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
Through the crowds 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 wanna get right
But, it's a conversation, I just can't help 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 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?
Because 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 wanna 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 wanna 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

She seems to have a fairly limited range in her alto voice and the only other dynamic is yelling. At the end of the day, her voice isn't really all that amazing, but I suppose she's doing well enough with what she has. |

| Lazarus (Bethany) | Posted: Mar 18, 2013 - 19:14 EVERYBODY IN MY CHURCH LOVES THIS SONG!!!! |
| Parberella | Posted: Mar 03, 2013 - 01:25 Such an artist |
| Poacher (Brighton, UK) | Posted: Feb 19, 2013 - 09:59 Overblown and in your face. But that's enough about me. . . I hope Florence tours near me soon so I can feel the power of her lungs first hand. |
| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: Feb 15, 2013 - 09:56 All right already!! Sheesh. |
| Webfoot (Eugene, Oregon) | Posted: Feb 15, 2013 - 09:53 Wow! |
| Far | Posted: Dec 25, 2012 - 07:25 You cant choose what stays and what fades away. Darn right. |
| ScottFromWyoming (Powell) | Posted: Dec 12, 2012 - 20:39 I really do like this song. Nevertheless, I find it necessary to post this: There's no need to shout! |
| oldsaxon (Wales via Vancouver, BC.) | Posted: Nov 11, 2012 - 11:36 This is a nice refreshing blast of new music after the overplayed Zep I just had to sit through. |
| PurplePrincess (the mountains) | Posted: Nov 04, 2012 - 13:51 This is a fantastic song and I love all things Florence, her voice, her lyrics, her presentation and of course, the way she looks. I don't understand all the hate here for her, but we all have different tastes and that's cool with me. I'm just glad that RP likes her and plays her often. Thanks. |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Sep 22, 2012 - 02:02 Cool song but every song from this album just reminds me to listen to the superior first album. This one for instance is good but when My boy builds coffins the power of this song suddenly seems limp by comparison. |
| kojiroh (Istanbul, Turkey) | Posted: Sep 22, 2012 - 02:00 I wish Winamp had a PSD button... |
| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: Sep 11, 2012 - 10:32 I'm still not sure why there is so much hate directed at F+TM. She's got an amazing voice, the melody is fantastic, the lyrics are fantastic, The music is fantastic and her compositions have a completely unique sound. I love her. |
| bseib (40 21' N 86 53' 40" W) | Posted: Sep 11, 2012 - 10:31 Ahhh, this is my alarm going off, reminding me to play some other music I've bookmarked. |
| terrapin52 (Terrapin Station, TX) | Posted: Sep 09, 2012 - 13:35 This band and this album have broken awesome new ground. I love it! |
| tphord (Up 'ere) | Posted: Sep 09, 2012 - 13:33 Stop, exit, Pandora. |

| handyrae (Zero Point Field) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 12:34 I'm not sure why, but I really like her screaming is this song. Go figure. |

When 80% of her notes are off key- and I mean way off - and she continues to prance about the stage as though this is her intention - suspicions are going to be aroused. Her voice doesn't sound off-key on these recordings, but I've never heard a live performance of hers. "Foghorn" Florence's pitch is not what bothers me about most of the songs I've heard from this band, it's her howling. |
| t00lur (happy petergabriel free land) | Posted: Jul 10, 2012 - 12:28 dont like her voice |

| Segue (Almost Paradise) | Posted: May 30, 2012 - 21:34 and they called Springsteen histrionic. like Tori Amos on meth. dreck. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: May 30, 2012 - 21:32 awesome... |
| chitownblz | Posted: May 26, 2012 - 15:07 Awful! Might as well be listening to Cher during an aerobics class. All sounds the same from this machine - impassioned screeching. RP get's it right 99% so guess they are allowed a mulligan. |
| TJS (Bradley, Il) | Posted: May 10, 2012 - 12:46 This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Here's how good she is live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GohXlv7bulM |
