My 11 just has to go to a Lungs track, it's one of my favourite albums ever and is so, so special.

Off the top of my head I can list four potential 11's... 'Heavy in Your Arms', 'St Jude', 'Girl with One Eye', 'Never Let Me Go'.

- the 10's though are endless.

To what? It's just a orchestral cacophony with no direction or nuance. It's the closest she's come to just releasing noise.

Teebs just relistened now and it's whatever tune I sing in my head I actually bop to, your description of the real thing is apt.
Heavy In Your Arms (C-Berg Mix) is the best soundtrack song she's done. I don't recall EVER listening to the original because this is such an ominous masterpiece.

I'm unsure how I feel about "Heavy In Your Arms". Like, Florence's music is quite carnal and gothic anyway, but I feel like things really got ramped up to a ridiculous degree there. It's almost a dirge in how plodding and weighted it is.

I feel like my eleven belongs to s a song from Ceremonials but it's trying to decide which one gets it though.

I'mma have to use my Third Eye to help suss out an 11. It's the first rate where each album is a masterpiece to my ears.

I had to rework my rating scale for this. About half the songs were getting 9's and 10's. Not that they didn't deserve high marks, but some of those tens were more a ten than others.

I have my 11 on lock but I'm not expecting it to get really far.

I have an existential question for the commentary: are we using "her" or "them"?

I have never participated in a rate before but I might give this one a go! I love Florence and her music and I have 3 candidates for my 11 one from each album, each one of the songs just make me a feel a certian way only Florence can and the lirycs really get to me. This should keep me occupied during the summer holidays.

Thank you both!

I definitely remember having these two on the list at some point, but I think they got lost alongside the live covers.

After having a bit of a think I've decided to include them. I've also remembered a few more collaborations Florence has done which I've decided to include, so the new total number of songs is 64. I'll edit the list in a few.

Listening to Lungs right now, and does anyone else remember when "Hurricane Drunk" was announced as a single, got a video, and then said announcement and video were wiped off the face of the Internet?
