Florence + the Machine - Shake It Out (Lyrics)

[@bonesxbreak]

"regrets collect like old friends here to relive your darkest moments." Arguably the best opening lyrics to a song I have ever had the honor to hear.

[@kinglebronify]

It’s beautiful man!!

Florence is a goddess in voice and timber.

What's that mean

[@almazza88]

This song saved my life. I remember me being drunk at New Year's Eve and being suicidal. I was on the edge of the bridge all alone and wanting to jump. And there was noone around me. I was crying for help or someone to save me. And then- on my headphones this song started to play. And I felt all the life come back to me. And went off that bridge. I felt like a survived the darkest night of my life only because this song. After that i was stronger than never before. Thank you from all my heart.

For the past two years I've been having a hard time, still going through things. Never experienced depression but it's real, I was never into Florence in the machine and I came across this song when I was at my weakest and this song really makes me feel good. Her music honestly been very helpful to and for me. And learning to face my weak moments knowing that it gets better so this song is everything. Florence is awesome

[@tiananikkia5851]

I hope you are better today

[@girlbossgirl]

This was the song I played on the highest volume I could while driving out of rehab. Fallen back down again, but I know listening to this song is going to give me the courage to get myself up, dust myself off and start again. Pain is the journey not the destiny

[@marianalaura9456]

More than ten years has passed since I stopped having selfdestructive and suicidal tendencies. At first when I heard this song, it really got my attention, it reminded me of those dark moments. No one had faith in my recovery. But I did a hard work to become who I am now. All those dark moments from that cold past couldn't drag me down. So,If anyone else feels identify with this powerful song and has been through difficult times, know for sure, that you can save yourself and become a "work in progress" and absolutely change your life. It may no be easy at first, but you can do it, it's possible. Bad things happens just to remind you what you are made of. You can actually learn how to succed and restart your life from cero, as many times as it takes. This is my message of hope, to everyone who may need help of feel sad. I'm with you.

The scene in which this played, you know the one with the multiple umbrellas,(great scene btw), anyway when ted comes out of the the building and he goes into a crowd of yellow umbrellas, I just LOVE the symbolicness and deepness of this scene. The multitude of yellow umbrellas means that his options are now open since he has to let go of the thought of robin. So since everyone is carrying an umbrella, they all are potential future wife of ted...long story short, ted's future never seemed more bright!

[@powergirl8720]

Double Diablo way to go man! 💙 isn't it amazing how music can inspire us to move mountains?

[@tazkb]

It took a bad motorcycle accident to start a chain of events that changed my life from not so good to totally hopeless,depression,fear and feeling helpless surrounded me and suicide seemed the only way out. I had no kids then, just my mum and gran plus a sister I didn't realy know who lived over 10,000 miles away.so suicide was a real option if things got any worse, every day felt worse than the one before, I thought (far to much) I had hit rock bottom every single day, I prayed and even begged for help,music was the only thing that made me keep going until 1 day I gave up? I nearly got it right but after an hour of being stuck with 1 foot either side of life and death, but for the dedicated medical staff and a kind of "miracle " i wouldn't be here! after around a week in hospital this song came on the rest is ... well I'm still here now years later, i have 2 kid's sadly divorced now but i have a reason to fight. personaly i think we all have a reason to live no matter how small, you just have to find that reason and use it, it might well be the difference between fighting and giving up!

This song came out when I was 16. At the time, I wasn't quite seasoned in life to understand what the song REALLY meant -- making mistakes and understanding that you will never truly have a happy ending with the amount of regret you carry. Now at 21, with more life experiences under my belt, I do.

[@SabertoothedTiger69]

As soon as I heard this song it helped me understand so much. I hold on to so many things because of things that have happened to me. I feel like the growth and progress I have made is absolutely amazing, but I still have a long way to go. Everyday I grow. But looking back I was trapped in my trauma and depression. I haven’t really related all of this to my family as much as I have to my husband. I distance myself from them because I don’t think they really understand the amount of struggle I went through and the assaults that took place that pushed my life into a reclusive antisocial person. They think I just ignore them but I can’t relate to what they talk about. I don’t agree with the way they do things. It’s not that I don’t love them, but I cannot force myself to be in uncomfortable situations anymore since what happened. It’s too difficult for me. I can’t say how I feel because they take it personally and they don’t understand when I say things to try and help. Idk I just wanted to write this down somewhere to help me understand why I can’t talk to them like I used to. I also have no friends or life because I isolate myself to the point of only talking to my spouse and my mother. Sometimes I feel like I haven’t taken a breath in forever.

I am sending you a hug. Hang in there!

You described some key points that are hard to articulate. You are the only person I've come across (by words) who has described it in the same way to someone I tried trusting/confiding in. It's comforting to know that what I described is valid. It certainly is a "demon" that is on my back keeping me from expressing my affection and love for my family and in the many relationships I've failed to nurture because of that same demon. I hope things have improved for you.

@@cesarmeza3342 I certainly understand everything you say and the isolation you feel, i have done the same, i have virtually no family left to speak of but i have pushed most of my "friends" away through a lack of understanding on thier part and not even trying toaccept what i say to them.hope things get better for you.x

I was going through a terrible divorce, one that I initiated because she cheated. I left the home to her, furniture everything, we had no kids. I remember waking up in that hotel room and the blue curtains blowing with the ac fan, with morning light cutting through the edges spreading light across the wall. I was devastated, I hit my phone and this was on my YT playlist and it came on, in the random mix. Changed my life. Like a DMT, I was able to see MY faults in the relationship, no focus on hers, and that showed me what was important. Change and better who you are, not charge and bitter yourself on the account of someone else in a bad relationship. Cheers Florence, your Alternative Ceremonial genre songs changed me for the better that morning

I heard this song for the first time last night on the show "911". Didn't know the name or who performed it. So glad I found it. I love it. Thanks for posting.

This. All of it. I ended the cycle of my abuse a little over a year ago. I’m a stronger, better woman. This song helps me keep my head up.

[@IfYouCouldEatAPotato]

You deserve to hold your head up high, because you are an amazing and strong woman! Keep going, I know you've got this!

[@fullsun635]

Heard this song from How I Met Your Mother and I instantly had goosebumps when I heard the song and I knew I had to download it. I never regretted it since then.

Why is life so hard?

[@caiusionescu5533]

Life is hard, but trust me, it is also beautiful. Beauty hides in small things.

[@proovemewrong]

We are the ones who make it hard.

[@mountaindont34ify]

I think its because so many things are out of our control. Many of the things that happen in our life our mot in our control. Some feelings, even the, catastrophes, deaths, accidents, etc. We should try to take control of what a we can and not the things we cant kind of like the serenity prayer. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
