-You've written a book. This is a collection of drafts
of lyrics, drawings, things like that.
Is this something -- are you someone
who saves everything and constantly is keeping
your work with you as you travel?
-Yes. Yeah, I've always had notebooks all the time
and I'm always, kind of, writing things down.
Scraps of paper is one of the most important thing to me, so,
I keep everything.
But, yeah, when I was -- I would never lose notebooks.
Like, I would go out all night and I would lose keys
and phones and boyfriends. [ Laughter ]
But I would always come home, like,
clutching the notebook, like, this, kind of,
like wine soaked, battered up notebook, but I never lost them.
You know? -That's fantastic.
-Always managed to keep hold of it.
So, they are all in there. -That pays off.
Now, this is not your first experience in books.
You -- what age were you writing your spell books?
Is this accurate? -[ Laughs ]
Yes, I -- This is making me sound like such a weird kid.
[ Laughter ]
-We're already past the -- yeah. -Unsurprising.
People could guess. -Yeah.
-But, yeah, I started a -- I started a coven at school.
-A coven? -Yes.
A coven. -So, sort of like a wit--
a sorority for witches. -Yes.
[ Laughter ]
And we -- Yeah, I wrote a spell book.
There were spells in there.
There were, like, love spells.
-Uh-huh.
-Like, trying to get, like, the kid in the next class
to fall in love me. I don't know if he did.
-Oh, yeah. -If you're out there...
-If you're out there and have always had, like,
this longing desire for Florence,
that was the spell. -That was that.
[ Laughter ]
-I want to ask, you are gonna perform a song for us tonight.
This is a -- a very personal song.
When you are writing songs that, sort of,
have an emotional core to them,
is it more difficult because you are writing about yourself,
or is it easier because you
are connected to what you are writing about?
-Especially this song, I think --
A lot of these songs actually came from poems I was writing.
And when you are writing poetry, it's kind of --
it's more insular, but I play these funny tricks on myself.
There's this self deception that goes on where I'm like,
"Nobody has to ever read this. Just write it down."
We won't put it -- Certainly won't put it in a song.
I certainly won't talk about it on a talk show.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-But this, kind of, deception goes on,
and then I -- I write it down.
And, so, then it made it in -- its way into a song,
and I didn't think it ever would.
You know, I didn't think it was something I'd ever say
out loud or show to anybody.
But the fact that I didn't want to
seemed like it was probably important.
-Well, I'm so happy you are gonna sing it for us tonight.
And it really has just been so lovely having you here.
Please -- -Thank you.
-Please, come back again. Florence Welch, everybody.
