@oliviacannon-moses8697 yup! if they went out with a full orchestra this single track would have the same cost as the entire album. From what the net says + life performances, Which Witch is far from it's final form. And I'm scared of it. It's too powerful.
Agreed! I’ve just become a recent fan of Florence and the Machine and I’m ashamed of myself! Growing up as a musician influenced by Enya, Kate Bush , Meg Myers , Tori Amos !!! I am in LOVE WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT FLORENCE WELCH
believe it was a song that she wrote at the beginning of writing HBHBHB where she was still a bit stuck on Ceremonials and had to write her way out of that era. Markus pushed her quite a lot to veer away from that vibe. Minus the brief horn section this song would have fit too easily on Ceremonials, lyrically as well as sonically. It’s a fan favourite though so glad she still released it
Hey you I pray you are always strong keep her in your mind … Got a machine head? “Mind strong, body strong Try to find equilibrium Head straight, screwed on We screwed up for too long I don't want to lean on the waves I watched the storm evaporate I think of you and starry skies That keeps you so alive” @spooky jim Christmas
It's crazy that it took me until now to really see how amazing and powerful this song is. That is what I love about albums, it takes years to process it and gain new perspective and understanding to the music on each track!
I like to think that all the angels in heaven would sound as beautiful as Florence. She sounds heavenly in whitewashed contrast to the evils of this world.💛🧡❤💛🧡❤
I don't know what it is about this song everytime I hear it I get chills it's as if my soul gets happy or awakened I still remember where I was when I heard this song the very moment it was playing at a electronics store and it stopped me in my tracks like I was in a trances Ive never heard anything like it and had to find it and that was years ago and I still get the same feeling I got back then something about this song is just so insane I can't quite put my finger on it but it's unlike anything I've ever heard in my life only this one song does that
I absolutely love this song! and The lyrics is also put on the video really well! l l l l l l l l lbut truly? whitches were aggresively burned, but it was also pretty calm in a lot of places, they were just like "Do you think you did something wrong?" if yes, then just don't do it again. Most people convicted of being witches, went free. l l l l l l l l l l l I've had a presentation about the witch burnings in school and here is some of what I found out ( timeline, translated via. Google translate, since the original wasn't in english) Timeline (Pt. 1 ) Approx. 160 AD was "the golden donkey" written where there were descriptions of the Thessalian witches. they were witches who anointed their bodies with oils and turned into owls. ------------------------------------------- Approx. 500 the Lex Salica was written which was a tribal law for the new Christian Salic Franks on the lower Rhine. It said that if a witch (in Latin strix) was convinced to have eaten a person, she or he should be sentenced to death for the murder. ------------------------------------------- and The medieval church considered the belief in witches to be a pagan superstition according to the Canon Episcopi from the 9th century and was incorporated in the decretum Gratiani. The priests had to preach against the witch belief in women who claimed to have flown over the sky in the company of the goddess Diana, as this was a "pagan superstition" ------------------------------------------- In 1090 near Munich, three women were burned as witches. It is said in a chronicle from the time that they died as martyrs. ------------------------------------------- The Malleus Maleficarum is a handbook on the execution of witch trials which was published in 1487. After much research, researchers have found that it had as much importance as previously thought. ------------------------------------------- 1575 - 1675 was the high point of the European witch persecution, however it was already on the way back in 1660 in most places in Western Europe. ------------------------------------------- In 1610, witch burnings were resumed due to the witch hysteria in France. The inquisitor Alonso de Salazar Frías traveled to the Basque Country and interrogated many people. Salazar wrote a report in which he said that "there were neither witches nor witches before people started talking and writing about them" ------------------------------------------- In 2013, a woman named Kepari Leniata in New Guinea was burned alive as a witch. ------------------------------------------- In 2022, 59-year-old Jostina Sangweni was attacked by 2 men who accused her of being a witch, after which they abused and burned her. She later died from her injuries. If anybody wish to learn more about the witch trials, and other people who were convicted for saying something the church deemed wrong, I recommend using sources like Britannica. this is ofc mostly in western europe, since I didn't focus on the whole world in my presentation.
The fact that this is a DEMO. I´m sure that if this song was ever completed it would either cause a world peace or the end of human kind.
I’ve been asking myself how this was only a demo since the day it came out. I bought the deluxe version of the album just to have this song
what a masterpiece
This is a fkn DEMO???

If I had her voice I’d never shut up omfg sing everywhere I go
I will never understand how this song wasn't on the album #itdeservedbetter
and pure feeling i ask myself the same question every time I listen to them

This is hands down the most underrated song I've ever listened to
Everything about this song is perfect. Can you imagine what this would look like if a symphony or marching band played it?! Gorgeous and intense.
5 years and yet this song makes me feel SO strong. I love this woman and her art has been getting me through all these years 🥺🖤
Hey you I pray you are always strong keep her in your mind … Got a machine head? “Mind strong, body strong
Try to find equilibrium
Head straight, screwed on
We screwed up for too long
I don't want to lean on the waves
I watched the storm evaporate
I think of you and starry skies
That keeps you so alive” @spooky jim Christmas

Speaker isn’t enough, I need to eat this song
This song is just a masterpiece
Years later, still a masterpiece
This song never fails to amaze me
They should have used this masterpiece in “Suffragettes”
0:00 and on is when it gets really good
Been a F+m fan for 15 years and never heard it! My current obsession. It’s my prayer, my rage and my womanhood
This needs to have a theatrical remix for Dr. strange 2 trailer. It would be amazing.
ABSOLUTELY! i also think it fits wanda's character really well, and since she's in the new movie it would be SO COOL im so hyped already
Her music heals and feeds my soul and heart
I’m miles away, he’s on my mind
Me 2
God dammit, I find this 8 years late? And it’s a demo?! I was about to go looking for it on Spotify to add to my witch playlist! It’s so good!
I like to think that all the angels in heaven would sound as beautiful as Florence. She sounds heavenly in whitewashed contrast to the evils of this world.💛🧡❤💛🧡❤
My favourite all time Florence song
Amazing Beautiful song even as 7 years old!
Thank you for the time you took to make these!!
Glad you like them!
Getting to use this song as my senior solo is so amazing

Florence invented witchcraft
LMAOO
Love this
💯💯💯😍 this song
Aaaaah Goood
amazing!
Florence 💕💕💕
This song makes me want to dance naked under the full moon 🌕
Literally bro
CRAWLING ALL THE WAYYYYYYYYY
If I was a UFC fighter or something similar I'd come out to this song.
This feels like a reference to The Scarlet Letter
The church, yes... the church!... would have burned Florence 300 years ago and the machine ☻
And then those heretics themselves would have burned up, struck down by heaven
If you aren't a person that the church would have burned back in the day then I have no interest in knowing you.
Which witch is which? ❤
Never to return but i never learn, it's a pity...
They better use this song in a end credits on Agatha All Along
Reminds me of Nancy Downs from The Craft
OMG this song is made for Wiccan
Chained and shackled, oh
I'LL UNRAVEL, oh
It's a pity, oh
Thank you, though, for the time and effort you put into this.
