the vibe change between Lungs and Ceremonials is so funny to me cause her debut album era Florence was a messy glitter-covered gremlin who screamed a lot and the next she was a classy 20s aesthetic inspired queen like the duality

florence + the machine album aesthetics: 2/?

CEREMONIALS (2011)

And the grass was so green against my new clothes / And I did cartwheels in your honour / Dancing on tiptoes / My own secret ceremonials / Before the service began / In the graveyard doing handstands

- “Only If For A Night”

made a flo version :')

florence + the machine lyrics x colors x textiles in art – red

Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) – Lungs // Queen Anne, When Princess of Denmark – Willem Wissing and Jan van der Vaart 🩸 Kiss with a Fist – Lungs // Eleonora di Toledo – Bronzino 🩸 Lover to Lover – Ceremonials // Girl with a Doll in an Armchair – Alois Hans Schram 🩸 Ship to Wreck – How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful // Portrait of Marie Casimire Zamoyska (Marysieńka) – unknown artist 🩸 What Kind of Man – How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful // Portrait of a Young Woman – Arnold van Ravesteyn 🩸 Heaven Is Here – Dance Fever // Portrait of Vittoria della Rovere, Grand Duchess of Tuscany – after Justus Sustermans

girls when regrets collect like old friends here to relive your darkest moments and looking for heaven found the devil in me looking for heaven found the devil in me but what the hell i’m gonna let it happen to me and i am done with my graceless heart so tonight i’m gonna cut it out and let it restart and i like to keep my issues drawn it’s always darkest before the dawn and it’s hard to dance with a devil on your back but given half the chance would i take any of it back? it’s a fine romance but it’s left me so undone it’s always darkest before the dawn and i’m damned if i do and damned if i don’t so here’s to drinks in the dark at the end of my road and i’m ready to suffer and ready to hurt it’s a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat

Florence barbies!!!

how big how blue how beautiful = water dance fever = earth high as hope = air lungs = fire ceremonials = the underworld

Mother...

Ceremonials era Florence just because it's a Ceremonials kind of day
