When Florence said, "This is the only thing I've ever had any faith in" WHEN SINGING ABOUT HER SISTER TAKING CARE OF HER. Tears. Goosebumps.
AND THEN she follows up later with "I hope and hope I would never treat anyone like that again"?!?!!?!!! I AM ILL.

"Is this how it is?
Is this how it's always been?
To exist in the face of suffering and death
And somehow still keep singing"

landscape by florence + the machine is so the-queer-black-sheep-of-the-family coded to me. like
"Cause she's just like the weather, can't hold her together
Born from dark water, daughter of the rain and snow
'Cause it's burning through the bloodline
It's cutting down the family tree"
she's literally saying they can't fit her into the role they want her to fill. she's born from something different, something they view as evil and dark and cold. "burning through the bloodline"; basically her entire family gives her weird looks for it, they're against it, its tearing the family apart and the bloodline may end with her so there's double meaning there.
not to mention the line "So she ran to the lighthouse, hoped that it would help her see," that's clearly a reference to virginia woolf's story to the lighthouse. virginia, who florence is a fan of, was also famously queer (the song what the water gave me is also a tribute to virginia and her suicide).
it might be a reach but idc, it means a lot to me and i can interpret it however i want i guess. also, no, im not assuming florence's sexuality. i know she said she doesn't want to label herself this is just my interpretation of a song she happens to be the author of.

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them,
and now it's left me blind.
