I miss my best friend like hell. But she comes to visit me in my asleep and we'll talk and laugh and for those short minutes I am whole again. Love you forever dear sister
This song... I was dying in hospital and all the experiences described by Florence are exactly what I went through. My fiancée was my practical ghost, telling me to breath and to live. About a week after I finally came home from ICU, general ward and rehab we went to see Florence and the Machine live in Manchester and this was the opening song. Oh God, what catharsis.
And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But she came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light
Amazing song. CORRECT LYRICS FOR THAT VERSE ARE OFFICIALLY AS FOLLOWS: "And the only solution was to stand and fight. And my body was bruised and I was set alight (as in fire) But you came over me, like some holy right and although I was burning you're the only light." - Per Florence. HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND.
And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials, before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands.
"And my body was bruised and I was set alight. But you came over me like some holy life. And although I was burning you're the only light." Not the other.
*And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy light And although I was burning, you're the only life*
@Greenm91ify You are not being FORCED to upload these lyrics, but when you do so, there's an unwritten rule that those lyrics should be CORRECT. I mean, why the hell would you just guesstimate what they are, you couldn't conclude that there might be an already existing version of these lyrics on the internet somewhere? A quick google search got me the CORRECT LYRICS. Also, maybe he's not telling you what all to correct because he doesn't want (cont in next comment)
@superkittymaniac Could be, I've been listening to it again and I'm starting to doubt...I think Florence is laughing her ass off at all the attempts to decipher her lyrics.
I don't know the background of the song, but it sounds like it's about the singer being comforted by her grandmother in a dream. The grandmother used to comfort her after school- "My doe, my dear, my darling. Tell me what all this sighing's about." -until her untimely passing. Now, years later, the singer is going through a rough time when at the end of the day she sees her grandmother in a dream, comforting her like she used to. Even if it's only for a night.
oh ok so you're a hypocrite now in addition to providing false information to thousands of people, got it. "Don't tell me what to do", last line = "tell me what to correct or shut up"...hmmmm so it's ok for you to boss people around but not the other way? sorry that's not the way it works. Also I'll tell you whatever the hell I damn please because it's just common sense at this point; YOU ARE PROVIDING MIS-INFORMATION TO PEOPLE. (cont in next comment)
@Greenm91ify Get your ego in check and learn to accept criticism. It's not being rude to correct someone if he says "I'm not trying to be rude", you're giving false information to thousands of people. Honestly, you owe it to the people viewing this video to correct your mistakes. If you can't handle that you shouldn't be posting videos. You're the reason people think Baba O'Riley is called Teenage Wasteland.
@Greenm91ify Could this be the chorus? : "And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was loose and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light"
And I don't care what the internet says, OR what this video says.. My doe, my dear my darling? I hear "My tone mighty, my dame. Tell me what all this sighing's about "... Like, hear me and hear me loud! Stop moping on your misery. I read this song is about a dream of her deceased grandma. I imagine that being her grandma talking to her. (then next on the CD is Shake It Out, so that fits as well.)
And I had a dream About my old school And she was there all pink and gold and glittering I threw my arms around her legs Came to weeping (Came to weeping) Came to weeping (Came to weeping) And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night And the grass was so green against my new clothes And I did cartwheels in your honour Dancing on tiptoes My own secret ceremonials Before the service began In the graveyard doing handstands And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But you came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning, you're the only light Only if for a night My doe, my dear, my darling Tell me what all this sighing's about Tell me what all this sighing's about And I heard your voice As clear as day And you told me I should concentrate It was all so strange And it's so surreal That a ghost should be so practical Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night Only if for a night
@SaraB1423 You should be able to make lyric vids using Windows Movie Maker pretty easily. All you would need to do is keep adding 'titles' on the Home tab. That will give you the background and then you can add the text. You can format the text with different effects too, like if you wanted the text to scroll for instance. Then just add the music you want on the home tab too. Movie maker is free to download if you don't have it already. Hope that was some help.
"Ghost shouldn`t be so practical, only for a night. And my only solution was to stand and fight" For me it`s more like fighting nightmares of the past, overprotective grandmother/mother. Fighting something that you can`t get rid of and wish to have a calm night. Only for one night.
i believe its "but you came over me like some holy rite", not "but you came over me like some holy life" but oh man this song makes me cry every time ;n; so beautiful.
This is my favorite song, it reminds me off that first moment when florence stepped out on stage at the concert. It marks the beginning of something amazing, only if for a night.
And the only solution was to stand and fight And my body was bruised and I was set alight But she came over me like some holy rite And although I was burning your the only light My DOLL, my dear, my darling
I honestly don't know and I'm wondering, do you guys think it may be "and although I was burning, you're the only light"? It's hard to understand what she's actually saying in parts of the song
the only thing WORSE than having a youtube argument over LYRICS, are the pathetic people looking back in the previous comments to see the argument they missed and comment on it >.
@langee628 You got the lyrics right. "My body was bruised and I was set ALIGHT - and although I was BURNING you're the only LIGHT". Makes sense now right ;) Have a good weekend!
You are right for the most part: exept she did cartwheels and dancing before the funeral of her grandma("My own secret ceremonials, before the service began") ;)
Well that song is sad in some part but it's great to sing it. It you sing that song in an audience you would nailed it. Thumbs up if you think the same.
I miss my best friend like hell. But she comes to visit me in my asleep and we'll talk and laugh and for those short minutes I am whole again. Love you forever dear sister
..."but my body was bruised and I was set alight", not "my body was loosing all the satellites" :)
Also "but you came over me like some holy rite. And although I was burning, you're the only light." and "my doe" not "my doh" Cheers.
i guess it makes more sense now lol :)
ahahahahaaa hilarious lol

I know how u feel!
Love
And my body was bruised, and I was set alight,
But you came over me, like some holy rite.
And although I was burning, you're the only light.
Thanks
This song has such sincere meaning, and is dedicated to her late Grandmother - it's absolutely beautiful
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
+Joshua Jackson and my body was spent and I was set alight, but you came over melikesome holy one
I quoted the lyrics that Florence and the Machine provided iTunes. I'm not just giving my best guess. You're way off.
+Joshua Jackson hey! I was only a few words of but your right
I know I'm super late for discovering this super now...but don't care...luv it
+kimberly williams still love it, amazing ...

I think it "But she came over me like some holy rite"
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes

In the graveyard doing handstands.
"And my body was bruised and I was set alight. But you came over me like some holy life. And although I was burning you're the only light." Not the other.

*And the only solution was to stand and fight

This describes the relationship I have with one of my teachers, I love her so much! And she has helped me so much!

Doesn't she sing "Madame, my dear ,my darling" ? That's what lyrics sites say at least.
Hmmmm... I have now seen it both ways on five different sites.. I think it might sound like 'my doe' to me... but I am really not sure...
That's what I hear
Great song in my opinion!!
Wolfy SilverShadow it is! :)

"Only if for a night"
I thought it was Doe
I'm sorry but your interpretation of lyrics is terrible. I would sing satellites to myself as a joke.
And the only solution was to stand and Fight, and My body was bruised not a sign of life.
french montana stole her song, used her voice, destroyed it, hid its meaning beneath profanity and rude pictures.....
i believe its "and my body was bruised and i was set alight"
@Fluffyhead90 "And my body was losing all it's satellites."
is this really Florence singing? Doesn't exactly sound like her
+Chizom Anime i think they may have altered the audio to be a bit higher
I thought the same thing, it must be a copyright thing
And I had a dream
About my old school
And she was there all pink and gold and glittering
I threw my arms around her legs
Came to weeping (Came to weeping)
Came to weeping (Came to weeping)
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
And the grass was so green against my new clothes
And I did cartwheels in your honour
Dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials
Before the service began
In the graveyard doing handstands
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
And the only solution was to stand and fight
And my body was bruised and I was set alight
But you came over me like some holy rite
And although I was burning, you're the only light
Only if for a night
My doe, my dear, my darling
Tell me what all this sighing's about
Tell me what all this sighing's about
And I heard your voice
As clear as day
And you told me I should concentrate
It was all so strange
And it's so surreal
That a ghost should be so practical
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
Only if for a night
this song almost sounds like florence wasn't singing the song
man did you butcher some lyrics
@DragonAgeChick
show me how to make it better or yes consider yourself as rude
Isnt it, "My body was losing all sign of life"?
um...I don't think all those lyrics are right
Absolutely beautiful.
Yes i agree this song is awesome.
It's a lovely song.
Yeah
Makes me wanna dance cry and sing
Rihanna brought me here
Good, Florence Welch is a god.
Darkrain Videos that's why I said a god.... lower case. that's kinda how the English language works. God is God, lower case god is any other deity
Actually, it's my body was bruised and set alight.
I don't understand. What's so great about this song? Why is Florence so awesome? GOD I CAN'T TAKE HER SHE'S JUST TOO AWESOME.
@wolfzrockes sometimes you have to add a pitch shift or something to get a copyrgithed song on the site

My body was bruised
I was set alight
(correct lyrics)
@nkdiddy03 i just know that Florence actually had a dream about her grandmother and she told her that she shoud concentrate.
I knew something was...'off' sounds slightly higher than album version
A voice like that shouldnt be altered...at all.
i believe its "but you came over me like some holy rite", not "but you came over me like some holy life"
but oh man this song makes me cry every time ;n; so beautiful.
i uploaded a video with this song as the background but they said it's copyrighted. how did you get yours to work?
Rihanna brought me here
Why is it written Greenm95ify on your videos and your channel is Greenm91ify? BTW Great videos thank you!
Is it just me who hears: * And i heard your voice as clear as DEAD*???? so not DAY... Right?
rihanna sent me here lmao
Oh no i'm sorry!! it is DAY not DEAD srry. But is always heard DEAD -_-" *sorryy*
This is my favorite song, it reminds me off that first moment when florence stepped out on stage at the concert. It marks the beginning of something amazing, only if for a night.

You got the lyrics right. "My body was bruised and I was set ALIGHT - and although I was BURNING you're the only LIGHT". Makes sense now right ;) Have a good weekend!
You are right for the most part: exept she did cartwheels and dancing before the funeral of her grandma("My own secret ceremonials, before the service began") ;)
Well that song is sad in some part but it's great to sing it. It you sing that song in an audience you would nailed it. Thumbs up if you think the same.
If that was the real line, which it isn't as Erin pointed out, you could say that the satellites mean people and they stopped hanging out around her.
This song is so surreal.
this is such a beautiful song, that i cant even believe it! "its so surreal"
"and my body was (blank) now it's cellulite"....I don't hear the whole "satellite" thing. I just can't figure out the (blank). Frozen?
Wow! I honestly thought she said "like some Holy Rite"....not "Holy life". That's a little disappointing. Love the song anyway. :-)
umm...anyone else notice that this is not the original song? its sped up and not Flo's voice..... not like, arguing but just noting..
The vids. fine... For all you people bitching about this, Id like to see you make one better. Keep up the good work Greenm91ify!
:)
Amazing song! I'm just a little picky but everyone seems to get that wrong; it's "Florence + the Machine", not "-and the Machine".
Before my grandmother died, she asked me to sing at her funeral. I chose this song because it was her favorite. Ironic, huh?
is this the song inspired by her grandmothers ghost? either way the imagery in this song makes it an absolute masterpiece :D
i love this song it was a dance song for a dance in my studio ps i do not own it i go to it
last row 5and6
Watch the "Vampire Diaries" crew invade...!
Actually, it is My doh, my dear, my darling. Don't believe me? Try going to an accurate lyric website.
directlyrics
maybe she meant that she was descending into chaos, so was losing everything, then a ghost came and helped her back...
I love this song but I honestly Couldn't understand anything she said into I watched the lyric video
these lyrics arent even close
there are quite a few lyrics wrong in this video, just saying in case you need accurate lyrics.
dude.. there's no point repeating the lyrics in the comments, there's a lyric video just up...
On RUclips search scrud and watch the one that comes up that has stickfigures! Its awesome!
@bunnyluver02 she had a dream her grandmother was alive again and giving her advice on life
Those aren't the lyrics!! It supposed to be "And my body was bruised and I was set alight"
she is talking about her deceased gradmother..... :( I know exsactly how she feels.....
@rainningonallmovment you've got to be joking! You must be getting paid for saying that
only if for a night could it happen for all of us.
but we still have this song.
*lose
I looovee this ok and no N O "french montana" did NOT bring me here so stfu (:
:L It's kinda "But my body was bruised and I was set alight". Close though :D
R.i.p Grandma i smoke and drive and think about all the time only if for a night
I prefer this version because her voice is pitched. It sounds better
@rainningonallmovment I CANNOT WAIT TO BUY HER NEW ALBUM. This is amazing.
You heard correctly, the lyrics for this video are just a little off.
and if someone already said what i said, sorry, i don't read comments
Well, i dont know about anybody else, but pandora brought me here....
