“Long & Lost” is a track off of Florence + the Machine’s How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.
After being slighted in the previous song, Florence considers returning to her lover, but wonders if it’s even worth it.
A poem, written by Florence Welch, follows the music video.
[Verse 1]
Lost in the fog, these hollow hills
Blood running hot, night chills
Without your love, I'll be
So long and lost, are you missing me?
[Chorus]
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
[Verse 2]
I need the clouds to cover me
Pulling them down, surround me
Without your love I'll be
So long and lost, are you missing me?
[Chorus]
Is it too late to come on home?
Are all those bridges now old stone?
Is it too late to come on home?
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
[Bridge]
It's been so long between the words we spoke
Will you be there up on the shore, I hope
You wonder why it is that I came home
I figured out where I belong
[Chorus]
But it's too late to come on home
Are all those bridges now old stone?
But it's too late to come on home
Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song
Long & Lost was written by Ester Dean & Florence Welch.
Long & Lost was produced by Markus Dravs.
Florence + the Machine released Long & Lost on Fri May 29 2015.
Director Vincent Haycock recalled:
The end of the video was done in a single take at the very last seconds of light during a stormy barge ride on a freezing sea. The effort and focus on both the actors and crew was so amazing.
