It's the song I awarded 11 points. I'm scared. Until now it went RATHER smooth imo. Not here for my fave to not be in the Top 5... https://www.last.fm/user/derOlliM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It became one of my faves and my favourite ballad on the album. Beautiful vocals, really emotional lyrics. Just wow!" - "This song just grew on me. Shook!!!" - "I like the chorus and how high she sings it. It gives it a diffrent feel than the rest of the album" - " I love this song, how simple it seems and how slowly builds. It sounds like machination, nightlife, a walk in the woods right before the sun goes out, like making love before dawn, like spending the night in the bathtub. It's terrific and terrifying." - "My absolute favourite! I love everything about it and when I first heard it I wanted to sound the whole album like this song. There are soooo many memories attached to that song and it makes me feel so nostalgic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 16,996 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 #6 - VARIOUS STORMS & SAINTS Points: 110 Most points: 10, given by @Theodore @tomsches @Dam Ien @milotomi19 Fewest points: 5,5, given by @Bjaf Comments: - "Great atmosphere. I love how Florence’s vocals transcend between delicate, ethereal, and powerful. The backing vocals and harmonies are magical as well. And the long note at the end of the song slays." - "The lyrics are really good in this one. a standout." - "One of the weak songs in the album, most likely because of it's placement. Acts like a stone bridge between two of the best tracks and that turns "Various Storms & Saints" in a not so anticipated song. It will always be either the aftermath of the Queen or the prelude of the Seductress. However, it still hides amazing lyric quality. A stone bridge yest, but one of marble, not granite." - "Just like Long & Lost, this is perfect to me. I still prefer Long and Lost, because it's more chilled" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 16,996 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 #5 - DELILAH Points: 115,5 Most points: 10, given by @lilmonster93 @BBhomemaker @Dam Ien @GoldenPonyboy Fewest points: 6, given by @tomsches Comments: - "When the first songs from this album were teased, I remember that after the release of parts from "How Big How Blue How Beautiful" and the mv for "St. Jude" some people were very cautious when they started the "Delilah"-Audio. Some sighed at the beginning as they feared it were another ballad (which would have been fine either way, but..) but then it turned out to be this energetic song that had emotional-impact while also being very danceable - and if this is what you like from Florence, this was a great gift. I loved it and i still do. It also has my favourite video in the Odyssey. - "Everything just works; the vocals, the lyrics, and the production. I especially love the call and response she does with some of the lines" - "When the beat kicks in, it's everything. epic chorus, great vocals, good lyrics. everything I expect from the band. the last chorus is amazing, love the way the song is produced" - "This song brings back the witch in Florence. It's the summoning of a demon, someone to posses you, to turn your bedroom into a dancefloor, your dancefloor into a bedroom. It's both a happy and a sad song and a breaking point. The point right before an emotional breakdown, the crest of the weave. "Too fast for freedom, sometimes it all falls down, these chains never leave me, i keep dragging them around" is that breaking point, accepting this leads nowhere, and even though there's nothing wrong with being stuck for a while, there's sorrow in feeling lost." - "One of my least favourites" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsches 16,996 Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 #4 - SHIP TO WRECK Points: 117,5 Most points: 11, given by @OliverViennese Fewest points: 7, given by @Theodore Comments: - "This song is like an almost perfect album opener. One of the popiest and catchiest tunes on HBHBHB but also a great introduction to the approach of a more acoustic sound that F+tM did on this record." - "She built this song to slay." - "probably the catchiest song on the album and the most radio friendly. A great opener to the album, high energy and good melody." - " In a way, Ship To Wreck acts as foreshadowing for the whole album. It's soft, tender, like a dark lullaby in an old celtic village. Florence sings, resigned to the outcomes of her own will, leaving behind the question of wether it's completely her fault or not. "I can't help but pull the earth around me, to make my bed" is one of the best lyrics of the album." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
