Everybody Scream – Florence + the Machine
Florence + The Machine infuses life with beauty in the album's title track “Everybody Scream,” featuring a music video directed by Autumn de Wilde. The creative theme mirrors the resilience of Welch’s personal experiences as she navigates the uncertainty of a healing journey, all while highlighting a transparent creative process. Recently, she showcased her artistry in Useless Magic, where her work beautifully intertwined with her reality, imbuing everyday life with clarity, beauty, and significance. Poetically, her alchemy turns thoughts into emotions. Her process elevates energy as she shares it with her audience, and her lyrics fill the imagination with violet pansies, growth, and delicate textures in every rhythm.
The song’s lyrics reflect this essence, blending carefree dancing with vulnerability:
Get on the stage (Dance)
And I call her (Sing),
by her first name (Turn)
Try to stay away (Move)
But I always meet (Shake),
her back at this place (Scream)
She gives me everything (Love),
I feel no pain
I break down (Jump),
get up, and do it all again
Because it’s never enough (Live)
And she makes me feel love (Breathe)
I could come here (Go),
and scream as loud as I want (Scream)
Everybody dance (Ah)
Everybody sing (Ah)
Everybody move (Ah)
Everybody scream

Welch acknowledges the discomfort that comes with change.
Flowing through the present, the ballad features ethereal, ascending organ sounds layered with magic. From the very start, a warm vibrato invites listeners with the soothing nature of her voice, conveying a message through each note.
She shares her journey through vulnerability, transient feelings, and lingering thoughts while creating a sense of continuity amidst pain. By claiming her voice, she offers gentle reassurance, revisiting what lies within her control, and asserting her power as she navigates “magic and the misery, madness and the mystery,” ultimately arriving at a place of recovery.
Her lyrics emphasize this duality:
Here, I don’t have to be quiet
Here, I don’t have to be kind
Extraordinary and normal all at once
But look at me run myself ragged
Blood on the stage
But how can I leave you
when you’re screaming my name?
Screaming my name
I will come to you in the evening, ragged and reeling
Shaking my gold like a tambourine
A bouquet of brambles, all twisted and tangled
I’ll make you sing for me, I’ll make you scream
Everybody dance (ah)
Everybody sing (ah)
Everybody move (ah)
Everybody scream

For those finding it hard to confront their emotions or pain, Welch provides an escape to a serene landscape where they can process their feelings while moving to rhythmic and healing soundscapes. The listening experience feels deeply personal, fostering a meaningful connection that allows individuals to engage with their emotions while releasing tension.
Here, I can occupy the entire sky
Unfurling, reaching my full potential
And look at me burst through the ceiling
Aren’t you so glad you came?
Breathless and begging
and screaming my name
Screaming my name
Everybody jump, everybody sing
Everybody move, everybody scream
Everybody shake
Put down your screen
Everybody up, everybody scream
The witchcraft, the medicine,
the spells and the injections
The harvest, the needle
protect me from
