thing we always wanted was to be free and be ourselves. Thank you for your support! 💙💛
Thank you for continuing to fight for your freedom. Please know how many of us stand beside you in that fight.
Zelensky started this war and Putin will finish it. Down with globalism.
Oh yess
Stay strong. I hope you are doing as well as you can under that circumstances and that you are safe and ok.
Keep warm and safe. Stand strong 💪
"Free" is simply the best pop/rock song I have heard in 70 years of almost continuous music listening! It has an incinerating , unchanging, hugely danceable guitar rhythm; meaningful, relatable, treacle-free lyrics and the woman singing is right up with the strato-sirrius and the angels. It makes me cry, every time I hear it. No song will ever be good enough again! Lloyd Wright, Norfolk Island.
This song is a timeless legend beyond the descriptions of art.
Meu deus o Dance Fever não teve nenhuma música mediana, tô pasmo! AAAAAAAAAAAA
Verdade!! Esta era está fantástica (músicas, videoclipes). E um ponto positivo é que as produções do Jack Antonoff estão bem diferentes dos trabalhos da Taylor, Lana e Lorde
!!!!
NOSSA SIMMM
SIMMMM
E o melhor, só está crescendo
I don't know how many times I've watched this video - it's such a metaphor for mental health issues! It's cathartic to see the struggle in a music video, to hear the words in a song. It speaks to many, many people, myself included. The 'being exhausted and crawling back' at the end of video is powerful, as is Nighy always being there and only allowing her brief moments to be free of him as he's distracted on the phone. I dunno...can't put it into words, I guess. It resonated with me.
It belongs but no. and i know all of that because i passed trought all the things that you post and i were hopeless that it would get better and just wanted to disappear because to me these things would just stay and it were like it belonged but no and i were 100% right about it But i were not true and i lived só many amazing things, i tought that i would never have friend but them people just appeared and them i meet more and more and things just gets better and the hard and shit moments, they will still come and the pain will still come but we allready defeated it and with time it gets evident
love you friend💗💞💞🩵your life will be just MORE THAN AMAZING because you are more than amazing and all of this are facts
Obsessed w the cathartic punk vibes in this!!! I’m sure lots of us can relate after all we’ve been through during the pandemic 💓
@Dating zone 3 GO AWAY
Where exactly is the punk?
Not only through the pandemic but forever and always. So many people suffer from anxiety in the way modern society works, if we can call it working. Some of them were actually relieved by the pandemic in some ways. Let's not forget that.
As someone who has struggled with mental health her whole life, thank you so much for this honest, upbeat, real, and beautiful portrayal of a form of illness that is so misunderstood. It genuinely made me cry. Thank you so, so much. I think this is what it is like to be, as the kids say, "seen."
Also sobbing
I didn't cry, I just stared in shock watching my inner struggles play out onscreen. I also felt seen in a way I never expected and didn’t know I needed.
@@meboecker this was exactly how i reacted as well. i think my mouth was hanging open the whole time
My new anthem. You wrote this for so many people. Now I’m going to listen to it again and again. All I can remember right now is “I’m free!” with your arms open wide. Today is a good day but I don’t know when the sky will fall again. I wish I could kick it out of my life.
Любимая Флоренс! Спасибо за поддержку, это так ценно и дорого 💙💛
I’m Ukrainian. And I just want to thank you for such important support during such a difficult time for us. A beautiful song and a deeply emotional video.
Dima ❤

Hello from Australia. We are inspired by your strength, but grieve to see your country and its people suffer such unspeakable cruelty. May Ukrainian victory come soon so that you may know peace again.
🟨🟦🧡🟦🟨 With you until victory!
@@-Deena. , thank you SO much 😊
Their songs are like thousands of fireflies in the dark. It doesn't matter where you are because they remind you that there's still a way. There aren't word to describe that feeling.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I agree with you
What a lovely way to describe their music
This comment 🙌🏽 ❤️
I’m Ukrainian and I tear up almost every time I listen to this masterpiece. “To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing” hits hard every time. Thank you for this wonderful song and thank you for the support ❤
I’ve lived with the spectre of anxiety and depression since I was about 7 (I’m 56 now). I am truly free listening to music and making art. The rest of the time, I do my best to get through each day. This song gives me hope. Plus, I adore Bill Nighy. Thank you Florence for this. I needed it.
As someone who's been involved in the music industry for decades, I've been lucky enough to be involved with the promotion and marketing of many songs that otherwise may have fallen by the wayside. I'm retired from that industry now but when I heard this song for the first time, I wished I wasn't.
Look, there's music and then there's art. Wait, there's art and then there's a masterpiece. I don't need to sugarcoat this, but this is possibly the masterpiece I've been searching for my entire life. The songs complexities both lyrically and melodically is so masterful that I believe it should earn it a spot in the Louvre. Yes, I believe it's that good.
Florence's opening line about wondering if she should be medicated would raise anybody's brow but when the filtered dirty grunge drum loop kicks in, the other brow goes up and your captivated. My first listen to this brought back memories of Trainspotting. At first the distorted and aggressiveness of the percussion seemed extreme and borderline obnoxious, but then comes Florence's angelic voice and you find yourself tolerating the abusive drum loop. Soon enough the breakdown surfaces and after belting out the line "To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing" youre left yearning for that overpowering bass drum once again, and it's delivered. It suddenly makes sense why the distortion and aggressiveness and it becomes essential to the power of the song. Brilliant.
It's now been months since my very first listen and I'm still playing it on loop in my car. I can confidently say, I have listened to this song more times than Florance probably has. I've analysed the hell out of it, dissected every word, even come up with multiple means of the song. And you want to know why? Because that's what you do with art....with a masterpiece.
Thank you for this. Thank you for your contribution to the world. I feel like I'm a better man because of it.
Your comment is like a poem. Thank you for your affection. You found the right words for it!
So beautifully written. Such articulation. I don't know you, but I so admire your love and study of such an amazing song (piece of art). In today's world and public school system, rather than algebra, calculus and even u s.government or world history, all of which I flunked in high school due to disinterest, and could never use later in life, they should be addressing kids with how to cope and deal with TODAY'S ever so troubled and complicated world. A song & video like this is an education, and of such profound value, rather than Cardi b and her Wet Ass P***y.
I'm so happy you wrote this, you explained perfectly why this song took a long time to fully understand, I really appreciate your perspective
this video was filmed in/around the university i used to attend, in kyiv, and now i am watching it and crying. thank you florence, you always make such good art, and it always touches me so deeply (this time even further).
Hope the university building was not touched by war! And if it was- it will be rebuilt exactly brick by brick
how to describe anxiety and depression with art and poetry❤

“And for a moment…I forget to worry”. I feel that Hunger’s message continues with Free…and I love it!!❤️
O mundo te adora, deusa Florence Welch! "Free" é uma música incrível! "Dance Fever" já é um dos álbuns musicais excelentes da Florence and the Machine! Assim como "Lungs", "Ceremonials" (o meu preferido de todos os tempos), "How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful" e "High as Hope"! Que impressionante! Ficou tudo fantástico com o ator Bill Nighy!
Simmm 😍
SIM 😭
Mentiu. As músicas estão bem medianas. Mas parece ser melhor do que o péssimo High As Hope.
@@mtscldstankie4048 achei King bem fraquinha, heaven is here e free são medianas pra boas, mas My Love é, pra mim, uma das melhores músicas q ela ja fez. Mas de fato, High as Hope foi o pior album dela (só hunger e patricia se salvam), no entanto os outros sao excelentes
@@pedrojourdan12 é questao de gosto, mesmo. My love pra mim é a mais fraca. A sonoridade das outras parecem bem melhores e mais maduras
This song reminds me every time about the struggles, the pain, the intrusive thoughts, the sense of isolation and numbness that anxiety brings. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel, where we can dance free from all of that: anxiety is not our enemy, it is just a friend too much sensitive who really cares about us, preventing bad outcomes. Keep fighting my dears!
This song is so powerful. I feel like I'm always battling myself but music has been my lifeline. Every line hits close to home.
As someone who suffers from bad anxiety, this song gives me chills. The depiction of anxiety in the video and how it’s kind of always there in the background in a nonchalant “fuck you” manner is so spot on. Love this video.
This one spoke to me in a way that was so personal tears started to fall from my eyes, but I was smiling at the same time. I just recently realized how liberating dancing can be. I'm glad it frees her from her anxiety.
Feels very much like 2022’s more mature counterpart to dog days. I LOVE IT SO MUCH 😭
@@miaaaa...9776 GO AWAY OMG
This song always makes me tear up. But it pushes me to keep going.
Eu ia comentar em inglês, mas como estou vendo um monte de conterrâneos aqui eu quero deixar a minha participação na onda brasileira! FLORENCE RAINHA, EU OLHEI E GRITEI ARTISTAAAAAA
o brasileiro, não importa onde, ele tá sempre lá né, meninas 🇧🇷
RAINHA
Getting to see her perform this song live was like a blessing, the goosebumps and tears she’s given me over the years is more than any other musician has ever done for me. Florence is truly a goddess and I’m proud to be part of her “cult”
Quando 'How big, how blue, how beautiful' saiu, minha vida foi salva de várias formas. Cada música era um suspiro que falava diretamente comigo e com o que eu estava vivendo. Só pelos singles que saíram já posso afirmar que 'Dance fever' vai ser isso outra vez pra mim e não sei nem explicar quão incrível isso é. Tô aqui chorando agora e totalmente entregue a essa obra prima
Eu tb! Hb é minha história tb 💙 e esse ta só como se a Florence tivesse vigiando meus pensamentos novamente rs 💙
Rapaz, há muito tempo não vejo uma música conversar tanto comigo como essa!
Idem!
This comment, I feel this too 💜
Oh man, this goes so deep, it touches me to the core.
The scene where she puts her head on the shoulder of the personified fear, in the face of the cemetery.
Listening to music, feeling the rhythm, dancing and being free for a moment. Taking fear by the hand and starting to move it, that's it....🕺
Beautifully stated. I so feel the very same. Nice to know we are not alone.
This song really touched me personally, she described the feeling of anxiety perfectly with this song. I cannot wait for this album!!!
This album is going to be AMAZING
Yea the album is amazing!All her songs are amazing and touch you when you hear them.I alsonotice there are no hate comments on her song
I find her anxiety delicious and very likeable ... She's making me want to dance with mine and have a lot of fun! 😁And her music has always brought me a lot of energy and lightness, even to face the biggest problems. A real rebirth every time. A thousand thanks! ❤
@@miaaaa...9776 what?
@Nilmasu what?
My husband loved your music. He would listen to you on and off but always loved it. I’m sorry he didn’t get the opportunity to listen to this song but I’m sure he would have loved it. He passed away 50 days ago after 33 years of togetherness! ❤️ hmmmmmm. Maybe he found this one for me. Miss you Michael ❤
So sorry for your loss❤
Healing love for you..
May your pain cease and your heart be healed. All love & power to you.
sorry for your loss and all the best for you
Hang in there; sending you strength.
I feel like you wrote this song about me and my life long anxiety.
For me, painting is the only time I'm working well with my anxiety. Thankyou Florence. ❤❤❤
This song sounds like the first day of spring after the two-year pandemic, so much hope, beauty and struggle conveyed in bittersweet happiness. It gave me tears of joy. I am sure this album will help us all process the last two years.
I love seeing this “goofy” side of her. I really like that she made a lighter song for this album, one that i can listen to when i need to brighten my mood, while still having lyrics that I can relate to. I’m really looking forward to this album, and this song was just what i needed to convince me to preorder tbh. I love you Florence, thank you for making me happier with your songs 💙.
