absolutely right!!!!and once while speaking about it.... ...someone, obviously tone deaf, told me that Miley Cyrus has a wider vocal range that Florence. SMH.
IMO this is the best version of this song, and probably the best live performance I have seen of any Florence anywhere. Simple accompaniment, unrestricted vocals. Florence fans should bookmark this IMMEDIATELY :)
@@tylerjames251 I´am always torn between this, and their performance on KEXP, esp. cosmic love and drumming song. But nonetheless, these 3 songs in particular are absolutely mindboggling.
This is what I love about Florence. She comes across as such a quiet, delicate person and you think: She can't seriously be that good a singer if she is this quiet. Then she proves you wrong and just blows you away with this perfect, godlike voice that just shocks you into silence the first time you hear her. Then, you play it again and again; never once getting sick of her gorgeous voice. She is pone of those people who possesses true, raw talent inside of such a normal body. Amazing, really.
I have never heard a more wonderful voice. There are many singers with good voices, but she is the top. Goosebumps and tears every time when I listen to her sing.
"What the water gave me" is still my "Heart Song". No song ever topped this for me and this version is clearly the most stunning and breathtaking of all. The pure good feeling that it brings to me is just indescribable. I enjoy this Song nearly every day, 'cause it makes me so thoughtful and sad.. but also very intense happy! I'm so glad that this band exist.
**sings such a high, beautiful note, it could have caused the San Andreas fault** ... **five seconds later, in quiet little voice** "Thank you" LOL, too funny! & love ya and your amazing music, Florence! :)
thechosen San Andreas is a fault line to the east of California. It causes most of the seismic activity in the area. Florence and the machine could definitely stir it up
Time it took us To where the water was That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us Oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow And oh, poor Atlas The world’s a beast of a burden You’ve been holding up a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That’s what the water gave us So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow ‘Cause they took your loved ones But returned them in exchange for you But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You couldn't have it any other way ‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress And a bargain must be made But oh, my love, don’t forget me When I let the water take me So lay me down Let the only sound Be the over flow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow
I am 39 yrs old and have a huge and ecletic music collection but a more beautiful voice than that of Florence Welch I have yet to hear, every song sung with so much raw emotion
Truly amazing. I wonder if SiriusXM has ANY idea of the Talent & Beauty that graced their studios that day. I have Sirius in my car and their Spectrum channel plays 'Shake It Out' but none of her other songs as far as I can tell. Florence is golden. No autotune, no beat-box, just pure, unalloyed talent. Thank you Florence & The Machine!
Great recording of a great artist who's obviously in "the zone." Love the intimate video and the audio mix really shows off Flo's phenomenal dynamic range. I could listen to her voice all day, every day!
Funny is that she seems so secure while sings, yet she goes all like "oh, I'm so shy, don't keep looking at me.." when stops singing.. She's so strong and fragile at the same time.. :3
God I love her so much. She is so amazing, her voice always gives me chills. People have no idea what their missing out on if they don't listen to her.
lol it's awesome how she says "thank you" in such a soft voice after a very strong one
Best female vocalist of our time, by a landslide. Poetess. Performer. No contest. Blows me away.
absolutely right!!!!and once while speaking about it....
...someone, obviously tone deaf, told me that Miley Cyrus has a wider vocal range that Florence.
SMH.
Best comment right here
Not a single dislike!!!! AGREED
so true
1000 percent never heard anyone like her. She gives instant chills
Approaches the microphone, sings with powerful voice, says thank you like a shy little girl
I can't even believe how pure and real her voice is. How many people sound THIS good acoustic... Damn Flo.
IMO this is the best version of this song, and probably the best live performance I have seen of any Florence anywhere. Simple accompaniment, unrestricted vocals. Florence fans should bookmark this IMMEDIATELY :)
Agree 100% Her best live vocals period

her voice is one the most beautiful things in this world...
She's got such and innocent speaking voice but it's like the heavens have been let out when she sings
Well said. Totally agree👍😂
so powerful

beautifully put :')
one of the best voices of our time right now
4:46 "Thank you?" It is amazing how her bold and powerful singing voice turns into such a shy and gentle speaking voice.
I was about to comment just that.
from the ones i watched, this is the most amazing perfomance of this song.
The resonance of her voice is out of this world.
wow the way she "plays" with her voice is unbelievable!!she doesn't even miss a note!wow.just WOW!
I have never heard a more wonderful voice. There are many singers with good voices, but she is the top. Goosebumps and tears every time when I listen to her sing.
4:21 TEARS. So much power and soul. not even close to screaming
alt-j ftw
Ms. Lady Florence & the Incredible Machine are Absolutely AMAZING!!! BRAVO!"😎👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
"What the water gave me" is still my "Heart Song".

im glad too 😍
This is amazing, her voice is liquid platinum.
**sings such a high, beautiful note, it could have caused the San Andreas fault**

LOL, too funny! & love ya and your amazing music, Florence! :)
San Andreas? GTA?

Her best live performance without question. It's perfect. She rarely sings it like this live - understandably.
Still the best live performance I’ve seen in my life for no warm up just perfect.
That "thank you" at the end makes me laugh and smile every time...this is music, absolutely captivating, thank you mrs for such a great voice.
Time it took us
To where the water was
That’s what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don’t forsake me
Take what the water gave me
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
And oh, poor Atlas
The world’s a beast of a burden
You’ve been holding up a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That’s what the water gave us
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
‘Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them in exchange for you
But would you have it any other way?
Would you have it any other way?
You couldn't have it any other way
‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress
And a bargain must be made
But oh, my love, don’t forget me
When I let the water take me
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the over flow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones
Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
My God, her voice is utterly flawless.
I can't understand why she's so amazing!
Imagine her standing on roof of high building and singing like that.
Her voice is like purest pearl.
She actually did do that haha
the only artists that doesnt need autotune. flawless :)
so beautiful. and that thank you in the end omfg
I don't know if it makes sense or no, but, hell... right now, in my actual spiritual condition, I feel like this song can make a stone cry...
all the talking about how old or young she looks.. seriously?
she's an angel. timeless and beautiful:) nuff said!
I like how ur voice is so soft but ur singing voice is more powerful than a bloom of thunder!!!!!!!
I am 39 yrs old and have a huge and ecletic music collection but a more beautiful voice than that of Florence Welch I have yet to hear, every song sung with so much raw emotion
the best and beauty woman over the world. i love her voice and her attitude.
Such a beautiful melody that rocks at the end. My fave from Florence and The Machine
Incredible talent
That is magical, just as the flowing water is

Her voice is so perfect!

Almost can't handle this because its so mind blowing.
I feel like i'm out of this world and went to heaven when I listen to her, what a voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She's got so much soul that it pours out and fills the listener too
Her voice...divine... chills... Its maybe selfish but I ate every single note. Carried me away. And she's humble too. An amazing woman!
she is absolutely wonderful.
I really love Florence Welch, her voice is so perfect. When i see this video i feel something rare in me.
Truly amazing.
I wonder if SiriusXM has ANY idea of the Talent & Beauty that graced their studios that day. I have Sirius in my car and their Spectrum channel plays 'Shake It Out' but none of her other songs as far as I can tell.
Florence is golden. No autotune, no beat-box, just pure, unalloyed talent. Thank you Florence & The Machine!
This is just perfect; this band is soooo good in live. And her voice is so strong and fragile at the same time.
I think I love this better then the original... She's so great!!
You ever have a song go straight through your soul to the core of your being? That's what Florence Welch's voice does everytime she sings.
This is my all time fave performance of this song. So incredibly powerful and the acoustics are spot on.
What a great voice she has. I love her songs so much.
She sounds so quiet and shy when she speaks and then when she sings, her voice is so strong and amazing
wearing headphones and hearing that "thank you" at the end. It's like she whispered it in my ear!
I LOVE HER SOOO MUCH!!!
Such a voice 👌 🌟 star notes 🎵🙏🏻
Awwww that ending man she just such a fragile strong hearted women i love her deeply
Ur right cornelius. Pure brilliance. I listen to this every day
This song is just incredible.
Her voice is amazing and she sounds just like it alive!
Still gives me chills
Ohmygod what a goddess. She's so perfect, I love the acoustic.
this voice...crushing my soul...and only tears be left
Wen she starts belting it out at 3.35 or so, I get goosebumps all over, unreal, wat a woman
Her voice knows no boundaries.
Sings to angels ❤️
Great recording of a great artist who's obviously in "the zone." Love the intimate video and the audio mix really shows off Flo's phenomenal dynamic range. I could listen to her voice all day, every day!
she is amazing, I'm in love with her voice
amazing voice and singing and then at the end, a very quiet and sweet "thank you" I love Flo!
I sit back and wish to hear this song a thousand times...I can never be full of it, wow, so wonderful!
That is just about the most incredible performance I have ever seen. What a voice!
Funny is that she seems so secure while sings, yet she goes all like "oh, I'm so shy, don't keep looking at me.." when stops singing.. She's so strong and fragile at the same time.. :3
this literally gave me goosebumps as i listened its so amazing
You don't find artist that sound live like that anymore.

It was so cute how she said thank you.
Love her.

That hurricane voice and then a little, tiny "thank you, with a smile" at the end. :):):)
She sets the fire on my heart, on my skin... I absolutely love her!!
