neonhorn22 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Florence + the Machine is going to be the musical guest on SNL next week. Just an FYI for fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tams Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Am i the only one who thinks Florence looks like Noel Fielding? :)) especially in the video when Noel does Wuthering heights for Comic Relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartroc Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I like the songs individually, but they are all too similar to listen to as an album. After 3 or 4, I've had enough. That's my problem. I think Lungs had higher highs (Rabbit Heart, Cosmic Love) and was better as an album. There are some songs that stand out on Ceremonials after a few listens, but they all have pretty much the same anthemic sound - which I wouldn't have a problem with if there were a few different tracks to balance it out. Lungs was a little awkward in its diversity, but it's an extremely lovable sort of awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I've been listening to "Ceremonials" the bonus edition for days now and I still love the album, but I'll tell you this.....I can't stand Spectrum. Ugh. It makes me my skin crawl. I hate her voice when she sings "say my name." Again...ugh. I skip it every time I hear it. And the last song is kind of boring for a closer. I wish they would've taken out Spectrum and Leave My Body and substituted Bedroom Hymns and Strangeness and Charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I like the new video. It's quite different from the rest - in the sense that it has a story to it. Most of her videos don't and are very similar to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonhorn22 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Florence on SNL tonight. She did Shake It Out first. I didn't like it. She sounded nervous and shaky to me. The background choir was awesome, though. She performed No Light, No Light second and this was better, but she was tending on the sharp edge of the pitch towards most of the song. Yikes......I just don't think she's that good of a live performer. I love her as a studio musician, but they really do edit out that aggressive vibrato she has which makes it much more tolerable to listen to. Her hair was also weird, too. *shrugs* I dunno. I just wasn't impressed. I'm looking forward to the Black Keys next time, though! Coldplay then Florence and now The Black Keys?! I'm gonna crap my pants if Muse or Radiohead is next musical guest after TBK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yikes......I just don't think she's that good of a live performer. I. TV maybe cause she's getting nervous but see her live in concerts and she'll blow your mind. GARANTEE!

dry_pretzels Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 She can be off-tune at times during live performances, unfortunately. :\ But when she does hit those notes, she sounds pretty incredible. For me, her enthusiasm and energy on-stage makes up for a few bum notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abracadabra Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I really like that one! I'm kind of obsessed with Heartlines right now. The acoustic version is very good, although I cannot comprehend that' heartlines on your head' line. :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-chan Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 The acoustic version is very good, although I cannot comprehend that' heartlines on your head' line. :blank: I thought she was saying 'keep following the heartlines on your hand"?!! (which make sense actually...) So it's "head"?, :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I just browsed and it seems to be 'hand' after all. I was convinced it was otherwise. Anyway, it is still a confusing line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not...The heartlines on your hand refers to reading palms where the lines on the hand refers to your life and one reprents your lovelife. That lines here means 'follow your heart, the path has already been drown for you"....pretty clear IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abracadabra Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Okay, I didn't know they were actually called heartlines... Stupid me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayAMessage Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I am new to listening to Florence and the Machines, but after the SNL songs that actually made me stand up and just listen, I have been listening to Lungs and Ceremonial pretty much non-stop, and I have to say, No Light, No Light, Shake it Out and Heartlines are turning into my must lsitens, just amazing how she sounds, how the music sounds, how it washes over me like a tide.

Abracadabra Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 It's 'Florence + the Machine' and 'Ceremonials :bomb: Nevermind, keep listening to Florence, explore, there are better tracks on Ceremonials, although those you mention aren't bad at all.

shred Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Florence + The Machine are coming to Auckland, NZ next May and I'm planning on going. I missed her when she came down last year. Not gonna happen this time round! :D I really liked her on SNL, especially that skit! :laugh3: Is there a clip of it on YouTube or something? Been looking for it and I can't find it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
