Lyrics:
As long as I stand
To face the crowd
To know my name
To know its sound
It’s good to be soft
When they push you down
Oh God turn me into a flower
It always takes me
It’s such a curse to be so hard
You shatter easily
And can’t pick up all those shards
It’s the curse of losing yourself
When the mirror takes you too far
Oh God turn me into a flower
You see the reflection
And you want it more than the truth
You yearn to be that dream
You could never get to
‘Cause the person on the other side
Has always just been you
Oh God turn me into a flower

You know it's a good song when most of the replays are at the beginning.
Eating Taco Bell in my car on a Sunday night at 8:30 pm listening to this right after a breakup and all is well with me
Fuck yeah Luke
Fuck yeah Luke
fuck YEAH luke
Fuck yeah Luke (From the UK 🇬🇧)
100🥺❣
Seriously top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard. The last two minutes or so feels like she’s casting a spell and helping us reincarnate into a flower lol
I’m curious about the other songs from your top 3
Oh those last two minutes!
What are your other two?
I'd like to know the other two songs as well, spit it out
Lol, agreed. It's giving Arial gets her voice back spell too, haha.
As long as I stand
To face the crowd
To know my name
To know its sound
It’s good to be
Soft when
They push you down
Oh God
Turn me in
To a flower
It always takes me
Such a curse
To be so hard
I shatter easily
And can’t pick up
All those shards
It’s the curse
Of losing yourself
When the mirror
Takes you too far
Oh God,
Turn me in
To a flower
You see the reflection
And you want it more
Than the truth
Yearn to be
That dream
You could never get to
Cause the person on the other side
Has always just been you
Oh God,
Turn me into
A Flower
Ooh (x idk how many but it’s lovely)
Thank you
Inspired by the myth of Narcissus I think.
God bless you
Ooh (x idk how many but it's lovely) is the next No [×42]
Thank you
She's the person who calms your soul down when no one is around
Definitely! Yes.
Absolutely yes
Her music makes me so grateful to be alive.
yes
Same!
❤
This might be my favorite vocal performance from Natalie. I'm ready for this album to emotionally wreck me.
when she goes higher register for long notes, daaaaamn
@@Datpleb it's just too good 😭😭😭
This album is currently MURDERING ME (in a good way)
@@briankamps it's still murdering me and I'm happy about that
I was listening to the record for the first time and accidentally fell asleep. When I woke up the second half of this song was playing, for a few seconds I thought that I had died in my sleep and that I’m now in heaven
Lamo same situation
Her voice is magical, I was sad but this made me feel hope, like everything is going to be better. She’s an angel sent from heaven to calm me and protect from pain
I don't feel any hope.

lmao she is not
@@strangewayfaringstranger uncertainty must drive you
The next Celine Dion!
This really hit me in the guts. Sobbed for 20 mins. She unlocks something. Also, twin Flame is crazy good.
you should listen to "sirens" by Mary Fahl
You guys should also listen to All Delighted People (original version) by Sufjan Stevens. ❤
I had such an incredibly cathartic experience listening to this. Driving down a road that cut through thick woodland as the sun was low in the sky, deep orange sunbeams blinked through the perforated foliage, and as the sounds of nature poured out of the speakers I was taken over by a sense of deep wellbeing that moved me tears. Natalie, if you're reading this, you have such and extraordinary gift to give to the world. Please never stop using it.
This is like something you'd hear when you arrive at the pearly gates.
this song feels like when you lost everything and the only thing that you have is hope
For me, this feels like a successor to her song "movies" for some reason, but it's even more ethereal and mesmerizing. I love the steadily increasing volume of nature sounds like the birds chirping while the instruments and her voice are slowly fading out.
It is. They're both about the relationship between escapism, denial, and narcissism. In Movies, Natalie gets lost in the fantasies of the stories she grew up with and dreams of herself as their main character, neglecting reality in the process. This song is what you get when those dreams don't come true and fall apart, because your imperfection makes you incompatible with them.
God Turn Me Into a Flower is heavily inspired by the tale of Narcissus, a man who fell in love with his reflection because he saw it as perfect, but did not recognize it as himself. The third verse is Natalie's realization that although she dreamed she was the star of a show, she did not recognize the star as herself, and when she began to do so, the fantasy fell apart because it was incompatible with who she is. But she also saw her own beauty regardless of that. The "flower" symbolizes a better ability to cope with reality, one that is not concerned with achieving unrealistic or overwhelming expectations and is instead soft, flexible, and beautiful in and of itself. A symbol of acceptance of the self and reality.
I love those two songs because down to the love of fictional narratives and how that led me to not recognize my image of myself, I have lived them both. Only now am I becoming the flower.
you're totally right @@alexz4752, personally this is my favorite song of all time, the best song I've ever heard in all of my life, I have to hear this song like I need to breathe, beautiful poetry, it's like a dream, a mystery, something beyond all of us, ineffable, peace for me, truly a refuge.
I just lost my father a week ago and during this week I found "Titanic Rising". It's been a rough time since I've seen my father get worse and worse until the day he had his last breath in front of me, my mother and my brother. The only soothing thing I could find was your music. It calms me a bit and makes me think of my dad in a non tragic way. I still think of him but it doesn't hurt. So thank you for that.
❤❤
❤
Beautiful ❤️❤️
one of the most beautiful songs ever written
yes, it truly is, I agree
Interesting. Another person felt this way in the comments, saying "Seriously top 3 most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard." I replied to him with the other two songs: Franz Shubert's "Ave Maria," and Prince & the Revolution's "Sometimes it Snows in April."
This album is going to be like that thing in your life that you can depend on to come home to
god turn me into a flower is just if movies had a daughter
Very accurate LOL
I fell in love with someone and we had what I would say was the happiest day of my entire life. But I don't think we will ever be together. This song captures my feeling perfectly, the hope, the sorrow, the epiphany, the burning in my chest.
In that case you HAVE to listen to The World Spins by Julee Cruise, it's an imperative thing to do, please listen to me and let me know what you think about the song. For me it's the most beautiful song of all time, along with this one, I love both so much.
@@docchicken245thanks for the recommendation.. what an amazing song..
She’s like a siren who lures you into the sea.. to devour you
Nah natalie wouldnt eat you
this is one of the most beautiful songs i've ever heard in my life, the amount of emotion and sensibility on this track makes it such a incredible experience, girl i was sobbing at the bus not because i was sad but because it just made my heart so warm, it really hit me like a truck... damn i missed music that made me feel like this
This really might be her best song yet
I can't believe in my ears. Celestial sound and her warm voice sooth me down...
I'm brought to tears, this is so beautiful. I'm heartbroken the concert near me is sold out
Just wiped my tears and I will be seeing her perform soon my heart is full
@@lemoncakesandmoonpies nice!
Same she sold out near me too 😢
@@lemoncakesandmoonpiesI hope your show was as transcendent as the one I attended.
Can we get the Adam Curtis short film with this beautiful song. It made me cry like a little boy at Glasto and I need it for keeps
She sings like a Disney princess!!! It’s so beautiful
This album is gonna be the best of this year brah
Edit: Yes, yes it was, dare I say better then Titanic Rising
It definitely is I listened to it on the vinyl I got in the mail today. It might even be better than Titanic Rising.
Fricken angelic af cuz
Certainly one of the best
Is there a drop date yet?
@@JoeLaRocca it’s coming this Friday
Such a sad, beautiful song. It brings tears to my eyes almost every time I hear it...
You’ll never see this but your music is a life saver…literally thank you for existing.
the song itself is just gorgeous in it’s own right.
the arrangement is like enya, radiohead & yes had a kid.
a beut.
you are spot on with those comparisons!
natalie’s albums have been somewhat of a spiritual progression for me, which i can relate to. hearts aglow feels like a love song to the collective 🥲
God turn me into a cryer, when this song plays
Love cries inside a transcendent heart.
This song has rendered me …. speechless, weeping, wistful, wanton, spiritual, vulnerable, powerful, blissful, and devastated all at the same time and if that isn’t how a masterpiece is supposed to feel… I don’t know what is. Thank you, Natalie, this is a gift. I hope this is how we feel when we are born. How we feel when we die. How we feel in between. And forever.
😭
So beautifully expressed, April.
Be well.
This is what every composer should aspire: ART. Simply Mindblowing
I had a dream recently that I went through 6th grade as a cis girl - one of those dreams that went on for days. I remember my friends’ faces, what my backpack looked like, the clothes I was wearing, everything. It was so vivid and I felt so relaxed. I woke up with tears on my face, 30 and only a year and a half into my transition. It felt like this song..
Congrats on making it a year and a half (now over 2 years?) I'm just starting my transition and this is an anthem
I am the proud mother of a trans daughter. Near your age. I now understand why boy clothes upset her so much when she was a child. Wish I would have known then. And much sooner. Her transition is going well. She had her breasts done last Monday. I went with her and everything went well. So we're a couple of years in. I see that you posted this 10 months ago. Hope all is going well. I too felt this song. For my daughter. But also just in general, being a cis woman. It certainly could apply to anyone.
@@denneyandthejets7833 Could not agree more. Wow! I thought I was crazy for equating this beautiful song with transitioning. But I did. For my daughter. I only recently found Weyes Blood myself. And this song really really spoke to me on many levels.
@@romanasky6820 you are a great parent. Congratulations to your daughter!
Good Lord. Every time I come in to a Weyes Blood song with high expectations and every time you blow them out of the water.
Beautiful. Just beautiful. The vocal layering and constantly morphing instrumentation here are really something to behold, even by your standards.
EDIT: Just found out Oneohtrix Point Never did the synths on this track. A perfect fit.
are you kidding me... OPN and Weyes Blood on the same track...
I am going to cry
OPN is so overrated
@@MasDouc I disagree :)
That makes all the sense. OPN's small parts can add so much to a song. Like what he did for Daybed on Magdalene.
this song is divine... sobbing
My interpretation of this song is that indeed it's a prayer, a masterpiece. I particularly love that every time she says "oh God, turn me into a flower" she changes it... As if she was shy or insecure somehow but grew along the way.
This song also screams CPTSD... To look in a mirror and wish that you could have fulfilled your childhood dreams... I'm sorry, I can't explain that feeling.
A review of the album I recently read called out this song, and mentioned that there were notes of it being an empowerment song. But instead of wanting to be built stronger, she wants to be made into a flower, so she can survive being stepped
@@briankamps I know this is old...but man that is bars!
True, for me it has also a parallel to death, like when everything will end your body will go back to nature turning into a flower
This song touches my soul
This album is gonna be a classic gem.
Weyes Blood, if you are reading this, this is your best song and one of the best songs ever
rarely has a song been so achingly beautiful.
like a light gently cascading down, healing everything in its wake.
thank you, weyes blood.
All of our mistakes in the human race come down to this ..... I love this song so much
Its not that im trying to gatekeep Weyes blood but like their sounds just really touches me in such a personal way that I have a hard time sharing it with my friends because I dont think they will resonate with it like I have. Titanic Rising has gotten me through some tough times and these songs coming out one by one kinda at a perfect time truly.
I can fully understand what you mean. And for me, although I know it's silly, I don't want to see my favourite people in the world not resonate with my favourite albums in the world. I tend to be extremely protective of albums such as Titanic Rising or Bloom by Beach House as they mean so much to me that I don't want to feel shattered if my loved ones are just "meh" about them. I know it's completely irrational but I guess that's the way it is.
I know exactly what you mean ! ❤
@@espeon2488 No cause I can feel you too, which is why I tend to not show what music I listen to directly to all my friends
Like, I would probably share some on IG story or Spotify playlist or something but you know damn well I will not tell you to listen to my favorite musics directly in front of your face
Gatekeeping is good!
Every person I've tried sharing their music with calls it "shit". Luckily I don't talk to these people anymore
This is the most beautiful song I've heard in my miserable life
She has the voice of a biblically accurate angel this album’s gonna be amazing!
biblically accurate angel is a term I'll try to incorporate more in my everyday life
idk too much about christian mythology but aren't the angels in the bible fuckin gnarly?
@@gizzardgizzard3583 Indeed they are gnarly.
@@gizzardgizzard3583 they’re human like in most books of the Bible, they’re only weird looking in the book of Ezekiel
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
I love “Movies”, Andromeda, Everyday, and even It’s not just me its everybody a lot, but this is easily her best work ever hands down
Its 11 pm drinking in a park and listening to this beautiful song!!
Living the life i see
@@solarqueen2555 i was really unhinged back then going through it lol
Listening to this song always saves my soul when I have bad anxiety attacks.
natalie's voice cleanses my soul and heart. i am blessed. i am pure.
The enigmatic songs of Enya immediately came to my mind while I was listening to this track, and I meant that in the best way possible. Meditative low hums, invigorating bird cries, a vocal performance that is at once both graceful and powerful and euphonious synths all form a melodically soothing balm for the soul, perfect for lying in bed and staring out at the window
This song made me feel something I’ve never felt before
Her voice, songwriting, arrangements...DREAMY. I would love a collaboration between her and Tamino.
This is the best song of the album. We love you weyes blood
I reckon the second half of the song is the part where she turns into a flower
i haven't felt so moved by a song since movies. god this album is going to be fire
edit: i was right
That's exactly what I feel. Both songs are celestial, majestic and utterly sublime.
An exogarden beyond the Kuiper belt
The synthetics sounds and animals, the journey of the voice takes in a warm, dizzy, luminous depth blue
ET had the same heart condition.
My boyfriend loves your music and today we have our 4 months anniversary. Thank you so much for your beautiful music!
I love you, my beautiful boyfriend
I lov u both. Nvr 4get xoxo
i love you guys too
this is so cute 😭❤
Your boyfriend is secretly gay if he's a male that likes this kind of music
The harmonies and chords at the end really remind me of those in "Movies". Hauntingly beautiful 😍
I hope she gives us a music video for this masterpiece soon 🥺 this deserves to be as famous as Movies became
If this OUTSTANDING album is not #1 of the year on MANY lists, then the music world hasn't a clue about how our shared pain & this authentic artist make us BETTER!
😢😢
This was a stellar year for music. Going to be a lot of diverse and excellent top ten lists this year.
@@johnsonspark171what other stellar outputs there were in 2022?
every song on this new ablum is magical, mystical and so beautiful. Truly her new sound is so melodic and pure .Like going into the void and floating into the universe itself.
wow this cover art is incredible. All the visuals from this album have been amazing.
MOVIES must be so proud right now ❤
saw them live last night in Phoenix. never heard her before, so the concert was my first time hearing this song. I was crying the entire time, It was such a beautiful experience for me. thanks for playing the van buren.
This is ethereal and feels from another dimension. How incredible…..
The atmosphere, the vocals, the aesthetic. this is going to be one of the best albums of the year. 💟
1:16 lifts my soul heavenward if only for a brief moment.
Saw her live as she opened for Beck yesterday ❤🥺 she has a new fan...
I forget how long it's been since her last release. This song is glorious.
I go yoga mode and pray to god in that bird part omfg
God turn me into a fly on Weyes Blood's wall. Amazing.
The best of the songs on this album !
She's so real for this.
Seeing this performed live brought me to tears
the first time i ever heard Weyes Blood I thought she sounded so much like Karen Carpenter, and all these years later, singing like this.. breathtaking
I CANT WAIT TO SEE HER PERFOMING THIS SONG LIVE
Fantastic songs like this one can only be written and sung divinely in
her unmatched voice by my favorite singer Natalie. And if that wasn't
enough in the last album there are even more beautiful ones. Thanks Weyes !!
Words cannot decribe all I feel with this song. Beautiful beyond words
Top 20 songs of all time thats not even a doubt
and in the darkness, hearts aglow is going to be a modern day masterpiece
ive been listening to this song on repeat for the past couple days and i keep sobbing after she says "You yearn to be that dream You could never get to
‘Cause the person on the other side Has always just been you"
hits me right in the feels and i just start crying. this is such a beautiful song.
Listening to this live right after a breakup is an unreal experience that I honestly can’t describe.
Ask God to turn you into a flower and he shall turn you into a flower
Thank you Weyes Blood for everything you have and will create! This is amazing
Just beautiful, touch my soul, I didn't feel like this for a long time, im pregnant and this is the type of music that my body, soul and heart needs, omg heaven 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚💚💜💜💜💜💜🤩🤩💫
One of the things I love about Weyes Blood is you can almost 'hear' images in the music- listening to this I feel like the door to my imagination is open wide, such a vivid soundscape. This is going to be a magnificent album!
I recently got out of a breakup with the person I loved for almost 2 and a half years, he meant a lot to me and it was all thrown away in the end, i ended up moving an hour and half away to my home in the Coachella Valley with my family, I recently started listening to Titanic Rising and it helped me a lot, it's one of my dreams to see Natalie in concert, I will forever cherish the day I see her. ♥️
I Hath Ascendeth
This song takes me to places so far so deep within myself, wow bravo
Wow, this is just.... beautiful, even gave me some epic soundtrack of a movie vibes, she just makes music out of this world ❤️
Love this - definitely a reflective tune. Love the vocals also…. And the birds at the end 🫶🫶🫶 Soooo excited for the album
Weyes Blood is therapy!!!
I sing this song like I'm going to church.
The sun is here to stay. Thank you Ms Blood for the welcome lesson
Absolutely bloomin beautiful 😍
I literally cried a little the first time I listened to this song. There's some witchcraft in there somewhere ❤️
