Florence + The Machine perform Cosmic Love at the SiriusXM Studios

[@GaboObando]

She makes me happy to be alive :)

[@SoNyuShiDae9]

so let’s all just quickly recognize these stellar backup vocals given to us by the pianist in the back!!! WE SEE YOU 👏👏

[@ericburns1075]

Dude your crazy, that chick ain't sung a single note.

[@motoyominamoto3235]

Yaas, she complemented Flo perfectly 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

[@SaoirseK]

Her names Hazel Mills, she toured with the band while they were on their High As Hope run. I completely agree, shes one of the best backing vocalists Florence's ever had. She complement's Florence's voice perfectly.

[@jonathanjohnson9675]

If possible, I think she’s somehow a better singer now than when she released this song. She seems much more in control.

[@razrv3lc]

She definitely is. She said she learned how sing properly during Ceremonials. She was shouting most of Lungs and although it sounds good, it technically wasn't well done.

[@erin1876]

razrv3lcthats crazy I didnt know that; the fact that she could release an album and be famous even though it wasn't "well done" is amazing

[@elingrrr]

razrv3lc amazing, do you know which interview was that?

[@TylerPetty98]

Even when she really didn't sing the best, she was still one of the best at conveying her the desired emotion and mood of the song she sang. That's a skill she just inherently has and why people listened and continue to listen to her

[@zhenyilani4535]

She said her early sets were just her being drink and shouting and running around. She said on James Corden she took singing lessons when she was about 11 years old, but the singing teacher wanted her to do opera because she could have been a soprano, but the teacher also told her if she wanted to be a professional singer, she couldn't speak loudly, couldn't stay out late or drink or smoke or do drugs or anything, and she didn't like that because she wanted to do jazz and all sorts of stuff (and obviously drink and all that). On her IMDB Page, it says she started smoking at 14 to sabotage her voice to "show them"

[@hackguilera]

She transmits her energy and feels so deeply, it's a great inspiration!

[@jjfrank]

This song came over 9 years ago already, I can't believe.

[@Karltonx]

Made me tear up to read that. I remember everything going on in that time of my life. Time flies.

[@marlonliendo1220]

4:52 WTF was that? OMG you guys know how much training do you need to reach to hit notes like that and do dynamic stuff with these? that's pure talent and discipline. That's what I love about her, she's so impressive.

[@Nachoking19961]

And do you stalk her? How would you know what she does on her off time, she may very well do vocal training my dude.

[@Fridaytheth-eg6vk]

@@Nachoking19961 actually she said in an interview that she did vocal training only for a short time when she was young

@@Nachoking19961 oh that makes more sense lol :)

[@planeta3059]

@@Fridaytheth-eg6vk she did vocal training when she was young and then stopped because people wanted her to give up some of her liberties (to drink, do drugs, smoke, party, etc) to preserve her voice. She got proper vocal training during Ceremonials era tho and she became a better singer since then

[@francisco198137]

Literally perfection.

[@sammykolon3090]

her dancing at the end ... omg i love her

[@rimbaudification]

She was asked about her process, she chuckled and said it was a “descent into madness.” At the same time, in the video you can see she’s a perfectionist. A perfectionist descending into madness. As a poet I appreciate that.

[@ervin9880]

its cosmic love in High as Hope album version. BEAUTIFUL

[@zhenyilani4535]

Can we just take a minute to acknowledge how AMAZING Hazel Mills was on the keys AND with the backing vocals?

[@Kooodes]

I love how she completely went for the note at 1:47. Absolute perfection!

[@arielyemini4221]

It's not just about her talent (which she has tons of). Her personality just shines through her music in a way that makes her seem so genuine

[@ShanonField]

Remember hearing this acoustic version on live on kexp years and years ago and it's been one of my favs ever since

[@Karankumar-uf2mv]

Her voice sent me to the world of immortals!

[@jillianyeager9681]

I adore that no matter the era - Rob is always her constant ... any show and he's there ... She can do a gig without a piano or harp, but ROB ... it's ALWAYS him

[@lenne9442]

I am sorry, since this is 4 years old, but despite me being a fan since 2009 and obviously seeing him as well. I only realised a couple of days, at the end of the Odyssey, which I am sure you have watched as well, after she did her last "dance steps" and before getting to the stage. It is Rob, who accompanies her to the stage, with the guitar. I never properly picked up on that, despite me loving the whole How Big How Blue How Beautiful cycle, so much. I am sure as hell, Florence never had an easy life, to put it lightly. In the face of that, I am glad for her, that she still has Rob and obviously Tom as well in the band.

[@razrv3lc]

And he’s still there today. He’s just as much a part of the magic of F+tM as she is imo. He’s been a constant since the start.

[@imvgr8]

chills chills chills EVERYWHERE

[@DieDarnIt]

I always loved this song.. This was such a clean and good performance...

[@razrv3lc]

Omg. This makes me so happy. This has always been one of the best songs she has and I'm so happy to see she did it live in an acoustic setting again. Compare it to the versions from like 2009/2010 and you can really see how much better of a singer she is now. She's so much more in control of her voice.

[@acosta9407]

this is my favorite song in the entire world, it just takes me to places I never knew existed. Yes, it is THAT magical. Love this woman.

Cosmic Love Florence + the Machine Lyrics A falling star fell from your heart And landed in my eyes I screamed aloud, as it tore through them And now it's left me blind The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart And in the dark I can hear your heartbeat I tried to find the sound But then it stopped And I was in the darkness So darkness I became The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart I took the stars from my eyes And then I made a map And knew that somehow I could find my way back Then I heard your heart beating You were in the darkness too So I stayed in the darkness with you The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart The stars, the moon They have all been blown out You left me in the dark No dawn, no day I'm always in this twilight In the shadow of your heart

[@jimzalidas]

This speaks to my heart!!

[@JordanPringle]

Her vibrato... is soo flawless

[@elingrrr]

I love how her performance therefore her songs have evolved with her. It's like a different feeling note with Cosmic Love

[@winterkrash]

I love this song so much. I love the style she sang this originally. More majestic, epic, whimsical, ethereal. This is cleaner, more mature, which shows her development as a singer. But the first one was just magical. Which suits this song. You should see how she performed this at the Oxygen Festival in 2011 (or 2012, can’t recall). It was epic! She was in this green flowing dress, dancing around the stage barefoot. Couple these with heavy rains. It was like she summoned a storm. ❤️❤️❤️

8 years after the first studio take(kexp?). WOW!! I can't believe how much more powerful, in every way, this is now. I can see the memories of this song and it's meaning to her have no power like in the past. She is past it and it gives her strength and she relishes in it -- and we get to feel that emotion in her voice. WOW!!

[@benrowley9408]

Yes Tom

[@mikajeem]

She’s a goddess.

[@madson7370]

Queen

[@razrv3lc]

I wonder if she has a hard time doing songs from Lungs? She’s said in interviews that she had no training at all when she did that album (which is why the vocals are very in your face and harsh) so now I’m assuming she’s trying to sing the songs with correct technique which is why it sounds so different. Probably makes it a lot harder to sing those songs for her now.

[@AndriusReadsBooksSometimes]

Man their early songs were so beautiful lyrics wise. Don't get me wrong, they still make good music, but a few of the songs in HBHBHB and a lot of the songs in High as Hope lyrically feel kind of... plain? Talking about "ghosting" and such seems kind of facile compared to the dramatic and larger than life themes in Lungs or Ceremonials.

[@waltern4778]

Andrius disagree bc if you look at her explanations of songs like this its always just as basic she just overtold the stories bc she was drunk while writing and she liked the dramatic sound

[@AndriusReadsBooksSometimes]

Walter N That is a shame if true. Still, you wouldn't know that just from listening to those songs, and whether it was genuine or just overwriting, it still made the songs bigger and more universal.

[@kojobaidoo4667]

Andrius I understand what you mean, the newer songs don’t quite have the ethereal quality found in Lungs and Ceremonials. That said, I enjoy them just as much; despite a different sound, the depth that Florence goes into about her life and how it is portrayed is amazing to me, and I love the album even though it’s not what we’ve come to expect. It’s unconventional, but in a good way.

[@kojobaidoo4667]

Plus, I don’t know about you, but I enjoy being able to relate to Florence, but still the way she describes seemingly normal events really sets her apart. For example, a normal person listening to the lyrics of “Big God” wouldn’t assume that the song is about being ghosted.

[@conradstiles4299]

I'm sorry but are you insane? High As Hope is a lyrical masterpiece
