Simon Purdon Its always nice to discover a new artist whose music you fall in love with instantly. Florence's voice reminds me a little of EBTG's Tracy Thorn, wonderfully unique Favorite track: Chestnut Heart.

I was born on the moon Every day a different view I was born magnetic moon Waiting for you You, you I whisper to the sea The same name a different dream And on an ocean of relief You come to me Me, me So darling won't you help me sing? Sing magnetic melodies I'll sing'em to the open land Forever will you hold my hand Forever you will hold my hand As oceans rise we live our final days We'll leave the answer up by our graves Bow to land and sea the angels cry With you I'll die, die, die So darling I can feel you here The angel's touch is yours my dear Darling I am on my way You're all around you're leading me You're all around you're leading me Forever you will hold my hand

Wildflowers in the dead of night Don't need to fight for sun Need to fight for sun in the same way Wildflowers in the dead of night Stretch down into the ground Finally figure out where roots lie Standing up all day No room for give and take it feels like Giving giving gone, giving giving gone If I can make it through this day My blooms will be replaced or else it's Giving giving gone, giving giving, gone One stop jack-of-all Come take just what you need Just this once, forever more One hundred miles an hour, is how I'm swept along Barely clinging on to being me Standing up all day No room for give and take it feels like Giving giving gone, giving giving gone If I can make it through this day My blooms will be replaced or else it's Giving giving gone, giving giving, gone Wildflowers in the dead of night Sway freely in the breeze, breathing in their own delight

Little Eyes 03:20
Sorry's such an ugly word When you use it to cover up all your hurt I bet you think a pretty girl Could never tell you what she's worth But there's more than meets your little eyes I know you can't see it but boy you should feel it And as you wait for my reply I'm already dancing I am all my answers I hope you can see with your Little eyes Your little eyes And lately life's been such a drag When I want to shout but my tongue it snags There's only so far you can push the boundaries of What's all good So tell me is it me that's wrong Cos' I toed the line but the line has worn I'm sorry that I'm not sorry All I can do is show you That there's more than meets your little eyes And oh if you saw it you wouldn't ignore it And as you watch me dance away You've seen all my answers, there's a small chance That it's opened up your Little eyes Your little eyes

Fiery hot I'm black on the outside of my chestnut heart Wrap me up To conserve the beauty of this chestnut heart This chestnut heart Fear me not Use your faith to prize apart my shell Wisened hands You will need to see inside this chestnut heart This chestnut heart On my hands Are the marks I bare from holding you Along my path You're left behind like scattered clues Of this chestnut heart So peel me right now So peel me right now Peel me right now Peel me right now So peel me right now Let's go outside Where I'll hold you tight in the chestnut light Or one more high, who could know it would last into the night? Of this chestnut heart Fiery hot I'm black on the outside of my chestnut heart

Jumping on a train again Please step aside, this door ain't wide enough Some come in and some refrain Make up your mind, don't you want it bad enough? Chug, chug down the line Faces facing mine Am I doing fine? (I'm totally fine) When the night is through With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads And I need you A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall Into the arms of her seven sisters Set aside the politics, is it thanks to me that I've ended up this way? Wait a minute, let me think Of every times that you reached out your hand Sleeping on your couch Giving mouth to mouth Ok, so I might need your help from time to time (could you give me a hand please?) When the night is through With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads And I need you A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall Into the arms of her seven sisters Spoken: She told me long after she had died, when you go into a room, a meeting, an interview, take everyone who loves you with you. Family, friends, they're all around. See them there, feel them there and they will give you strength. That's the strength of feminism. The unseen army with sword half drawn that emboldens me to ask for more and take my place. Maya Angelou and all her wisdom comes with me into the rawest rooms and roars. When the night is through With seven sisters screaming through the skies above our heads And I need you A message for the independent woman, who thought she'd never fall Into the arms of her seven sisters credits released December 18, 2020 Album Art: Tiff Cryer Featured voice clip: The Guilty Feminist podcast Production and Arrangement: Florence Glen

I want to see the kind of girl That goes your way When I'm gone Sounds like something we might say The seasons come and go But some do stay The winter in my heart feels like it'll never go away When you're gone Every day's a rainy day When you're gone We'll be holding our heads in our hands like me used to Every time we're seduced to This kind of torture We'll talk about where we want to be The places we would go if only we could guarantee We're still one But we say, "We'll see" But I know We'll be holding our heads in our hands like we used to Every time we're seduced to This kind of torture Why do we talk about the things That we don't ever want to see It's a kind of torture Why do we put ourselves in places We don't ever want to be It's a kind of torture Why do we talk about the things That we don't ever want to see It's a kind of torture Why do we put ourselves in places We don't ever want to be It's a kind of torture to me

Chaotic particles frozen for now I'll skate across the surface delighting in how Easily I go Islands are forming, drifting quite curiously I know this feeling, kindly reminded Tessellated butterflies Animals and alibis Hopes that one day we'll fly away Up and down the river goes Don't stop it it'll overflow Journeying as fast as it flows, ooh High in my tower now watching the skater go Hour after hour, can't shake this feeling, oh What does it matter if the horizon's gold If I can't wake from this feeling, this feeling cold? Please hold me Let's create a butterfly Animals and alibis Hopes that one day we'll fly away Up and down the river goes Don't stop it it'll overflow Journeying as fast as it flows, ooh

Everything is falling into place Keeping busy, keep it moving on Walks along the beach, miles on the clock Filling every second I can't stop Now most days I only think of you once or twice So when will you notice me? I've waited for long When can we cease desist this carrying on? This winter's long This winter's long By the time this year rolls round I'll be best friends with the neighbours from next door I'll be knitting hats five days a week Friday night book club my social life's hit peak Now on a good day I only think of you in my dreams So when will you notice me? I've waited for long When can we cease desist this carrying on? This winter's long This winter's long

Fire Lady 03:04
There's a lady who dances and fire is her name She makes her advances and leads you astray And she waits for you patiently She watches you never leaves She'll marry you carry you In her embrace yourself For the lady she burns Her bark is her bite and forever you'll yearn For her tender lips and sweet caress She'll have you knowing less and less About any love you ever knew before And she waits for you patiently You're running home faithfully Spirits fly flames are high The lady she's mine The lady she's mine So come lie with me For with you I am coal Turned from black to gold You warm my soul You warm my soul You warm my soul You warm my soul
