Florence + the Machine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
HTML-код

- Oct. 16, 2018 | Josh Rogosin -- Her nervousness was palpable and stood in stark contrast to her fully produced stage show. "I'm sorry I'm shy," Florence Welch told the crowd of NPR family and friends gathered for her Tiny Desk performance. "If this was a big gig, I'd probably be climbing all over here and running around."
Opening with the song "June," from Florence + the Machine's 2018 album High As Hope, Florence performed with her eyes closed. By the end of the three-song set, she fully embraced the experience and gave in to the rapturous audience. Within seconds of hearing her first note, the raw power of her un-amplified voice was chilling.
It's impossible to talk about Florence without her backing band. Tom Monger adds exquisite ethereal textures to the songs with his stunning mastery of the pedal harp. Hazel Mill's backing vocals and anthemic power chords on the keys accentuate the poignancy of the lyrics at just the right moments. And Robert Ackroyd's rhythmic, steady acoustic guitar drives the music forward.
But the intensity of the musicality is almost secondary to the message in her lyrics. Ear-worm melodies coupled with repetitive phrases create universal, awe-inspiring anthems. At the end of her first song, Florence implored the crowd to hold on to each other. In "Patricia," she insisted it's such a wonderful thing to love. After 14 enchanting minutes, it's impossible to disagree.
Set List
"June"
"Patricia"
"Ship to Wreck"

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.
shes helped us all through so much. an angel on earth.
I still come back to this concert all the time. Like an emotional connect.
That's intense
Bro same situation. I also needed these to get me through my time glad i wasn't alone
I hope you are better now, better times have come!!!
Florence Welch could literally throw me out a window and I would thank her for her time
Thanks for the lol on a Friday afternoon. :) I agree that she's pretty great.
Lol!
I thought it was very funny your comment, but yeah totally agree with you
simp
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.
everyone talks about florence alone, and don't get me wrong she is a *powerhouse* but the band is absolutely incredible too. They're ability to transcend me to an ethereal plane with their music when they're this stripped-down is amazing.
Same
The backup singer really adds a nice touch.
I‘ve never read another sentence using the word „mitochondria“ besides „the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell“ and now i can‘t stop thinking about it
@@sschmidt8816 Florence Welch is the mitochondria of the cell
@@matrixed8099 she killed it. she elevated her level on this video
i forget im a 6'4 black man in america listening to florence, and sometimes thats all i need
@@Browne7100 what he said had nothing to do with trump... Jesus christ! I bet when biden govermenet is over people will still complain about trump. ugh.
@Noland Johnson 6'3 black man and I absolutely agree with this statement. Flo is amazing. 💯
@@boogiesquatchdoing324 i’m a 6’2 black man just vibing with her music cause she’s so amazing
5’ 7” black women here lol
I agree to that indeed.
She looks like a Gustav Klimt painting 🖼
Anjali Michelle so accurate
She does
Wow. Spot on observation!
🚨🚨🚨NPR Fan Comment Alert! hahaha! The packed with details 'tiny desk' space itself only adds to this effect!
most accurate thing I read about her
A *Florence + the Machine* and *Hozier* album collaboration will be the death of me, I hope I'd ascend into heaven or even just grow wings.
CheesecakeLasagna- omg. that would be earth-shattering. you really think the world is ready for that??
CheesecakeLasagna That album would probably make me move into a cabin in the woods, befriend the wildlife and learn ancient spells to enchant the world.
That album would cure the world of pollution and turn it in to a ethereal paradise where people only speak in songs and whisper in ASMR tones
That album would be amazing, ethereal, illuminating, perfect. I hope we get it one day.
You're absolutely right that would be a collaboration I would almost feel unworthy of listening to, let's hope that one day they will combine their magic 💕
the keyboardist is impressive. Her playing and hitting those perfect harmonies that perfectly blend into Florence's voice.
Just learned that she is "the Machine" -- the original band name was "Florence Robot/Isa Machine" (Isa being a shortened version of her name, Isabella).
@@madsdeshazo5885 woah. Really?
@@briansounalath Yeah! Had no idea! The two of them have been collaborating since they were teens!
@@madsdeshazo5885 She Is not Isa, she is Hazel Mills :)
@@briansounalath she is not Isa, she is Hazel Mills :)
"It's such a wonderful thing to love" part is so beautiful
And I love how at at 7:45 she gives a look like "Here we go.." and then shows each of them in their element and build into the part..
Her Robe matches with her hair. Her melody matches with my heart
Ouh, smooth
🙄🙄🙄
Well played 👏
Haha my response is “aww that’s so sweet” and all the guys are like “nice play dude.”
GOAT COMMENT ALERT!!! ❤
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. 👌🏼
Dude! I was just about to comment on that. She's amazing!
Gabriel I’m pretty certain that is Florence’s long time friend and co-writer Isabella “Machine” Summers.
Dean Lowdon I Am almost certain u are right! They know how to make that deep sound together! Gave me chills
@@deanlowdon8381 Hazel Mills.
Yeah that's not Isa.
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!
Jennifer Martin so true i only listen to this version now
She did a live of Patricia on the late show with James Cordon and it is by far the best that I would listen repeatedly but they removed it 😭
@@angelanamarie2494 I saw her live in Philly and she had us all clap with her like in this video. It felt so powerful hearing everyone's clapping and just getting into it!
8:24 you can see the band wasn’t expecting that outro
When I heard the live version on concert for the first time I left my body
The guy playing the harp tho... Got them scales on god mode.
I don’t really understand why would anyone consider her and her band “average”. Honestly, her artistic work has quality to it, her lyrics are well thought out and full of symbols, metaphors, allusions and creativity...
Daviti Zivzivadze just let the haters hate lol , enjoy the music
Well have you seen the crap they call good music now a days?
There truly is no one that can even compare to Florence
Preferences I guess
@@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 "
What tone deaf geezer thinks she is average? That is a bizarre statement
How she make simple clapping sound so damn good???
Camboy GW she even make breathing sounds sounds like heaven
magic hands??
Reverb
"I'm so high, I can see an angel"
Exactly how I feel watching her sing
Does NPR employ the best sound engineer in the world?
ThePereubu1710 they should hold on to him for like everrrr!!!
@@jaquardchimoyochashe maybe it's *her
@@ztsyxcvg the Audio Engineer is a dude called Josh, says in the description.
@@GoldBlackLotus okay thanks!
Yeah he's super good, BUT also is the amazing acoustics! WOOD, BOOKS, and TRINKETS!
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.
Angel Ramirez what about the tempo would make it hard to perform?
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 (:
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
And that cutoff at the end was PERFECT
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
I think we can all agree now after seeing this that Florence Welch is some sort of a goddess from another world that is currently walking in ours to bless us with her magical voice. I mean, if you can't call that voice magical or divine,. I don't what that is anymore. NPR just made tons of people's dream come true with this!
Literally exactly what I was thinking this entire time as tears of joy streamed down my face and I laughed in delight that this is even a real human being
I’m convinced she And Aurora are Mother earths daughters and they were sent here to teach us about peace, love and magic
i completely agree. literally just back from her concert in edinburgh and she was so incredible i can't even get over it. she is so magical and beautiful and her voice is breathtaking
@@josephtaylor1009 i was going to mention Aurora Aksnes. I've just recently discovered her. She blows me away.
Dan Onil Galang I do not agree, mediocrity at its best. Energy of a funeral procession.
She could sing the school lunch menu, and I would think it was the most amazing thing ever.
😂🤣 ikr!
7:55-8:42 - the music connection that just happened there between Florence and the rest of the band...speechless
7:00
"I drink too much coffee
and think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
And are you afraid?
'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that it's such a wonderful thing to love"
my part made me love that song
Goated
You can really see the quality of every single person in that band. worldclass!
Not really
@Adele Eleda I'm not a musician so I'm really interested how one can judge a musician's abilities when they're playing simple pieces. I mean, nothing she played on the piano was super complicated, I could play that myself. How do you distinguish between a very good pianist and an average one in that case?
They are solid professionals, I think it’s just how well they seem to compliment Florence, especially the Harp/Piano/Backing vocals.
@@Moormores How edgy of you...no, they're actually good and complement each other very well.
Dude I've never heard this band before.. Is it normal to feel this emotional when listening to it? It literally made me cry :) thanks for this!
Yes. Every. Single. Song.
Highly recommend listening to more of their songs if you'd like to continue feeling everything at once.
When it comes to Florence’s voice yes. Yes it is normal to feel such emotion you cry. Saw her live cried the entire time 😂
Yes I’ve loved this band since I was 11, going on ten years this year, I’ll be 21, I still feel close to tears listening to their music.
100% check out more of her music
The first time I listened "Cosmic Love" (years ago), I cried my eyes out and it was so weird because I never cry. She has this effect on people. The same thing happened with "Which Witch".
9:08 "I'm sorry I'm shy" How cute is that ? Florence, don't be sorry, you are amazing!
When you spend the whole day in your bed with anxiety and this set literally lets you go on for another day. Thank you Florence 💓
no7puppetcollection feel better friend ❤️
no7puppetcollection Arohanui to my friend
no7puppetcollection sending you warmth, comfort, clarity and peace 💫
I'm so sorry to hear that. I have a mild form of anxiety and I know Florence always makes me feel better. Hope you feel better soon!
no7puppetcollection I love you. Hope peace is restored soon.
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
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.
Amen! Their voices together each time made my skin crawl in celebration.
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
@Galactic Banana thank you
Geez, that harp.
Killer strings that were so powerful and subtle.
Yeees
The end of Patrica blew me away
her vibrato is so crystal clear omg
Yes!!!
THE QUEEN HAS ARRIVED!
So good. With her saw voice or bucksaw voice.
QUEEN OF PEACE
She is king! 😉

The dogs days are over got me through the hardest time of my life, I didn’t give up because of that song❤️
one time, when I was going through a really rough time, I listened to "shake it off" repeatedly as I was driving and I was screaming and sobbing the words 😂
Micky Hoffman yes bb! For real those songs give some kind of otherworldly power to the listener.
Such a special song ♥️ Memories for me too
I’m glad you didn’t.

Florence on Tiny Desk,
My heart is so full.
i just couldn't believe in my eyes as the notification popped up..!
Youna Lee same
huh
Youna Lee me too! I just talked her up last week about appearing on npr 😊
*Florence performs in front of 40,000 fans regularly*
And admits on Tiny Desk: "I'm nervous."
She's so amazing
Intimate performances can be SO much more intimidating than large venues. I'd rather get up in front of 40,000 than 40 lol.
I cried her entire concert. There is no way to explain how incredibly powerful it was to be in this woman's presence. Mind blowing.
NPR Producers: Hey Joe, we've got a powerful vocal, harp, guitar, piano and BV's - and we need to hear everything perfectly:
Joe Rogosin: Hold my beer
Paul D right?!?! This is amazing on an off the floor level
always striking how complete the sound is on these productions. Magic
I was never a fan, and I now emphasise the was. Sometimes the intimacy of a small acoustic set shows the real magic........ and like a magician the doubt is gone and this performance has blown me away.
Derek Smyth how pleasant
I dont know how you could have “never” been a fan of this band. It is one of the greatest bands to ever play. Thats like saying you were never a fan of Led Zeppelin until you heard them play in concert.
Michael Hartmann some people have different opinions? There’s definitely times I went to concerts for one person and ended up loving the opener so there’s that
Yeah, some people just need to feel that live nerve to really get swept off of their feet. For some kinds of music, I'm one of them.
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.
Sitting here painting with 🐈. Living in the moment of a lite Fall shower passing by, and Florence on Npr.
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
It's funny how that girl is looking so peaceful while playing some badass stuff on the piano and reaching all those high notes while the guitarrist is playing some fairly simple chords with the facial expression of someone who is shredding that guitar xD
I think he is feeeeeeling the music
You gotta admit he looks badass though
HE IS SHREDDING & keeping most of the rhythm AND strumming perfectly (:
As a guitarist I can confirm that "guitar face" is real and involuntary.
When life’s being a bitch just remember
You could’ve been born a million years before or after this ageless Goddess walks among us but no
You were born at literally the perfect time to be here and have the honor to listen to her beautiful timeless work.
And that my friend is the true blessing that is Florence + the Machine!
❤️❤️❤️
wow, that actually really does make me feel better, thank you xx
The odds are literally astronomical
Certainly not a million years before... our species have only been around for about 200k years.
I do often what music sounded like a million years ago🤔
Her ability to hit higher notes with her head down in the first song shows her vocal prowess. I certainly can't do that. She's got something amazing between two lungs.
June is the most underrated song of the album. Its phenomenal
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!
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.
I almost dropped my croissant when I saw this in my reccommended videos
me too
Thank god it was spared
I'm still stuck in repeat mode of Patricia..didn't get through the video yet! Her voice is Phenomenal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the woman on background vocals and keyboard is givinggggg
Florence Welch is THE greatest example of a musician writing music that puts their soul on display for everyone to hear. Always a pleasure to hear her story through her writing. Beautiful.
I love these small gigs by her so much more than the big shows. The focus is much more on all the single instruments and vocals
Such a huge sound from so few people...
I can't remember how many times I've rewatched this mini concert. Still an experience everytime.
Why doesn‘t she have a grammy yet!? I dont get it. Brilliant Talent❤️
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
I felt my heart racing watching that guy go
He did good, great, fantastic.
They've played together from the beginning...years ago! So I'm positive she's not putting him on the spot.
I love it so much hahah but the harp in patricia has nothing on cosmic love
He's great! 😁
How is it even possible to dislike Florence and her amazing band?!
I dislike her and its' group
R u referring to "the machine?"
Because her music is painfully average
@@AlistairIsCool yeah it's not like the most progressive and experimental one, but they do make some very good songs.
i really don't know why people like this music.
She just makes me cry so often and I don´t even know why. Her music is just reaching my heart in such a special way. I seriously wonder if she is an angel..
Same!
Than you need to know AURORA
@@Gabriela282810
I know her and I love her 😌
I will look up Aurora now. Thank you for this
@@aaronstukey9517 I recommend looking her up singing live. She does not bring the tears into my eyes but still she has a very special aura like from another world and for me it feels like a precious heart and soul that needs to be loved and protected.
Florence Welch is one of my favorite lyricist EVER. Her lyrics either make me feel insane but in the best way possible.
I fall in love with every person that performs in tiny desk.
There's always a band, such as this, that you'd expect has already had a Tiny Desk Concert. It always feel like striking a home run when said bands' Tiny Desk videos are released. This is great, and greatly appreciated!
I was thinking the same
@@maiamoreno1662 Yes! It just goes to show how many astounding bands/artists there are, including a range from not well known, to well known artists. You never know what will be uploaded in the Tiny Desk World ❤
Who is watching this after a new video came out in 2022? 😉📺Love her so much! What a big artist!
Florence needs a part 2 😊
Patricia made me cry like a baby for some reason. This was an amazing performance. Have loved Florence + the Machine for years, they always deliver. Thanks for bringing this amazing Tiny Desk Concert NPR.
Leave it to Florence + the Machine to come through on shitty days and just brighten everything up. Getting evicted seems like nothing right now. Best band Ever!!!!!!!!!!
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something
I'm still afraid of the dark
But you take my hand in your hand
From you the flowers grow
And do you understand with every seed you sow
You make this cold world beautiful?
[Pre-Chorus]
You told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
You 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]
Well, 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 that working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?
[Pre-Chorus]
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Do you feel loved? Do you feel loved?
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
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
[Outro]
I drink too much coffee and think of you often
In a city where reality has long been forgotten
And are you afraid? 'Cause I'm terrified
But you remind me that 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
So beautiful
Wow, that was one of the best-sounding presentations of June that I've ever seen. Everyone in the band was on their game and the SOUND ENGINEERING (chef's kiss! Thank you to the impressive Josh Rogosin!!): just impeccable. Every instrument felt complimented and the sound was clear and full without blasting your ears off. My ears are so so very happy! Thanks NPR!
Hold up... is it just me or does Florence's backup vocalist and pianist (mind you), need to start her own band? Damn girl!
lool, her pianist is the machine, that's why the band name is Florence and the machine
@@lonitoyosi8006 but that is not Isa Machine in this performance. Isa is amazing!!!
It’s Hazel Mills and I think she actually has her own band :)
The harp 😍
her voice is so haunting and hypnotizing when she sings so i was not expecting her to sound like that when she talks lol
at 08:26 to 08:28, both Tom and Hazel are like "oh wait, we're doing the outro one MORE time??" lol
Florence and Hazel make an amazing duo.
I love how she can totally modulate her voice between what's required for a huge arena concert and what's required for a tiny acoustic set. It's awesome.
She is absolutely AMAZING live! Like a hyperactive wood nymph that never stops dancing and hits every single insane note!
this npr desk has a special place in my heart
‘Could be terrible’ and it wasn’t 😂👏🏾🔥💯❤️
She has a beautiful timbre to her voice.
Ms Welch holds a special place in my heart 💙. She has gotten me though a lot of many long nights and days for sure so thank you 🙏🏽
She is such a sweetheart, she is amazing ❤
We’re lucky to get cookies or donuts once a week at work. NPR employees get Tiny Desk Concerts. 😒😝
the complex harmonies that lady on the keys is are singing are amazing. And to think they didn't even practice that song🙄
I'm blown away. After watching this it is obvious to me that Florence has got IT. And by IT I mean the type of tender soul and passion that you can hear coming through her voice. She's got a direct line to her soul and we're all blessed to be able to receive it.
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.
Only NPR would upload at 5 a.m.
Good things happen at 5 a.m.

What's a site for finding out up and coming concerts and plays comedy shows....etc etc
You can tell the music is radiating in her brain as she's singing. She's hearing something we can't. I love her
I’m in tears. She is not of this earth.
I wanted Big God so bad but Ship To Wreck made up for it.
Vuyolwethu Mtyapa i feel this so much sis
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
I wanted Delilah....They should have her back.....often ha
Vuyolwethu Mtyapa Which witch would be cool!
STW is so overplayed... I wish she just cut it off the setlist and sang something more unique and beautiful that she rarely does.
They didn't practice Ship to Wreck but they still NAILED IT HOLY COW that sounded magnificent!
I'll never understand how someone could dislike such a beautiful performance
It blows my mind how nervous and shy she actually is and then when she sings it’s like an explosion of heaven in your ears.
She is pure magic.
I really love shy artists. They are entire on the stage.
