Florence + The Machine - Big God (Lyrics)
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
You keep me up at night
To my messages, you do not reply
You know I still like you the most
The best of the best and the worst of the worst
Well, you can never know
The places that I go
I still like you the most
You'll always be my favourite ghost
[Chous]
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
Sometimes I think it's getting better
And then it gets much worse
Is it just part of the process?
Jesus Christ, it hurts
Though I know I should know better
Well, I can make this work
Is it just part of the process?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, it hurts
(Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, it hurts)
You need a big god
Big enough to hold your love
You need a big god
Big enough to fill you up
Shower your affection, let it rain on me
Pull down the mountain, drag your cities to the sea
Shower your affection, let it rain on me
Don't leave me on this white cliff
Let it slide down to the, slide down to the sea
Slide down to the, slide down to the sea

Florence trying to convince people she's not a witch but I'm over here like I think we found our new supreme
i think she should make a soundtrack for AHS new season!!! or imagine her being part of the cast and she's like the supreme of the british coven
😂😂😂💀💀💀
Stevie Nicks is supreme for the moment i'd say but Florence is definitely part of the coven :)
she has her own coven in london hahahaha
Read the book "Witch" by Lisa Lister. She references Florence as a friend of her little "coven". Stevie Nicks, too ;)
We would like to thank Miss Florence for levitating the women in the video. It really saved us a lot budget-wise.
-Management
That’s the advantage of having a pagan goddess on your record label.
how do i like a comment more than once?
@@Fridaytheth-eg6vk this comment is actually gold tho
great project.
LMAO
Who is here in 2024?
Yes ugh I just heard this song it is brand new too me❤
31.05.2024
Will always be there for Florence ❤️ @@robertrodriguez2263
yep back for the 10,000 time. Although I like Odyssey and Dance Fever better ultimately. But good lord.
anyone else noticing how they not synchronized 100%, emphasizing the importance of feeling and expression rather than perfection? Absolutely loving everything about this masterpiece
СОВЕРШЕННО ТАК.👍🌏🌎🌍🌌🌠🌉🌆🌁
Whoever choreographed this is a bloody MASTER.
Florence was half-responsible lol
RIGHT?
Akram Khan and Florence choreographed.
Aurumn de wilde
Akram Khan, considered as one of the best choreographers in the dance world, and Florence.
How can we persuade Florence to do a duet with Hozier?
crowdfunding?
retweets?
Sacrifice to the Old and the New Gods?
Just tell me and I'm up for it. WE NEED THIS!
the song have to be called When the gods are sleeping" that will be the most fantastic fucking art ever
@@fernandosousa6062 let's make it happen!
I'm still praying on the daughter collab or at least elena/Florence collab
😯 Florence and Hozier duet... I would live
Yeeeees
Me and girls having a sleepover, being feral, practising witchcraft, summoning the old gods. You know, as you do.
Omg you guys let's wear matching skirts! *giggles*
@@EricaMarieLady omg you guys lets wear our matching sacrificial skins! *giggles*
the song is about a man she was talking to and he ghosted her.not about new or old gods.
@@user-is8bi3vx4m I know, but the song and video give of the vibes, so stop being a know-it-all and a stick in the mud.
😁
A round of applause for Autumn De Wilde, who directed this video.
👏👏
👏👏👏
her new work with Florence is even more gorgeous
palmas aqui
Thanks. Followed her immediately 👍🏼💪🏼💃🏻💃🏻
The dancing in this is fucking fantastic. It's this surreal, unsettling war dance, and that kind of movement combined with the colourful veils and the long, long hair is just eerie and threatening in the best way.
And the water... yes! Florence the tropical storm out in the Atlantic brought me here. 😛🌀 Really enjoyed this.
i think florence did the choreography herself
Yes
She clearly studied the art of Pina Bausch ;)
I often ask myself, what would women look like / move like / feel like if there were no male gaze. This video managed to find one way of answering it.
they didn't need any wires or ropes to lift the dancers up, florence welch just does that.
I’m Dead 💀
I still haven't found a way down from the ceiling, tbh. She got me, too. :/
Is she an actual witch?
Storm Lee yeah from the olden days, it's on her wiki
Like,an actual flying witch a spell casting witch?
I honestly love how she shows us women. Yes, beautiful but not moving within the male gaze but as ruthless, of the earth, beastly, brutal women
That's a great description. It's such feminine dancing and yet not sexy, more animalistic, pagan, ecstatic. Like the kind of dancing I'd imagine priestesses of mystery cults did in the ancient times.
I've also noticed this is the kind of dancing I do in my room when no one is watching. It feels a natural way to move my body like that, express my emotions like that. Powerful.
@@ladyreverie7027 your comment struck me because that's the way I tend to move and dance when I'm alone too! There is something innate and freeing about this kind of movement and maybe that's why it's so fascinating to see Florence's choreographies
Fucking lame.
you obvi don't get the song
@@ishtar8725 wym?
Friend : "He ghosted me!"
My coven be like :
Hahaha underrated comment!
This ghosting shit is stupid, immature and out of control. Grow up. 🙄
(Says the girl who was ghosted recently.)
@@J.G.3 Just some friendly advice, don't let them.
@@J.G.3 another friendly advice capture those who ghosted you and sacrifice him/her on a altar to the old god in return for power and dominate the entire world with aid of the old ones
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i can't believe this huge epic hymn was written about not getting a text back. girl me too
Call me a villain but I was convinced this was about something more adulterated. Not sure what, but something.
Only a true lyricist can take petty problems and turn them into rhapsodies
Yeah and what I love about this song is that she doesn't use gender pronouns
saraeli she's probably talking about how God doesn't respond to her prayers, it has a very religious undertone to it.
Whoa!!!!! I love that.
THIS WOMAN IS UNREAL !
Thats Because she isnt from here. Shes from another planet
ArseneVids I agree
She's an angel
She's a goddess
ArseneVids i agree!
I love the part where they drag their hands across the water and then kick backwards in rhythm. 2:31-2:38. Seriously messes me up. Every bit of dancing in this video is so amazing. Florence. I love you.
Thats one of my fav parts too!
In my opinion, this song evokes a little sadness, a little pain, and a little anger. It is pure art.
there is a section in the book The Holy Wild by Danielle Dulsky, that tells a story of Salome, and it’s so similar to this video. she stands in water and removes veils, and at the end she kneels in the water and leans back, and she splashes and shrieks and dances. casting off the veils of the things men have held her accountable for. it’s on pages 66-70 if anyone is interested in reading it:)
Whooooooah
We also have rap battles
Thalia - I love that book, and your comment about Salome brought a new level of understanding of the images of this video. Thank you!
Tealia Madden u go...
I am definitely gonna look for that book! Thank you!
Flo doesn't get enough credit for her dance skill. She has this sultry, dark vibe that captivates me every time I watch her.
She has at least some formal training, but I don't know how ling ago that was. As a trained dancer myself, I think the way she moves is amazing. She understands things it can take years to teach.
You can check out a video of Florence dancing to a few songs from HBHBHB on Vincent Haycock's website. They're equally powerful!
@@nathanboecker9318 pp
One of my all time favorite things about this video is the fact that the dancing and clothing shows the explicit strength found within each of these dancers. They are powerful, they are angry, and they can and will hurt you.
This video is criminally underrated. Feminist, pagan masterpiece.
.
..
Why is it feminist?
@@Kitsune-dono because it completely eradicates the male gaze. Florence made this video for her, and that in itself is feminism.
@@Kitsune-dono also because in many religions and cultures water is seen as feminine energy and power. It is seen a motherly and life giving thing, which it why is is associated with women in particular. The women dancing together symbolises their sisterhood which is strengthened by the water, but to outside eyes, especially males, it it seen as wrong. But, like i said, they are doing for themselves, which almost completely eradicates the male gaze. This video is packed full of feminism.
i can always rely on florence to make me feel like i’ve transcended into another realm with her music and the visuals, sometimes i question if the woman herself is even real
yessssssss
That is a question we should be asking of ourselves.
The cinematography is beautiful in this video and of course Florence's voice is amazing as always. I love the haunting quality.
As some one who is dealing with a lot of religious trauma going into adulthood.... Every part of this moved me
I need florence welch and Aurora to do a song together
YES YES YES
Y E S
* all the lights flashing when they arrive at the studio *
yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
YESSS
I love when she’s all primal and pagan like this. She’s a fascinatingly beautiful creature and her music does stuff to my soul that I can’t even articulate. Can’t wait for this new album!!
Karliene She is so intouch with Earth and her Feminity. She is a breath of fresh air. One of those souls with no doubt was a healer of some sorts in a past life. She is amazing.
Although this song has nothing to do with paganism.
paganism is all about recognizing and honoring that mysterious something that is very much manifest in every rock, tree and human breath. there is nothing that has nothing to do with paganism.
Josh Scott you can even feel the paganism in her
The word paganism is derived from early Christian terminology referring to polytheism. Although the Christians didn't really understand that the true worship of the Celts of that time was monotheistic in it's true nature. So I am simply referring to the truth that this has nothing to do with polytheism at all. So paganism is not the appropriate term for the truth of where those ancient religions derive from.
Her obssession with water is satisfying.
@ChocolateBreakfast nope
@ChocolateBreakfast ha ha
No no no it doesn't
ChocolateBreakfast wap
it’s what the water gave her
@@asa4854 lol
I’m a little bummed this doesn’t have more views given the fact that this is a masterpiece. It’s aesthetically pleasing.
I can't even count the number of times that keep coming back to this music video, it really is a masterpiece, absolutely mesmerizing
this was uploaded 20 minutes ago and its already the most iconic thing
Brie Doll agreed
facts
i used to think she was a witch. I was wrong. she's a pagan goddess
Demo what the heck 😂??
Well, a pagan by definition worships the goddess spirits and nature aka.......they've been duped by demons masquerading as whatever floats their boat.
World Light Warriors where do you roaches crawl from?
She is though
Is your profile picture a sapphire gem from Steven Universe?
The amount of times I cried to the line "Is it just part of the process, well Jesus Christ it Hurts"
It really does :(
This makes me wanna start contemporary dancing again so badly - so much soul in her art 🦋
She's like her own genre now
If anyone's anything like me and can't rest until the little hidden meanings are understood, this is what the director has said:
“It’s about the power the darkness of longing can give you when you embrace your inner beast alone.... Women who bond themselves together like this, and rise up together like this, are usually accused of being witches, so I wanted to explore that. I also wanted to create an abstraction of Florence as if every woman was a small piece of glass that had shattered inside her. Now they join her outside her body and fight with her, love with her, go to war with her"
For the witches reference, take a look at the painting by Goya called 'Witches’ Flight' :)
I like this interpretation, because I always feel like "witch" is a word that is historically misused and when it is used it is used derogatorily at women. I'm familiar with the paint by Goya. I very much remember from a class I currently teach called The Theology of Rebellion in Colonial Jamaica and a woman known as the "Nanny, Queen of the Maroons" who apparently sustained over 17 gunshots by some accounts and kept fighting with her hack blade against the British who mercilessly abused and enslaved the black population on the island. Even so, the Nanny fought alongside "her boys" and she didn't fight for black women alone - she certainly wasn't fighting for white women who were all too comfortable with watching the abuse the slaves endured - she was fighting for the black men and women. She was of a single mind in some sense, she had to kill to save her people, her fellow black slaves who were held captive and tortured by British men and women alike. The theology of it all comes into question when we start discussing a sort of witchcraft that is actually banned in Jamaica called Obeah, and it exists in some other Caribbean nations, but Jamaica is known for banning a large book (which I own for the purpose of studying) common called The Obeah Bible, which gives very precise instructions on how to perform rituals and other rites that call upon spirits to harm others, often during the victim's sleep, the astral body is attacked and when the person wakes the damage done is real and so some people attributed the power of the Nanny to Obeah, but this is a conversation for another day and another time. Obeah is less influenced by Catholicism because Britain infamously followed in the footsteps of the murderous King Henry VIII and now the Anglican community, in all of its disarray, is very divided between The Anglican bishops of Africa, where the faith and practice of followers closely resembles Catholicism much more than what is referred to as the American branch or the Episcopal community, which many of the African bishops have condemned as being unfaithful to the teachings of Christ. All these things tie into together, but I can't give the syllabus for the class on youtube or you would despise me all the more; however, I can simply say that my point here is that while I appreciate this explication, it forgets that women and men need each other and separatism has never worked for any person or peoples. Even St. Anthony the Hermit had to make his way to the nearest Egyptian town every so often to obtain some supplies for daily life. The part about embracing your inner beast is perhaps poorly worded, because I'm trying to give you the benefit of doubt here - but if you can't explain that a bit more, I would rip that apart as preposterous.
Oh yes! They totally took inspiration from that painting! Beautiful
thank you for this, i spent a good deal of time just staring at the Goya painting whilst listening to this and it actually brought me to tears.
I imeidiatly noticed the reference to that painting
I'm trying to understand. Sometimes it takes a little time to settle, before the intellect catches up...at least in my case. I hear you, though and I'm doing my best to get what this means. Thanks
She is pure divine feminine and it’s so powerful and beautiful to see her and hear her express it! Phenomenal 🙌🏼
when we give ourselves entirely to the spirit of the dance, it becomes our prayer

Petition to make Florence Welch the patron saint of ghosted lovers
YESSSSS
I read this as patreon saint 🤣🤭
Honestly she should be.
that's sad though..
St Welch
This song and dance feel so beautifully ancient.
The vocals, the lyrics, the visuals, the feelings are all so beautiful.
This is the type of music video where you have to replay it just to focus on the song because both the song and the video are such complex and meaningful pieces of art
Yes...And I never understand it.
i just keep replaying 1:01 ,,,,,, i'm just gay,,,,
So that's what the water gave her.
gumyumgirl I actually laughed out loud 👏👏👏
Delete omg
I'M ACTUALLY CRYING
i love you
This made me laugh so hard. Thank you.
I'm returning after two years and this song only has 15 million views? So underated...
Still one of the most powerful songs and music video I’ve ever experienced
Give this woman a freaking Grammy for crying out loud
nejwa B who actually cares about the grammys. It's obvious that they don't even listen to the albums they are awarding, when Macklemore beats Kendrick in best Hip Hop album...
This album should be nominated.
I’d be disappointed if she won one. We’re talking about putting her in the likes of Taylor Swift...
+ TheatreofSymphony Yeah! Unfortunately the grammy currently sucks, seems to be all about sales and not about talent. In the past the awards were better.
Why stop at one? But no, seriously they miscategorize and give it to popular people instead of talented artists.
Can we please take a moment and appreciate the fact that the comment section of this video has to be one of the most peaceful and funny parts of youtube?
This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. She’s literally a musical witch and I am here for it.
That's how they make holy water

😂
Or the devils juice 🤷🏻
This comment is painfully underrated
Who needs sleep when Florence is about to bless the world. I have been delivert!!!!!
YESSSSS omggg
Fucker Del Rio YUS!
😩👏🏾😍🇧🇷
The part where the women levitate and she comes out from under them gives me goosebumps every time.
You too, eh? ;)
Me too also when they jump into single file and then out.
@Musictechnology Woah no way, I thought they were actually levitating! Fuck outta here with your wink ass having ass
Jesus Christ it hurts.
Me, too! The way their heads are hidden reminds me of the way suicides or executions by hanging are portrayed without showing the details. That's the reason for my goosebumps, but I still need to figure out how exactly it fits the lyrics/song...
Normally not a big fan of dance, but this video... words just escape me, wow. Evocative and so on point for the song. It's nine women dancing in a puddle, but manages to be a transcendent work of art. Big kudos to Autumn De Wilde and the rest of the team that produced this video.
the choreographer for this video is a GENiUS !
The choreographer in this is Florence and some other dude... Soooo... Tell us something we didn’t already know.
@@DC-df8vk that "some other dude" is Akram Khan, one of the top choreographers in the dance world. Florence is amazing as a dancer, but he's the one who took her nad genius and interpreted it as a group number.
The song “Big God” is about “obviously, an unfillable hole in the soul,” Ms. Welch said, “but mainly about someone not replying to my text.” -Florence Welch. #NewYorkTimes
Original Article. mobile.nytimes.com/2018/06/14/arts/music/florence-and-the-machine-high-as-hope.html
That's Florence, making a deep masterpiece from such a mundane thing
I love it.
Lmfaooo I literally laughed out loud on this quiet ass train 😂😭
She's the goat
And this is why I love Florence. This song is about someone not returning a text. The ability to put so much depth in that is insane!!
She really is an artist
One. Of. A. Kind
Hahaha I don't see it that way. For me, the unreplied messages she's referring to are prayers.
Thaís de Matos No, she’d said it’s about getting ghosted. But when you really want someone, that is AWFUL. My boyfriend of two years decided to just get really distant and uninterested instead of having the balls to actually break up with me, so this song is very relatable.
I think you may be missing Florence's point, Demo. It isn't about the other person so much as it is about how we can put so much meaning into a non-response; how our own minds can create a "reality" that actually isn't there.
What even is Florence Welch? This is magic. Pure magic.
Cottagecore? Don't know her. My aesthetic is feral, batshit crazy sisterhood only

I come back here every so often and I can’t believe that I did not like this song when it was first released. I guess I just didn’t get it or something just didn’t connect with me…but I am so glad I have since come to my senses and now I freaking love it. It just unlocks some type of hidden female rage that I didn’t even know I had within me and I love to sing and dance along now and embrace it
"Is it just part of the process? Well, Jesus Christ, it hurts"
Bastante.
i just love when she dances. I feel like I'm dancing too without moving an inch
Chisom Anyanwu I feel the same! It's magical! 💕

Chisom Anyanwu Couldn’t have said it better.

This isn't just a song or a video... it's a mood, a mantra 🖤🔥
they're dancing where eleven goes to see the demogorgon
That you dear.
Ah, so Eleven was there for the levitation!
Would look so good in HDR just like those Eleven scenes do
Honestly, the best thing about this song is how it builds up. The piece growing and growing gives a very visceral effect when all of the drops happen. In that essence, it feels very primal and fulfilling.
bla bli blu in a positive sense na mean
this video confirms Florence is a modern-day witch.
tf?
i wonder what coven she’d be a part of...
i’m convinced
Its been known. She has her own coven im sure. She is magnificent.
Me too
this song really speaks to me.
as someone with bpd (borderline personality disorder) i often feel like my heart is too big for my body, but at the same time i feel numb. I want to experience my emotions fully but at the same time i can see how I'm hurting those around me and i want to rip them out of me with my bare hands.
"You need a big god, big enough to hold your love," - no one could possibly hold this amount of longing, especially not me.
"You need a big god, big enough to fill you up," - i feel nothing. Not even the one i love can make me feel anything.
Watch Why I am a Christian by David Wood on Acts 17 Apologetics RUclips channel. Also read the gospel of John to encounter Jesus Christ. It's true. Only God can fill us up.
@@peacetruth4802 as an ex-christian, please do not try and push religion onto people, especially when they're having a moment. I'm glad you've found something that gives you peace, though.
This is one of my favourite music videos. Haunting, beautiful and powerful. We all feel like this when someone ghosts you.
I'm so happy that I am still awake. Thank you Florence for being here to bless our ears. Your voice has pulled me through some tough times.

Every screenshot of this video is a wallpaper
I love the deep symbolism that is rooted in this video. From what I see, the water symbolises feminine energy and power. Water in many cultures is traditionally seen as a life giving and nurturing entity which is why it is associated with women in particular. The women dancing together symbolises their female bond and sisterhood which is strengthened by the presence of the water; but to outside eyes, their bond is alarming to some (especially to males), so they are wrongly and dangerously labelled as witches and persecuted.
Absolutely love this interpretation! 🖤
Love your interpretation! I had not thought of all the symbolism involving water here. But, it reminds me of an interview Florence did, where she said she was told by her record label/manager (I forget exactly whom) to stop writing songs about the water...given your interpretation, I don't want her to ever stop using the imagery of water in her art!
@Malhab 😂😂😂
@@kaylycoleman9956 "Water is a good way to describe something that feels so large and out of your control that you couldn’t put it in words. It’s so big a force, but it’s not malicious; it’s this kind of unknown thing. Because I think I feel things in quite a big way, a lot of times."
That's what Florence said about her imagery of water. The song is about a break up in which Florence needs a "Big God" to help her handle her emotions, since they are too strong to handle. So I guess the water symbolises her emotions as she describes both as very powerful things which are very hard to handle
Hmmm.. sounds like ur still so sheltered in ur female privilege that ur blind from true gender equality that modern feminism ignores to get more privileges than they already have
This is perhaps the BEST music video I will have EVER seen in my life
this is like a total EXPERIENCE! it was like watching a Play in a Theater, the level of Art that put into this MV is unpredictable and beyond masterpiece.
Can we take a moment and appreciate the choreography and how greatly it connects the character and atmosphere of the song and video? Thank you!
Yeah I love how it highlighted the female form so much
Yeah. That's the point of the video.
💫 The high as hope era is already so iconic 💫
I agree! So so stoked.

Slide down to the, slide down to the sea
I don't honestly understood the lyrics.
Care to explain?
She isn't pagan. Her songs have to do with God but she doesn't make it overly obvious. " Let your affection rain on me " " you need a big God to hold your love " because only God can love us more than anyone else.
@@emmacarr4097 did she say this herself though? or are you just filling blanks with your own thoughts?
Actually, for me it sounds like she’s singing about a toxic relationship. I can relate those lyrics with a relationship I once had.
„I still like you the most, you‘ll always be my favorite ghost“ (he/she is ghosting her but she still feels strongly emotionally connected her/him)
„Sometimes it’s getting better and then it gets much worse“ ( you have those sparks every once in a while, that makes you believe that he/she loves you indeed but you get fooled every time and then it gets even worse than before)
There are some other lines that make me understand that song in this way.
But not it mood to explain them all.
All in all, that kind of love eats you up from the inside thus you need a very big God to hold that love otherwise it‘ll destroy you
@@emmacarr4097 she's singing about sex not god lol
It's a lover that treats her like shit, never returns her messages, ghosted her and left her broken hearted
it holds some power, like all of them there are so confident and it just makes me proud to be a woman
She's no one hit wonder. She keeps bringing it. High class and high quality.
That's how I like my Florence! Dark and Otherworldly.
This is a moving painting, so beautiful 🌷
This might be her very best video. It's simply stunning.
This is why we need art. To feel emotions we've never felt.

She wrote this because someone didn’t return her text.. & this fact made me love her so much more.
Fernando Mikell they did not reply cause probably they were terrified haha
And now they can't reply because they've been turned into a llama or something.
Lmaoooooo omg

Damn it, I just looked it up and you're right. It's just like "Delilah" I hear the lyrics and watch the video and form all these deep allusions and metaphors and then find out it's a millennial problem like this (She wrote Delilah after waiting for a boy to call her while on vacation) haha I love her so much. She can make the most mundane, "first world problem" into such a hauntingly beautiful poetic journey!
All i need now is an Aurora and Florence collab and then my life will be complete
There are no special effects, this is 100% her power
Okay this might be my new favourite Florence music video
I can't say there is only one fav...
Just the simplicity, the colours. Idk it's just really aesthetically pleasing and suits the mood, kinda also reminds me of drumming song with the backup dancers
It is for sure!
Asome video!
So dark and sexi we stan
The coven witches and their powerful supreme performing the seven wonder we all stan.
hahahahhahahaaha i love this
So wish they used this in coven!!! 😍
This never got the audience it deserved. Great song, and just stunning video
the aesthetics! the colours! the cinema!
don`t touch, it´s art
Even after hundreds of listens, the song still makes me tear up and the video makes me cry. It's just that powerful.
This song becomes more powerful when you block your ex for good.✌🏼
...Hit the light gurls!
I can't stop watching this. Amazing, powerful, raw, female energy!
Yass queen slayy
Hi there! thats me under the blue veil with the light blue skirt :).
Hi back! Are you the one to the right of Flo and next to the yellow veil? Either way, cracking video.
So?
Agnes Bloom so cool!!!!
Can you explain the meaning of your dance moves?
Wow! You dance beautifully in this.
Where was I when this was released.. dayum.. she leaves me speechless every time.
Reminds me of a Maori Haka. So powerful. So much expression and emotion. Love it.
Wow. *Somehow it conveyed a macabre ambience without gory, blood soaked scenes.* Kudos to the director, those fantastic dancers and singer/artist.
