The music is so euphoric,as a way of battling the words. It’s like an exorcism, beating it out with drums, shake this demon out, it’s so visceral because the melancholy has to be drummed out. I can’t let it sit inside me.

More quotes by Florence Welch
I think waste of your brain is something that my mother would say to me occasionally - I think it's usually when I'm telling her something like that I can remember every outfit I've ever worn.
Florence Welch
My room is like an antique shop, full of junk, and weird stuff. There's a big sword in there. And a taxidermy bird, and a couple of birdcages. And a lot of newspaper cuttings. I used to have a weird thing about cutting out morbid headlines from newspapers, and collecting them. I was fascinated with drowning, which is kind of strange.
Florence Welch
Love is horrible. I mean, when you're in love, it's like a sickness. Such madness.
Florence Welch
Having a soul, they say, is like taking sadness and turning it into something beautiful.
Florence Welch
I think an encore is perfectly acceptable, but I find it so weird when people do two or three.
Florence Welch
It’s good to be vulnerable in amongst the grandeur you shouldn’t lose that sense of intimacy and vulnerability with people.
Florence Welch
At the beginning of my career I was going through a really weird phase of dressing in boys clothes. I would only wear one American Apparel T-shirt and shorts and brogues the whole year round. Not the same T-shirt, obviously, but one style of American Apparel T-shirt. I think I was going through a tomboy stage.
Florence Welch
I wish to remain nameless And live without shame 'Cause what's in a name, Oh I still remain the same
Florence Welch
I've got my ideal job. I like to sing, I like to dance, I like to bang drums and dress up, and someone pays me - it's incredible.
Florence Welch
I think I just get excited by music, and, like, singing is a very physical thing. It releases endorphins in your body. You're using almost muscle in there, and I think that adrenaline really helps to kind of make the songs fresh every time.
Florence Welch
Maybe in music you're making an auditory environment and maybe you change your environment around you to suit your own way.
Florence Welch
I can’t worry too much about the everyday things. Otherwise I’d lose touch with my own world, that helps me as an artist, but it’s frustrating for the people around me. I’m vaguely functional, but there’s always something slightly off.
Florence Welch
The aesthetic came along the way, I think - just through experimenting, and going on tour, and trying stuff out on stage, having fun with it, and not taking it too seriously. If I had a ballgown at home, I'd wear it onstage. If I found something in a charity shop, I'd wear it. That's where it grew from - just wanting to play dress-up.
Florence Welch
The stage is the place I feel comfortable - it's almost as if real life is where I feel most nervous. Conversations are a lot more nerve-wracking.
Florence Welch
I definitely have a real self-destructive streak.
Florence Welch
I wanted to be a witch when I was a kid. I was obsessed with witchcraft. At school, me and my two friends had these spell books I always wanted a more magical reality. I had a little shrine at home and I did a spell to try and make the boy in the other class fall in love with me.
Florence Welch
I can't ever seem to shake the feeling that when things are really good it essentially means that things are going to go really bad. When I feel calm and settled, there is always an underlying feeling of impending doom... I don't think that it's healthy.
Florence Welch
You should have high expectations for yourself and others should come second.
Florence Welch
I love that sense of release as you throw yourself into the crowd as hundreds of arms are carrying you.
Florence Welch
I think I've always looked older than I am. I hope that's going to work in my favor when I get older.
Florence Welch
