This is the first time I've heard a song with "Patricia" in it. I know she sings of a different Patricia but I cried throughout because the lyrics is in tune with my essence as a human being too. It's hard to explain but overall this song is really ethereal and has shaken me to the core. Especially with the "Do you feel loved?" part.
Patricia Naomi Lubid I’m sure Florence would be glad to know that this song resonates to other Patricias as well :) it’s a very beautiful song filled with sincerity!
I drink too much coffee and I think of you often In a city where reality has long been forgotten Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love...
I can't believe the great number of comments here asking who is Patti Smith! Leaving aside the fact that Patti is one of the most influential female artists of all time and one of the founders of punk music, can you really be a die-hard Florence fan without having ever listened to her biggest artistic influence? Please run and listen to her music! It will be 100% worth it.
One favorite artist singing about my other favorite artist 🌌🦄 Patti Smith marked my life in an extraordinary way. She is the reason I started writing poetry at age of 14 ❤
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star And I have to tell you something: I'm still afraid of the dark You take my hand in your hand - from you flowers grow And you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world beautiful [Pre-Chorus] She told me all doors are open to the believer I believe her, I believe her, I believe her She told me all doors are open to the believer I believe her, I believe her, I believe her [Chorus] Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh [Verse 2] You're a 'real man', and you do what you can You only take as much as you can grab with two hands With your big heart, you praise God above But how's it working out for you, honey? Do you feel loved? Do you feel loved? [Chorus] Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh Oh, oh [Bridge] I drink too much coffee and I think of you often In a city where reality has long been forgotten Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love [Outro] It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing Oh, oh, oh It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing to love It's such a wonderful thing SHARE THE LYRICS RECOMMENDED VIDEOS Post Malone's "Stay" And His Acoustic Guitar Skills Fall Out Boy Breaks Down "Thnks fr the Mmrs" Justin Timberlake Paid Tribute To Prince (And Maybe Janet Jackson) During His Super Bowl Performance Breaking News From Linkin Park & Machine Gun Kelly Rewind: The Evolution of Amy Winehouse “PATRICIA” TRACK INFO Produced By Emile Haynie & Florence Welch Written By Florence Welch, Emile Haynie & Thomas Bartlett Release Date June 29, 2018 EXPAND TRACK INFO WHERE WERE THE LYRICS OBTAINED FROM?

YES! FINALLY ! Old flo has come back. This album sounds like a more organic and pure florence, more of a flo i love to hear just like in her first years before hbhbhb
You realize she's a person and not a vegetable right? There's no such thing as a "purer" Florence, people change as they get older and she's never been anything but herself in all of her music. It's your prerogative if you dislike HBHBHB, but it's rather arrogant to judge her based on her true character when as fans we really can't know anything about her. Let her work speak for itself and don't disregard what you dislike as being somehow "un-Florence", recognize that that's just your taste.
First of all, you don’t have to use an aggressive and degrading tone. Secondly, is it a fact that im talking about? No. Is it a fact you’re talking about? No. Just opinions and i think you totally misunderstood what i meant by pure. I am not saying or implying she shouldnt change. I always support her. And again something you misunderstood, did i say i dislike her previous album? This means there is a particular style i love in her music and this is only my opinion. She is one of my favourite artists and i’ve been following her for 10 years. I think you got up on the wrong side of the bed.
She also performed it at the London's gig this week. Love nearly a cappella start and how rhythm is picking up, ending with passionate refrain and strong message about what matters the most. Can't wait for the new album!
Ella puede estar por encima del cielo y hacernos sentir su luz donde quiera que se pare y entone una canción, esa arpa es la unión de su alma, este álbum es simplemente sublime y majestuoso.
This & big god give me sort of the same vibe. It could be a continuation to big god since her lover wouldn’t pay attention to her. like in this song she says “how’s it working out for you, do you feel loved?”
pedro henrique Yeah! I cut it off at the beginning by mistake but you can hear her say “...version” right at the start. She said it was a special acoustic version for the show !
The way she sings about Patti Smith is the way I feel about HER!!💕

"Oh Patricia, you've always been my north star." 🌟
The crowd just even clapped without her telling to. Her songs itself had faded into the crowd’s soul. Beautiful!
I drink too much coffee and I think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love...
She's such a great storyteller I love her
What a incredible voice.
She’s adorable 💔
Harps are back!
Yeah right? This album is going to be great!
You see the security girl contemplating her life with the song in the background . Like damn herrrr voice though !!!! ❤️💕💕💕💕
Cannot WAIT to see her again in November 😍😍😍
She just sings what you feel 💖👌
She’s Angelic and has swooped down to lift us up! Namaste you beautiful light being!

Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something: I'm still afraid of the dark
You take my hand in your hand - from you flowers grow
And you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world beautiful
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
[Chorus]
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
[Verse 2]
You're a 'real man', and you do what you can
You only take as much as you can grab with two hands
With your big heart, you praise God above
But how's it working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
[Chorus]
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh, oh
[Bridge]
I drink too much coffee and I think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
Are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love
[Outro]
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing
Oh, oh, oh
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing

She is real queen of peace
I just adore how you extended your hand and there was this quick connection there haha

Haaa the harp is back, it's only now that I realise just how much I missed it ! So ready for this album, Florence never disappoints
I’m really loving this album
the whole gig was so magical

I can't describe with any words of this world how much do I love this band and Florece!

I love this I miss the vibes I got from Lungs, and this is the closest so far from the new album.
Ella puede estar por encima del cielo y hacernos sentir su luz donde quiera que se pare y entone una canción, esa arpa es la unión de su alma, este álbum es simplemente sublime y majestuoso.
This song is so amazing, maybe my favorite of the new songs
This live version was EPIC and right now with everything’s that’s going on I felt like this song expressed concerns to what was to come.
God this performance made me feel so connected to her, this was so emotional
Unfortunately the crowd could not just sing like her but loved her performance, the climax gives me such elated feelings with tears
She’s so good live holy shit
This performance always makes me cry 😭 ❤️
I love this song can’t wait
my angel.
She sounds soooo amazing!!
Perfetta ❤️

Layza how do you know ?? 😱
Scott Williams on Instagram
Scott Williams someone commented on her instagram and she said that she watched it
Is this about Patti Smith?😍😍😍
yes she confirmed it on an interview
Maybe but her voice is more in tune to Annie Lennox. To my ears she does. 11-11-2021
3:27 she looks at us
That fact that you kept reaching your hand out just makes this video better. It just fits it
thank you for recording this, she is such an amazing woman
A M A Z I N G
Thank you so much for uploading this live video. It's amazing! I'm so overexcited! Woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Flawless. xoxo
This & big god give me sort of the same vibe. It could be a continuation to big god since her lover wouldn’t pay attention to her. like in this song she says “how’s it working out for you, do you feel loved?”
"TELL US WHO IT IS FLORENCE!"
Oisin Leavy “you’ll figure it out” ahahah love her and her gestures
Yes! She's so adorable!
GUYS THE OFFICIAL PATRICIA (ACOUSTIC VERSION) IS ON ITUNES. OMG.
OMG
Fuck I want this album
How she does that, I feel like she touch me from inside 😍
I wonder if she ever got to meet Patricia and if she's heard the song yet
Love it! Last night was incredible. Did you by any chance film any of Mother?
Sarah no sorry !! Haha I stopped for a bit when she told everyone to put their phones down !! Was amazing tho ❤️
Scott Williams ah no problem, the videos that you did take are brilliant! The whole night was amazing! 💜
Scott Williams she told yall to pull the phones down? looolll
Is she talking about Patti Smith?
Bruno Henrique Carrascoza yes
yes
who's Patti smith
gooooosebuuuuuuuummmppsss
Scott Williams has great taste in Jewelry. ;)
Possibly dumb question, but was this in England or Canada?
IAmPlaysWithSquirrel England
Did she confirm this version as an acoustic version of the song?
pedro henrique Yeah! I cut it off at the beginning by mistake but you can hear her say “...version” right at the start. She said it was a special acoustic version for the show !
Scott Williams really? I enjoyed it so much as it is! I don’t think it needs more arrangements
Am I the only one that's jealous of Patricia?! 🤦🤦🤦🤦
bb ❤
That stage is too tiny, she needs to fly free!
Patti Smith.
deusa
Wish she would do the studio version live. The acoustic version just isn’t as intense imo.
at the beginning of the song she dedicates the music to whom
ok, but one question: how old is the girl in the left front corner ? she is a security guard but she looks like 14 ?
that security girl :3
This is gonna sounds weird but damn you have beautiful hand lol
Who is Patricia?
10 not liking? Must be Beber fans
Fairy
This song is crawling in my head for sure.. it made me trance in some part
