I know right... that was so amazing! I mean I have heard singers hold a note pretty long, but the way that she did it was way more impressive.. she has such a strong, and loud, voice.. so for her to hold a note that long, with that kinda volume, and then,at the end, after holding the note super long.. she went up and down with her voice, which takes even more breath, and then, when she was finished, with that note she had just like half a second to take a breath and go right into the chorus.. nothing like it anywhere...
It is both transfixing and a bit scary that she seems like she's actually somewhere else, beyond normal human perception while singing, and then she's terrified or on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she realizes being down on earth and surrounded by human beings. Quite honestly I've never come across any artist like Florence. She's something else.
The thing with Florence, and the reason why I think she's such an unique performance, it's that she truly allows herself to being absolutely vulnerable on stange, like if her mind was in another place, and she's telling what's in that place. Just look at her at 2:06 her whole body shaking, she looks so fraguile and yet so beautiful at the same time because she's just in another place, singing directly from her soul. All the emotions coming throught her body...you can tell that she really FEELS each word of what she sings when she performs.
she's stepping to the sound of the song. She's 100% secure and sure this time around, completely different than her past performance on SNL and that's just because she chose the right song this time, because last time the song didn't fit the stage
I remember first time I saw this live. We were at a buddies house partying. Saturday Night Live just happened to be on, we weren't really watching. This performance came on. I remember us all being blown away by it. Like, no one said anything. We just stood there with our jaws wide open...
We saw her perform last night in Barclays center in Brooklyn NY and Florence and the Machine and had the entire city on a levitated euphoric frenzy state!!! She has that aura about her to soulfully touch your soul
I was there, too! I don't know what happened that night, it was all a blur. I swear she transports us into what ever realm she goes into when she sings. It's as if she slips us Molly or something, but with her voice. She's either incredible, satanic, or both and I'm alright with whatever witchery she does to me. Haha
3:55 that moment when the teacher picks on you to answer the question but you don't know the answer and pray to the gods that he lets you go but ends up pestering you
Florence is such an incredible singer, i just can't get over her voice. The way she sings and holds that magnificent note in this song, its amazing. This is my favourite.
Everything about this woman screams perfect. Her live performances are my absolute favourite! Just look at how much of herself she puts into her music. She is spectacular.
Chills, she give chills with her amazing voice. Florence Welch is such an amzing singer and Florence + Machin is one of the most amazing band in the world.
The opening is reminiscent of Just Like a Prayer by Madonna. I found Florence through the SNL cosmic love episode, and this is still my favorite one ❤️❤️❤️ You are the hole in my head You are the space in my bed You are the silence in between What I thought and what I said You are the night-time fear You are the morning when it's clear When it's over you're the start You're my head, you're my heart No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light (no light) Tell me what you want me to say And through the crowd I was crying out and In your place there were a thousand other faces I was disappearing in plain sight Heaven help me I need to make it right You want a revelation You want to get right But it's a conversation I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to, to make you stay No light, no light (no light) Tell me what you want me to say Would you leave me If I told you what I've done? And would you leave me If I told you what I've become? 'Cause it's so easy To sing it to a crowd But it's so hard, my love To say it to you out loud No light, no light in your bright blue eyes I never knew daylight could be so violent A revelation in the light of day You can't choose what stays and what fades away And I'd do anything to make you stay No light, no light (no light) Tell me what you want me to say You want a revelation You want to get right But it's a conversation I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution You want a revelation You want a revelation You want to get right But, it's a conversation I just can't have tonight You want a revelation Some kind of resolution Tell me what you want me to say
man the way she holds a note for what???? 30 seconds.... reminds me when she came to Brazil and sang in a festival like up and down jumping and holding real high notes that everybody stopped and just looked at her in awe. like she was an alien. what she does and the power of her voice live is unbelievable
.....................chills....... just... wow, wow. it's hard to sing live on snl, a lot of artists end up showing how their voice really sounds and most of them aren't that good-- but florence's voice was never really tweaked to begin with-- this is just how she is, talented and amazing-- ugh keep going florence!!
This is my all time favorite song of hers, I loved this song when I was little I think I first heard it when I was about 6 or 7 and I just feel in love with it
I want this version available for download cause frankly... it's THE BEST VERSION in existence. I've listened to this a million times and pretty much every other version and this is by FAR THE BEST. On a good system the bass behind her on the chorus is AMAZING!!!!!!!
i love how everyone is shocked and is like how did she hit that note so long when in fact in another live concert she hit the same note in the same song for 28 seconds!! this 16 seconds one must be kids play for her just keeping in on the safe side. she is not human
The first time I saw this it just blew me away. She is just amazing. A sweet, soft beautiful lilt, and then soaring power, and the lyrics? "I never knew daylight could be so violent." Wow. It doesn't hurt that she is stunningly beautiful to boot.
I discovered this song about December 2012. I remember the time because the first Hobbit movie just came out. Since then, I come to this video every now and then and am completely blown away by Florence's voice and how beautifully the whole band makes this performance. I wish I can see Florence + The Machine live some day!
+Jackson Catlett It's not the length of the note that I find impressive, its the depth of it... the way she shutters with the beat of the drum in the middle of it... such power and control she has!
Zence, I gotta tell you, your interpretation is dead on, you know I am new to Florence, heard one of songs "7 devils" on Revenge, and just fell in love with her, but there is a darkness around this, you know I never felt that before, it's kind of eerie, but I like how she sings. That note at the end wow.
That extended note nearly gave me a heart attack, so beautiful.
+fabian anthony same
Which one? She's got them all.
Bruhhhh. Yes. My heart almost gave out
YEEEEESSSSS
I know right... that was so amazing! I mean I have heard singers hold a note pretty long, but the way that she did it was way more impressive.. she has such a strong, and loud, voice.. so for her to hold a note that long, with that kinda volume, and then,at the end, after holding the note super long.. she went up and down with her voice, which takes even more breath, and then, when she was finished, with that note she had just like half a second to take a breath and go right into the chorus.. nothing like it anywhere...
Her voice is outta this world..
E Taing Honestly, how on earth is she capable of singing like that?
It is both transfixing and a bit scary that she seems like she's actually somewhere else, beyond normal human perception while singing, and then she's terrified or on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she realizes being down on earth and surrounded by human beings. Quite honestly I've never come across any artist like Florence. She's something else.
+zencefillikurabiye Hail Satan!
+zencefillikurabiye That's so deep... Even Adele can't roll in it. xD
.i noticed something like that on sia also .they seem like the forget everything around them
Reiner Pineda oh wow lol
zencefillikurabiye check out Aurora ! She's very much like Florence :) love them both ❤️
Still a stunning look from her. That bridge note still blows me away.
3.16 - 3.30
OMFG, She´s a monster
INCREDIBLE
QUEEN OF VOICE
+Lot Deleste it's even harder when you're pushing air out at the same time
+Jessik Lopez Queen of Peace?? No? Just me? Maybe my dad?
2:13 why yes I play drums and guitar in the same song.
Bass guitar, to be more accurate
Makes sense it's both the rhythm section
The thing with Florence, and the reason why I think she's such an unique performance, it's that she truly allows herself to being absolutely vulnerable on stange, like if her mind was in another place, and she's telling what's in that place. Just look at her at 2:06 her whole body shaking, she looks so fraguile and yet so beautiful at the same time because she's just in another place, singing directly from her soul. All the emotions coming throught her body...you can tell that she really FEELS each word of what she sings when she performs.
Yes! In interviews and such she even says she is transported to a whole different universe when she gets on stage
PalmurcioWorld yes she’s a goddess
"allows herself to being absolutely vulnerable on stange"
LMAO... what the fuck does that even mean?
she's stepping to the sound of the song. She's 100% secure and sure this time around, completely different than her past performance on SNL and that's just because she chose the right song this time, because last time the song didn't fit the stage
@3:15
I remember first time I saw this live. We were at a buddies house partying. Saturday Night Live just happened to be on, we weren't really watching. This performance came on. I remember us all being blown away by it. Like, no one said anything. We just stood there with our jaws wide open...
Seeing her perform elevates you to a new level. She’s a sorceress, an enchanter, a brilliant talent. Absorb her infinite energy my friends
Holy fuck she is a beast! What a voice!
I'd like to give a shoutout to the backup singers who are singing all those high harmonies and killing it. Sounds just like the record!
Better than the record!
i'm watching this almost past 10 years. It still sounds fucking amazing
We saw her perform last night in Barclays center in Brooklyn NY and Florence and the Machine and had the entire city on a levitated euphoric frenzy state!!! She has that aura about her to soulfully touch your soul
I was there, too!
I don't know what happened that night, it was all a blur. I swear she transports us into what ever realm she goes into when she sings. It's as if she slips us Molly or something, but with her voice. She's either incredible, satanic, or both and I'm alright with whatever witchery she does to me. Haha
No kidding, I got goosebumps throughout the whole song. Voice of an angel.
This song just kills, my fave off the whole album
specialj99 what's the name of the album?
Bsgsh Hshdb Ceremonials
How does she hold her breath for so long on that long note???
Practice
I'm not a singer but I can do it , I learned it from listening to her live performances.
Witchcraft.
A lot of practice and breathing techniques
Kim Pullman she have aero-pores in all her body so she can breathe while she's singing
Best vocals in the history of SNL!! And that says a lot..
She's really good live. I'd say possibly better than when it's recorded.
I like her better live, but that's just me.
100% agree! She is better live.
yess
God damn, I felt that in my bones! Fucking beautiful!
Florence Welch's voice recorded is amazing, but her voice live, like OMG its breathe taking, its so free, no words can describe it.
I've never seen ANY live singer sing so beautifully for such a long time at 3:16 not even Whitney or Mariah HOW DOES SHE DO IT ......
Practice
YA SHE'S TOTALLY A HIGH QUALITY MUSICIANS
Maybe stevie nicks...
Kim Pullman hhjh
Björk - All is full of Love live
first video that comes up
I came here to hear her hit that looooooooooooooong note ... AND SHE DID IT :O But I'm not surprised :D
not gonna lie... brought me to tears. flawless
Dj White
3:10-3:30
3:55 that moment when the teacher picks on you to answer the question but you don't know the answer and pray to the gods that he lets you go but ends up pestering you
I cracked up a bit
fridayrulesman 😂😂😂
fridayrulesman ikr? He's the teacher. He knows the answer.
Why is he asking when he already knows?
_Tell me what you want me to say!_ indeed
Best I've ever heard her do that song!! Her vocal range and expressiveness are Stunning!!
the Prince Albert Hall is quite breathtaking too...!
3.16 - 3.30 like seriously??!
darn youre soo freaking awesomely insanely good!!
Like for real I love her and her voice so much. She must be able to hold her breath for like ten minutes. Just amazing.
When Florence sings, I have to remind myself to breathe.
She's incredible! Omg when she hits that high note and rides it my body shudders the band is amazing that harp is so beautiful!
I feel like she is sucking the air out of my lungs when she hits that note at 3:16 .
Florence and the Machine creates music that never ages. It's timeless
The vocals and harp combo from 2:49 are exquisite!
Andrew Wales Agreed!
T R U E
SHE NEEDS TO COLLABORATE WITH HOZIER. Hozier and her both have the same vibes going on. SHE IS A LITERAL GODDESS. ah.
i totally agree. before hozier got big i used to tell people he was the male version of florence haha
I thought the exact same thing when I first hear Hozier. That would be phenomenal.
dolores haze christ, I wanna hug you. BEST COMMENT EVER!
They are Hades and Persephone walking among us
My two favourite artists? Singing together? YES
Best Florence song! That high note at 3:16....fn WOW!!! She's amazing!!!!
APPLAUSE FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ISA IN THE BACK!
And Rob, who is hot af!
I pray she somehow is protecting her vocal cords...! What magnificent talent!!! absolutely stunning start to finish!!
She is just a goddess
Love the name and picture ❤️🙌🏻
Wow.... I remember seeing performance on SNL and asked my daughter who she was (again) because I was wowed!
Yeah it seemed to come out of nowhere, and then I was like WOOOOW.

Your Highness, we are not worthy!!!♡♡♡
Florence is such an incredible singer, i just can't get over her voice. The way she sings and holds that magnificent note in this song, its amazing. This is my favourite.
Everything about this woman screams perfect. Her live performances are my absolute favourite! Just look at how much of herself she puts into her music. She is spectacular.
She is a joy to listen to and thrilling to watch. She has beauty, talent and gives all her heart behind every song. What more could anyone ask for?
love the power of her voice
What kind of man brought me here again, and it NEVER ceases to amaze!
Flo you are GOREOUS!

Lol. What kind of man is the new single babe
Just as amazing live... she never disappoints!
I just absolutely love her dress!
it looks really good on her, and it compliments her red hair.
This performance was the first time I heard of them. I was blown away!
Same, like getting sucker punched in the shower. Never saw it coming.
she's a goddess
FLORENCE = BOSS
I get chills.
This was the first song of hers I heard. I haven't stopped listening since. Love Florence

OMG! This is live! Amazing! She is extremely gifted💕
Chills, she give chills with her amazing voice. Florence Welch is such an amzing singer and Florence + Machin is one of the most amazing band in the world.
Did anyone else try to hold their breath as long as florence during 3:16 - 3:26? haha
yes
Omg I barely made it
i love her
holy mother that moment in 3:16 !!! CHILLS, TEARS & MADNESS
The opening is reminiscent of Just Like a Prayer by Madonna. I found Florence through the SNL cosmic love episode, and this is still my favorite one ❤️❤️❤️
You are the hole in my head
You are the space in my bed
You are the silence in between
What I thought and what I said
You are the night-time fear
You are the morning when it's clear
When it's over you're the start
You're my head, you're my heart
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light (no light)
Tell me what you want me to say
And through the crowd I was crying out and
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me I need to make it right
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to, to make you stay
No light, no light (no light)
Tell me what you want me to say
Would you leave me
If I told you what I've done?
And would you leave me
If I told you what I've become?
'Cause it's so easy
To sing it to a crowd
But it's so hard, my love
To say it to you out loud
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'd do anything to make you stay
No light, no light (no light)
Tell me what you want me to say
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
You want a revelation
You want to get right
But, it's a conversation
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation
Some kind of resolution
Tell me what you want me to say
a melhor performance desse hino, aqui ela foi extremamente profunda e artística
Out of every pop stars league
man the way she holds a note for what???? 30 seconds.... reminds me when she came to Brazil and sang in a festival like up and down jumping and holding real high notes that everybody stopped and just looked at her in awe. like she was an alien. what she does and the power of her voice live is unbelievable
amazing singer love this group and i listen to metal and industral music
.....................chills....... just... wow, wow.
it's hard to sing live on snl, a lot of artists end up showing how their voice really sounds and most of them aren't that good-- but florence's voice was never really tweaked to begin with-- this is just how she is, talented and amazing-- ugh keep going florence!!
She seems a little nervous, love Florence Welch.. that voice gorgeous
como alguém que canta assim perdeu um grammy pra Taylor Swift, a humanidade as vezes comete uns erros
Concordo
Ela e a Taylor são tipo best
+Matt Machine a questão não é amizade, é voz mesmo '-'
+shwkry martissn Verdade :( Flo canta como Deus!
+Matt Machine sim :')
Power with control. Superb.
Best SNL Performance Ever
Maravilhosa ❤
God, that voice could split ⛰ mountains. Sheer power!
This is my all time favorite song of hers, I loved this song when I was little I think I first heard it when I was about 6 or 7 and I just feel in love with it
This woman has created something very special
Omg I just started my Florence live performance journey and I'm so happy
This is my second favorite song of hers the lyrics are astounding
Mande Gianfala Whats your favourite?
god...she sends chills through me when she hits that long note!!! I so love her!!
No entiendo por qué tanta perfección y talento
The way that she brings her vibrato in and then takes it out on that long note is masterful.
THIS is music!!
Omg she looks like a goddes 😍😍 and the way she moves with the stage like she had control 👀A REAL LIVING GODDES 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️
Dang that's the best howl I've ever seen!!
I want this version available for download cause frankly... it's THE BEST VERSION in existence. I've listened to this a million times and pretty much every other version and this is by FAR THE BEST. On a good system the bass behind her on the chorus is AMAZING!!!!!!!
3:15-3:30...epic!!
Love it
Her voice is so powerful it gives me goosebumps
brings me to tears....OFTEN! =/ =)
Haunting. This has to be one of my favourite performances of this song that she's done...speechless.
i love how everyone is shocked and is like how did she hit that note so long when in fact in another live concert she hit the same note in the same song for 28 seconds!! this 16 seconds one must be kids play for her just keeping in on the safe side. she is not human
Voice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
3:16-3:29 SHE'S SO AMAZING!!
Florence's voice is so over the top its like she has to tone it down not to take over the music and she still does anyway , not many that can do that
Florence is the powerful energy that moves the machine.
Absolutely incredible. Love you Florence + Machine.
unbelievable how amazing this is
The first time I saw this it just blew me away. She is just amazing. A sweet, soft beautiful lilt, and then soaring power, and the lyrics? "I never knew daylight could be so violent." Wow. It doesn't hurt that she is stunningly beautiful to boot.
Bruxa Suprema 😍👏🏻❤️💕🇧🇷
I discovered this song about December 2012. I remember the time because the first Hobbit movie just came out. Since then, I come to this video every now and then and am completely blown away by Florence's voice and how beautifully the whole band makes this performance. I wish I can see Florence + The Machine live some day!
This note wasn't even impressive considering what Florence can do. She can do 2 times how long that was.... Look up Florence longest note
Jackson Catlett She's stunning and awing isn't she?
+Jackson Catlett It's not the length of the note that I find impressive, its the depth of it... the way she shutters with the beat of the drum in the middle of it... such power and control she has!
+blssfullyapathetic Cause... yeah.... She's Florence Welch XD
Florence blows me away every time I see and hear her. She is out of this world AMAZING!!!
Florence Welch is so underrated, she's Amazing
Her movements and facial expressions while she sings completely hypnotize me!! She sings so beautifully
Zence, I gotta tell you, your interpretation is dead on, you know I am new to Florence, heard one of songs "7 devils" on Revenge, and just fell in love with her, but there is a darkness around this, you know I never felt that before, it's kind of eerie, but I like how she sings. That note at the end wow.
