How she's keeping her pitch "low" in Which Witch scratches my brain at parts I didn't know existed.

So I noticed that a lot of times (if not all) she keeps her voice deeper/ lower in the live version of Which Witch at this specific part, when she sings "I'm on trial" 2x towards the end of this video (not mine btw, creator at the end). In the studio version she goes really high just as in the rest of the song, but here how she keeps her voice deep makes me feel something I can't really describe. I guess it's a bit easier for her to not do the really high bending with her voice, but I think it's a great choice, somehow I feel so much power and pain at the same time in this. A very primal energy, similar to what I feel at the Witch Dance outro. Her Sziget festival show was amazing ❤️‍🔥

Experience with the World card - thoughts?

Back in March towards the end of a 2 months travel I bought a bracelet that has a small metal Tarot card attached to it, "The World". I chose that one because out of the 4 options I felt he closest to that one. Both meaning and visually. I felt it could be a good amulet to keep on myself.

However not long after buying it, I started doubting my choice, thinking what if I want too much with this card, what if my desire for "The World" reads as being greedy (for who? The universe maybe, not sure, I just had this feeling). Anyway, I kept wearing it for months, because I loved how it looks, I still resonated with the card but somehow always felt a little bit too cautious about wearing it on my wrist.

A few months later in a very stressing and "all going wrong" type of few weeks, the card fell of the bracelet. I even thought it was completely lost for a few hours, then my relative found it.

Now I'm not sure what to think. Should I put it back and continue wearing it? Or was this a sign to finally take it off?

I know Tarot is all about own interpretations but I'm a bit lost with this one and I'm curious what others would think.

Maybe a bit more context that this year is very transformative for me, I'm in a middle of job search, moving to a new flat, kind of had to cut off my father, my mother is ill, I became an uncle (my sister had twin babies) and all sort of things.

Thank you in advance to anyone who has anything to say. 🤍

What's next? Early thoughts.

I know the Everybody Scream era is not even over yet (though we are getting close) but still I'm wondering what could the next album be like.
Let's not talk about how she always wants to quit, let's just say there's a new album coming again in a few years. What will it be like?

For me, her previous eras kinda work in pairs. With Lungs she created her own mythical world and I feel like Ceremonials was like a darker, more polished follow up, still packed with glitter and magic. With HB3 she went into more personal territories, breakup songs, more trendy, stripped back visuals and then continued to strip it all down in High As Hope. I think Dance Fever was a return to form, but grown up, seeing someone real professional acknowledging herself as kind of her own mythological creation if that makes sense. For me, Everybody Scream is definitely again a follow up to Dance Fever, leaning more into the horror side of it all, bringing in darker personal stories.

So what could the 7th album bring us? I think she truly enjoys working with her current creative team so that might mean we'll see a third installment in the Florence + Autumn De Wilde universe, with Thunderwing studio designs and supporting visuals by Andrea Zanatelli. As much as I'd love it, I fear it could be a bit repetitive so there's probably a bit of change expected.

As for topics: peace is coming? Morning Elvis on Dance Fever foreshadowed what's next: Florence basically giving birth to new songs on the cover of Everybody Scream because she can't (and doesn't really want to) quit. I wonder if we'll get a peace&love kind of era from her the next time, if And Love is hinting at the future again.

What do you all think? I'd love to read everyone's thoughts, wishes. Just for fun. Again, I know the current era is still on and I'm fully enjoying it. The thing is I just can't get enough of her art and vision amd am always curious about what's next.
