Patricia [Acoustic] - Florence + the Machine

Florence + the Machine perform an acoustic version of Patricia, from their album High As Hope, on BBC Radio 2 (5th July 2018)

[@memerakul2648]

I don't cry often, but during the last minute when she repeatedly sings "it's such a wonderful thing to love" it gives me tears in my eyes 😭

[@TheSoraDestiny]

that vocal control damn, voice from another world

[@ZUALMALAMAR]

Yesterday I was crying with this song when I hear it live, definitly Florence is from another world!

[@xyntrk]

I waited all my life to hear my name in a song and now I finally get it and it's Florence Welch? Holy crap, did I luck out. It was worth the 57 year wait.

[@mardenzelaya]

Her acoustics are fire!!!!!

[@BrunoBraziel]

ever since 2011 when I started listening to this angel I can't deal with those harp songs

[@ryanheemann3819]

She’s doing this version live on tour, and it’s fantastic. Just her voice and harp is perfect, with some drums building at the end ❤️

[@giorginatopi7482]

Finally!! Her vocals here are overwhelming

[@bluemannequin]

I’m so grateful for this song; My mum’s name is Patricia and I just love to have this song reminding me of her.

[@lasercat3598]

This is my favorite song of the album! I can't stop listening to it

[@ringthebellamy]

Same! ❤️

[@elizabethtoyota5771]

100 years!

[@AJD...]

no one can sing something like this with so much precision and delicacy. welsh is a gifted singer

[@nicostone2800]

Love both versions. Two different energies. Both beautiful. 💖💖💖

[@giuliapizzicoli3359]

How am I supposed to survive hearing this live. I already know I won't. Pure perfection

[@wailingsirens523]

Lyrics
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star
And I have to tell you something: I'm still afraid of the dark
You take my hand in your hand - from you flowers grow
And you understand with every seed you sow you make this cold world beautiful
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
She told me all doors are open to the believer
I believe her, I believe her, I believe her
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
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 it working out for you, honey?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh Patricia, you've always been my North Star, oh
Oh, oh
I drink too much coffee and I think of you often
In a city where reality is gone and forgotten
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
Oh, oh, oh
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 to love
It's such a wonderful thing to love
It's such a wonderful thing.

[@OfficialPrettyLittleLiars]

As much as I love the final, I'm so use to this version lol

[@januszzkowalik1107]

You make this cold world beautiful with your songs and voice

[@juuliabarcelos17]

THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED FROM THIS MUSIC

[@GayAntagonist]

This beats the studio version, hands down.

[@deanlowdon8381]

Jonah Karlin As much as I love her albums I think her live versions are nearly always better than the studio version. Have you heard her sing 100 years on Jools Holland?

[@fernandoelbrat]

Dean Lowdon yes & also 100 years was better when she performed it.

[@fernandoelbrat]

Originally before she released her studio version I had heard her perform this & honestly it was much better. So thank you, now I have a clear version of this ❤️

[@johnpark9621]

I remember hearing this acoustic version for HAH tour and then the studio version came out then my wig incinerated.

[@eduardomoll9815]

It's such a wonderful thing to love.

[@AsyaPandanda]

gives me goosebumps, once again

[@ringthebellamy]

"It's such a wonderful thing to love."

[@juuliabarcelos17]

Perfect, my favorite hands down

[@Scoot694]

True art ❤️❤️❤️

[@erin1876]

So beautiful 😮

[@antoniofernandez3995]

That ending tho 😍

[@chrisb_1753]

the live versions for this song and 100 years are so much better than the studio versions, I had to say it.

[@deanlowdon8381]

Agreed, the album versions are very good but live is just so much better!

[@jeffersonoliveira4146]

Perfect 😍😍😍

[@jeffersonoliveira1560]

Perfect 2

[@bohdank4208]

Rare and beautifull

[@iTeacupPanda]

They need to get her in the Live Lounge already. I need.

[@zephamurray4282]

This is so beautiful I can't handle it

[@carolmonge1465]

I need a studio version of this song with the harp...😢😢😢😢😢

[@michelejaeger1960]

This is the voice of an earth angel. Absolutely love everything about Florence. Her voice takes me to a beautiful place everything. She makes me feel so many emotions. The stripped down acoustic version of this song is ethereal and healing. Perfection!

[@lanalei1973]

Absolute chills - melts my heart that Patti listened to this

[@josedefreitas8366]

This version fits the soundtrack for a tragic romance movie with a happy ending(this is the one played at the end, moments before the credits)

[@victorleonardo2479]

AMO AMO AMO❤❤❤

[@MinnyMomo]

*crying hysterically*

[@dinewutsotetsi7622]

God bless this woman. She is life, it is not for her but for us

[@rohitpaul1816]

This women herself is a goddess

[@kingalex29339]

the intro to the bridge is what heaven sounds like

[@lenne9442]

Harp!!!

[@robertogilbonaburto6362]

I know, its beautiful

[@KBHURSTHerMenagerie]

Love Harp 🎶

[@aletheiaverite]

she probably thought of patti's messages while singing aww

What messages?

[@aletheiaverite]

Joaquín Pezos on instagram

oh thanks, i have now seen it, how lovely!

[@gabrielaraujo9729]

Quando a versão acustica pisa mais que a original.

[@siakoivogui1347]

Sobbing~

[@ntuthukogege4132]

Ah man ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@mariastella6805]

Adoro questa donna 😍...mi arrivano anche nei sogni le sue songs. Spero di poterla apprezzare così tanto anche in futuro .

[@alliewilson7036]

She. Never. Fails. A power house. Florence is stunning.

[@theoneandmany1990]

everyone bashing the studio version should understand that both of them, live and studio come from the same artist so there is no need to put them down. Live versions don't have the same quality as the studio and they are usually stripped down. Two different things. If it was the same, why hear it.

[@l.j.krumenacker9802]

Love

[@musicstansubscribetomychan9556]

it pisses me off thinking about how underappreciated she is while there are so many talentless 'artists' in the music industry topping the charts all over this shitty world we live 😿

[@amirulhakim9017]

This version should have been the one on the album. Nevertheless High as Hope is beautiful 😭

[@ghofransai9600]

theyre gonna include it in the deluxe edition undoubtedly

[@vanstra]

Back in 2022. Where are the rest of views for this masterpiece?

[@cdko]

Русский перевод:
О, Патриция, ты всегда была моей северной звездой,
И я должна рассказать тебе что-то:
Я всё ещё боюсь темноты.
Ты взяла меня за руку;
И выращивая цветы,
Понимаешь ли ты,
С каждым посаженным тобой семечком, ты делаешь этот холодный мир прекрасным.
Она сказала мне, что все двери открыты верующим.
Я верю ей, я верю ей, я верю ей.
Она сказала, что все пути открыты для тех, кто верит.
Я верю ей, я верю ей, я верю ей.
О, Патриция, ты всегда была моей северной звездой. [х2]
Ты настоящий мужчина и делаешь всё, что в твоих силах.
Берёшь лишь столько, сколько можешь взять двумя руками.
С твоим большим сердцом, ты приклоняешься Богу свыше.
Но выходит ли это у тебя, милый?
Ты чувствуешь себя любимым?
Ты чувствуешь, что тебя любят?
О, Патриция, ты всегда была моей северной звездой. [х2]
Пью слишком много кофе и часто думаю о тебе,
В городе, где реальность давно позабыта.
Ты боишься? Я в ужасе.
Но ты напомнила мне, что так прекрасно любить это.
Так прекрасно любить это. [х3]
Это так потрясающе.
Так прекрасно любить это. [х8]
Это так потрясающе.
Зе энд, с вас пять баксов.
А если серьёзно, хочу немного рассказать о свох чувствах:
Это просто невероятно. Каждая песня Флоренции просто уносит меня в другой мир, где я забываю о реальности и могу сосредоточиться на своих мыслях. Сейчас, во времена стрёмной попсы, эта замечательная женщина является глотком свежего воздуха, чего-то оригинального, особенного. Лишь немногим артистам удаётся вызывать такие чувства, но, что удивительно, почти каждая её песня, что мне довелось послушать, заняла особое место в моём сердце и стала частью истории, с которой однажды я бы хотела поделиться, написав книгу.
Флоренция, я знаю, что вы не прочтёте это сообщение, но прошу, всегда будьте собой и продолжайте творить эти прекрасные произведения. Вы меня вдохновляете, спасибо.

[@fernandoelbrat]

Please do 100 years
