For some random reason, when I heard the chorus, I started crying. And I never cry listening to songs, even when I heard Born This Way I didn't become that emotional. I don't know what went over me! Me too as soon as the chant "never let me go" kicks in I teared up :cry: it's overwhelming. It's so vulnerable and heartfelt. The song is about drowning and never letting go, and that reminds me of Titanic. :cry: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Zelda 726 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 It's weird. Never Let Me Go is a beautiful song but I just don't feel attached to it :(. It's really beautiful but it lacks strength, musically I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not anymore but I remember everyone stanning for that song during the 'Lungs' era. I never understood all the appreciation. "Music for gods". I think it happens for every album, tbh. Strangeness And Charm sounds like music for gods IMO. Don't judge me. It's ethereal and extremely soulful, her whimsical singing style, the vocal layering and instrumentals. It's just otherworldly. :legend: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The live version is even more amazing in certain aspects . On 1/21/2012 at 3:25 PM, Lungs said: I'm not a big fan of 'SAC'. Not my taste. I won't. I stan for most Flo stans.

Uplifting? Really? Cosmic Love sounds rather sad to me. It's not happy, but uplifting/empowering? :shrug: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyaKara 2,281 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think we can all agree that every song by Florence + the Machine is for the gods, as judged by this last page. I think Cosmic Love is so overempowering and encompassing about the same passionate love that is described in Drumming Song, except at that point it's even larger that it completely fills her beyond what she can handle. In Drumming Song, the love is just beginning, but in Cosmic Love, it's as large as the universe. Cosmic love has sad lyrics that become very hopeful. I think it works out as a very 'good' song. I think it's more about the search for true love and how it's so great that even the stars and the moon are incomparable to it. I think Cosmic Love deserves all of the stanning that it gets. What has Florence said about the meaning of the song? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Zelda 726 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I agree with Aya, mostly. I do think Drumming Song is a little more about s-xual attraction though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

amber 0 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Is Florence currently on tour for Ceremonials? I know she was opening for U2, but that's over now. I was sort of hoping she'd come around where I live in the southern US. I know she came to STL toward the end of last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
