Long time no see you guys, I’ve been away i know i know but I’ve been cooking up something i think you might like

Outside of this I’ve kinda been off of social media like posting and stuff mostly because i still don’t understand the internet and all that and with crippling anxiety when it comes to posting myself and my music it kinda just kills the mood

Scoring Florence + The Machine’s Albums Out of 100

Florence Welch’s discography is a wild journey of emotion, grandeur, and vulnerability. Here’s how I would score each album out of 100:

Lungs (2009) – 95/100 Florence + The Machine's debut album that started it all. Lungs is a raw and powerful album that shows the versatility of Florence Welch's voice and songwriting talents. The music has a chaotic energy because Florence was still discovering her voice. She technically wrote the album over five years. Plus, she was working with multiple songwriting partners and producers. The mystical undertones, gothic lyrics, and big drums make this album a storm. Some of my favorite songs were co-written and produced with Florence + The Machine co-founder Isabella Summers, including "Dog Days Are Over" and "Cosmic Love." Standouts: "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)," "Cosmic Love", and "Between Two Lungs"

Ceremonials (2011) – 97/100 This album is a true masterpiece because it's "a wall of sound," to quote Florence Welch. Florence leaned fully into the baroque. She and her collaborators (Paul Epworth, Isabella Summers, Francis White, James Ford, etc) created an otherworldly atmosphere with drums & percussion, harps, pianos, guitars, bells, bass, synth, and layers of Florence singing backup vocals. Ceremonials explores themes of water, death, and rebirth. Every elegant song feels like a grand cathedral of sound. Standouts: "Shake It Out," "Breaking Down," and "Only If For a Night"

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful (2015) – 92/100 Florence reined in some of the grandiosity for a more rock-influenced sound. It's still lush, but the instrumentation focuses on guitars and horns. Florence faces her demons in this album and comes out better on the other side. I love the emotional complexity of this album, but a couple of tracks feel slightly more subdued than expected. This was the last album where Isabella Summers co-wrote or produced any Florence + The Machine songs. She and Florence co-wrote three songs, including one of my favorites, "Delilah." Standouts: "What Kind of Man," "Ship to Wreck," and "Delilah"

High as Hope (2018) – 93/100 This album is more stripped-back and personal than her previous ones. Florence Welch co-produced and wrote the whole album by herself. The vulnerability of High as Hope is palpable throughout the songs. While some might miss the massive production of earlier albums, the intimacy of High as Hope is its strength. All the songs feel delicate and confessional. Standouts: "Hunger," "Sky Full of Song," and "Big God"

Dance Fever (2022) – 99/100 This is my favorite Florence + The Machine album. Dance Fever blends the theatricality of Ceremonials with the emotional introspection of High as Hope. I love how Florence wrote an album that combines the confessional aspects of High as Hope and How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful with the horror movies she watched during the pandemic to produce some genuinely epic lyrics. The instrumentals of every song make you want to dance, even if the lyrics make you want to cry. Florence's vocals are at the next level, showing how much she has grown since Lungs. Standouts: "King," "Free," and "Dream Girl Evil"

Lyrics:

Close your eyes, act surprised, it took its time

I know it's not your birthday

Oh, my God, I don't believe, how can it be

That you're alive at the same time as me?

Why? Why?

Would I ever know life without you?

I would fade into the blue

You keep the lights on for me

You help me to believe

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

You changed something inside me

I'm not who I used to be

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

Well, the truth is that this world can be so sour

But you make it so sweet

I was tryna make myself so tough

And you made me so weak

Why? Why?

Would I ever know life without you?

I would fade into the blue

You keep the lights on for me

You help me to believe

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

You changed something inside me

I'm not who I used to be

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

Nothing's ever felt this right

I look at you and I feel alive

You save me every time

You keep the lights on for me

You help me to believe

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

You keep the lights on for me

You help me to believe

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

You changed something inside me

I'm not who I used to be

Loving you, loving you is easy

Loving you, loving you is easy

Sister Ghost Band!!

Storytime!!

So I went to this gig recently for Sister Ghost and got inspired and started sketching them while they were performing cause they looked cool. At the time I only had a sketchbook and like an hour to draw so it was super rushed and ugly ngl (was also drawing in the dark so I didn't realise it was bad until the lights came back on lol 😅). Thought that would be the end of it but another gig goer came up to me and said they'd seen me doodling and asked if they could see it. I thought "sure, its not that good but it couldn't hurt to show one person right?? 🤷‍♀️😂". Proceed to a small group of gig goers PLUS the band and their team surrounding my shit little drawing and the band even asked for a copy of it 💀🤯😳💓

While I was very embarrassed, it was sweet how uplifting and chill everyone was and even though I didn't like my art at the time I still felt proud of it and myself for choosing to develop to the point I could things like that and do it somewhat legibly. I decided that I would do a better version so here's the digital copy of my interpretation of Sister Ghost's Sionainn and Alice looking sick as hell!! 🙌🙌✨️

If you like rock or goth pop, please check them out they have just released an album recently called Beyond the Water and the cover art is sooooo pretty fr fr 😖🤌

TOAL - Unreal World

Gave this one a listen, wanted to hear something new.

TOAL's Ritus Ex Silenti was okay. Bit average, grandiose sound. Nice vocals :D Almost reminds of 90's sound I heard on some video games :D

Rest of their material sure sounded different. Grandiose sound, but bit more danceable.

Oh I beg you

Can I follow

Oh I ask you

Why not always

Be the ocean

Where unravel

Be my only,

Be the water where I'm wading

You're my river running high

Run deep run wild

I, I follow

I follow you deep sea baby

I follow you

I, I follow you

I follow you dark boom honey

I follow you

He's a message

I'm the runner

He's the rebel

I'm the daughter

Waiting to follow you

You're my river running high,

Run deep run wild

I, I follow

I follow you deep sea baby

I follow you

I, I follow you

I follow you dark boom honey

I follow you

You're my river running high,

Run deep run wild

I, I follow

I follow you deep sea baby

I follow you

I, I follow you

I follow you dark boom honey

I follow you

Oh, I follow you

I follow you deep sea baby

I follow you

Oh I follow

I follow you dark boom honey

I follow you
