Florence, the Machine - Free lyrics
[Florence, the Machine - Free lyrics]
Sometimes I wonder
If I should be medicated
If I would feel better
Just lightly sedated
The feeling comes so fast
And I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm
Trying not to show it
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spit's me out
Picks me up, it puts me down
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
"You're too sensitive" they said
I said, "Okay, but let's discuss
This at the hospital"
(As it)
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
Picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spit's me out
It picks me up, puts me down
But I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing, I am free
I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face
Of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?
Oh, like Christ up on a cross
Who died for us, who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there is nothing else
That I know how to do
But to open up my arms
And give it all to you
'Cause I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
If I should be medicated
If I would feel better
Just lightly sedated
The feeling comes so fast
And I cannot control it
I'm on fire, but I'm
Trying not to show it
As it picks me up, puts me down
It picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
It picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spit's me out
Picks me up, it puts me down
I'm always running from something
I push it back, but it keeps on coming
And being clever never got me very far
Because it's all in my head
"You're too sensitive" they said
I said, "Okay, but let's discuss
This at the hospital"
(As it)
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, puts me down
Picks me up, it puts me down
A hundred times a day
Picks me up, puts me down
Chews me up, spit's me out
It picks me up, puts me down
But I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing, I am free
I hear the music, I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face
Of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing?
Oh, like Christ up on a cross
Who died for us, who died for what?
Oh, don't you wanna call it off?
But there is nothing else
That I know how to do
But to open up my arms
And give it all to you
'Cause I hear the music
I feel the beat
And for a moment
When I'm dancing
I am free
I am free
I am free
I am free
About the song Florence, the Machine - Free
The video was filmed in November last year, the Ukrainian production studio Radioaktive film was responsible for the process.
Filming took place in one of the buildings of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, the university canteen, as well as against the background of the building of the capital's crematorium at the Baikove cemetery and at the cemetery itself. The soloist of the group Florence Welch, the famous British actor Bill Nighy, the star of the films "Love Actually" and "Underworld", as well as the dancer Ryan Heffington, came to Kyiv for filming. At the end of the clip, Florence and Bill look at the rows of graves, and then the text appears, which says that this clip of Florence + The Machine is "dedicated to the spirit, creativity and resilience of our brave Ukrainian friends."
"Filmed in Kyiv on November 18, 2021 with Ukrainian filmmakers and artists whose radiant freedom can never be extinguished," the video ends.
Previously, Florence Welch has already supported Ukraine. On Twitter, she posted a message in which she shared a fragment of her clip Heaven is here, filmed in Kyiv. The video was filmed by two dancers from Ukraine, who were approached by the singer.
