Hedda

“Songs can be incredibly prophetic, like subconscious warnings or messages to myself, but I often don't know what I'm trying to say till years later. Or a prediction comes true and I couldn't do anything to stop it, so it seems like a kind of useless magic.”
― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

“I wish I had more of your staunch American character,
Strong, bold, and unflinching, like the desert or a New York skyscraper.
But I am more like the English weather
Unpredictable and ever changing,
Prone to downpours.
Battered by sudden winds - thin skinned, eye-bagged and always cold,
Proud and leaking.”
― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

“You saw the stars out in front of you
Too tempting not to touch”
― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry

“I like people who've seen some darkness
The haunted ones.
I like people who don't claim to know what love is
The honest ones.”
― Florence Welch, Useless Magic: Lyrics and Poetry
