RARE "Blinding" (Acoustic Little Noise Sessions) - Florence and the Machine

This song is an acoustic version of "Blinding" by Florence and the Machine. It was recorded at the Little Noise Sessions.
I love this song (easily my favourite on 'Lungs') and was ecstatic when I found such a brilliant acoustic version of it. Acoustic instruments combined with Florence's voice never fails to be beautiful...

I am now officially convinced that she is a goddess and the city Florence in Italy was named after her.

[@jabreabennett8597]

I been listening to her since 'between two lungs' and i'm STILL enchanted. I think I just might Die if she and Lana Del Rey ever got together. It'd be too much. Honestly, i truly believe they are immortal. Their voices together would create an infinite black hole, in which i would gladly be sucked into.

[@iamthesexygiraffe]

Everybody is obsessed with Ed Sheeran and I'm just like "Nope. The best ginger is Florence Welch."

[@Mia-qs9eu]

and for that youarethesexygiraffe lol :D

[@floridaman7786]

She's a much better soul stealer.

[@zainabmaria6473]

💮Even though she's not a real ginger

[@jessicawyatt1412]

Fuck yesssss❤️❤️❤️🤙

[@snowtheacatt]

Yep

[@GleBanana]

Simply amazing. Haunting voice with deep,honest lyrics and energy.

[@alecsia96]

she talks a lot about death and darkness in her songs. she's the mother of a new genre, gothic-pop hahahaha. her lyrics are kinda... macabre and totally epic. and her music is soft, heavenly skary. she's much more gothic than some goth-metal musicians, she's pure art!

[@belzebub6663]

it's clearly indie pop i think

[@laura-yo5ln]

I like the words you use to describe it

[@isaacdemaris5932]

my boy builds coffins classic goth

[@joaotwt2388]

@@belzebub6663 its indie rock, obviously. not many of her songs are pop

[@ohwhatworld5851]

How stunningly beautiful does she look in that image.

[@shortygotherown]

No more dreaming like A girl so in love, so in love, so in love with the wrong world. And all my bones began to shake my eyes flew open...... This song helped me out of my very deep deppression. Thanks Florence & the machine for waking me up, snapping out of my death trance.

[@Sum1OverTheRainbow]

Ms. Welch should really do an acoustic album. I love the stripped down version of her works (music videos included), but I love the album versions too

[@nadzianatalinska4943]

blindingly beautiful.

[@FedorMachida]

This was incredible. Better than the album version. Thanks for posting, rareflorence.

[@zsl1717]

her acoustic versions are always better

[@flombiefamily923]

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 realise 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 All around the world was waking, I never could go back Cos all the walls of dreaming, they were torn right open And finally it seemed that the spell was broken 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 circuitboards Someone's slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard 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 circuitboards Someone's slipping through the hidden door Snow White's stitching up the circuitboard Someone's slipping through the hidden door

[@erykpiotr4605]

It's not "SOMEONE'S slipping through the hidden door". It's "SYNAPSE slipping through the hidden door" ;)

[@AsiaAsiaJa]

Reminds me of her singing this song at Orange Warsaw Festival, I was nearly crying

[@RooseveltCoopling]

[@MurdererOfCalm]

Dear Lord, I love this. I wish Florence had more love for this song - she rarely performs it outside of concerts.

[@Violetflyb]

This has been my bed time story for the past week. Good night 💤😴

FIRST COMMENT OF THE DECADE

[@emdase]

This is absolutely incredible. This is my all-time favorite song of hers.

[@goneaerial]

Listening feels like being in the Kingdom Hearts opening sequence. Falling into woven sound, with her voice echoing across the sky and sea.

[@csjbackups]

Funny how already amazing lyrics,and songs can suddenly be so much stronger and powerful when you're going through lifes heartbreaks and surprises.. Amazing song.

[@csmoney60]

Great song! I wish Florence and the Machine would do an all acoustic album.

[@dawnhiles3]

the honesty and emotion in the lyrics are enough to give you goosebumps without even hearing that spine-tickling voice! inspiring and beautiful as always.

[@evelyndolan2331]
