Heartwarming / Florence + the Machine

Go To

  • "Only If For A Night" has a pretty beautiful lyric. Someone just showed up there when you was totally desperate to give you an advice. And said person is your passed away grandparent. AND said event happened in your dream.
    And I heard your voice
    As clear as day
    And you told me I should concentrate
    It was all so strange
    And so surreal
    That a ghost should be so practical
    Only if for a night
  • This performance of Heartlines. Florence spots someone holding a flower crown in the audience, and has it brought over so she can wear it. Then she has the audience sing the choral parts.
    "Jake, will you grab my crown that's in the crowd? This is important!"
  • Spectrum is definitely the lightest and warmest tone-wise of her collection; it could be about two lovers free to express themselves without restraint.
    Say my name and every color illuminates
    We are shining and we will never be afraid again
  • In May 2016, Florence visited a young fan in hospice care, Karinya Chen, who was too sick to go to the Florence + The Machine concert. She gave a personal performance for her, her family, and her friends. More of a Tear Jerker now, as Karinya unfortunately passed away a few months later, but Florence went out of her way to give her a special afternoon.
  • Whether she addresses herself or someone in similar situation, "Third Eye" brims with W.A.F.F..
    You don't have to be a ghost
    Here amongst the living
    You are flesh and blood
    And you deserve to be loved and you deserve what you are given
    And oh, how much!
  • "The End of Love" is as heartwarming as it is tearjerking, as it saw Florence finally let go of her painful relationship and moves on.
    We were reaching in the dark
    That summer in New York
    And it was so far to fall?
    But it didn't hurt at all
    And let it wash away, wash away
  • During the bridge of this performance of “Shake it Out,” Florence notices a fan in the front row leaning over the barrier with her arms over her face, crying (the fan later revealed in the YouTube comments of the performance that the reason why she was crying was because her best friend, who was also a F+TM fan, had recently taken her own life, and the song resonated with her emotionally). She immediately goes over to her and spends the next minute or so gently stroking her hair and her arms and hugging her, all while singing directly to her, and if you listen very closely right after she sings “Looking for heaven, found the devil in me,” you can hear her softly reassuring the fan “It’s okay.” During an instrumental break, she goes back to talk to her, and appears to kiss her hands.
