At a preview show at the Brooklyn Academy of Music last month, the stage heaved with flowers and moss and baby’s breath hung overhead, like clouds. Her fall tour for “High as Hope” is her biggest yet, with headlining stops at arenas like the Hollywood Bowl and Barclays Center in Brooklyn. “It was like this cocoon that I could go into.” “You know, having an overactive mind and overthinking stuff, and being anxious - ever since I was a kid, if I had a song that I could follow, everything would become very calm,” she said. In the hotel lounge, she spilled her secrets in a voice loud enough to demonstrate she didn’t care who else heard she has the surprisingly rare ability, as an artist, to translate how her emotions and music intersect. Over a two-hour conversation, she laughed often, and robustly. Welch said, “but mainly about someone not replying to my text.” The song “Big God” is about “obviously, an unfillable hole in the soul,” Ms. Welch herself is bad with directions (she gets lost even in the grid of Manhattan, she said), her music has an urbane sense of geography, skittering from scenes in a rainy Los Angeles to a bleak Chicago and a nostalgic London. The album has its share of songs about wanting, and love, though not always romantic love - “Patricia” is about Patti Smith, whom Ms. “I could fall in love with a plastic bag, if it paid me some attention,” goes one, with a sketch of a heart-adorned bag. She starts with the lyrics, filling graph-paper journals at home, some of which are replicated in her book, complete with whimsical doodles. “I thought that I would just cement it,” she said, “because maybe if I just had it on there, I could own it somehow, make it a part of myself, or embrace that part that I find difficult.” Welch, the effervescent leader and songwriter of the British rock band Florence and the Machine, has made a specialty of wringing joy from despair, so she didn’t think twice about exposing her loneliness. She wrote a poem about it, “New York Poem (for Polly),” which contained a line that became the title of the fourth Florence and the Machine album, “High as Hope”: “Heady with pagan worship/of water towers/fire escapes, ever reaching/high as hope.”Īnd yet there she was, in an East Village tattoo shop, getting that sad phrase inked on her body while her friend (Polly) looked on. She’d spent a blissful day traipsing around New York with a close friend, visiting bookstores, savoring ice creams and coffee, feeling enamored and alive with the city’s possibilities.
