Florence + The Machine - St Jude (Lyrics)
Another conversation with no destination
Another battle never won
And each side is a loser
So who cares who fired the gun?
And I'm learning, so I'm leaving
And even though I'm grieving
I'm trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it
St. Jude, the patron saint of the lost causes
St. Jude, we were lost before she started
St. Jude, we lay in bed as she whipped around us
St. Jude, maybe I've always been more comfortable in chaos
And I was on the island and you were there too
But somehow through the storm I couldn't get to you
St. Jude, somehow she knew
And she came to give her blessing while causing devastation
And I couldn't keep my mouth shut, I just had to mention
Grabbing your attention
St. Jude, the patron saint of the lost causes
St. Jude, we were lost before she started
St. Jude, we lay in bed as she whipped around us
St. Jude, maybe I've always been more comfortable in chaos
St. Jude, St. Jude
St. Jude, St. Jude
And I'm learning, so I'm leaving
And even though I'm grieving
I'm trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it
And I'm learning, so I'm leaving
And even though I'm grieving
I'm trying to find the meaning
Letting loss reveal it
Letting loss reveal it

This song makes me feel so strange... Sometimes it brings peace, sometimes it makes me want to weep. It's so hard to explain.

[@enderwiggins8248]

ravenstag It does that for me, but I think because it reminds me of a person I liked, and when I remember, I'm either brought back to that tranquil feeling of acceptance or a gut-wrenching sorrow

True for me as well. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but embracing it has helped. Chaotic people may not be the best at planning ahead, but at least we are used to improvising and can roll with the punches when life throws surprises at us.

[@lisaslay-z8342]

Ye but Florence grew an realize that it was no longer chaos she wanted. She wants peace now, it's even in article interview. She grew up and came to understand.

[@Tqolad1]

Literally only just realised that this song is about the massive storm st Jude in 2013. Explains the lyrics ' she came to give her blessing whilst causing devastation' and 'we lay in bed whilst she whipped around us'. Also the video seems to be in the aftermath of a disaster ( why Florence is soaking wet), maybe it's because the storm is like the storm that's going on inside her and in her relationships, and that's why she's the only one that's wet. I don't know, I'm having late night deep thoughts haha everyone probably already figured this out months ago.

[@samiabdul-baqi2744]

And if you watch the full Odeyssey, there's a scene before this song comes up where she's in a bedroom, and on tv there are news about a storm :3

[@lindsaythirteen4990]

she and her boyfriend were libertine opposite sides of the island that was struck by Hurricane Jude.

[@nadiaa1771]

Thanks soooo much for explaining! Was wandering about the meaning of the title.

[@lisasez]

I understand.. it was confusing to me since St. Jude is a man, one of the twelve apostles .. When I first heard it I thought " surely she knows that" then the story was revealed..

[@leonardobessauer3713]

WOW

[@RyanStorey1231]

I've never heard Florence sound so reserved in terms of her vocal performance. The minimal production really complements this. Usually, as we all know, Florence can belt and her songs are grandiose to coincide with her elegant bravado, but here is a nice change. It shows how vulnerable and emotional you can make a song just by holding it back a little; without going all out. I like this, needless to say.

[@1NEVBEAR1]

Really nice way of looking at it!

[@whatisagarrett]

I kept expecting her to go all out at the end but it never came. So I had to re-adjust my expectations a bit but I really like it too. It's a nice change of pace from WKOM.

[@RyanStorey1231]

***** I don't know why, but from looking at merely the video, I wasn't expecting her to eventually go all out.

[@whatisagarrett]

***** the video is very tranquil for sure. There's a moment at the end where her voice crescendos and I thought she was about to belt but she didn't. I loved the soft hums towards the end too.

[@marssilver]

well said sir

[@moraisplinio1]

In brazilian portuguese you dont say "St Jude" you say "Seu João da mercearia". And I think thats beautiful

[@rougepenguin4190]

[@NekkuNeko]

***** There's a big storm... that's all around us and we're in the middle of it. So it's calm but I can feel it, like it's everywhere (?)

[@moraisplinio1]

This is a brazilian joke. St Jude doesn't means Seu João. It's funny here :)

We are in the presence of one of THE MOST talented singers and her band. Florence is meant to be remembered as one of the most influential singers and musicians as well in the history of music.

[@diggleszzz]

[@keithbate9405]

Matthrick O Stevie is a huge influence on Florence. She loves Fleetwood mac (Stevie era. Wonder if she is aware of the awesome Peter Green era ? )

[@Cornelia66666]

Matthrick O Well said! Stevie Nicks is a Goddes of both music and lyrics and she's a trully artistic natural performer! Personally I don't find Florence to be anywhere near Stevie's talent. It's just my oppinion. She does have some strong lyrics though, but it seems to me that she's pushing herself way too hard in her desire to express the things she has in mind and thus her art becomes forced and a little more unnatural.

[@moneyb9044]

I never understood people who want their favorite artists to stay the same. You want eclectic earthy fairy goddess, go listen to Lungs again. You want huge grand vocals and orchestration, go listen to Ceremonials again. She's changed. She's evolved. Those other albums will always be there if you want those sounds. Let her create a new sound for people who want something else. You certainly don't have to like the new sounds, but don't complain about someone wanting to change and evolve rather than stay the same.

[@carlosfajardo1130]

I like your descriptions. Just out of curiosity: how would you describe this album and High as Hope? I hope you respond. :)

Well said! I loved the previous albums and I love the last two as well. Each of them is one of a kind, each one is part of Florence personal growth as a woman and as an artist, part of her path, who are we to judge? I would not want my favourite artists to always stay the same because it's simply impossible. None of us is the same as 10 years ago and won't be the same in 10 years. Just let Florence be Florence

[@boogiebrett]

Lol I'd be better with it if not for the stories of her wanting to do an album about witches, and then being pressured not to by her producer

This song is criminally underrated. What a voice and lyrics! Cannot wait what she's boiling up for her next album

[@maryboo527]

When she starts humming it's like she takes all the emotions , the good and the bad, and make them beautiful. I want to cry everytime

[@edwardvictor2117]

Its soo true

[@dianne8376]

The part when the guy asks her if she's lost is SO powerful. It's like when you're drifting and hoping for someone to save you but when someone finally does come along and reaches out their hand to you..you don't take it.. hmm Also the part before that with the guy... It's like when you have someone that cares about you and wants to help but you feel too weak to interact...you feel too overwhelmed to talk...to handle a relationship and it hurts them and you. She collapses at the end...that could represent when you feel so overwhelmed and exhausted to the point that you collapse. ...This whole music video is a masterpiece 🌟

[@joshuahoward6845]

the part where she is kneeling at the entrance to the church is really powerful...like she doesn't feel worthy enough to kneel inside the church.

[@NJHater]

Yes. And in the beginning it's raining inside the room. She steps out and it's clear, kids playing.. It's like there is a storm within her.

[@lucasviana7075]

Actually, you could see people coming out of the church carrying a heavy burden. My guess is Florence wants a connecetion with God but without that burden that is delivered for those who enter and recieved the judgement of the religion .

I can't say I wasn't expecting a loud and grand chorus, but I like this much better each time I listen to it. I don't think there's been a soft and quiet Florence song where she doesn't belt out and crescendo at the end of it so this is actually very refreshing. Her vocals are stunning in this and the instrumentation complements them perfectly. I am so so so excited for this album.

I’d listen to this song on repeat and sing the lyrics to myself. “I’m learning so I’m leaving, and even though I’m grieving, I’m trying to find the meaning, let loss reveal it” became my mantra, and gave me so much hope during that rough period. Thanks for sharing your art with us, and I hope you know that it has and will continue to move me in ways that words fail to describe.

Anyone analyzing the symbolism in here? I'm having a hard time making a whole interpretation of it.. But I think the men carrying rocks refer to Sisyphus, the king who was condemned to carry a boulder up a hill only to watch it roll back down again and repeat this forever, symbolizing her relationship going nowhere. 'Another conversation with no destination. Another battle never won.'

[@SketchyDrew123]

Mack Meels it also represents the grief of watching all the hard work you tried to contribute to a relationship and the need to move on, therefore the old man asking "why are you travelling alone?" Because, she had to. She had to move on because there was just destruction all over her and she had to get out.

[@LJak07]

Mack Meels I think it's a continuation from What Kind of Man, if you listen to them one after another it makes sense.

[@lucascarneiro1116]

Ok, i don't know if it makes sense but this is what i see: this is after what happened in "What Kind of Man". She's hurt. She's lost. She had been in this bad relationship for so long that she kind of lost herself. And even tho it was an abusive relationship, she's still scared to do something ("oh, St. Jude, somehow she knew, and she came to give her blessing, while causing devastation") but she has nothing else to lose so she just keep on going ("each side is a loser, so who cares who fire the gun?"), knowing anything will be better than the poison her last lover used to put on her. And the whole process is devastating ("and even thought I’m grieving i’m trying to find the meaning") but it's necessary for her to grow and be happy.

[@PalmurcioWorld]

She sounds so fraguile and emotional, so vulnerable in this song. I love it, I love to see this part of her. I love her new songs, her new album. Single by single it feels like falling in love with her again, discovering her again. I feel the same way that I was 14 and I didn't know about her, and suddenly I discovered I got the love searching random videos in KZbin. The same way, the same feeling like "Oh my God...who is this girl? She's so unique...she's fascinating". With each new album I feel that way again, like if I was discovering a treasure (wich I'm actually doing).

In each video off of the new album, Florence reaches out to touch the lips of another--herself in "How Big How Blue How Wonderful" and her partner in "St. Jude" and "What Kind of Man"--and then brings that touch to her own lips. It such a simple gesture however it invokes so much passion and pain, I would love to know what it symbolizes for her. What does everyone else think this might mean, in that it is repeated throughout the works? Amazing works of art, I love music that inspires so much! Thank you Florence.

[@ivana1870]

My relationship with Florence is currently in that thriving part where everything the person says, does, sings or plays transports you to heaven immediately and the symphonies of seraphs are simply an echo of the lover's voice so I can't judge any of her work objectively due to the fact that i scream a bit and get overwhelmed the second I notice there's a new songs AND the video before i even listen.. wow.. wouldn't trade spots with a sane and reserved pair of ears in a million years

Everytime I hear this song, I feel like my heart stops. It's a feeling I can't describe. Her voice sounds so magical. And the lyrics are so simple, yet they communicate a lot. Florence and The Machine is definetely one of my favorite bands. She is one of those few artists that still make nice, meaningful music. And that's something that we have to appreaciate, cause this is an uncommon thing nowadays.

[@otavioaugusto769]

I listen to the childrens laugh and the unintelligible voices in the music when a hear this music on stream. They're stuck in my head and this puts me in a state almost ethereal but completely earthly. I think the music speaks to me this way. There's something In the back of my mind remembering the voices in my daily life and how important they are, and how difficult is to remember it almost like a dream. Thank you Florence. The music video and the music on its own is a masterpiece. Speaks to something deeply buried wanting to emerging towards sunlight when it's almost dark. Like hope.

WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS COMPARING FLORENCE AND LANA? BOTH OF THEM ARE QUEENS. IT'S OKAY THAT SOME OF LANA'S FANS DON'T LIKE FLO AND SOME OF FLO'S FANS DON'T LIKE LANA, BUT STFU. I LOVE THEM BOTH.

+Ansey H *high five*

+Ansey H Love them both too. It's so simple wtf??

[@davicarvalho1945]

I love both of them so much, but i always get spanked by my friends that are Lana's fans when i say that i think that both of them are in the same level 😴

[@Maxianaconda]

YES, ugh.

[@abruzz0]

Florence is one of the most brilliant and talented people I've ever heard

[@EntrancedG]

This song has REALLY grown on me! I initially didn't care too much for it, but since I got the album, I continually have this song on repeat

[@hughoak]

Tô fascinado por essa música. Florence é sublime.

[@hillarytaylor4081]

não é só você, estou também😍

[@gudicktama]

i’ve been looping this song since it’s is the embodiment of jude st. francis from a little life

[@gorbsnorb]

I've been a fan since her batwoman days in 2007, and I can only congratulate her on how she has matured as an artist and person! Love you Flo, thank you for 8 years of tearful music!

[@gorbsnorb]

Oh and thank you miss Isa Machine for your talent as well! You must not go unnamed!

[@mollywhoppish]

I don't know what to say other than thank you for working so hard to get this out to the public. I'm sure it's not easy. Thanks for giving hope and thank you for sharing your talent with the world 💜 your music is very important to me.

[@ali-le9sf]

when you've read a little life, this song hits even harder. jude st. francis forever

[@MelanieFromCanada]

This song sounds like that one moment when things change to become a gentle healing of ones soul, when you know yourself and you know everything will be alright at the end of a dark journey.

[@LoveIsAPuzzle]

"Maybe, i've always been comfortable in chaos"

[@tylerkupcho18]

There's always fans who are gonna be disappointed, but I truly don't see how they could be with a song like this.

[@LalitaBanana]

This song, this album changed my life. For the better. Gave me strength and courage when I couldn't find it anywhere else. Forever grateful for Florence

[@michellelarimore7638]

Pure brilliance. From the hauntingly calm essence of her voice to the video full of symbolism. St Jude,the European storm, served as the patron saint of hope and lost causes, because through destroying the relationship which was a lost cause, the storm was able to deliver her hope and peace to move onto a better place. "She came to give her blessing while causing devastation," shows that the storm that broke the relationship was truly the blessing in disguise that solved the impossible cause. Truly beautiful.

[@OswaldoLopezTauriz]

I really admire her voice and creativity. She has one of the most incredible voices ever. And of course, this video is so interesting and so creative. Florence, is a real artist and also brilliant.

[@dengo314]

I have no words to describe how big, how blue, how beautiful this song is! Incredible! What kind of man was a blast, a clot of pure emotions. But here we can see Flo standing at the dark side, saying goodbye to her real love and maybe to her life. I don't know... Need to see it again, and again, and again... This is art. Spectacular, intimate and clever.

[@leviacronym6770]

I love how every song she sings is so different, yet so uniquely Florence.

[@_brittanamusicgleek_9316]

I can't put into words how much Florence and her music means to me. She can create pure art and I think she's one of the most brilliant people in the world.

[@CharaCoutureDrag]

I love HBHBHB so far because it's so natural and reserved compared to what we had from Lungs and Ceremonials, and honestly anything else she's done. It's really relaxing, and part of me wants to think that that's the whole purpose of the album. Calming, soothing, ethereal, and leading us to another realm incredibly different than what we see and hear every day.

[@diananotes]

Late night thoughts: Every time I hear this song it literally gives me chills. My interpretation of the song whether it’s romantically or not just a relationship where once was love, or maybe even the idea of love, ended. Not because love isn’t there or went away it’s just personal battles the individuals are going through so they must separate. Lose each other to find who they are as individuals. Seeing it from a personal belief: Although it hurts just letting loss reveal what’s meant to be learned or just meant to be. Have a great day lovelies! 💕

[@actf9480]

Just found out this masterpiece. Can't explain the peace and hope it gives me. I miss some home I haven't been to yet. Thank you, Florence, for existing! ✨

[@jesusalejandrocouohpetul8376]

I'm from Yucatan and I love this!!!

[@GrantsInYourPants]

Unbelievably magical.

[@disheartattack]

It's very emotional. I like when I can connect my feelings with song. Florence is queen. It's simple, but really adorable and special.

[@hoemogenic]

this has to be my favorite video of the era, the fact that it's one take, the color grading, the emotion, and the fact that it was shot in my country 😭😭😭😭 i will NEVER get over it

[@michellesibanda6694]

My goodness. Her music evolves and she still sounds like heaven. From Ceremonial's crashing crescendos she's transitioned to these reserved sweet serenades and yet she still captures you and wraps you up in her words... Florence Welch, take a bow!!!!

[@emgatsby6771]

WHY DIDNT SHE GET HER GRAMMYS!!!!!!!!!

[@Austriker101]

+emgatsby she deserves all of them, give her an oscar too lol

[@TheatreofSymphony]

+Austriker AU an Oscar for her performance in Long and Lost. Miraculous!

[@yuyedeng3994]

+TheatreofSymphony I cry every time she begins hugging folks

[@MaggieMemoire]

Grammys are fixed to cater to pop music and not talents

[@mimimaria3]

yeah this album was a masterpiece

[@william1ter2burgh]

Very minimalist and interesting! I always find her lyrics deep, compositions complex and emotional. We need more music like this...

[@obedcolli1020]

I’ve always felt touch by this song, and I hadn’t watch the video until now. I felt completely connected to it when I see that was recorded in Yucatan, Mex. Florence’s songs are art.

[@Ashtree28]

Ceremonials will always be my favourite album of all time, but I am ridiculously excited to hear what else Florence has for us. She's just incredible. ❤️

[@hoshiandreeramirezhernande9682]

I think Florence really was imspired by Mexican culture, as can be seen in the WKOM and HBHBHB videos and now in this song (St. Jude - San Judas is one of the most venerated saints in Mexico). And it's so good to think that the magical landscapes of my country have inspired such a wonderful and magical woman.

[@diggleszzz]

The heart beat from cosmic love is in this song too :D

[@Willow-qg7qd]

Today my beloved cat was euthanized due to health problems. He lived for 11 years and passed away peacefully on may the 3rd, 2017. He was the gentlest cat who was loved by everyone who met him. He loved and accepted everyone who petted him. This song brings me tears and calmness, in a way it assures me that everything will be alright.

[@Isawyaka]

Many people told me about this to be the reference to test their new headphones. Well, because of this I heard this song on my Beyerdynamic DT 1700 Pro. I ... don't have words for what I experienced, the first time I listened to this song. This is not just a professional, but a personal masterpiece. The topline, which is effectively the bassline, what is made to experience a kind of heartbeat, that gets more or less intense during the song and this extremely personally feeling voice and story, that the listener witnesses just made my year 2021. This is one of the few times I had tears in my eyes, while listening to music. Florence, whatever you did to mee, keep doing it!
