There’s clearly a story behind this video and it should be shared. It’s not just them singing a song. This is Karinya Chen. A 15 year old girl who had battled terminal bone cancer for 5 years. She was at “Hospice Austin” and had tickets to go see a Florence and the Machine concert. She couldn’t due to health concerns. But the hospice reached out to Florence and was able to explain the situation and Florence came to sing just to her. With that being said this day was clearly something very special and since unfortunately Kenya has passed away. These acts of kindness are what makes this world so nice to be in and makes us realize how precious not only life is but how important something as simple as music can be to us in times of need.
Thanks a lot for sharing and giving some context and making clear this is not jut some PR shit this is by any means tho one of a few REAL unique acoustic performances without sony or sum one filtering it and selling it as *acoustic* damn this shit got me in tears even tho i was over that song a long time ago thx .
Thanks for sharing, man these things make me so sad gone far too early with so much great things ahead of her. Rest easy no more pain and suffering hopefully we can find a cure one day so we can save lives.
My thoughts exactly. I don't know how these wonderful people keep it together. I'm sitting here in the comfort of my house, far removed from this poor girl's pain and situation, and I still can't keep it together. Nevermind singing a song like that for her and holding her hand. I have such tremendous respect for what these folks did for her.
I can't even hear this song on the radio without losing it because of this video... This video is shared often on Reddit and I'm not alone, thousands of comments...
I've heard her say that too. I think like some other music artists (namely Freddie Mercury) the artist has a completely different persona on stage. On stage Florence is so commanding and bold but singing for just a few people she gets so nervous. I love her so. 💕
Yeah cuz shes the one we should care/talk about from this video. Not the girl reduced to skin and bones, confined to a hospital bed, with her life taken away from her.
@@jasajasason9640 it's a nice moment for the girl who is going through the roughest time anyone could go through. It's a good thing that Florence stepped out of her comfort zone to do something nice. Simmer down.
I was a rescue worker during 9/11 and I'm battling stage 4 GI inoperable Cancer. People don't realize what little or big acts of kindness do to someone's recovery. It just warms my heart knowing that people still do things for humanity, to make others feel warm and good in their hearts..God bless you Florence, and Lord, give me the strength to continue for humanity for I know there are a couple things left I can do before I go..😊
I just want to say that I’m so sorry you’re battling stage 4 cancer…. So much respect of being a rescue worker during 9/11… so selfless and I hope that your days are filled with joy because you deserve it❤
I have been a Pink Floyd fan for over 40yrs,I saw them live twice in 1994..I got an age where I thought I want to do something radical,so I changed my name by deed poll about 10yrs ago. David Gilmour
@@davidgilmour5555 That's really cool! Big fan of Floyd too. Never thought about changing my name, might do that too at some point to start anew. If you don't mind me asking, did you only change your surname or both? As a Doors fan i would quit like to change my name to Jim Morrison.
I feel like the song takes a different meaning “the dog days are over” meaning this young woman didn’t have to continue to endure the pain and suffering of this world. She sang her straight up to heaven.
These were my thoughts exactly too! I can picture this song playing for her as she enters Heaven, not having to feel any pain or worry about anything anymore.
This song was recently in a movie, Guardians of the Galaxy, and when the song played I instantly thought of Yaya. She was so brave and beautiful, this song will live on in her memory forever. Thank you Yaya for creating this moment that we were all able to share, I hope you are resting well🤍🕊️
It gave me chills when Kenya starting singing and made me realize that even at ur worst moments in life and knowing that ur life is about to be over here,that u can still smile and have just a lil bit more laughter in ur life if only just for a min...R.I.P SWEETHEART
How can anyone watch this and not have tears streaming down their face ? No matter what a person is going through , music heals the soul , brings people together and comforts your heart !
My husband played this every morning and I hated it, but he passed away four days after we married. Now this song and this video mean more to me than you'll ever know. Especially now, as we met on Christmas.
I'm sorry for your loss, Tyrone. I hope you've healed a bit and I hope you can love another again. You're worthy of more love, kindness, compassion, and you're worthy of being held in someone's arms again. "When does a man die? When he is hit by a bullet? No! When he suffers a disease? No! When he ate a soup made out of a poisonous mushroom? No! A man dies when he is forgotten!"
Obviously a lot of awesome stuff in this video. But one small observation, Florence mentioned "they don't really do this acoustically" and right on the spot, not only did they figure it out between the two of them, but they absolutely killed. It was like they've done it this way a million times. What talent.
@@Nursegirlalexandra Sorry I wasn't clear- I meant she put herself in a bad singing position just so she could hold the girl's hand, which was a lovely touch.
the emotion in her voice, I can see she comforting her touching her hand at moments and giving her all love and good vibes on her way too. I love this.
Don't care about your sexist comments. I said what I said and I meant what I said. Are you jealous you don't look like that or? Coz all I did was appreciate his good looks. Don't have time for this bull
I was lucky enough to work security at a one of her recent concerts. Florence has a wonderful gift. Her fans adore her for good reason. I watched her memorize them for two hours. This women was touched by an angel.
"I met the devil. He gave me a choice. A golden heart, or a golden voice," she says at the end of "Girls Against God." Seems like she got both anyway 😁
1:50 is why I love this woman so much. She doesn't hesitate or break flow for a second, the minute she sees Karinya getting emotional she just gracefully sits beside her and takes her hand. I cry everytime. RIP sweet girl.
100 percent what I think every time I play it over and over and cry when I see her reach out scared....rip to this beautiful girl ....may god bless her and keep her by his side
I've watched this a few times now, not to indulge in sadness or anyone's pain, but because it's such a beautiful reminder of why simple kindness is important.
I have watched it a bunch too. I love the energy, joy, and love. Florence (and the machine that altered the guitar) gave such an incredible performance. Every note was perfect, and I could feel the passion. It makes me cry every time.
Indulgence and compassion are very, very different. Don't feel shame for being empathetic. That's the importance of kindness you're speaking of on an even deeper level. ;)
I simply can't imagine being able to sing well enough to sound like THAT, sat on a bed in a hospice room but, that wonderful voice pales in comparison to Florence's wonderful heart. Rest in peace Karinya.
Damn. This touched me.. I used to go play for the folks in hospice.. it was a beautiful and heavy experience.. some don’t have family to visit, some had dementia, some cancer.. but you could always see the suffering eased just a little whenever I played them the songs they loved. Dammit.. I’m crying. Need to start doing that again. If you have a musical gift, this is one of the most sacred ways to use it. Please do it if you can ♥️🙏
Just now seeing this. Florence is the most talented female singer of my generation. But the other amazing thing is you can see how kind, sincere and humble she is. She gave her one of the best experiences. I think I saw below that she passed away. RIP sweetie. I'm hoping you're in Heaven now and can hear Florence whenever you want. 💕
When she starts the feels and just grabs for her friend, and florence sits and holds her. Feels. I'm sure her family loves this moment and the rest of the world feels their sorrow and love with them
Wow... another reason to love Florence and the Machine... I lost a cousin that was like a brother to me at 19, he was 18 and 23 years later I will never forget him... Thank you for this video.
When she sat down and held her hand, it got me 😢 this was a beautiful video. The smile on the girls face even with everything she is going through. Beautiful brave strong woman 😊
She's like a nurse giving a whole different kind of medicine. When she sits with her and sings directly to her giving her this intangible gift. THIS is the power of music.
GOOD LORD THIS IS SO POWERFUL. Also makes me feel so stupid for sometimes thinking I have it hard. I come in from a bad day at work and think my life sucks because I have to work a job I hate. Then along comes this incredible woman laying in bed who would give anything to have my health and be able to get up and go to ANY job, however bad it might be. I can't imagine what this poor girl has been through. Yet just having someone she likes come in and sing a song for her is enough to forget the world, lay back, and enjoy the music and the moment. Kind of puts things in perspective. My little problems are so stupid. I have good health, good family, financial security, and many more years to give. Thank-you, Ms. Chen, for helping this man to appreciate the things I have in life. I hope and believe you are in a place where you have nothing but good things.
I felt that in my bones, we’re so blessed with so many things that we forget to be grateful enough for, I’ve been feeling a bit sad the very few days due to things I did wrong and blaming myself for past mistakes, then youtube recommended this video for me and it’s the first thing I watched in the morning and It’s just what I needed, what we needed I guess, health is precious and it should never be taken for granted because we don’t know what life hides for us.
This sweet girl was in the room next to my son, when he was just starting his cancer journey. I never got a chance to meet her, but I saw her alot the first week we were at the hospital. RIP
Music is a universal language that transcends culture, race, religion and breaks the barriers between us. It is something we all can feel and understand and connect to. Through it we find a common ground where we can be united in hope, love and harmony with one another. This intimate performance might just be the very best example of that.
Florace and the machine are banned in a few Islamic countries for being 'unislamic'. Same with Beyonce, and Cher to name a few. Music isnt some cure to hate as we put it on a pedestal. Its just sound waves we relate to real world feelings and emotions. Sorry
That says something terrible about man’s religious beliefs though, not the power and transcendence of music. Anything that has the power to bring people together will always be seen as a threat by institutions, it always has been that way, and likely always will. And technically yes you are right, but its only sound waves if you’ve never been moved and stirred inside by good music. To me that proves it’s much more than just that.
Sometimes I get so fed up with humanity, and then there are times I'm at awe. You are defined by your actions. Choose to make the world a better place. Bless you Florence. I love you all.
Awwww sweety humanity is everywhere you look! Babies smiling, people letting you cross the road, hugs, saying hello to strabgers, petting a dog or a cat, helping someone by holding a door open. Be that which you seek and it will find you. Those who bring sunshine to the life of others cannot keep it from their own.
I don't know how how she did it. I would be breaking down so hard. This is such a beautiful moment and so impactful for both of them. I am sure Florence was full of emotion during this just knowing how she came for this private concert. I love her so much for changing this beautiful girl's life like she did
She died in October. She had got much better, she had left the hospice. There is an interview with her on a channel called xcan. She died in her sleep. She will be missed by thousands.
This is the most amazing performance I think I have ever seen. So raw and full of emotion and compassion. God bless Florence and the guitarist and the sweet angel who has passed on.
I come back to this video every time I feel like I’m struggling or sad or angry or something. It makes me angry at myself for being ungrateful or being selfish. It makes me realize that I need to stop making excuses in my life for everything and do what I’m scared to do and work harder for what I want and be kinder and be nicer and be more grateful for everything I have.
That's really beautiful. I wish all the love and strength to you in all you do and wish to do. You'll be successful In whatever you put your heart and soul into.
I saw Florence live in New Orleans in 2015 and she was incredible. Her energy was insane. Probably the most passionate performance I’ve ever seen live.
I’ve been bawling my eyes out over this video for 20 mins. I just can’t stop crying. Even in the hardest, final moments music can still touch the human heart.
Thank you for your service Dr. TsterX.......Florence is truly an exceptional human being.....an angel on earth. She brought my sweet Karinya so much joy that day and strength and hope to live a few more months longer.......
thank you for doing what you do its not easy at all people like you help those who have to cross over it is my birthday and im paranoid about my heart pains, hope you are doing well
I'm normally quite the ice queen, but this has got me tearing like a baby, what a lovely and humble thing to do. Bless her, rest in peace little lady :(
Indeed, and Florence also yet again proved that she's a natural talent in the art of singing. No autotuned bullshit, natural talent as much as it can get. :)
I recently watched a TikTok about Karinya’s story and how Florence came and performed for her. Her vocals are amazing and paired with the story makes for an emotional experience. Bravo to her for pulling this off.
What comes to my mind is that sweet girl, hauling down the road in a convertible, hair flying in the wind, music cranked and feeling no pain or sadness. I hope that was how she made it to the ever-after.
Jesse Sammut god damnit, you're right. Your so goddamn right, ugh I swear I'm not crying.. I've just been infested with ninjas cutting.. onions.. Who am I kiddingg, I'm weeping.
@@xfreyax1556 There was an offensive comment making fun of Yaya's death above mine that I was referring to- not the poster's comment! It's apparently been deleted now.
I think when you realise that this isn't a hospital, but a hospice centre, makes this video hit so much harder. The fact that she chose this song, it puts a positive spin on death. The pain is over. The dog days are over. The dog days are done. RIP Karinya.
Whenever I think life is tough I revert to this video. Always changes my perspective, makes me cry, and reminds me to be grateful for every moment in life
I consider myself a stoic. Apart from this being my favorite song of all time, the palpable compassion of Florence Welch and obvious love in that room made me cry.
Stoics cry, too. It might even mean more when we do because those tears are held and only released for the things which touch our souls. I cried, as well. Always do w/ this video - the emotion in that room bridges time and space. Here we are 7 years later and yet transported in time to join all the love in that room with our tears mixed in.
Second day watching this. The happiness in the girl's eyes really tears me up. We're here to try and make one another happy in a sometimes shitty world. That's it.
That's powerful stuff. Florence's voice, the context of the song, the little girl fighting for her life. This grown man can't help but tear up everytime I watch.
Anytime I need a good cry I watch this vid. Just watching that little girl and the joy that she felt at that moment is priceless. Florence gave her everything she had. It’s one of the most selfless things I’ve ever seen. Brings tears to my eyes.
the emotion in her voice makes me so sad she put so much heart into singing this song to her. Makes me so sad being ungrateful in life sometimes. you never know what situations other people may be in
_Florence’s voice is truly beautiful. I can’t believe she’s so talented even when singing spontaneously in a hospital. Sounds just like the recoded version._
this hit so hard knowing im the same age.. she could have been 23 right now. God bless her and Florence+The Machine for this heartwarming moment in time

This song and lyrics hits differently when you realize it's one of the last songs and experiences she had before passing.
That is actually the best version of “Dogs days are over”

couldn't stop crying. Thought I was under control, then she sat on the bed. The smile on the gal she is singing to was priceless.

I used to go play for the folks in hospice.. it was a beautiful and heavy experience.. some don’t have family to visit, some had dementia, some cancer.. but you could always see the suffering eased just a little whenever I played them the songs they loved. Dammit.. I’m crying. Need to start doing that again. If you have a musical gift, this is one of the most sacred ways to use it. Please do it if you can ♥️🙏
That's beautiful. ❤
I think this song finally set her free, such a beautiful strong girl. Rest In Peace now your one beautiful angel
meandendo you’re *
erika york seriously shut up.
What did she die of?
How do you know she died tho?😢
meandendo she died of what?
Florence Welch could literally throw me out a window and i would thank her for her time
Ahahahaha I know what you mean. Same here 💖
I just imagine as your falling "THANK YOoooouuu" as it gets quieter
Haha but she won't cause she's nice💖
Same lol
LMAO
God bless your beautiful soul..
Just now seeing this. Florence is the most talented female singer of my generation. But the other amazing thing is you can see how kind, sincere and humble she is. She gave her one of the best experiences. I think I saw below that she passed away. RIP sweetie. I'm hoping you're in Heaven now and can hear Florence whenever you want. 💕
Both beautiful souls.
When she sat down and held her hand..My heart ❤️😭
When she starts the feels and just grabs for her friend, and florence sits and holds her. Feels. I'm sure her family loves this moment and the rest of the world feels their sorrow and love with them
i felt the same
I know I'm in tears
@@JustJ-Me same
It's where I lost it.
That was the part that broke me.
Wow... another reason to love Florence and the Machine... I lost a cousin that was like a brother to me at 19, he was 18 and 23 years later I will never forget him... Thank you for this video.
When she sat down and held her hand, it got me 😢 this was a beautiful video. The smile on the girls face even with everything she is going through. Beautiful brave strong woman 😊
She's like a nurse giving a whole different kind of medicine. When she sits with her and sings directly to her giving her this intangible gift. THIS is the power of music.
The lyrics are so beautiful. It was almost as of the song was setting her soul free.
yes.....
Hlo
Yes. One version treats symptoms. The other HEALS.
She's like a doctor.
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry. Whatever, now I'm sobbing.
Jacob Guerra I'm the 1000 like
Jacob Guerra dude I had the very same thoughts!
to see, how happy this little tiny girl is with the singing from Florence!
I skipped the first part and just started crying.
Ya, was chopping onions, too. ;)
Her voice is so gorgeous even in a little room with just a guitar. This song must hit hard after battling illness
GOOD LORD THIS IS SO POWERFUL. Also makes me feel so stupid for sometimes thinking I have it hard. I come in from a bad day at work and think my life sucks because I have to work a job I hate. Then along comes this incredible woman laying in bed who would give anything to have my health and be able to get up and go to ANY job, however bad it might be. I can't imagine what this poor girl has been through. Yet just having someone she likes come in and sing a song for her is enough to forget the world, lay back, and enjoy the music and the moment. Kind of puts things in perspective. My little problems are so stupid. I have good health, good family, financial security, and many more years to give. Thank-you, Ms. Chen, for helping this man to appreciate the things I have in life. I hope and believe you are in a place where you have nothing but good things.
I felt that in my bones, we’re so blessed with so many things that we forget to be grateful enough for, I’ve been feeling a bit sad the very few days due to things I did wrong and blaming myself for past mistakes, then youtube recommended this video for me and it’s the first thing I watched in the morning and It’s just what I needed, what we needed I guess, health is precious and it should never be taken for granted because we don’t know what life hides for us.
I feel this sentiment too. But remember, your pain and struggles are always still valid.❤
This sweet girl was in the room next to my son, when he was just starting his cancer journey. I never got a chance to meet her, but I saw her alot the first week we were at the hospital. RIP
Rebecca C. How’s your son now?
Makes me sad 🙏🏽
I hope your son is doing well Rebecca!
I hope your son is doing okie
ici excuse me how rude are u
Music is a universal language that transcends culture, race, religion and breaks the barriers between us. It is something we all can feel and understand and connect to. Through it we find a common ground where we can be united in hope, love and harmony with one another. This intimate performance might just be the very best example of that.
Florace and the machine are banned in a few Islamic countries for being 'unislamic'. Same with Beyonce, and Cher to name a few. Music isnt some cure to hate as we put it on a pedestal. Its just sound waves we relate to real world feelings and emotions. Sorry
That says something terrible about man’s religious beliefs though, not the power and transcendence of music. Anything that has the power to bring people together will always be seen as a threat by institutions, it always has been that way, and likely always will. And technically yes you are right, but its only sound waves if you’ve never been moved and stirred inside by good music. To me that proves it’s much more than just that.
Roger Moreno some say music is evil
Black White you’re really missing the point here
@@RainyRunningRiver would say that is true. But music is great. 2% of people in the world don't feel emotion when listening to music
Sometimes I get so fed up with humanity, and then there are times I'm at awe. You are defined by your actions. Choose to make the world a better place. Bless you Florence. I love you all.
Yeah, it's things like this that make the sorrow sweeter
Wow. I have a whole new admiration for Florence and her talent.
I needed something to help me believe in humanity again. This helped. Even if only a little.
Linds Tee don’t put you’re trust in humanity. You will be deceived.
Same....Unfortunately these acts, such as this one, are too far and far between.
That's smart but don't live your life looking over your shoulder . Also Florence is a goddess
I don't want to be mean but how this helped you to believe in humanity?
Awwww sweety humanity is everywhere you look! Babies smiling, people letting you cross the road, hugs, saying hello to strabgers, petting a dog or a cat, helping someone by holding a door open.
Be that which you seek and it will find you. Those who bring sunshine to the life of others cannot keep it from their own.
I don't know how how she did it. I would be breaking down so hard. This is such a beautiful moment and so impactful for both of them. I am sure Florence was full of emotion during this just knowing how she came for this private concert. I love her so much for changing this beautiful girl's life like she did
I think she got a little shaky when the girl started to cry but she knew she had to keep singing and doing her best because it was important.
Florence was amazing. Her lyrics are wonderful as well so, when she's singing, shes singing directly to your soul and spreading positivity and love.
Gotta love Florence, no sadness just a tidal wave of joy, even when faced with a beautiful girl in her final days. Made my heart smile.
rest in peace karinya you will be missed by thousands, thank you for leaving an everlasting print on me🙏🏼❤️
Wait? Did the girl on the bed die? :c
Dylan Ng yes 💔xx
Cameron Hill so sad! God bless her and her family
She died in October. She had got much better, she had left the hospice. There is an interview with her on a channel called xcan. She died in her sleep. She will be missed by thousands.
what she had guys? ):
Florence Welch has such a beautiful soul!
RIP Karinya ✨❤️
Trent Welch what happened to her
tori gee she died
Wait she died?💔💔
She was so cute 😢
May she Rest In Peace 🙏🏻❤️
This is the most amazing performance I think I have ever seen. So raw and full of emotion and compassion. God bless Florence and the guitarist and the sweet angel who has passed on.
I'm so sorry to hear she's passed. Just stumbled across this video, it left me in tears. Such a beautiful girl
I come back to this video every time I feel like I’m struggling or sad or angry or something. It makes me angry at myself for being ungrateful or being selfish. It makes me realize that I need to stop making excuses in my life for everything and do what I’m scared to do and work harder for what I want and be kinder and be nicer and be more grateful for everything I have.
Amen so true
I guess we all the same....this video is beautiful ...florence and the girl...I just keep watching this video when life brings me down to my knees
Well spoken good luck
That's really beautiful. I wish all the love and strength to you in all you do and wish to do. You'll be successful In whatever you put your heart and soul into.
Same. I'm so grateful for this video
i was able to hold in the hysterical sobs until florence sat down and the girl began singing along and i really thought about the lyrics
I saw Florence live in New Orleans in 2015 and she was incredible. Her energy was insane. Probably the most passionate performance I’ve ever seen live.
I’ve been bawling my eyes out over this video for 20 mins. I just can’t stop crying. Even in the hardest, final moments music can still touch the human heart.
I'm a physician who has taken care of sick as well as dying patients and this warmed my heart. What a beautiful thing for Florence to do.
Thank you for your service Dr. TsterX.......Florence is truly an exceptional human being.....an angel on earth. She brought my sweet Karinya so much joy that day and strength and hope to live a few more months longer.......
Yes I love how she kindly directed the crowd bc she knew how much the song meant to that sweet girl. “It’s not over yet” when people started to cheer.
@@CatChenI'm so sorry for your loss
thank you for doing what you do its not easy at all people like you help those who have to cross over it is my birthday and im paranoid about my heart pains, hope you are doing well
@@CatChenthis was a beautiful day for your daughter
I'm normally quite the ice queen, but this has got me tearing like a baby, what a lovely and humble thing to do. Bless her, rest in peace little lady :(
Samuel Unwin same
Indeed, and Florence also yet again proved that she's a natural talent in the art of singing. No autotuned bullshit, natural talent as much as it can get. :)
I absolutely love Florence,her voice is like listening the heaven singing 🤩
I recently watched a TikTok about Karinya’s story and how Florence came and performed for her. Her vocals are amazing and paired with the story makes for an emotional experience. Bravo to her for pulling this off.
That voice. If she brought her a short moment of happiness then it was worth it.
The kid in the blue shirt had no idea what he was witnessing.
He just a little kid. Probably struggling with the idea of his sister dying?
Kids are smarter than you think.
But he will remember and look back on this as a very special moment in time for his sister and be glad that he witnessed it.
i think he knows what was going on, it was his sister.
I thought the same exact thing.. no idea
Brave young girl. She made history & left this legacy of a duet with Florence.
Hello Lisa, how are you doing today.
What comes to my mind is that sweet girl, hauling down the road in a convertible, hair flying in the wind, music cranked and feeling no pain or sadness. I hope that was how she made it to the ever-after.
Hello barbara,how are you doing today.
Florence: sits and holds her hand
My eyes: open the valves
Amen, Claudia!
The haven't even started and I just couldn't contain them tears is just unexplicable
Hlo
if that girl can smile then so can I
Jesse Sammut god damnit, you're right. Your so goddamn right, ugh I swear I'm not crying.. I've just been infested with ninjas cutting.. onions..
Who am I kiddingg, I'm weeping.
Nope. That girl is freaking strong. I'm freaking bawling. IM NOT FREAKING OKAY 😭
Way to make this about you.
Stop making me cry 😂😂 amen
As another posted: What was I complaining about. Can't remember. I cried. Thought I was in control, then Flo sits on the bed....
I haven't cried like this in a long time!! God bless them all.
I would never stop crying if she sang directly to me, her voice is that powerful and beautiful.
The "Dog Days" of this young woman's suffering are over and she can finally rest easy.
@@oliviakirby1409 what kind of monster are you oh my god
She means her suffering is over she's free
@@mars1061 damm you took that the wrong way
@@xfreyax1556 There was an offensive comment making fun of Yaya's death above mine that I was referring to- not the poster's comment! It's apparently been deleted now.
@@mars1061 ah okay! sorry
I think when you realise that this isn't a hospital, but a hospice centre, makes this video hit so much harder. The fact that she chose this song, it puts a positive spin on death. The pain is over. The dog days are over. The dog days are done. RIP Karinya.
Beautifully thought out and articulated.
Rest in peace Karinya.💓
Whenever I think life is tough I revert to this video. Always changes my perspective, makes me cry, and reminds me to be grateful for every moment in life
I consider myself a stoic. Apart from this being my favorite song of all time, the palpable compassion of Florence Welch and obvious love in that room made me cry.
Stoics cry, too. It might even mean more when we do because those tears are held and only released for the things which touch our souls. I cried, as well. Always do w/ this video - the emotion in that room bridges time and space. Here we are 7 years later and yet transported in time to join all the love in that room with our tears mixed in.
RIP Karinya, you really are a blessed girl! And thank you Florence for going to her😄
tears have entered the chat
And snot 💀
Exactly
I farted a bit too
it's, uhhh, allergies
...
im allergic to emotions
Glad I wasn't the only one.
Second day watching this. The happiness in the girl's eyes really tears me up. We're here to try and make one another happy in a sometimes shitty world. That's it.
That's powerful stuff. Florence's voice, the context of the song, the little girl fighting for her life. This grown man can't help but tear up everytime I watch.
when Florence takes her hand at 1:54 ... so instinctive, so genuine ... I cried
So sweet…tender.
Elle a quoi cette femme
Someone must have been chopping onions near me...
Didn't make it past 1:49.
I am a 43 year old dad and I bawled my eyes as well.
The fact she passed away soon after this breaks my heart :( rest easy beautifull
Did she have an eating disorder?
@@runwithscizzors3904 No, she had a rare type of bone cancer, bless her soul ❤️ruclips.net/video/7c1Bjalu5nw/видео.html
She got to see Florence live and it set her free ❤️❤️❤️
Run With Scizzors not every slim person has an eating disorder lmao
Caitlin’s Makeup he wasn’t trying to be mean
So much love in that small room, and the gorgeous voice of Florence brought healing to all of the hearts there.
Anytime I need a good cry I watch this vid. Just watching that little girl and the joy that she felt at that moment is priceless. Florence gave her everything she had. It’s one of the most selfless things I’ve ever seen. Brings tears to my eyes.
I was doin' all cool, chillin here fightin back the tears, then she sat down and took her hand and i cried like i was being born. wow. RIP young lady.
Charlie Bourgeois I thought there was a hair on my screen bc your pfp
larrisa ping sameee
1 year later and I tried wishing a wish bc of that eyelash pfp
the emotion in her voice makes me so sad she put so much heart into singing this song to her. Makes me so sad being ungrateful in life sometimes. you never know what situations other people may be in
I'm crying and I'm sure you're crying and there's no need to hide it! This was beautiful!
That was so very beautiful. I’m glad they were able to bring her some joy and comfort.
_Florence’s voice is truly beautiful. I can’t believe she’s so talented even when singing spontaneously in a hospital. Sounds just like the recoded version._
God used florence
Who is she? Is she famous?
@@ameliaweights look her up.
@@ameliaweights ruclips.net/video/mMTuXnLiZ2k/видео.html
This little girl needed to hear THIS song.....
I just want to say Florence is so strong. As soon as she requested dog days I started crying.
Hello Jennifer, how are you doing today.
Every time I hear this song I remember this sweet and brave girl on that bed❤
Me, too.❤
she sounds exactly like the studio version 💖💖💖
DominicaDesu even better
Florence has the most comforting presence. She should be the example for all artists.
Rest In Peace to this sweet angel
Hey 🌹
this hit so hard knowing im the same age.. she could have been 23 right now. God bless her and Florence+The Machine for this heartwarming moment in time
