#everybody scream

listening to Everybody Scream....and, wow, yeah. Listening with the context that Florence Welch wrote this album after an ectopic pregnancy that miscarried and almost killed her is truly so vital to fully appreciate it imo. This is an album so full of grief, so full of fear of the body, of clawing your way back to a body that almost didn't save you, of coming to terms with such a horror and grief alienating you from gender and romance, and of how grief over a life un-lived transforms you. I've been listening to Florence since I was barely a teen and this is truly some of the most acutely personal work she's ever shared. it would be a shame, I think, if people couldn't appreciate that aspect of Everybody Scream for what it is. so if you didn't know this album is about the aftermath of Florence's near-fatal ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage, now you do and your listening will be all the more profoundly moving for it <3
