Florence + The Machine - Never Let Me Go (Lyrics)
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the seabed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So, so cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go (Delivered me)
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go (Delivered me)
Never let me go, never let me go
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet

50% TVD: Delena's first kiss
30% After: Hessa's first dance
20% About how deep and beautiful the song actually is
everybody forget nathan and haley one tree hill but because of them i discover this amazing song and i love this
30%!
yes yes very true
70%
I'm not in the percentage : here only to see Jamie Campbell Bower :D
"Because when people see good, they expect good"
"And i dont wanna have to live up to anyone's expectations "
😍😍❤️❤️
Madalena Veloso and I don’t wanna have to live up to anyone’s expectations
omg...that line killed me *_*
Damon 🤒
They really should have won a Grammy for this album
Seriously. Ceremonials is my teenage angst album.
Grammy is a scam, they only award the popular, never the most talented.
Obrigado "The Vampire Diaries", por ter a melhor trilha sonora, e ter me apresentado essa música maravilhosa da Florence ❤
"why don't you let people see the good in you" "because when people see good they expect good, and i don't want to live up to anyone's expectations"
Delena 😭
Aww
So true
Delena thing.. before the kiss😓
My fav
Who else’s think of Damon and Elena first kiss with this song
Wasn’t their first kiss
me
It was their second kiss
It was 2nd kiss
The last Jedi 722 3rd actually
Jamie Campbell Bower dancing with Florence is true art
He is so ❤❤
This got to be one of the most sensitive, heartfelt, poetic and soul touching lyrics ever written. And a melody inspired by heavens. Mrs. Welch it's a force of the nature, a phenomena. Hardly a song touchs me so deeply, the voice is fierce and daunting in the most positive way, it is aimed to your soul.
I agree except it's about drugs and alcohol bringing her religious experiences
@drliz6783 no its not, its about suicide. She tried to drown herself, but the ocean saved her and "delivered" her back to shore
8 year later, and this song still reminds me of delena🥺(2020)
omg same 🥺
same
editsbyced 1 week later 😂💗
editsbyced yep
The beginning of Delena
Can we stop talking about series and really aprecciate how beautiful and deep and meaningfull this song really is?
Caah Lolly 2019 and we are still here!
Saddens me, before the comments about any shows, this comment section was filled with beautiful inspiring personal stories about how everyone cope with grief. Was a very beautiful place filled with hope and love.
Caah Lolly yes please
no deal with it
@@ninaprasetya5561 it's about suicide by drowning
I spent my twenties listening to Florence and the machine.. still listening to at my thirties 💓
I am in my early twenties and still I am so in love with her songs!
I turn 45 in two days and just found her out.
It´s never too late ;)
I’m 72, and I’ve been a fan since hearing her first album “Lungs” - brilliant stuff!
Same here 😊
This song reminds me of what it’s like to struggle with mental health, and self-sabotaging behaviors. This song to me, represents the fear of abandonment, yet pushing everyone away.
This is the first time I ever cried to this song, and I’ve been listening to it ever since it first came out.
Me too. I was struggling to use the right words to explain it x
Somebody in the comment section said something that I feel it's so powerful that I feel it needs to be shared along: We can overcome darkness.
"the fear of abandonment, yet pushing everyone away" - you described the best person I ever met. That made me cry.
Did you know that Florence wrote this song while badly hung over?
She was in a dark place in her life then.
She didn't want to re-visit the song live for 10 years,
because it made her so sad.
She began singing it live again in 2023.
As someone who struggles with mental health, I can't count the times I've fantasized of drifting away in the ocean. The waves taking my suffering, drifting to peace finally. But I fight and I'm here today, just amazing others understand. But we can overcome our darkness.
Still here
A know where your coming from julianna been there plenty times myself in a dark place if a didn't have kids god knows where a would be but props to you that you are kicking ass and being here
We are drowning together, its dark, but your not alone.
Thank you for your message. It helps to know that I am not alone. It was brave of you to share.
Hold on to your strength
my biggest flex is that im here bc of my good music taste
Same 🙂
I'm here because I wanted to see an example of Florence Welch as a contralto singer, lol
Hey!! Can you tell me more songs like this. I would love to know your choice please ☺
Same I love their music I’ve been listening for like 3-4 years now 💕
Me too
currently crying, giggling, screaming, kicking my feet and ascending to heaven because of the combo that is this song and jamie campbell bower
i clicked on this bc i was curious and when he randomly popped up i was like "is that jamie?" 😭
Wow…63 years old and I’ve only just found this phenomenal singer. Loving it!
Never too late :)
She’s truly amazing. I love her music
Tvd fans here 8 years later like: 😀
me...lmao
me😙
Yep discovered some of my favorite artists on TVD🥰
Me lol
My favourite Delana scene!!! 💋💋💋
this song will always be my favorite, still gives me the same feelings that gave me the first time i heard it
+Karina Llanez Me too....Ceremonials is an Incredibly Other-Worldly album !!!
+Karina Llanez bcz you megalike it from first use. :)
the first time I heard it was on tvd and I was like.. I have to find out what this song is called it's just a basic instinct when I hear such an amazing song
+Paloma_r saame :)
Joanna Kutyna (:
2023 still can't get over this masterpiece>>>>>
2024 and still listening to this.
could have done with another "in the arms of the ocean" bit towards the end, song is basically dead after halfway through
Having suffered with my own mental health struggles there are some songs that hit your right there and resonate enough to drive you to tears … this is one of those songs 🥺
I understand you... I hope you are okay, stay strong. 💜🌻
If anyone's confused about this video, the black water seeping from her skin possibly represents her depression and the person mopping it up represents her friends and family. The person mopping disappears when she's happy and with the guy because they think she's beat her depression, but at the end when the black water is everywhere it is too much for her to take
Thank you so much. Really was having a tough time figuring out the music video. It's been like two years and I still didn't get it, but such an amazing song. I find it haunting but in a beautiful way.
+Glitter The Lollipop Loser I saw her like a siren, turning into foam because she wasn't loved back.
+Brimstone Moth and the janitor should be the witch
which janitor???
***** the old lady
My son just died. My heart hurts, somehow this song randomly appeared on my UA-cam scroll. I can’t say what made me select it, I have never heard it or heard of the artist before. This song struck me to my very soul. It is to me both wonderful and terrible for the wound that I carry. I will be putting together a play list, and need to find more like this.
I'm sorry for your loss. Wish your son finds peace wherever he is
Im sorry fit your loss God bless you
I’m sorry for your loss. In my darkest times, Florence’s music comforted my soul. I’ve never been through what you’ve been through but I hope you can comfort in her music too. Sending love. X
I hope you heal gently with time and your son rests peacefully in love. ❤
I’m so sorry about your loss...stay strong Sir💙
The first time I heard this song, I was 14 or so. Mental illness had started stealing over my life and there was very little light. This song somehow both made me feel understood in my darkness and brought a great sense of euphoria. Here I am again in my mid 20s, still holding so much gratitude and reverence for Florence.
Thank you FATM for helping me embrace all stages of my life with grace and totality.
When my mom passed away, this album helped move me from grief to acceptance and it still holds the most special place in my heart.
“No don’t “
“Why not “
“Elena”
There goes our favourite scene .
Yup one of my favorite Delena scenes I will never forgive Jeremy for ruining it
Kskdjsjsks amo
I love the way Damon says her name. It's more like a whisper.
Not mine
😢
If you're reading this you probably have such a good taste in music
Οφ κορς 💅🏻😂
You too, friend
Probably you watched tvd too if you're here ;)
We do!!!.
Or you from the vampier diariesHAHAHAH
She performed this live at her DC show, and I'm pretty sure I had an out of body experience there on the floor. It's such an amazing song and her vocals.
I cried the entire time…
You’re so lucky 😍 happy for you. I want to attend her live event early next year
Agreed, I saw her last week live and I burst into tears
This song describes heaven, literally, for a person who is not prepared for this cruel world. The arms of the ocean delivered me… I am not giving up, I am just giving in.
Initially came here because of TVD,came back again because of the powerful impact of the song.
Tbh same
Sameeee
Ikr it’s amazing
same same
My mum loved this song, she passed away last week, pray for her
Donzo 04 aww... i am very sorry may his soul RIP
but if she passed why would we pray?
Aww. Sorry.
r.i.p 😞❤
Donzo 04 so sorry
So dark. So beautiful. So moving. I love this song since it’s been first released.
the one and only song which makes me feel alive in my darkest time. thankyou so much for this. I cant describe how much i appreciate this song
What about Cosmic love?
Hope your darkest times find some light soon friend 🙏
I am here because of my good taste in music .;-)

Hahahaha, perfect !
My cousin was only 22 when he left this world and the last time I seen him in person was around my 16th birthday he told me how Florence impacted his life when he was dealing with addictions and emotional struggles. He found comfort listening to her and one of his favourite songs was "Never Let Me Go".
He wanted to be a positive impact for so many people but didn't get the chance to be his authentic self, because he was turned away by people he cared for.
Everyday I wish I could be with him again and let him know how much he meant to me and how much he inspired me to be myself. He was one of the most accepting people i knew, and helped me find acceptance of my sexuality and who i am as a person. I wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him.
This was one of the songs they played at his funeral. I had to do my high school exams and couldn't attend. But in June 2018 i was finally able to visit where he was resting. When i found "High on Hope" i played it while thinking of him and it was one of the most moving things i ever experienced. Thank you Florence for sharing your art with the world.
RIP Mitchell Austin Pinnell

So sorry for your loss....I'm currently experiencing a sister who sounds very similar to your cousin.... Though it is me that flocks to Florence for meaning and spirituality... My sister's addiction scares me and I don't know why but this song and many others by her brings me the right emotions I need in the moment. And reading your words tonight... Was meant to be. May you and your cousin have peace.💟
Jesse Scott 💋👀💘. Lights. Those who left in 2018, are guardians of Light. Don't worry. They will be back after they rest.
so sorry for your loss I cried while I was reading your comment !
I was crying while reading...(
Awwww I cried. I wish you all the best in life. RIP ❤️😭
Florence has such a powerful voice and her eyes are beautiful.
TVD made me fall in love with Florence and the machine and till date I still vibe to their albums
There's nothing better in this world, than Florence and This song...
Totally agree with you

"Cause when people see good, they expect good, and I don't wanna have to live up to anyone's expectations" 💞
Oh I feel this tonight 🦋
GOOSEBUMPSSS
“Because in the end, when you lose somebody, every candle, every prayer is not going to make up for the fact that the only thing you have left is a hole in your life where that somebody that you cared about used to be.”
@@tracker569 Tracker, Just random CHANCE that I’m here tonight with my SOUL SCREAMING from the PAIN of losing the love of my Life and SUDDENLY there are YOUR words and you UNDERSTAND that all the EMPTY reassurances and platitudes about “healing” don’t mean a THING!! WHOLE PIECES OF ME are just GONE and I’ll NEVER get them, or that kind of Love, back EVER. But to know someone FEELS what I feel is something to hold on to, so THANK you Tracker and I wish you some small measure of Mercy in healing your Emptiness Friend ❤️🩹
@@lindahoffman2692 it’s a quote from a show. I didn’t come up with it. Sorry for your loss
1. I can't believe it's been TEN YEARS that this song is out.

Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under all
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
And it's over
And I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Deliver me
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
And it's over
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
And I'm going under
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
But I'm not giving up
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
I'm just giving in
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
I'm slipping underneath
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
So cold and so sweet
(Never let me go, Never let me go)
Juan Sosa THANK YOU
Thanks!
Back hear in 2024, this song made me cry back then and right now. Is a a masterpiese any time and decade. And in tvd was perfect. ❤❤❤
My sister passed away 5 months ago. 5 days before she passed we were watching a TV program together in which this song was played. I remember the moment so vividly as the last moment of us as sisters watching TV together late at night as we had done as kids. Love this song so much, in all ways possible it resonates so sadly yet so beautifully. Some days it feels like I'm drowning in grief, other days I let the feelings ebb and flow like the ocean, other days I celebrate life.
I'm so sorry for your loss. You've described grief perfectly, or at least it's how it was for me a couple of decades ago when my dad passed. I'm glad you have that last memory with your sister :)
Beautiful. Sorry for your loss. I lost my older sister almost a year ago now, grief is weird and sudden. We'll be fine and a certain sound or smell and we just break down 💞
Grieving with you love, stay strong I know they want us to be
I'm so sorry for your devastating loss. ❤🙏🌹
I too have a sister, my baby sister, who I helped raise and adore.
Due to a car accident, we almost lost her when she was only 7-8 yrs old.
I was in HS and my world nearly ended.
Although we've long been adults, still now, I would be beyond bereft and devastated if anything happened to her.
I also lost my Grams, who truly was my very best friend in the world.
You've perfectly described and encapsulated how grief feels.
It sucks at and pulls us down into a bottomless abyss, and adds weight to keep you down on most days.
Then once in a while, we hear or re-listen to beautiful bittersweet songs, same with movies/shows/pictures.
Then we're lucky enough to be granted a small reprieve from all of that absolute f*cking (please forgive my language, but it's only way to truly honestly describe it) pain and sorrow, and truly begin to heal.
Though we most likely never ever recover, we adapt, we must carry on.
And through those reprieves, as you so wonderfully put it, we remember and regain our ability to celebrate the lives of our loved ones again, by trying to no longer allow grief to control us.
Someone else in this thread said that our loved ones want us to be strong.
These beautiful memories shared remind us that we are so much stronger than any of us ever thought we were capable of being.❤️💙
Thank you for sharing your special sacred memories of your lovely beloved sister.❤
Sharing our loving rememberances is how we keep our beloved loved one's alive.
I hope we never stop, so that they always and forever may live on.💛🙏🌹
Sophie and others on this thread, I apologize for such a long post, I just really wanted to express my sincere condolences to you and let you know that I see you, send you a virtual hug, my thoughts, and prayers.
Please hang in there, sweetheart ❤🙏🌹🩷
As HRH Queen Elizabeth II, may she RIP, has ever so eloquently, yet brutally honestly said, "Grief is the price we pay for love." ❤️💔🩷
And truer words have never rang more true.
Vampire Diaries??? Season 3
Sorry for your loss😢
Delena brought me here..but lets appreciate Florence. This song is so difficult that i have heard no one pull it off perfectly. Thanks TVD for giving me Florence ❤️
It’s been 8 years and I still can’t forgive Jeremy for ruining my favorite Delena moment
Haha same ❤️❤️
Memory serves😭😭...
omgg haha samee
Be patient baby, I know what you feel 😌
Me neither 😪
You know what I need? A Florence song with Jamie Campbell Bower... it could even be a special version of this one... I just thing it would be the best thing ever. 🖤
My son was born still on 2019 and I found this song when searching somewhat aimlessly for something to play at his funeral. I didn't want to go to his funeral, I don't want to carry on loving without him. Then this song played, and I lay on the floor and sobbed, and then played it again, and again. This song saved me, and allowed me to find a way through grief. I played it at his funeral and anytime I miss him I return to it. I hope that Florence knows the impact she has, it is beyond words. She gave me something special that day, understanding, a place for pain, and hope. And she gave my other children their mother back. Forever in debt.
Speechless. You are the hell out of a woman, girl. Your story is extraordinary ❤️ Thank you for sharing it and being so brave ❤️ I'm sending my biggest support and love to you and your family ❤️ Your Children must feel proud of his Mother, especially your Guardian Angel ❤️ Also, my deepest condolences to all of you 🥺❤️ God bless you ❤️🥺😘
So so sorry your loss. I seen what it did to my mum losing my brother 2 weeks before his 1st birthday. Your one hell of a woman 💙
[Verse 1]
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Cathedral where you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under all
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
[Chorus]
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
[Verse 2]
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
And now I am under, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
[Chorus]
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven, for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
[Bridge]
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
And the arms of the ocean so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion I never knew at all
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner released
And the arms of the ocean delivered me
[Outro]
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
Delivered me
Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up, I'm just giving in
I'm slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
KUY DEAN .
thanks babe
Beautiful ♡ Just transposed onto piano/keyboard, and your shared lyrics made it a breeze. Thank you so much, my friend :)
Have a blessed & wonderful week. Xx
merci 😍
Can we just appreciate how beautiful her voice is
Fr
super powerful !
Right !! 👍
pretty sure thats why were here wise guy
100% you’re right
I was just watching a young lady singing this in remembrance of her father who passed away from an accident. Such beauty. Watching her sing this and holding it together. The voice. 2022. Thankyou. 🥰😇💜
This is a song I haven't heard in a while and she done an amazing cover of this, so much connection and feelings when she song it for Aus! 😊🙌
I just lost my father and can understand her pain while listening to these words
I'm here for the very same reason....
I just went to the Perth, Australia concert! My first time seeing her and it was better thsn i could've ever imagined. Ive been listening to her my whole life but this song especially has got me through thr darkest times. She performed this song for the first time in 10 years and it was the most special thing ever!!
So happy for you!
This was the first song I've ever from them, but I don't remember why I used to think I didn't liked it so I always skipped it, later I began to hear more from them because of Shake it out, then I started to hear all of their songs skipping this one, last week I was doing homework when all the sudden this song came on, I didn't skip it just because I was concentrated ( I wasn't paying attention to any songs at all), but as soon as the chorus came my attention was drawn into the song completely, I literally stopped just to pay attention to the song and ended up almost in tears from how much I loved it (that or I was really sick of doing homework that I loved how this song relieved me), now I'm hearing it almost everyday and for now it is my favorite song. Florence could be one of the best singers ever, so glad she is getting the recognition she deserves.
Thank you so much for yr comment. I agree with u completely.
You should try making sweet love with this playing in the background. Just EPIC.
The same happened to me!
I love a lot this song, I always play this song when I take a shower!
Make me feel very relax and take me to another world :)
agree - it's also one of my fav songs .... and Jamie Campbell Bower as a cherry on the cake
The same, I started listening to them now in 2015 and I deeply regret of having not heard them before.
Any Vampire Diaries fans out there?
Yesss
yeeeeess
Riley as in the one who was 'sired' to Victoria ?
yessss
hell yeah
Still remains my favorite song of all time! Florence is THE goddess of alternative music!!!! ❤️🔥
I still remember this song like it was yesterday. I love seeing Jamie Campbell Bower here! This also reminded me of one cool Caius Volturi fanfic, I've read a long time ago
I accept the link 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
DELENA 😭😍2020
😢😢😢😭
por que essa série tinha que acabar 💔😻😭
This song is magic
@@luanafreitas8965 Umas das piores coisas que aconteceu 💔😭
Miss sooo muuuch 💔💔💔💔💔
The lyrics of this song are so gloomy, almost depressing. But it moves me in spite of the suicidal message.
You're the first person I've come across who draws the same conclusion about the song's meaning.
I read somewhere that it's suppose to be about a religious girl who love the ocean and falls in love with a sailor. But one day he goes out to sea and never returns so the girl drowns herself in the ocean.
It's either this one or "What the Water Gave Me" that is about the author Virginia Woolf and how she committed suicide by drowning.
Lilyan Chadsey Virginia Woolf was a beautiful mind and a tragic artist. Love her work ❤
does everyone agree its a suicide song? is that acknowledged somewhere? i didnt see it that way. i dont mind being 'wrong' about this. . . . i like it and i did a cover of it w vocal + keyboard, if u r interested
39 year old man here just rewatching vampire diaries loving every minute and being obsessed with this song all over again
The piano from 3:56 onward is one of the most beautiful things I've heard. It was what hooked me on this song on the first listen. It's a real shame they don't often play it on live shows.
Shout out to all the people who knew this song before any tv show 🙌🙌
I feel like this song is about finding absolution and forgiveness after committing suicide, because in a lot of religions, suicide is considered a sin. Hence why she calls herself a sinner throughout the song and there’s so much religious imagery in the lyrics.
Florence Welch’s grandmother had bipolar disorder and committed suicide and that impacted the family very deeply. Florence wrote the song Falling about that experience. And I wonder if this one was also inspired by that.
Either way, it gave me a lot of comfort at a time in my life when I was in that place myself, thank you so much for making the kind of music you make.
Interesting, thanks for the backstory. I plan to end my own life like that one day. Not anytime soon, but I'm not going to end up in a hospice I can tell you that much.
ptanyuh I can understand the sentiment since I’ve been there myself. I will point out it was because of chronic depression in my case and that I got the treatment I needed and am okay now. May I ask how old you are? Since you’re thinking along these lines
ptanyuh I don’t know who u r , but i hope that u found happiness
I have survived multiple suicide attempts. Multiple overdoses, strangle, slit wrists... not a good time. I like to think that my mind is no longer broken...just fractured. It stays with you, forever. Childhood was not good to me. Young adulthood not much better. This song does call to mind the feeling of letting go of the pain in an attempt to stop it all. Every time I woke up was surprising. But I figure maybe there is a reason why I'm still here so I'm willing to wait it out and see. This song doesn't really remind me of dying. It reminds me of living. Of the receding of vision and consciousness and then the moment of clarity when you give in to life. I'm glad now that I'm still here and that I've found beauty and meaning in the darkness of life. It's good to visit the dark recesses of the mind but the trick is not to linger. I hope for more than redemption. Only time will tell. But I don't believe that a person who's had such pain and torment should be punished for having such traumatic experiences that lead us to wanting to be released from it. I don't think we're doomed. I think we're still loved and still redeemable. I don't believe that God ever really gives up on us because he gives us those odd signs when we're too weak to carry on any longer. We just have to be paying attention.
Deliver me~💗
The way she screams at 3:42 with a face of sheer heartbreak is just amazingly emotional
I just saw Florence perform this live and explain that this song was during a very hard time for her and it was hard for her to sing, but her fans keep wanting this song. She said it has morphed into something deeper for her now, and though it still makes her cry she is loving it again. Such a beautiful song and even more powerful live. #inFlorencesCult
I can't help but miss the lungs and ceremonials era, where I admire how she's developed in her artistic meaning through her songs in HBHBHB, I always experience such a euphoric feeling when listening to her older songs, especially ceremonials, like they could all just swallow you up
The realist comment ever.
same here. i love HBHBHB, but ceremonials is my favourite album.
That's what Florence has always been to me. This presence and aura which she embodies through her music feels as if it could swallow up my existence, my world, and my soul. More than swallowing me whole I feel as if the music demands that I entirely capitulate.
HBHBHB is probably my favorite album from her because it feels a lot more cohesive and grounded than ceremonials and lungs but I love them all tbh
I felt the same way but HBHBHB takes longer to appreciate. Also check out her recently released Conductor, As Far As I Could Get, Pure feeling, Hiding, Too Much Is Never Enough, and I Will Be. It like she released an entire extra album with these songs.
Listened to this song on repeat when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor 6 years ago. And just like the song says, I’m not giving up just giving in, which means accepting the cards I was dealt and fighting to live.
I pray everything turns out fine for you Sage. 💙💙💙
keep fighting....nothing will get you down!!! much love ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎
Sending hugs. Please tell us any news.
I’m praying for you baby, everything's gonna be alright🙏🏽
love and light to you
TVD brought me here. I love this song, and I love how it spills into Elena's drowning in the finale.
My ears fell in Love 😍. The moment the voice & Beat dropped. Dam just Speechless. Thank u. You Tube for bringing this to my library. New instant fan. FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE.
This song reminds me of a very dark time in my life.
I lived by the coast at the time and was deeply depressed.
I often thought about walking into the sea and letting it take me away.
I hope you are doing alright and that you are talking to somebody about your problems. You're important, your life is important for the world
I hope you feel better. Life is worth living, you just have to push through the obstacles
same here
Sending love and light your way. 🕯️
Glad you didnt ❤
This song speaks to me of accepting the dark parts of yourself. To make peace with the darkness. To give in and stop fighting against it because it is a part of who you are as a whole.
comin' back to Flo's old songs just ignites the nostalgic memories buried deep within me. it's amazing how her songs could still evoke the exact same emotions as i had back then. cant say that i miss the past or love the present either, it simply feels reassuring to have that anchor which reminds me that time passes, and yet memories will still stay as they are, no matter how painful or blissful the memories could get sometimes.
It’s like a gift to find someone who never let you go.
9 years later, I'm watching TVD with my daughters. At the beginning I liked Stefan & Elena. Later, it was impossible not to love Delena!! Excellent song for their first kiss 💋.
sorry for offering unsolicited advice but while i do think it's wonderful that you're sharing a show that's close to you w your daughters, please educate them about the unhealthy dynamics in those relationships. you don't want them to grow up idealizing that.
I’ve been listening to this song since I was 3 (in 2012 Ik I’m young lol) but when I watched tvd I was a delena fan and I could just tell they would get together yk and I heard this song and I knew I was destined to be a Delena fan
@@lorettagrey7383 no one asked- I’m 13 and I watch it-
The same here😭I wanted Ellena to be with Stifan but when I saw the amazing chemistry between her and Damon I had to change my mind❤❤
@@addy1857 GOOD FOR YOU GIRL!! Listen to your OWN Heart!!
This is my favorite song that I've heard from Florence+The Machine.
it's my favorite too 😊
Evgenia Frantzeskaki That's cool. :) I honestly have listened to this on repeat. I've probably heard it over a hundred times already.
Not to be critical or argumentative, but how can you have just one favorite? There is such a diversity of greatness in her music. I can't even pick my favorite 10 songs of hers :)
Nathan Robertson To be honest, I don't listen to much of her music. This is the one song that I've heard that really got my attention. :) Which ones are your favorites?
listen to no light no light, breaking down, queen of peace, shake it out, delilah, seven devils, third eye and the cover of addicted to love. these are the best i think
How amazing is it that no matter how abstract or whimsical the lyrics, Florence always finds a way to relate to our individual struggles?
Automaticamente quando escuto essa música, me vêm na memória o inesquecível beijo de Damon e Elena ❤
Deep song! It’s about soul shadow work- the acceptance of self. Hugging your darkness with your lightness internally! Love this song!
I'm happy to see that the comment section is still alive. Though most of the comments is about Vampire Diaries, back on the old days when this song was released we were just amazed how they can make a song about a romance between a guy and a mop.
Probably the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard ✨
I only remember swimming under water at sunset every day in Ibiza, my home then. This song always with me, hoping to be reunited xx❤
Florence + The Machine is one of those artists who's songs will always be Iconic and gold.
This song really hits different at 4am
yes yes
I swear😭
ITS JAMIIIIIE
La primera vez que escuché la canción tenía unos 15 años, ahora con 24 recordé el sentimiento de hace tantos años. Creo que todos aquí nos sentimos identificados con ella en algún momento de la vida. El mar si que es liberador florence, y hoy siento que he avanzado bastante, me siento mejor y quiero vivir plenamente. La música es vital para el alma, y en los momentos de oscuridad mucho más. El arte es vital para el corazón y alma. Gracias por acompañarme en esos momentos de pesar, y gracias hoy por recordar que siempre se puede mejorar….
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
'Cause either way you cannot breathe
No need to pray, no need to speak
Now I am under
Oh, and it's breaking over me
A thousand miles out to the sea bed
Found the place to rest my head
(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing over me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me
Though the pressure's hard to take
It's the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
But now I am under, oh
And it's breaking over me
A thousand miles down to the sea bed
I found the place to rest my head
(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
(So cold and so sweet)
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the questions I have for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean deliver me
And it's over and I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
Oh, slipping underneath
So cold and so sweet
In the arms of the ocean, so sweet and so cold
And all this devotion, well, I never knew at all
And the questions I have for a sinner released
In the arms of the ocean deliver me
(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)
Deliver me
(Never let me go, never let me go
Never let me go, never let me go)
Never let me go, never let me go)
Deliver me
(Never let me go, never let me go)
Never let me go, never let me go)
Deliver me
Never let me go, never let me go
And it's over
I'm going under
But I'm not giving up
I'm just giving in
Ah, slipping underneath
Wooh, so cold, but so sweet
beth lowe wait, am I the only one hearing "cathedral where you cannot breath" in the second verse? :(
@@franciscamegannon100 it's cathedral
And it's "and the crashes are Heaven for a sinner like me"
Lyrics are slightly wrong here.
It's " Cathedral where you cannot breathe"
And " The crashes are heaven for a sinner like me"
Beth Lowe thanks babe, hope you doing great and if any wants to chat you can call me on- 0467833367 💜💜🌎🌏🌍✈✈👑👑
I remember listening to this song at 13.. plotting my escape from my severely abusive mother. It strikes me inside with such chills to this day. This song represents the pain I felt.. the pain so deep it felt so liberating.
Did you leave her?
I hope you’ve left her. You’re gonna be okay, we’re together in this.
I know what you're going through love ❤️stay strong 💎
I really hope you left her. This is a powerful song.
I hope you are free now.
I'm back after 12 years 😢
I am glad I am here all solely because of my good taste in music ❤.
LIRYCS

I'm here because of her 30th birthday! I'm so happy you were born Flo, our queen and goddess of this universe... hope you have a magical day :)
yes she is!!!!
Eu nunca vou superar a cena de Delena em TVD com essa música. P E R F E I T O
eu kk
no comment! Florence is amazing, the voice, the music, the videos! She is a complex artist! which leads to addiction
2201 dislikes? what is wrong with these soulless people.
Because they have no soul :p
Zane Woods damn gingers
lmao xD
Ha ha! Yes they are soulless but they represent less than 2% of the likes so that is pretty impressive don't you think?
Somebody let them go ;)
i know its 2020 but just imagine:
Nina Somerhalder

Omg that’s it my life is now complete 😵💀
I wishh😢😢
😭😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️
Jamie Campbell bower being in this makes it so much better😩
Thanks The Vampire Diaries for introducing me to this song. A thousand thanks. It's the thousandth time I've watched The Vampire Diaries and it always has the same effect on me. I LOVE THIS SERIES.
