Florence and the Machine - Blinding [Live]

[@bojanavusanovic3746]

''No more dreaming like a girl, so in love with the wrong world.''

[@Rebecama94]

Oh my god!! that was Fever Ray's song "if I had a heart" at the beginning. Why the F she hadn't record an actually cover of it. It sounds awesome.

[@dacamastodonte3462]

Riiiight??? i died when I heard that part

[@BryceHalliwell]

What I love about her is that she takes us directly into her world. Her song's world, everytime she sings it. This song is a perfect example because it tells us a story. And we don't want to find us awake again at the end of the show. Her voice is AMAZING. Thank you Florence to make us feel what you feel.

[@patriciahbaruffi]

I am grateful for being alive and being able to see this. She has been saving me in so many ways...

[@Nightbrrd]

Florence is love, Florence is life. Worship the Machine.

[@leo0986]

My favourite song of hers. Maybe not her best, maybe no light, drumming song and cosmic love are better but it’s the one that hits the spot for me every time

[@MrRock55100]

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS PERFORMANCE BEFORE, IT'S JUST PERFECT IN ALL SENSE!!! I LOVE FLORENCE SHE'S MY PLATONIC LOVE :)

[@xJacquelineBx]

has always been my fave song by them :)

[@Nightmare-ee7fn]

same here

[@carloshuerta6862]

does anyone else think this song is about mind control? I know everyone has their own take on the lyrics but I can't be the only one who picks up on the hints. "Until I realize that it was you who held me under" under mind control and she didn't even know it, and when she realized this "All around the world was waking, I never could go back. Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn wide open" she came out of the mind control. I still LOVE this song, even though i feel like it has a much darker meaning.

[@siennaskye_journey]

I know this comment is 7 years old, but I wanted to reply- this song means so much to me because of a very similar take I have on it which includes brain wash, mind control, childhood trauma and abuse which all I lived through. Plus severe Dissociation and splitting and repressing memories. This song means so much to me for that reason.

[@noxylm]

So sad that they deleted my favorite version where she lets out this long huge scream after the final build up, and the violin goes crazy in the background. Used to be on the channel 'Oliver' Florence + The Machine - Blinding (live from The Rivoli Ballroom)

[@yoshi8508]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJDMZKN_nNuonK8 this one??

[@silviobastos3514]

This version is back my man. Enjoy it again

[@helene-anaisndombiene9878]

Love the fact that she sings If I Had A Heart of Fever Ray in the begining, beside the fact that I love everything she does :)

[@jaredduffee7309]

This is the first song that got me into Florence + the Machine! Her voice gives me goosebumps

[@jessica7218]

Same. It's such a shame it's no longer performed live

[@alexf02071999]

I'm usually not one to go for special effects in performances, but god damn the psychadelic ending in Florence's live performances of this song with all the flashing lights and everything is just ridiculously awesome. I hope she plays it again at some shows in the future, anyone know what the last time she played it was?

[@choshojo]

I'll never understand why people thumbs down things like this... either you like the band and you're blown away with the performance and pleased with the solid video quality or you don't like the band and don't need to be wasting your time watching this, anyhow.

[@happyninja42]

Actually no. You can like the band but still think that this performance isn't good. That IS a possible scenario you know. I personally like the studio recording better, because her vocal quality sounds better in my opinion. I still enjoy this performance, but it's not the best version of this song out there. I dunno, something about the acoustics of the place makes her voice sound off in places.

[@mwalker3868]

+happyninja42 but did you NEED to dislike it? did you need to?

[@happyninja42]

yes yes sure. I personally liked it, and clicked as such. I'm simply pointing out that it is possible to like a band, and NOT like a particular performance they do. you don't have to be 100% a fan of someone. they have off days too you know, and it's ok to say as much. If you truly think that the only state is "100% love the band or you hate them!" then you are an irrational fanatic and need to rethink your priorities.

[@mwalker3868]

happyninja42 i do believe there are times when you can like the band but not 100% love the song but i never understood why it was necessary to thumbs down for any reason. It does no one any good. Its perfectly fine to have an opinion but it never really made sense to me.

[@happyninja42]

yes yes because they have the right to express their opinion, even when it's one you don't like. I mean come on, it's just a youtube dislike click. It's not like they are boycotting the band's concerts, or picketing outside their houses with signs that say "God hates Florence" or some such bullshit. They're just saying "I didn't like this song/performance". It's not the end of the world.

[@danielbalogun2592]

this woman is an actual fairy 🧚‍♀️ , no other explanation !!!

[@rasheedatekiyoyo7163]

Her legs are so fucking flawless, just like her performance... ( ._.). It's unfortunate that not as many artists can sing this well live. It's a rare talent imo.

[@mileek451]

I just love her vocal range!!!!

[@ihatestupidpeople6283]

I have seen this so many times but it always feels so fresh and beautiful every time

[@Unchangeable97]

I heard it live this June at Orange Warsaw Festival.... Highlight of my life....

[@j.manuel7838]

I just cried. Oh my god. This is the most amazing thing Florence has ever done. OH MY GOD!!!!!!

[@mharkholio]

I'm obsessed with Florence in this, I mean I love her so much, but in this performance she is so amazing... crush 24/7

[@theawesomeone551]

Florence is so surreal. i feel like if i would be in her concerts, it would just take me to a different dimension, cutting me off from the human world temporarily. because Florence isn't a human; she's a goddess. gracing us with her heavenly music.

[@IAmPlaysWithSquirrel]

I had no idea this was taken down, it's one of my favorite FATM performances! Thanks for uploading it!

[@FedorMachida]

This was fucking awesome! Thanks Chloe, for posting this. I saw Florence in Houston, a few years ago. She is amazing. The video doesn't do her justice. You have to see her live.

[@1leggedpirate]

Thank you for re-posting one of the best live performances ever!!

[@izabellemachado5442]

This live performance is really amazing. This is a great song.

[@stunjamie]

Just amazing. What a voice. A bit of Siouxsie in her I think, for those who are old enough to remember...

[@melmankooo]

one of the best 8 minutes of my life.

[@gutssnstuff9723]

that opening was sick af

[@stellavieira701]

1:27 - 1:47 Oh Gosh

[@mrsuarez430]

[@glimmeringsnowflake7]

[@mariets402]

OMG thank you for uploading this again! It's such an amazing performance!

[@KaineFPieri]

What a breath taking experience .. It leaves you speechless ! I could feel the music and see it as clear as anything else ... The cacophony at the end is tremendous .. True art.

[@SofiaCalotti]

Oh my god, I love this. It's like witchcraft, magic. Beautiful and haunting.

[@EmTheFairy_]

Seems that I have been held, in some dreaming state A tourist in the waking world, never quite awake No kiss, no gentle word could wake me from this slumber Until I realize that it was you who held me under Felt it in my fist, in my feet, in the hollows of my eyelids Shaking through my skull, through my spine and down through my ribs No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world And I could hear the thunder and see the lightning crack And all around the world was waking, I never could go back 'Cause all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken

[@EmTheFairy_]

And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open And all my bones began to shake, my eyes flew open No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow white's stitching up the circuit boards Synapse's slipping through the hidden door Snow white's stitching up your circuit board No more dreaming of the dead as if death itself was undone No more calling like a crow for a boy, for a body in the garden No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love, so in love No more dreaming like a girl so in love with the wrong world Snow white's stitching up the circuit boards Synapse's slipping through the hidden door Snow white's stitching up your circuit board Synapse's slipping through the hidden door

[@leo0986]

I wish I could like this a million times

[@thehulk525]

Holy fuck. They always end this song with otherworldly and haunting alien music, that I had no idea humans were capable of producing.

[@4TheLoveOfWriting]

39,059 views and not a single dislike. My faith in humanity has reached a revolutionary increase.
