lol it's awesome how she says "thank you" in such a soft voice after a very strong one

She's got such and innocent speaking voice but it's like the heavens have been let out when she sings

Best female vocalist of our time, by a landslide. Poetess. Performer. No contest. Blows me away.

her voice is one the most beautiful things in this world...

I can't even believe how pure and real her voice is. How many people sound THIS good acoustic... Damn Flo.

Approaches the microphone, sings with powerful voice, says thank you like a shy little girl

one of the best voices of our time right now

I don't know if it makes sense or no, but, hell... right now, in my actual spiritual condition, I feel like this song can make a stone cry...

The resonance of her voice is out of this world.

This is what I love about Florence. She comes across as such a quiet, delicate person and you think: She can't seriously be that good a singer if she is this quiet. Then she proves you wrong and just blows you away with this perfect, godlike voice that just shocks you into silence the first time you hear her. Then, you play it again and again; never once getting sick of her gorgeous voice. She is pone of those people who possesses true, raw talent inside of such a normal body. Amazing, really.

from the ones i watched, this is the most amazing perfomance of this song.

**sings such a high, beautiful note, it could have caused the San Andreas fault** ... **five seconds later, in quiet little voice** "Thank you" LOL, too funny! & love ya and your amazing music, Florence! :)

IMO this is the best version of this song, and probably the best live performance I have seen of any Florence anywhere. Simple accompaniment, unrestricted vocals. Florence fans should bookmark this IMMEDIATELY :)

4:46 "Thank you?" It is amazing how her bold and powerful singing voice turns into such a shy and gentle speaking voice.

wow the way she "plays" with her voice is unbelievable!!she doesn't even miss a note!wow.just WOW!

4:21 TEARS. So much power and soul. not even close to screaming

I have never heard a more wonderful voice. There are many singers with good voices, but she is the top. Goosebumps and tears every time when I listen to her sing.

This is amazing, her voice is liquid platinum.

Imagine her standing on roof of high building and singing like that. Her voice is like purest pearl.

Her best live performance without question. It's perfect. She rarely sings it like this live - understandably.

That "thank you" at the end makes me laugh and smile every time...this is music, absolutely captivating, thank you mrs for such a great voice.

I can't understand why she's so amazing!

"What the water gave me" is still my "Heart Song". No song ever topped this for me and this version is clearly the most stunning and breathtaking of all. The pure good feeling that it brings to me is just indescribable. I enjoy this Song nearly every day, 'cause it makes me so thoughtful and sad.. but also very intense happy! I'm so glad that this band exist.

so beautiful. and that thank you in the end omfg

Incredible talent

Funny is that she seems so secure while sings, yet she goes all like "oh, I'm so shy, don't keep looking at me.." when stops singing.. She's so strong and fragile at the same time.. :3

what a voice

You don't find artist that sound live like that anymore.

Time it took us To where the water was That’s what the water gave me And time goes quicker Between the two of us Oh, my love, don’t forsake me Take what the water gave me Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow And oh, poor Atlas The world’s a beast of a burden You’ve been holding up a long time And all this longing And the ships are left to rust That’s what the water gave us So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow ‘Cause they took your loved ones But returned them in exchange for you But would you have it any other way? Would you have it any other way? You couldn't have it any other way ‘Cause she’s a cruel mistress And a bargain must be made But oh, my love, don’t forget me When I let the water take me So lay me down Let the only sound Be the over flow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow So lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow Pockets full of stones Lay me down Let the only sound Be the overflow

Almost can't handle this because its so mind blowing.

that voice is out of this world

Such a beautiful melody that rocks at the end. My fave from Florence and The Machine

I am 39 yrs old and have a huge and ecletic music collection but a more beautiful voice than that of Florence Welch I have yet to hear, every song sung with so much raw emotion

Her voice is so perfect!

Still gives me chills

Such a voice 👌 🌟 star notes 🎵🙏🏻

I really love Florence Welch, her voice is so perfect. When i see this video i feel something rare in me.

Truly amazing. I wonder if SiriusXM has ANY idea of the Talent & Beauty that graced their studios that day. I have Sirius in my car and their Spectrum channel plays 'Shake It Out' but none of her other songs as far as I can tell. Florence is golden. No autotune, no beat-box, just pure, unalloyed talent. Thank you Florence & The Machine!

she is absolutely wonderful.

She's got so much soul that it pours out and fills the listener too

Ms. Lady Florence & the Incredible Machine are Absolutely AMAZING!!! BRAVO!"😎👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

Her voice knows no boundaries.

You ever have a song go straight through your soul to the core of your being? That's what Florence Welch's voice does everytime she sings.

This is my all time fave performance of this song. So incredibly powerful and the acoustics are spot on.

Awwww that ending man she just such a fragile strong hearted women i love her deeply

Great recording of a great artist who's obviously in "the zone." Love the intimate video and the audio mix really shows off Flo's phenomenal dynamic range. I could listen to her voice all day, every day!

3:51 the word "sound" never sounded so good. FloFanForever.

I've not seen so much gospel and crazy cat lady in one person. Love it.

That is just about the most incredible performance I have ever seen. What a voice!

That is magical, just as the flowing water is

She sounds so quiet and shy when she speaks and then when she sings, her voice is so strong and amazing

"thank you"

Man. So clear. It's hard to believe this is live. I forgot until the thank you at the end. This is impeccable work. Stunning. Absolutely stunning.
