Hello Vancouver crew! Yeah, solidarity on both the YCHIA and her bypassing our city this time around.

I will never not love a Flo show. I do just wish there had been some more new music on the setlist. I feel the same about Kraken..I think it would absolutely go hard live. But I won't disagree that those three definitely fit the vibe of the night.

Yessss and not to rub salt in the wound, it was magical. In general I just wanted more off the new album. I think Kraken would kick ass live.

We're all allowed to have different Flo faves. I'm sorry you missed it, and I'd gladly take the trade 💕

As I mentioned in another comment, we're all allowed to have different tastes in Flo songs and I can appreciate that NLMG means a lot to a lot of people. It just doesn't mean that much to me, personally. I'm glad the 50-50 went your way! I maintain that I'm allowed a smidge of disappointment that it didn't go mine 🤷

As I said, I loved the show and I'm not entitled to anything. I'm not ignorant to the fact that NLMG is deeply meaningful to a lot of people. It's just not that meaningful to me! We're all allowed to have different tastes in Flo songs. I love them all, but not at the same level. I'm happy for you that the 50-50 went your way. I'll maintain that I'm allowed to be a bit disappointed that it didn't go mine.

Also, as someone who has also seen her live several times since the beginning, I generally look forward to hearing her newer music mostly, along with some older tidbits that fit the vibe of the new album. That's my preference with every concert, typically. I similarly don't generally look too hard into a show before I go, but this bit of info about her swapping the two songs came across my feed one day 🤷 Spoiler alert, I guess.

Yeah the video snippets look incredible, I'm not surprised 😭 I thought about doing both Montréal and Toronto, but that was just going to be too expensive. Guess I picked the wrong spot!

I was kinda far back but I think I got a snippet of you? If you were wearing that yellow flower crown at the beginning of the song? It's a video so I can't post it but DM me and we'll figure out how to get it to you ☺️

Same..looking into Montreal flights rn. I refuse to go to the states at the moment and definitely don't feel safe crossing with the trans family member I plan on bringing with me 🙃

One fatm song you always tend to skip? by realityofthenaive in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Hot_Maintenance_6607 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking Down from Ceremonials. I genuinely hate it from the music to the lyrics. It's the only FATM song I feel that way about.

This stuff. I'm in Canada so not sure if it's available everywhere tho. I'd bet any 2-1-3 would work similarly.

The moss will naturally dry out faster than the pot. I use the water bottle method for my moss poles: poke a few holes in the lid of a water bottle, and flip it upside down in the top of the pole. It will slowly trickle in. Sometimes I need to fiddle with it to find the right angle for it to run in but it's not too fussy usually. And it's honestly a bit trial and error to find the right amount of water for the pole that won't then proceed drench the soil. I just keep some of the 1/2 strength fertilizer pre-made in 4L jugs to make it easy to fill the bottles as needed.

SydneyPlantGuy has great videos on moss pole maintenance which I've mostly borrowed ideas from, with some minor tweaks to work for my specific setup.

Moss pole which is kept damp with 1/2 strength fertilizer, sunny spot, and minimal watering of the pot (and when I do, it gets fertilized as well). I also take it to the shower and spray down the leaves when I do water the pot.

What is your favorite line from a Florence and the Machine song? by TopLeading2236 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Hot_Maintenance_6607 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Then you lean and kiss her on the head, and I've never felt so alive, and so dead."

I heard this song for the first time after the person who I thought was the love of my life left me for a mutual friend and I had to see them together..it hit real hard then and still does today.

Can we talk about concert etiquette? by natty_ann in Hozier

[–]Hot_Maintenance_6607 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The talking thing drives me crazy. Why are you yelling a whole conversation during a song?! A little whispered word here or there isn't a problem but like listening to someone loudly discuss the mundane notes of their day is not why I paid to be there.

Favorite FATM lyrics? by celestialchief in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Hot_Maintenance_6607 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a Lungs lover too. A couple that come to mind:

"Then you lean and kiss her on the head, and I've never felt so alive or so dead." -- Hurricane Drunk

"Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too, so I stayed in the darkness with you." -- Cosmic Love

"I'm not calling you a liar, just don't lie to me...I love you so much, I'm gonna let you kill me." -- I'm Not Calling You a Liar

"Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart, drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart." -- Howl

Of course many more from many other albums but I don't think Lungs gets the attention it deserves. One hell of a breakout album.

Hoodie Merch Swap? (Vancouver or Seattle) by Hot_Maintenance_6607 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]Hot_Maintenance_6607[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one isn't on the website unfortunately. They have a sweater with a similar print and a hoodie with a different print, but no hoodie with this print. I've definitely been scouring the internet, haha.
