Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! Yet another week has passed by so quickly and we get ever closer to a brand new track by Florence + The Machine. While you all desperately try to contain your excitement have a read of this week’s Flow Feature on an anonymous Flow.

Her story starts a long time before she discovered Florence + The Machine, back in the early years of her schooling when she began walking alone down the long road that le her to where she is today. She started out her schooling with a large group of close friends, or at least as close as friends are at that age, but after a simple misunderstanding she was cruelly excluded from the group.  What at the time it seemed small and
unimportant soon grew to be bigger than Ben Hur, and was the stepping stone to many years of loneliness. The classroom and the playground became unbearable. Every day the torment from classmates worsened and she felt more and more alone. The library became her retreat. At lunchtimes she was able to wander off into worlds unlike anything in her dreams. Hogwarts became her home and Narnia her kingdom. She travelled through Middle Earth and fought in great battles in every world she went. But at the end of that half hour she always had to return to the real world.

This pattern continued well into high school, and though she did end up making a small group of friends, the damage was already done. She had lost the ability trust those around her and never let anyone close enough to do any true harm. As she and her classmates grew up the bullying lessened, but what self-esteem she had left slowly depleted. Of course by mid high school began the dating era, where if you didn’t have a boyfriend you were shunned from the crowd. Even if messing around with boys had been anywhere in her priority list, her trust issues and low self-esteem made this an impossible thought. And so she went back to her place among the bookshelves and dreamed of the day that she would truly belong.

As she entered the final years of her schooling, she shocked herself by falling for one of her closest friends. He wasn’t the most handsome or athletic type, he was intelligent and full of life, or so she thought. She truly believed that she was finally on the right track. She knew what she wanted, and though it took a long time to say, she finally told him how she felt. The relief in that split second after she said the words was so freeing, and so quickly crushed by the next moments that followed. She had planned hundreds of reactions in her mind, some happy, many unhappy, but few that were downright cruel. The only thing he could think to do was laugh. The look of shock and amusement in his face will stay with her forever. She had finally opened up to someone just to have it thrown back in her face, to have her hopes crushed in less than a
second. If she hadn’t already, that was the final moment where she lost her faith in people.

She continued with her studies and tried her best to fill her time with any distractions she could find. She ended up filling her time with so much that she barely had time to feel sorry for herself during the day. The
problems came at night, when she would lie in the dark and feel lonelier than ever, the cold hands of her low self-esteem and depression wrapping its hands around her.

It was in her final year of school that she discovered Florence + The Machine. By chance she overheard a friend playing the song ‘Cosmic Love’. She demanded to know the name of the song and whatever god had created it. She spent the whole of lunch searching videos on YouTube, finding every song released by the band and researching every member. As soon as school finished she ran off to get a copy of ‘Lungs’. She then spent the rest of the night wrapped in a blanket on the floor of her room listening to the most beautiful
music she had ever heard in her life. There were no words to describe the sound, the music and the incredible vocals, and no words that could capture the emotions that they created in her heart. For the first night in as long as she could remember, she didn’t feel alone. She wasn’t plagued by the awful weight in
her stomach that was with her every other night. She felt as if she were no longer alone, the only hand that was holding her belonged to the stunning red haired woman on the cover of the album. 

From then on her life revolved around the band. She spent every free moment listening to the music, researching the band or tracking down Flows around the world. She finally began to make great friends that accepted her into their groups with no questions asked. Though she has only ever spoken to Flows through various social media she feels closer to them than any friends she made in her town. Within a few months she met hundreds of Flows and made more friends than she had in her entire schooling. Her nights became clearer and carefree. When the weight of loneliness threatened to re-emerge she simply hit the play button and every shadow was swept away by the light that Florence + The Machine brought to her life.

Through one album Florence + The Machine restored her faith in people. Though she still has a long way to go before she can completely trust other people, she is closer than she has been in the last decade.

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! We know you must all be having a wonderful week with the announcement of a brand new song as part of the soundtrack for The Great Gatsby! This weeks Flow Feature is on Sandi D. 

Sandi spent many of her years in primary school with her head in a book, desperately trying to find a world to escape from the constant bullying from her fellow students. She spent her days lost in the realm of Middle Earth or Hogwarts, the only places where she felt safe from the torment. While her books gave her somewhere to escape the bullies, she could still never escape from herself.

Sandi gradually became more and more depressed, and felt she had nowhere to turn for help. While she was good at reading she had never exceled in any of her studies and began feeling more and more useless. Her parents had no idea what to do with her, and sent her to therapists who were more interested in giving meditation techniques than listening to what she had to say. Sandi became more and more detached. Some days she would never make it to school, finding a patch of shade in the nearby park where she could read. 

It was in 2010 that she first heard the band and the instrument that would change her life. Sandi was searching on YouTube and happened to come across a band called Florence + The Machine performing live on Letterman.  Her mother had never been a big music fan and her father was only interested in rock or heavy metal. Sandi had never heard anything like this band before, and she had certainly never heard the beautiful sound of a harp. 

Sandi was mesmerized for the rest of the performance. The sound was incredible, and the instrument itself was perfect. Sandi knew straight away that she wanted to learn to play. After a lot of convincing and extra chores her parents finally agreed to pay for private lessons. Sandi has been playing the harp for a bit over a year now.  It’s been one of the most challenging things she ever tried. Having no background in music at all learning to read the sheet music has been the toughest part of all. But Sandi refuses to give up. She has already come a long way, and she finally feels like she has something to offer the world, and something that she can do with her life.

Learning to play the harp also opened up a whole social network for Sandi, through her school and music lessons. Sandi has finally made a strong group of friends, even some Flows! Recently at a school concert Sandi finally took up the courage to play a Florence + The Machine song with a few friends. They performed ‘Drumming Song’ (acoustic) in front of the whole school, and even though they all made a lot of mistakes they still received the loudest applause of the whole day.

Sandi hopes that someday soon, when she has enough money behind her, she can finally see the band perform live, and hopefully meet Tom Monger in person. She is so grateful to every member of the band for opening a new world for her, but this time one within her reality.

Thank you Sandi for sharing your inspiring story! We wish you the best with learning to play the harp and fingers crossed you can one day meet your favourite band and your inspiration! 

We hope you all enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! We’re always after some new stories to share, we would LOVE to hear yours next! Contact us through our email or website today! Until next time…

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! Another big week with Florence re-awaking in the world of Twitter, and the band announcing yet another show! Good luck to everyone trying to get tickets for the shows this year! This weeks Flow Feature is on Chris from Argentina!

Chris and his family moved to Argentina when he was only five years old. His parents made the decision to pack up and leave their ‘boring’ lives on a whim and decided that the beautiful land of Argentina was where they would find their happiness.  For Chris life was perfect, the move was the best thing that they had ever done. He loved everything about the country, and all he wanted to do was explore with his younger brother James. For the first few years they lived there, his parents felt the same way. 

Then, as Chris got older and entered his teens, his parents’ marriage began falling apart. To this day Chris still can’t understand what happened between them. They went from such happiness, the kind that led to them moving around the world to a beautiful new land on a crazy thought, to utter hatred. The fighting was harsh and endless. Eventually Chris learnt to leave the house and take his brother to the tree house to escape. They would spend hours in the tree house, playing games, reading and listening to music. But they could still never escape the screaming. Even up in the tree they could hear what was going on in the house below. The months passed and Chris became more and more depressed and the fighting continued. Even through the hatred his parents still remained together, whether out of stubbornness or stupidity he’ll never know.

Chris’ saving grace came on a Tuesday morning when a parcel arrived from his closest friend, a pen pal in London. He opened the box and found a USB, loaded with what the note called ‘the best album you will ever hear’. His friend in London had sent him the debut album of a new band called Florence + The Machine. After the first listen he knew nothing would ever be the same again. He finally knew how his parents had felt reading through the magazines looking at pictures of Argentina. He had found this incredible world, somewhere that Florence and the band could take him to get away from all of his hassles, all of his fears. Somewhere that was his own, where he felt safe and free, where he could be himself. Now, as he sat up in the tree house, he had something beautiful to drown out the hatred below. As the yelling became worse, Chris just made Lungs louder. ‘Dog Days Are Over’ will always be his favourite song. The drumbeats and the layers of vocals drowned out everything around him while he dreamed of freedom.

Relief finally came a few months later when Chris’ parents stopped prolonging the inevitable and decided to separate. Chris will always be grateful to Florence + The Machine, he knows that without their music he would have had nothing to hold onto. One day Chris wants to see the band play live for the first time, and meet the people that stopped him from going insane and pulled him back from many edges.

We hope that one day you get to fulfil your dream Chris! Thank you for sharing your wonderful story with us!

We hope you all enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! It has been over six months now that Inspiring Flows has existed.

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! We hope you’ve all had a wonderful week. Thank you all for joining us yet again to read about Sarah Wilson from the USA.

For Sarah, Florence + The Machine will always be the centre of her world. She first discovered the band through her best friend Stephanie. Sarah and Stephanie met in their first years of school. They were polar
opposites in their appearance, Sarah was always slightly tanned with long flowing blonde hair, and Stephanie was pale as the moon with short bright red hair. Other than that, there was absolutely nothing different about them. They loved the same music, food, art, films, TV series, has the same idols, the list
goes on. Sarah was always slightly self-conscious, afraid to show her real self, but not when she was with Stephanie. Stephanie brought out the best in Sarah, and vice versa. Not once did they fight in the years after they met. It was the kind of friendship that we all read about in books and see in movies, the kind many go their whole lives wishing they could experience. 

On a night in 2010, at around 2.30 in the morning, Stephanie burst into her bedroom (how she got into the house is still unknown) ranting and raving about this incredible new band she had just discovered, Florence + The Machine. If it had been anyone else Sarah would have screamed and started hurling large objects in their direction, but knowing Stephanie, it had to be something good. They stayed up all night listening to this incredible album, watching every music video on YouTube, tracking down every song out there. Neither of them had ever heard anything like this band before, and they knew they were already addicted.

For the next year they spent every waking moment thinking about this band, singing their songs, and channelling Florence as their fashion muse. It was the best year of Sarah’s life. They had already been best friends since they were children, but this brought them both even closer together. The emotional connection that we all feel when we listen to Florence + The Machine, the raw power that the music and lyrics hold, it was all shared with her best friend as well.

The Ceremonials Era began, and finally Sarah and Stephanie had the opportunity to see the band live. They were only a few rows from the front, only a few feet away from their idol. It was the most powerful experience of her life up until that point. She felt strange for the whole night. Her emotions as high as they had ever been, swept up in the moment. Time felt as if it was going in slow motion and double speed at the same time. Though neither of them had any talent they both screamed ever word along with Florence. Stephanie tried (badly) to air guitar along with Rob, while Sarah tried with Toms harp. It was an awe-inspiring concert, Florence and the band played perfectly. It was the best experience that they had ever shared. For weeks after it was all they could talk about. They drove everyone else crazy, their parents, their friends, complete strangers. Already they began planning how to earn the money to see as many more concerts of the tour as they could.

But those plans never came about. A month after the concert Sarah received a phone call, and heard the words she never wanted to hear…

Stephanie, her best friend, the one person that Sarah had always been able to rely on, the one person that she loved with all her heart, had been killed in a car accident on her way home from the movies. 

Sarah was crushed, she had no idea what to do next, where to go. She spent the days until the funeral locked in her room in shock. She didn’t even realise it was the day until she saw her parents leave without her, she had never even heard them knocking on her door. Sarah finally built up the courage and made her way to the church. For the second time Sarah experienced time as if it was in slow motion and double speed at the same time. It wasn’t part of the plan but halfway through the funeral Sarah interrupted and went up to the podium. She had no words to say, couldn’t think of any words that could convey her love for Stephanie, and capture her memory. So Sarah didn’t speak words. She stood in front of their family and friends and sang the only song she could think of. ‘You’ve Got The Love’ by Florence + The Machine. 

That was the last time that Sarah heard one of the bands songs for months. Sarah couldn’t bear to hear the music that she had shared with Stephanie, the albums that had brought them so close together. Sarah thought that by not listening to the band it would make it easier, make it hurt less. 

A few months after the funeral Stephanie’s mum called and asked Sarah to come and see what she wanted to keep out of Stephanie’s bedroom. Sarah stopped by the next day, and for the first time saw Stephanie’s room without Stephanie in it, dancing to ‘Dog Days Are Over’ or singing her heart out to ‘Rabbit Heart’. Sarah spent hours in the room, going through her best friends belongings, through the memories they had shared. She found Stephanie’s vinyl collection, both Lungs and Ceremonials. Though she knew it was going to be hard to hear the songs again, the room would never feel right without playing one of them.

Sarah sat on the floor of the room listening to ‘Lungs’. At first it was hard, the songs brought back every memory of the past 2 years, the loss was too much for her to comprehend. But after a few runs through the album, Sarah started feeling something else, something she wasn’t expecting. The music, along with Florence’s beautiful voice started to comfort her. It felt as if she was coming home. The lyrics were like arms wrapped around her, holding her close, telling her that everything would be okay, that she would find a way through this.

After that day Sarah started listening to Florence + The Machine again. Though it still hurt every time she was reminded of Stephanie, the next note was the bands way of looking after her. It was as if there was someone holding her hand the whole way through. Sarah doesn’t know if the hand belongs to Stephanie, who is staying with her, or to Florence, who is looking after her, but she knows she will make it through, somehow. All she has to do is keep listening and they will come to her.


We would like to send a massive thank you to Sarah Wilson for
sharing your story with us. We hope that whoever is there holding your hand will
never let it go, and don’t forget that the Flows will always be there too
  whenever you need us.


We hope this weeks Flow Feature will stay with you all. If you

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! We hope you’ve all had a wonderful week, today’s story is on Elizabeth from the UK!!

Elizabeth had always been interested in art, history and music but had never had the courage to try and create her own, not until she discovered ‘Lungs’. Elizabeth first discovered Florence + The Machine in early 2010. A seemingly simple music recommendation from a friend soon turned into an obsession. Day and night, for weeks on end, Elizabeth was attached to her iPod with ‘Lungs’ on repeat. The album became a part of her life that she knew she could never part with. The music spoke to her in a language that she had never heard before, with words so sweet and full of meaning that her heart ached with every listen.

A few months later Elizabeth was in the art rooms at lunch watching her friends channel their inspiration into great works of art. Though she has always loved it, Elizabeth had always been too scared to try it out
herself. That day the art teacher noticed Elizabeth looking longingly at the artwork around her, and took it upon himself to give her the final nudge to try it out. The art teacher set her up with a blank canvas and every colour of paint you could think of. He turned to her and asked her “what inspires you?” In that moment there was only one thing that Elizabeth could think of. 

For the next few weeks Elizabeth spent every afternoon in the art rooms working on what ended up being a ‘Lungs’ based series of artwork, one for each track and a large version of the album cover. The art teacher was so impressed with her work that he arranged for Elizabeth to join an art course where she has had the chance to work on a ‘Ceremonials’ and ‘Florrible and Misrabella’ series.

Outside the success of her art, Elizabeth has also been using the inspiration given by Florence + The Machine to write her own music. At the moment she is in the lengthy process of translating the songs she has created in her head into written music, something she had never learnt previously. Once she has finished she will have a full album!! Elizabeth is currently in her last year of school and with the help of her favourite art teacher is applying for every university scholarship to study a mixture of art, history and music.  

Thank you Elizabeth for sharing your story with us! We wish you all the best with your music, artwork and future studies!!

We hope you enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature. We would love to
hear your story next…

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! It’s been a big week with Florence winning even more awards for herself and the hard working band, and finally some new festival dates announced! We’re glad that through all the excitement you’ve found yourself reading our weekly Flow Feature, this time on V. Holmes!

V. Holmes first discovered Florence + The Machine in the most unlikely way… In early 2010 she was walking down the street on her way to the local music store. Too busy wrapped up in a conversation with her friend about their favourite British bands (Coldplay or The Beatles???) V. was not watching where she was going. Before she knew what had happened she was a heaped, bloody mess on the doorstep of the music store. V immediately turned around to abuse whatever inanimate object that had caused her such embarrassment, and instead stopped in awe at an image of the most beautiful red haired woman she had ever seen. Through some kind of fate or destiny V had managed to trip over a display for the recently released debut album of Florence + The Machine, ‘Lungs’. 

A few weeks later, V went back and bought a copy of the album. The kooky store owner, recognising V from her accident, turned and told her to “watch out, you never know when life will throw something in your path, and you never know how it will change you…” It doesn’t happen often, but boy was the kooky music store lady right that day.

Since discovering 'Lungs' in 2010, V has found the inspiration and confidence to express herself artistically. Though every song provides its own unique inspiration, the worlds created by ‘Blinding’, ‘Girl With One Eye’ and ‘Howl’ have always stood out for V. Much of her artwork has been inspired by these three songs. Recently V received an award for ‘Most Accomplished Young Artist’ in her school, and has now been nominated for the same award for her entire region. Now with ‘Ceremonials’ in her pocket along with ‘Lungs’, and the promise of more albums in the future, V finally has an idea of who she is and who she wants to become. Her artwork is already taking her places she never would have thought she would go and given her opportunities she would otherwise have never had. Recently V has begun working on her own music, also inspired by the world of Florence + The Machine. Though it hasn’t yet left her mind and her bedroom we’re sure it will be just as rewarding as her art! 

V. Holmes is so grateful to Florence + The Machine. Though they got off to a rough start they have buried themselves so deeply inside her heart that they will forever be a part of her. V ensures at every award ceremony she attends she thanks the band that gave her the courage to become who she is and the inspiration to fulfil her dreams.

Thank you so much to V. Holmes for sharing your beautiful story! We wish you the best of luck with all of your creative outlets, we hope they bring you every happiness!

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! Before we begin we must send out huge congratulations to Florence Welch for taking out the award for both of her nominations at the NME Awards last night! This weeks Flow Feature is on S.G. from Australia!

S.G. first discovered Florence + The Machine by chance in early 2010 while on a quest to expand her vinyl collection. She was sifting through the vinyl section in JB Hi-Fi when she came across an album by a band that she had never heard of before. Intrigued by the beautiful album artwork S.G. picked up the copy of ‘Lungs’ by Florence + The Machine. Being a fan of incredible album artwork S.G. concluded that an album with such a beautiful cover could only hold something wonderful inside. Little did she know what this spontaneous choice would mean for her…

From the second the first track started she was in love. S.G. had never heard anything like this before, and knew it was so special that she likely would never hear anything like it again. She played the album as loud as the speakers would go, letting the power of the music take over her body and Florence’s enchanting voice take over her mind. When she reached the end of Cosmic Love she stopped, so overwhelmed by what she had just heard that she could not continue. For the next hour she replayed the track over and over. By
the end S.G. was dancing around the room, swept up in a hurricane of power and emotion by this one track. The drums beating along with her own heartbeat and Florence’s voice speaking the words that had previously been caught so deep inside her soul that they were unreachable. As the drums became more and more powerful S.G. let her feet and her body take over, her voice drowned out as Florence cried the words that S.G. had never been able to say. By the end of the track S.G. found herself slumped against the wall, left in a sort of shock, unsure of what she had just experienced, but ready to go again. 

From that day onwards S.G. had a new lease on life. ‘Lungs’ had filled her with so much hope, inspiration and power, and she wasn’t going to let anything take that away from her. Even during the darker times of her life in the following years S.G. has always had ‘Lungs’ by her side to give her the strength she needed to get through each day. Whenever the road gets rough S.G. just needs to play that one vinyl with the beautiful artwork and somehow the world becomes right again. Though she also loves ‘Ceremonials’ more than words can convey, ‘Lungs’ will always have that special place in her heart. 

Thank you to S.G for sharing your wonderful story! Who would have thought that you would find an album so life changing just on a random whim! We’re so glad that you picked up ‘Lungs’ that day and we hope that with the help of Florence + The Machine can continue to get through anything life throws your way!

We hope you all enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! We’re always looking for more inspiring Flows to share their wonderful stories with us, send us an email or submit through our website today!

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! Unfortunately Flo lost out at the Brits also, but there are still plenty more nominations for her and the band in the coming months! This weeks Flow Feature is on Braiyan Becerra!

Braiyan’s story began a few years ago with is favourite TV show, Glee. Like many in the Flow community, the first Braiyan heard of Florence + The Machine was when the cast of Glee performed ‘Dog Days Are Over’ at the end of an episode in November, 2010. Braiyan thought the song was wonderful from the beginning, but with no knowledge of the original artist his searches came up empty. Instead Braiyan had to settle for the Glee cast version.

It wasn’t until 2011 that Braiyan decided to try and track down the original version of the song. He searched through the internet until he finally found the Glee Wikipedia page for that episode, and first read the name Florence + The Machine. Much to his regret now, his first thoughts of the band were shock and confusion, wondering what kind of name that was for a band. Little did he know what this mysterious name had in store for him…

Later in 2011 Braiyan finally decided he needed to know more about this band. The first song his Youtube search was ‘Kiss With A Fist’, which needless to say he fell in love with straight away. But Braiyan was still unsatisfied, he needed more. He kept searching and finally after so long found the original version of the song that had caught his attention so long ago, ‘Dog Days Are Over’. There was nothing like the feeling of the first listen. The drums, Florence’s voice, it was perfection that he never knew existed, had never dreamed of. 

Braiyan didn’t even need to hear the rest of the album to know that he had found something special. Now with two life-changing albums in his hands Braiyan is certainly glad that he didn’t let what at first seemed like a strange and random name keep him from digging deeper into our world.

Thank you to Braiyan for sharing your story! We sure are glad that you kept digging and eventually found not only the band and their albums, but the Flows as well!!!

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! Though it was sad to see Florence + The Machine unsuccessful at the Grammy Awards it was still a wonderful experience seeing them all dressed up on the red carpet! This weeks Flow Feature is on Amal Sabrie.

Although he had heard of Florence + The Machine for a long time, Amal had never paid much attention other than their big name songs like ‘Rabbit Heart’ and ‘Dog Days Are Over’. Though it only seems like yesterday, it was two years ago at a school dance competition that Florence + The Machine pulled Amal in. That night another school at the event performed a breathtaking dance performance to ‘Cosmic Love’. After that night Amal had ‘Cosmic Love’ on repeat for months.

After a few more months there was another dance competition in the area, and yet again one of our favourite Lungs tracks was used to leave the audience in awe. Amal couldn’t believe what he was hearing as he watched the dancers perform to ‘Blinding’. A few days later he found out that the song that left him mesmerized that night was by the same band, Florence + The Machine. 

It didn’t take long for Amal to dig up and surround himself with every song by the band and start tracking down their fans. With most of his friends in love with the work of artists like Chris Brown, Amal has his work cut out for him to spread word of the beauty that is Florence + The Machine. 

We wish Amal the best in his quest to get more and more fans for the one and only Florence + The Machine, we trust if you just give them a copy of their albums the job will be done.

We hope you enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! Have a wonderful week, may it be filled with much wonder, beauty and Florence! Until next time…

Welcome to this weeks Flow Feature! We hope you have all had a wonderful week and can hopefully get your hands on some of that stunning Capsule Jewellery through Flotique! This weeks Flow Feature is on 16 year old Ademir Dextre from Peru!

Why does Ademir love Florence Welch and her beautiful Machine? There truly are no words in any language that can adequately describe this woman, nor words to describe how wonderful life has been for Ademir, and every Flow along with him, since discovering Florence + The Machine. And of course discovering this band doesn’t just bring us music like we’ve never heard before, but to a whole community of beautiful fans, Flows whose lives have been changed like our own, a bonus that Ademir had not expected. 

It was through Florence + The Machine that Ademir became more interested in music in general, especially Indie music. Ademir first found the band through MTV where he heard ‘Dog Days Are Over’ for the first
time.  The feeling was unbelievable, the pace of the song, the drums, Florence’s voice. Even though he
was unsure of the message it didn’t take long for the song, and the rest of Lungs, to fill a void in his life that he had never known was empty. 

For Ademir, the most influential part of Florence + The Machine has been the messages in every song. Each song brings a different type of energy, enough to get you through the day and forget whatever problems 
have been troubling your mind. Florence Welch has the ability to take Ademir away from all the problems, sorrows and worries of his life, even if just for a few minutes.  Songs like “Shake It Out’ and ‘Drumming
Song’ have held a particular power over Ademir with their mysterious ability to recharge his mind and soul.

Just recently Ademir was able to get a hold on a copy of MTV Unplugged, which was about as hard to track down as the other elusive Flows living in Peru. Little by little Ademir has been able to track down a number of Flows, many of which he found through his role as admin at Florence + The Machine Peru, whose goal is to continue to spread the music of Florence + The Machine as far as we can reach.

Thank you Ademir for sharing your story! We hope Florence + The Machine continue to rejuvenate your life for many years to come! 

We hope you enjoyed this weeks Flow Feature! If Florence + The Machine have brought new energy to your life and opened your eyes to other worlds, we would love to hear it! Send us your story today. Until next week…
