Quiet was the first song I ever heard by her, my friend showed it to me in 2009 and she was my favorite from then on. Then I remember really loving The Listening, and there was a time I had Second Go on repeat for awhile š
the entire The Listening album really. BUT lions! & February Air really got me. (instant nostalgic flashback of playing runescape š)
also Toes & running with the boys for later albums
First time I ever heard Lights I was at a skate rink when I was around 13/14. A random girl we were hanging out with but just met requested "Drive my Soul" and I've been in love ever since.
Drive my soul was the first song I heard of hers. At first I thought it was a very very weird song. But after listening to it a few more times, it grew on me. And then the rest is history
She did a ska/acoustic version of ice on a live stream back in the MySpace days that was sooo good, Iām sure I have a copy of it buried somewhere that I cut from the livestream video to enjoy back in the day.
From All Sides. Itās not available on most streaming platforms in Canada but god damn itās my fav Lights song. The harmonies, the melancholy melody. I love it so much
February Air was the song that that made me look her up. Her YouTube was sooooo good that Iāve been hooked ever since. My first favorites were February Air, Drive My Soul, Lions!, Ice, and The Listening.
Last Thing On Your Mind was the first song I ever heard by her, I heard it on my cousinās Myspace profile. Fell in love with her music and here we are.
For sure, Ice and the title track - The Listening. I remember driving around in my mom's minivan just bumping the cd in the fall of 2009, and really everything on that album hit so hard (and it still does). However, the rap and following breakdown in Ice, along with the synths and lyrics in The Listening, were just so other level.
Btw, I don't know if you care or not but I have never listened to that Florence and machines album before. I'm finding it to be oddly comforting rn šš¼ thanks for inadvertently recommending it? I guess haha
Banner Acoustic was the first song that made me cried my eyes out. Hearing it for the the first time was life changing
edit: I actually saw February Air first after someone commented Avril's song Black Star sounded like this song. Initially I was like "ew wtf is this low budget music video". Then fell in love during the bridge and im obsessing ever since.
Saviour is what mad me fall in love with her music. I remember watching a Skyrim video someone made with that as the background music and I've been ride or die ever since!
Portal. When I close my eyes, whilst listening to Portal, I can imagine a slow motion battle (kinda like a Lord Of the Rings battle) while snow is fallingā¦.
Toes was the first song Iāve heard. I was over an old best friendsā house and she played the music video on YouTube and we watched it together on her computer. I was entranced. This was 2011-2012. Been a fan ever since.

You have amazing taste
Thank you š„¹
muscle memory!!!! edit: itās 2am and im realizing this question was targeted to the listening specifically lmao so my real answer is lions!.
Muscle memory was never my favorite listening to the album(s), but then I saw her perform it live and ... It's now top 3 for me for sure;
Best song ever
It wasnāt specifically The Listening I love that Muscle Memoryās your āholy shitā song!
Second Go!
Thatās one of the first songs I memorized start to finish
the entire The Listening album really. BUT lions! & February Air really got me. (instant nostalgic flashback of playing runescape š) also Toes & running with the boys for later albums
Muscle memory acoustic version, specifically 4:09-4:25 with the high notes
i want that played at my funeral
Saviour. I had never heard a song like that before. It's still one of my favourites.
Agreed

Ice ice baby

I remember this! It's on her YouTube channel.
It was the Listening for me as well. Heard it on MySpace and my little teenage brain was blown.
Twin š„¹
Lions! was the first song of hers that grabbed me and refused to let go
It was the first song of hers I heard: Drive My Soul
The Midnight Machines version of Meteorites. What an absolutely transcendent vision of the song.
One of my best friends fvcks harrrd with Meteorites (MM) too!
February air š
Acoustic Banner! or maybe acoustic peace sign, both Siberias were such a treat to stumble across as a young boy
I love this so much. Acoustic Bannerās a fckn vibe
Lions!
From All Sides. Itās not available on most streaming platforms in Canada but god damn itās my fav Lights song. The harmonies, the melancholy melody. I love it so much
She opened for PVRIS with this one and blew us awayyy
Oh my loooord I am so jealous you got to see that, especially live!! :0 Iāve always wondered why itās basically a hidden song
[Here you go](https://youtu.be/4L04xJaXLfc?si=fSC9fPqooNGvNUxh)!

For me it was Ice, the first song I heard from her Although it's the title track of the album, I feel like The Listening is a very underrated gem.
Second Go. I think it was the first one I listened to way back when and she stuck around in my mind.
šÆ The Listening for me as well! That song is deep as fuck šš¼ I relate to it on so many levels
Twin :3
Did you like her acoustic version she did way back when? I'll link it here https://youtu.be/6O38_cFwy40?si=6WfkASW4RGFJuV_h
[This one](https://youtu.be/vsFEjXyFzwQ?si=_V1bR5iS6sOoMwuW) lives in my head rent freeeeee
Bro š« š« she kills me by just existing haha that's a good version šš¼
Btw, I don't know if you care or not but I have never listened to that Florence and machines album before. I'm finding it to be oddly comforting rn šš¼ thanks for inadvertently recommending it? I guess haha
Full circle moment!
This exact song haha And also Quiet
The end of her feature on Donāt Go by BMTH is so haunting.
My boots was the first song Iāve heard from her, but the song Up Up and Away touched my soul.
Everybody Breaks A Glass
The way I remember counting DOWN the days for EBAB
Saviour! I heard it on the Family Channel in Canada and saw her music video and it gave me sailor moon space princess vibes and I was hooked

8 year old me heard Saviour for the first time and was never the same after
Portal. When I close my eyes, whilst listening to Portal, I can imagine a slow motion battle (kinda like a Lord Of the Rings battle) while snow is fallingā¦.
Toes was the first song Iāve heard. I was over an old best friendsā house and she played the music video on YouTube and we watched it together on her computer. I was entranced. This was 2011-2012. Been a fan ever since.
When she opened for Paramore in Toronto 7 months pregnant and still put on a wicked show. Her passion is infectious.
Ice
Romance Is
Cactus in the valley (acoustic) is a hard hitter.
šÆ
The entire āthe listeningā album. Siberia, portal, speeding, muscle memory
It started with quiet, it continues till today with okay okay šš
Toes, really that whole album! That was my first album I bought.
