This song sounds like that:' let me touch you slowly, give you all you ask, as i kiss you softly there are part your mouth, you only one to show you, what true love is about. Please don't go, say you stay, together, here each other we found love. Tender is the moment, magic is the night, easy to surrender the feeling i can't figt.
My InterpretationAfter listening to this song for the hundredth time, I think I have formed my opinion on what this song is about. It's obvious from Flo's other songs that she has battled depression. Her grandmother committed suicide. Perhaps Flo was going through a particularly dark time, contemplating suicide, self harming ('My body was bruised and was set alight). In this dark time, her grandmother came to her, in a dream or in her imagination, to help her through it, convincing her not to hurt herself (And you told me I should concentrate), to fight through her depression (And the only solution was to stand and fight).This is an absolutely beautiful song that carries so much meaning for different people. My interpretation may or may not be right but that's how I see it.
My OpinionThis song touches me in a thousand ways. My mother passed away two months ago, and everytime i listen to this song,it just gets me. I imagine my mother before the sickness creeped in,and how i would always want to make her proud,and i see my myself too doing cartwheels in front of her,and her clapping with glee.and by the service beginning in the graveyward,i envision her having to leave.As though the reality comes back in,but i earnestly try and make her stay by doing one last handstand.Florence and The Machine once again wrote a masterpiece.
