      I mean, it's on the album. As a bonus track in a limited edition. But I agree, it's treatment should be different. Like, it should be a main single from the standart or the deluxe version. Simply a masterpiece.

    I honestly can't understand how someone who's got a song like this could ever even imagine not including it on the official tracklist. Together with "Pure Feeling", the two bad moves I'd say Florence did.

    This song for me is all about pursuing idealized, romantic love, wandering between religious, morally accepted behavior, and erratic, hedonist path, never accomplishing real satisfaction, sold as "the happily ever after", or even that love worth dying for. And I think this pursue of romantic love, switching up from heaven to hell, is in all of Florence +TM songs.

    • @Nik-ei9st
      @Nik-ei9st Год назад +5

      No wrong answers here! But to me it sounds like she’s describing her career:
      if I am unloved, I have unloved too: if you have unloved her/dislike her and her music, then she unloves you too. The feeling is mutual.
      As far as I could get, wasting my goddamn time: putting effort into things where she was betrayed/it went nowhere. Obvious frustration
      As far as I could get, I’m not far enough yet: shows her determination and unwavering ambition
      Past the spirals and temple…: these are all metaphors or poetic descriptions for events and moments in her life. Some might even be references to previous songs she’s made. Romantic love could even be referenced here
      Ultimately this is what song is about to me in a realistic sense. But ultimately, the realistic reality is boring and I instead made it the the theme song of a character I love who also experiences much unfair frustration and limitless ambition in their life

    • @nataliealves3889
      @nataliealves3889 3 месяца назад +1

      Yes. I think the music is about romantic love and about her path as a person. For me personally, it's more about the second one.

    In the celestial vaults
    I drew bedraggled breaths
    Because I am unloved
    I went as far as I could get
    In the cedars like sparks
    Wasting my goddamn time
    Past the museum of death
    And the mad man yelling answers
    I sail on new beginnings
    And psychics taking chances
    In the cedars like sparks
    Wasting my goddamn time
    As far as I could get
    I went as far as I could get
    In the cedars like sparks
    Wasting my goddamn time
    Past the spires and the temple
    Looking like a Disney castle
    As far as I could get
    Past the girls late for rehearsal
    Oh, a pirate on the left
    And Jesus on the right
    And the Pacific sweeps through
    Like a bird in flight
    'Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
    'Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
    As far as I could get
    I went as far as I could get
    I went as far as I could get
    I went as far as I could get
    Past the city and the cement
    The cemetery standing still
    Past the mountain and the monument
    The houses and the hills
    Past the signs and the sirens
    The sinners and the saints
    I went as far as I could get...
    Past the hallowed and the horror
    The humbled and agreed
    I went as far as I could get
    'Cause if I am unloved, I have unloved too
    As far as I could get
    As far as I could get
    As far as I could get
    And I'm not far enough yet
    I went as far as I could get
    I went as far as I could get

    What’s remarkable about Florence + the Machine is that they have an amazing ability to make you feel emotion unlike any other. Humans have this impossible task of needing to explain how they feel to avoid isolation and someone actually understanding you. Yet, in her voice, in the music, in all of it, you FEEL it. You KNOW it.

    I feel like she did a perfect job with this song. She's never cursed in any of her songs as far as I've noticed but since this was a special song for her vinyl album I can just imagine she wanted to have that type of old, jazz type feeling in the song
