Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise) Song Chart

This is an upbeat reprise of the first song and title track of the album. A "concept album," it was produced as if Sgt. Pepper's was a real band.

This song was produced in a rush when The Beatles decided to bring back the theme song to introduce the last track on the album, "A Day In The Life." The idea to reprise the song came from Neil Aspinall, The Beatles' friend and road manager.

The audience sounds were dubbed in to make it sound live.

John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison shared lead vocals.

Strawberry Fields Forever Lyrics

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields Forever

Living is easy with eyes closed
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone
But it all works out
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

No one I think is in my tree
I mean it must be high or low
That is you know you can't tune it
But it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever

Always know sometimes it's me
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think I know I mean a "Yes"
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree

Let me take you down
'Cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real
And nothing to get hung about
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever
Strawberry Fields forever

Strawberry Fields Forever Song Chart

Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army home in Liverpool where John Lennon used to go. He had fond memories of the place that inspired this. In 1984, Lennon's widow Yoko Ono donated $375,000 to the home. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

John's aunt Mimi did not like John going to Strawberry Fields, as it was basically an orphanage and she thought they would lead John astray. John liked going there because having lost his father and later his mother he felt a kinship to the lads. When John and his aunt would argue about his going he would often reply, "What are they going to do, hang me?" Thus the line "Nothing to get hung about." In America, to be "hung up" is to worry about something, so many US listeners thought the line meant that it was nothing to get "hung up about." (thanks, Ken - Hartland, MI)

Lennon (from his 1980 interview with Playboy magazine): "Strawberry Fields is a real place. After I stopped living at Penny Lane, I moved in with my auntie who lived in the suburbs in a nice semidetached place with a small garden and doctors and lawyers and that ilk living around... not the poor slummy kind of image that was projected in all the Beatles stories. In the class system, it was about half a class higher than Paul, George and Ringo, who lived in government-subsidized housing. We owned our house and had a garden. They didn't have anything like that. Near that home was Strawberry Fields, a house near a boys' reformatory where I used to go to garden parties as a kid with my friends Nigel and Pete we would go there and hang out and sell lemonade bottles for a penny. We always had fun at Strawberry Fields. So that's where I got the name. But I used it as an image. Strawberry Fields forever."

Some of the lyrics reflect being misunderstood. Lennon added: "The second line goes, 'No one I think is in my tree.' Well, what I was trying to say in that line is, 'Nobody seems to be as hip as me, therefore I must be crazy or a genius.'" (thanks, Conrad - Los Angeles, CA)

Lennon wrote this while he was in Spain working on a movie called How I Won The War. He house where he stayed was in Almeria, which is in the southeast corner of the country. (thanks, Michelle Hardman - Leeds, England)

A distorted voice at the end sounds like "I buried Paul," which fueled rumors that Paul McCartney was dead. The voice is actually Lennon saying, "Cranberry sauce." Over the end credits of the Simpsons episode "D'oh-in In The Wind," you can hear Homer saying "I buried Flanders" in reference to this. (thanks, Tommy - Flower Mound, TX)

There is a memorial to Lennon in Central Park called "Strawberry Fields." It is located across from The Dakota, the building in New York City where Lennon lived.

John donated money to Strawberry Fields before his death. One of its buildings is named "Lennon Hall."

This was released as the flip side of "Penny Lane." The Beatles often released singles that contained a song written by Lennon on one side, and a song written by McCartney on the other. Which single was considered the A-side was sometimes a point of contention.

This was the first Beatles single to break their long-running streak of #1 hits in the UK. If they had not released it with "Penny Lane," they would have beaten the existing #1 by a large margin, but stores recorded sales for one side of the single or the other, which hurt the chart position for this song.

Two versions were recorded with different instruments and spliced together to make one song. Where Lennon's vocal wanders during "going to;" after that point, the second take is slowed down, which causes the vocal to have more of a nasal sound.

The story goes that John Lennon couldn't decide on which of the two versions to release, so he left George Martin with the instruction to try an put them together. Martin was flabbergasted - they were in different keys and different tempos! But he found that by speeding up the first part and slowing down the second, he could made the two roughly match. The "magical mystery" edit occurs at exactly :59 seconds in, between the words "Let me take you down, 'cause I'm" /edit/ "Going to.. Strawberry Fields." Be cautious in listening for this edit! You will never hear this song the same way again. Martin was never completely pleased with the edit, but it just goes to show how creative and innovative the aging geniuses had become by the late '60s. (thanks to Dwight Rounds, author of The Year The Music Died, 1964-1972 )

John Lennon played the intro to the song on a Mellotron. The Mellotron is a keyboard that triggers loops of recorded taped instruments at different pitches. It is not a synthesized sound at all, but recordings of actual instruments. This song used flutes as the tape loops. The unique sound comes from warble in the tape during playback. Strings were another popular tape loop used in the Mellotron, used by the Moody Blues on Days of Future Passed. (thanks, Michael De Lazzer - Studio City, CA, for above 2)

This was the first pop song that faded to silence and then came back. The fake ending drove DJs nuts.

The working title was "It's Not Too Bad." (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington)

Just after Lennon sings, "Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to," there is a series of beeps which, in Morse Code, form the letters "J" and "L." (thanks, Buddy - South Bend, IN)

On January 30, 1967, The Beatles shot a promo film for this song, which was one of the first and most successful music videos, featuring stop motion animation and other special effects. It was filmed in and around Knole Park, an estate owned by the National Trust, near Sevenoaks in Kent. The tree that features prominently in the video is behind the park's birdhouse. The director of these videos was Peter Foldmann, a Swedish friend of Klaus Voormann, who was associated with the Beatles in their early days in Hamburg and later designed the Revolver album cover. The following day the Beatles filmed a promo film for "Penny Lane" also at Knole Park.

Peter Gabriel covered this in 1975 on the compilation All This And World War II.

"Strawberry Fields Forever" is the name of a US fan club that publishes a popular Beatles magazine.

Cyndi Lauper performed this at the Strawberry Fields memorial in Central Park as part of the 2001 special Come Together: A Night For John Lennon's Words And Music. Proceeds from the show went to victims of the September 11 attacks on America.

It turns out Strawberry Fields is not forever. In 2005, Britain's Salvation Army closed the Strawberry Field children's home in Liverpool, stating that it's preferable for children to be raised in a foster or small group home instead of a large orphanage. The home opened in 1936, and Lennon left money to Strawberry Field in his will. His widow, Yoko Ono, donated the equivalent of $70,000 in 1984 to keep the home open. Only 3 children remained in the home in January 2005, when the Salvation Army announced it would close. (thanks, Tom - Seneca, SC)

Vanilla Fudge does a series of fractured covers of this song on the second side of their debut album. It is split up into four parts, titled "STRA" "WBER" "RYFI" and "ELDS." At the end of their cover of Eleanor Rigby, they sing "Nothing is real" and "Nothing to get hung about." (thanks, Jim - Oxnard, CA)

Richie Havens opened the Woodstock festival in 1969. He performed this and "Hey Jude " in his set.

The Victorian house at the Strawberry Fields orphanage in Liverpool was torn down in 1977, and was replaced with a rectangular house named Lennon Hall.

Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails owns the Mellotron played at the beginning of this song. (thanks, Leslie - Mountainville, NY, for above 2)

On an episode of the TV show Lost, the character Charlie Pace has some lyrics to this song on his arm. The tattoo reads, "Living is easy with eyes closed." (thanks, Hermione - Los Angeles, CA)

George Martin revealed at a 2008 LA presentation for members of the National Recording Academy of Arts and Sciences, that Lennon told him before he died in 1980 that he wished he could re-record everything the Beatles ever did. When the astonished Beatles producer asked, "Even 'Strawberry Fields?,'" Lennon answered, "Especially 'Strawberry Fields!'"

On this track, George Harrison played the swarmandal, an Indian instrument that some say sounds like a harp, but actually has more

Smoke Lyrics

She comes rolling right off the tip of my tongue so easy
She'll be the first damn thing I want when I start drinking
I'm breathing her in, breathing her out, once I pick her up I can't put her down

She's Smoke
I pull her in nice and slow
She's a habit and I can't let go
Blowing rings around my heart
The one she stole
Watching her sway and go
It's killing me and I know
Can't stop her once you start
She's smoke

She'll go floating around like a downtown ballroom gypsy
She goes great with ice cold beer or a shot of whiskey
Put one in my hand, her on my lips
Man, that's as good as it gets

She's smoke
I pull her in nice and slow
She's a habit and I can't let go
Blowing rings around my heart
The one she stole
Watching her sway and go
It's killing me and I know
Can't stop her once you start
She's smoke

When the night burns out
And we all go home
Smell of sweet perfume
All over your clothes
Like smoke, ooh, ooh
Like smoke ooh, ooh

She's smoke
I pull her in nice and slow
She's a habit and I can't let go
Blowing rings around my heart
The one she stole
Watching her sway and go
It's killing me and I know
Can't stop her once you start
She's smoke
She's smoke

When the night burns out
And we all go home
Smell of sweet perfume
All over your clothes
She's smoke, ooh, ooh
She's smoke, ooh, ooh

Smoke Song Chart

A Thousand Horses was founded in 2010 in Nashville by longtime friends, vocalist Michael Hobby and lead guitarist Bill Satcher (both natives of Newberry, South Carolina), along with rhythm guitarist Zach Brown and bassist Graham DeLoach. This ballad is their debut release.

The song finds Hobby comparing his desire for his lover to the addictiveness of tobacco. They recorded the track along with the rest of their debut album, Southernality, at Zac Brown's studio in Nashville during September 2014.

This was one of the last songs written for the Southernality album. "I wrote it two days before we went in and cut," Hobby recalled to The Boot . "I got the demo that night, and I was really excited about it, so I sent it to all the guys. The next day they were like, 'We need to put this song on the record,' because it felt like a special song."

"You never have any expectations of a song, how well it will do," he added. "But, we just all liked it. We wanted to play it; we wanted to cut it."

This was the first debut single by a group to top the Billboard Country Airplay chart in the 2010s. (The last act to do so was Zac Brown Band with their debut single "Chicken Fried" in 2008).

Tomorrow Never Knows Lyrics

Turn off your mind relax and float down stream
It is not dying, it is not dying

Lay down all thoughts, surrender to the void,
It is shining, it is shining.

Yet you may see the meaning of within
It is being, it is being

Love is all and love is everyone
It is knowing, it is knowing

And ignorance and hate mourn the dead
It is believing, it is believing

But listen to the colour of your dreams
It is not leaving, it is not leaving

So play the game "Existence" to the end
Of the beginning, of the beginning

Tomorrow Never Knows Song Chart

The title came from an expression Ringo Starr used. They chose it to take the edge off the heavy philosophical lyrics. Working titles for the song before Ringo gave them inspiration were "Mark I" and "The Void."

John Lennon wrote this, and described it as "my first psychedelic song." It was inspired by Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert's book The Psychedelic Experience, which Lennon would read while tripping on LSD. Lennon recorded himself reading from the Tibetan Book of the Dead, played it back while tripping on LSD, and wrote the song.

Each Beatle created strange sounds which were mixed in throughout the recording, often backward and in different speeds. McCartney had the idea for using tape loops to create effects.

This used 16 tape loops. Several people remember standing around the room holding pencils for the tape to loop around and back into the recording machine as the various sound effects and instrumentation were faded in and out.

The vocals were forced through a Leslie (revolving) speaker. Lennon desired the effect that the listener could hear the words but not hear him, like a group of Tibetan monks chanting on a mountain top.

John Lennon used only one chord in this whole song, which creates a hypnotic feeling. For his vocals, he asked producer George Martin to make him sound like the Dali Lama.

This was the first track recorded for the album yet the last on record.

There are 2 guitar solos on this song - both were heavily processed.

On May 6, 2012, this song was featured in an episode of the popular American TV series Mad Men. The episode was set in 1966, and part of the plot was the ad agency in the show helping a client capitalize on Beatlemania. This was a big deal, since Beatles songs are very rarely licensed for TV shows - at least in their original versions. Cover versions and performances (think American Idol) show up from time to time, since those just have to be approved by Sony/ATV, which owns the publishing rights. Getting permission to use an actual Beatles recording requires permission from Apple Corp, which is controlled by The Beatles and their heirs.

The Wall Street Journal reported the payment for the song at $250,000, and Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner had to reveal to Apple exactly how the song would be used, which was a big deal since he is very secretive about scripts. In the episode, the main character Don Draper has trouble adapting to changing musical times. He plays this song to see what all the fuss is about, and after character-developing montage while the song is playing, he switches it off. The song then comes back to play over the closing credits.

Phil Collins covered this on his debut solo album. Like The Beatles did on Revolver, Collins used it to close the album. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Our Lady Peace remade this song for the soundtrack to the movie The Craft. It's played during the opening credits. (thanks, Patrick - Bremen, GA)

Oasis gives a tribute to this in their song "Morning Glory" with the line "Walking to the sound of my favorite tune Tomorrow Never Knows what it doesn't know too soon." Oasis is well know for their similarity to the Beatles. (thanks, Dominic - Pittsburgh, PA)

This song is featured on the 2006 Beatles album Love (a soundtrack to the Cirque du Soleil show based on their music) remixed with "Within You Without You." (thanks, Ryan - London, England)

You know he don't fit, he ain't tailored for you
You just on a nigga dick cause cause he sold a brick

Not For Long Song Chart

B.o.B raps here about a girl he is attracted to and desperately wants. He is confident she will be with him despite the fact she is dating someone else. The rapper declares to her, "You know he don't fit, he ain't tailored for you."

A similarly brash Trey Songz croons the hook in which he states the girl might be somebody else's, but "not for long" as it's he who is her type.

The song was produced by Glee Assistant Music Producer Mark Nilan Jr. with P-Lo, who is a member of the production team The Invasion. The pair previously teamed up to supply the beat for Kevin Gates' "In My Feelings."

I Want To Tell You
My head is filled with things to say
When you're here
All those words they seem to slip away

When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's all right
I'll make you maybe next time around

But if I seem to act unkind
It's only me, it's not my mind
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time

Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell
Maybe you'd understand

I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind
I could wait forever, I've got time
I've got time

George Harrison wrote this. He said it's "About the avalanche of thoughts that are so hard to write down or say or transmit."

This was the first Beatles song where the bass was overdubbed after recording.

The working titles for this song were "Laxton's Supreme" and "I Don't Know." (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

George Harrison later said that if he was to rewrite the bridge section he would have written: "Although I seem to act unkind/It isn't me - it's just my mind. That is confusing things."

Help me out, I need escape
It's the truth, I got to go
With all the boys in the back I lay
And all my girls in the super store
Because we need electricity,
City lights gotta glow for me
I want more than a car, I'm a queen
So get your shit, now we got to roll!

Let's go out of this town, too bored Hanging Around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down, ooh
Drums, bass turn 'em up loud,
Free fall, spinning around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down

Take the car and cut the brakes,
Driving out into the dark
Even though I love my mom and dad,
I wanna swim out there with the sharks
I wanna learn to speak Japanese,
Razor-sharp on the silver screen
We were made for a limousine
So get your shit, and come with me!

Let's go out of this town, too bored hanging around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down, ooh
Drums, bass turn 'em up loud,
Free fall, spinning around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down

Blowing bubbles out in the grass
All tangled in the stars, getting faded in the back seat
You can be hanging with us,
We used to walk around the back street,
Swimming through some real heat
Fuck the dream, I want it for real!
Always make it look so easy, move into the city
Take a little sip of surreal,
We're much more than nothing,
Yeah we're all just tryin'a be who we feel!

(Ooh) Throwing cake up in the air, we don't care, no
(Ooh) Surfing on a silver wave, wanna let go
(Ooh) We're so bored of being here, we don't care, no
I wanna run, be wild and free, and with my friends standing next to me

Let's go out of this town, too bored hanging around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down,
Drums, bass turn 'em up loud,
Free fall, spinning around
Sky high, head in the clouds,
Never gonna come down

For No One Lyrics

Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all the words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried For No One
A love that should have lasted years!

You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she said her love is dead
You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be time when all the things she said will fil your head
You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years!

For No One Song Chart

Paul McCartney wrote this song sitting in a chalet while on holiday with his girlfriend Jane Asher in Klosters, Switzerland, March of 1966. The working title was "Why Did It Die," and there is speculation that McCartney wrote the song about Asher, who was a successful London actress. The theory is that Paul wanted her to cater to his schedule, tour with him, and be the "perfect Beatle wife," but Jane had a life and career of her own, hence the "She doesn't need you" lyrics. Paul has never said it was about Jane specifically, however he did say, "I guess there had been an argument. I never have easy relationships with women." He knew what he was getting into when he got involved with Jane, and being that the song was written in 1966 and they didn't break up until 1968, it's likely that if the song was about Jane, it wasn't a serious argument.

When he heard the title, Alan Civil, who played the French Horn on this, thought this was an orchestral piece called "For No. One" (thanks, chet - saratoga springs, NY)

This was recorded on May 9, 16 and 19, 1966 by only two Beatles - Paul singing and playing the keyboard and bass, and Ringo on percussion. (thanks, Dominic - Pittsburgh, PA)

Maureen McGovern recorded this and "Things We Said Today" as a 2-song medley for her 1992 album Baby I'm Yours.

McCartney used this in his 1984 movie Give My Regards to Broad Street.

Revolver was the last Beatles album to have different US and UK versions. In 2002, Rolling Stone readers voted it the greatest album of all time. The album cover was created by artist Klaus Voormann, who became friends with the band when they were playing clubs in Hamburg, Germany in the early '60s. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Drake's parents divorced when he was five years old, after which his mom, Jewish Canadian educator Sandi Graham, raised him in Toronto. This maternal ode recounts various conversations between the rapper and his mother, who still plays an important role in his life. Drake gives joint credit to his mom and Toronto for helping him cope with all of the issues he had growing up and enabling him to become the man that he is today.

The titular '6' is Drake's nickname for Toronto. It is thought to be derived from the city's area codes, which both feature the number six (416 and 647).

I'm in love and it's a sunny day.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
We take a walk, the sun is shining down,
Burns my feet as they touch the ground.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
And then we lie, beneath a shady tree,
I love her and she's loving me.
She feels good, she knows she's looking fine.
I'm so proud to know that she is mine.

Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine,
Good day sunshine.

Good Day Sunshine Song Chart

Paul McCartney wrote this on a sunny day at John Lennon's house. It was influenced by the Lovin' Spoonful, who had a happy hit with "Do You Believe In Magic?"

The actual Lovin' Spoonful hit which inspired this song was "Daydream," a famously carefree, upbeat tune. McCartney confided in interviews that it was intended to evoke "the same traditional, almost trad-jazz feel" and that "Good Day Sunshine" was Paul's effort to write something in the same spirit.

The song was recorded over two days, with the first day being the bass, piano, and drums picked best out of three takes, then the lead vocals (Paul, George, and John) dubbed over that. On day two, Ringo added more drums, producer George Martin added the piano solo on a tape recorder running a step slower so it would sound sped-up, and more harmonies and hand claps were added.

An early use of stereo, the chorus bounces between the left and right channels at the fade.

Covers for this song include Claudine Longet, who charted with it in 1967 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and the Scottish singer Lulu on her 1970 album Melody Fair. McCartney himself also rerecorded it for his 1984 film Give My Regards to Broad Street.

Rolling Stone ranks Revolver at #3 on its 2003 list of "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time," second only to the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. "Good Day Sunshine" received a lot of praise individually from critics, even out of all that.

This song is a popular pick for the wake-up music on space station missions. In November 2005, McCartney himself played it live to the crew of the ISS. Guess you might as well have a sunny, happy number to start your day when you're crammed into living space the size of a bus surrounded by infinite vacuum.

Ringo can be heard to mutter something here on the final verse, right after Paul's "she feels good" line.

What Kind Of Man Lyrics

I was on a heavy tip
Try'na cross a canyon with a broken limb
You were on the other side, like always
Wondering what to do with life

I'd already had a sip
So I'd reasoned I was drunk enough to deal with it
You were on the other side, like always
You could never make you mine

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What Kind Of Man loves like this?

To let me dangle at a cruel angle
Oh, my feet don't touch the floor
Sometimes you're half in and then you're half out
But you never close the door

What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?

You're a holy fool, all colored blue
Red feet upon the floor
You do such damage, how do you manage?
Trying to crawl in back for more

And with one kiss
You inspired a fire of devotion that lasts for twenty years
What kind of man loves like this?

What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?
What kind of man loves like this?
What kind of man?

But I can't beat ya, 'cause I'm still with ya
"Oh mercy", I implore ("oh mercy", I implore)
How do you do it? I think I'm through it
Then I'm back against the wall

What kind of man loves like this? What kind of man?

What Kind Of Man Song Chart

This song finds a frustrated Florence Welch singing of a wishy-washy man. "You were on the other side, like always, wondering what to do with life," she sings to her "holy fool" of a lover. Welch wrote the track with singer-songwriter Kip Harpoon, a songwriter she collaborated with on her 2011 hit "Shake It Out." His other credits include Calvin Harris' "Sweet Nothing" and Jessie Ware's "Wildest Moments."

The song finds Florence Welch moving into classic rock territory. She said the tune along with much of the rest of the album represents a new guitar-driven sound for her. "It's got very loud guitars and that was very fun to record actually," Welch said. "Trying to get exactly the right tone of guitar - I never realised how complicated that is."

"It took us forever," she added. "Every day there'd be a different guitar sound. We ended up layering with three different guitar sounds, one on top of the other, in order to create this one song."

This is one of several tracks that Welch wrote for How Big... at Chateau Marmont, which can be found on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. Throughout the years, the hotel has gained recognition as a popular location for rock stars and actors - John Belushi, for instance, died of a drug overdose in one of its garden bungalows. She told NME: "LA is a total dreamland and it played a big part in this record. There is definitely a portal to the underworld. There are two if you're not careful."

The video is a short film, that starts with Florence Welch and a man talking about how suffering brings people closer together as they drive down a country road. We see their tumultuous relationship unfold as scenes of the couple driving at various points in their time together are mixed with examples of Welch involved in other unhealthy affairs. "Suppose if you've been through something catastrophic, like a storm or an earthquake together, something horrendous… it'd bring you together. But what if they are creating disaster within themselves?" asks Welch in the clip.

The clip was inspired by Florence Welch's own experience of a toxic relationship. "For that video, we were thinking about ideas of purgatory and Dante's Inferno," she told Billboard magazine. "Because I was in this purgatory with this man. That push and pull thing where you are just stuck and you're like, 'Why do we keep doing this to each other?'"

"It's an aggressive song, but I can see my own part in the whole process," Welch added. "I was just as crazy as he was. People think the men in the video represent my ex-boyfriends, but they really represent a lot of different forces that weren't working for me."
