She's a real life angel❤

[@johnnycabrera6892]

I was in jail for a while and inside we have tablets to use for purchasing stuff to watch or call or whatever. It’s very limited content. It’s not like free access to the whole web. It’s very much selected content. But they do have a variety of NPR tiny desk concerts to watch. I am not lying when I say that I’d watch this concert everyday at least once, partially because everything else wasn’t interesting and also because I attached myself to her voice and lyrics in these three songs. She got me through those hard times. Even on days I was sooo frustrated about being incarcerated and didn’t want to even bother watching this concert and wasting my money, I did so anyways. I am forever grateful to have had Florence to keep me company as I battled the dread of losing my freedom.

One time she was so wasted that my ex had to basically escort her home. I am glad she’s sober now; she was on a downward spiral when the band is on hiatus. The high you get from live concerts is much too incomparable.

I have no doubt about Florence talent but i have to talk about her backing vocal. She is supporting florence's voice so beautifully. This is so much better than some singers that contract backing vocals only to make up their own lack of talent. 👌🏼

[@iTeacupPanda]

@@erickmaynard3507 What are you even talking about? Nothing was wrong with that beginning? Patricia felt a tad dull compared to other versions of the song she has done. That's the only thing a tad off, but that was just a less interesting rendition rather than a technical issue. Worse than average? Find me someone who's vocal talent rounds out to her level of extreme breath control, note sustaining, vocal agility, vocal fluidity and ability to weave it the way she can? She can crescendo insanely quick and flip from chest voice to falsetto in the same phrase seamlessly despite the two not being exacty connected in their traits. You can find people who have better pitch, sure. But, where you're getting 4 and 5 star with her in those areas you'll be getting 2's all day long. And that is in bands most people would deem still " Above average "

[@angelangelvr]

the second song, “Patricia,” looks SO hard to play live in terms of tempo. the nervousness on the musicians' faces haha. worth it!! BEAUTIFUL performance. thank you, Earth Witch Florence Welch &co.

[@CrazyGuy498]

Angel Ramirez what about the tempo would make it hard to perform?

[@angelangelvr]

it would be ~very~ easy for the song to fall apart since it kind of hinges on the repetition and consistency of the musicians' parts. I'm sure someone who has been a musician longer than I have could give you a much better and more technical definition than I can! I played clarinet from 5th-9th grade. I am in 12th grade now and miss the classical music world very much :( I'm hoping to get a clarinet of my own soon (I would rent a school instrument before). anyway, I know you didn't ask for all that haha, but it gives my comment context. I hope I answered your question adequately (:

[@angelangelvr]

also, the tempo is very irregular with other musicians coming in and out at strange times and the song taking unexpected turns. I wonder what the time signature might be. it also might be syncopated, but I'm not too sure about that. this song really just plays with tempo--very interesting from a musical standpoint! the accelerando at the end was pretty cool lol

[@Jack.Strait]

And that cutoff at the end was PERFECT

[@siralabastermccaster]

One of the big difficulties with a. Don't like that would be the increasing pace at the end. It hinges so much on the the musicians keeping consistent I. Their increase and if you note they're taking cues from Florence's clapping. She's conducting the band by providing them the metronome with which to keep which is why you see that "nerves" it's actually intense concentration to make ensure they're keeping pace with the best she's giving them while filtering out other members music. Simtsiniously making sure theyre blending their sound with the others. It takes remarkable skill AND remarkable trust in Florence not to push them too far or raise too wuick which can happen in a live performance as you get lost into the adrenaline of a live performance. The closest to worry you see if from the harp but even then it's tinged with trust. It's truly s remarkable performance start to finish

[@Princez1289]

Her live performances of "Patricia" far outshine the recorded version, especially the ending "it's such a wonderful thing to love". The recorded version just fades out after only 5 repeats (and you can't hear any harp) whereas the live version has that powerful punch of the line getting sung and played faster and it just hits you in your soul!

[@nillawafer1261]

Her back up singer is unreal!!! I always loved Florence but this set just made me realise how much her backup singer was influencing the various songs she released :D Great job NPR as always

[@iTeacupPanda]

I mean, I don't think the backup singer influenced the writing or sounds of the songs themselves LOL Florence usually just beats on walls and belts til she forms something and adds in her own vocal layers. She can't sing lead and do background though unless she uses a backing track, if she did it wouldn't be acoustic and she prefers having background vocals when she can. Some stages are just too small and confining to allow it though.

[@WelfareChrist]

Amen! Their voices together each time made my skin crawl in celebration.

[@JesseColton]

Hazel isn't a part of the band ordinarily, Isabel has traditionally been on keys and helped with composing, though she didn't do any work on this past album

Influenced? LOL no. Usually she has a gospel singer as background because they can keep up with her powerful voice and notes

[@lindalombardi7267]

Florence is so delicate and yet so strong. I also feel she really is extreme, especially in the way she handles her own talent She knows how to dose it and give it back to her people and she definitely gives her best in "extreme" ambiences: either extreme cozy little rooms or in the biggest festival ever. That's where her magic happens and it's not only about the atmosphere, is about the gravity she's got. I dunno if it makes sense but it did in my head after being enchanted by this.

[@DerekSmyth]

Michael Hartmann what I heard on commercial radio was so “big”, complexed and processed that the raw talent and passion gets lost amongst the mixing and production. Then you have a performance like this and while it’s only a little more minimal the talent of the artists come to the front. Back in the Led Zeplins day, album production was a lot closer to a live performance than what is done today and why I love their albums more that overly produced rock of today.

@@GoldBlackLotus okay thanks!

[@lukesuperflyjones]

Yeah he's super good, BUT also is the amazing acoustics! WOOD, BOOKS, and TRINKETS!

Florence Welch is one of my favorite lyricist EVER. Her lyrics either make me feel insane but in the best way possible.

[@dora6090]

If you ever have the choice to see her perform live, do it. For me, it was EC 2019, when Florence told us all to jump our fears away. Just seeing 200 k people do it at the same time has been the most amazing experience at a concert ever. She has such an amazing force that pulls you out of whatever state you are in and I am craving that godly energy she shares. My only life resolution at the moment is to see her again, live.

[@ilahmache]

You can tell the music is radiating in her brain as she's singing. She's hearing something we can't. I love her

[@raulaguirre883]

I saw her in Atlanta, a year n a half ago and I am still haunted by those memories. I am convinced she is the most beautiful being alive regardless of gender. There was just something undescribable that kept me clinging on to hope I never knew I had, for all of us who had come together and showed love for each other.

[@Chronomatrix]

Florence and Hazel make an amazing duo.

[@kroppinator]

One of the best ever on Tiny Desk. That mix is just exquisite! Especially that harp!

[@its_a_thing9330]

She is absolutely AMAZING live! Like a hyperactive wood nymph that never stops dancing and hits every single insane note!

[@roody6775]

Hands down one of the best female vocals. And she does it so darn effortlessly!

[@emilybrown8360]

I'll never understand how someone could dislike such a beautiful performance

[@AlexLopez-hn5ru]

Listening to these things for the first time always make me treasure life a little more. I mean, to experience a sliver of beauty in this vast, vast world...what a gift!

[@Abhothra]

I'm not sure what's more impressive, Florence vocal abilities or the fact that to this very day she's still humble even though she's one of the best contemporary singers out there. We've all seen one-hit-wonders that don't even come near her as a singer go full diva but she doesn't, Love you for it Florence.

[@patriciaalexandra96]

I love them...and knowing that i have song with my name...😍🔝👏👏👏

[@bastetowl3258]

her voice is so haunting and hypnotizing when she sings so i was not expecting her to sound like that when she talks lol

[@evelynfernandes9171]

She's amazing, the best singer of the last decade! I'm from Brazil and I love her voice, the style she follows in terms of music and of course life, a sweet melodic witch who heals with her voice and the melodies she plays

[@evelynfernandes9171]

Ac

[@michellevalle4864]

Ela é mt querida ❤️

[@MylesMarrero]

This was exactly the way my Monday needed to start.

[@Goracykabanos]

8:28 wow she really put the harpist on the spot there, i would’ve fainted from the pressure of having to play faster and faster

[@LobsterTrainer]

I felt my heart racing watching that guy go

[@partypiano0729]

He did good, great, fantastic.

[@mthood6015]

They've played together from the beginning...years ago! So I'm positive she's not putting him on the spot.

[@Kooodes]

I love it so much hahah but the harp in patricia has nothing on cosmic love

[@maocharlisme]

He's great! 😁

[@julec7337]

Why doesn‘t she have a grammy yet!? I dont get it. Brilliant Talent❤️

[@hannahputna7213]

I saw them in concert in 2018, and it was an ethereal experience. All the people around me were in tears, and so was I because of how beautiful it is. June will always be my favorite song now because of the way it sounded live

[@DaVid-vp7cl]

The backing-vocals are perfection!!!!!!!!

[@yegwanihst1971]

My first introduction to this amazing band!.... Thank you thank you thank-you...they are therapy of Tiny desk concerts.. "it's such a wonderful thing to love "

[@kalineb.barboza1171]

I really love shy artists. They are entire on the stage.

[@mikajeem]

How the pianist is in such perfect sync with Florence ... YES

[@liammulligan5204]

June is the most underrated song of the album. Its phenomenal

[@skeletonpony3852]

tbh I didn't much attention to it until I listened it live in her Athens Acropolis Concert in 2019...I can say up to this day it was the most magical musical moment of the whole concert and of all my life maybe! To see that she still played it among her hits again some days in her recent Athens concert was the most delightful surprise!

[@ryan_machine]

her little laugh at 8:50 after performing one of the most beautiful and majestic versions of Patricia i've ever heard is SO CUTE kill me

[@vuyolwethu_m26]

I wanted Big God so bad but Ship To Wreck made up for it.

[@evelynn3756]

Vuyolwethu Mtyapa i feel this so much sis

[@iTeacupPanda]

I wanted any song but Ship To Wreck basically. She already has acoustic renditions of it with good sound and filming. Would've loved to have seen songs that don't get played every show a chance to shine. ;c

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

I wanted Delilah....They should have her back.....often ha

[@papipersephone8569]

Vuyolwethu Mtyapa Which witch would be cool!

[@zsl1717]

STW is so overplayed... I wish she just cut it off the setlist and sang something more unique and beautiful that she rarely does.

[@TheOfficeIsBananas]

She is pure magic.

[@sofiaboswachter]

this npr desk has a special place in my heart
