Anders Ippoliti - A Message to Florence

You are so amazing: a compassionate, empathetic, beautiful, genuine, creative, warm human being. I hope I will be able to talk to you some day…

Dear Florence,


Yesterday, I went to your concert at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm. It was the most amazing experience ever!

I just wanted you to know that you are my anchor in a life where it has often felt as if I was a ship to wreck. It feels as if How Big How Blue How Beautiful has been written and created to describe / give vision to my feelings. Songs like What kind of Man, Shake it out, Which Witch, Cosmic Love, The End of Love, Hunger, Never Let me Go, Breaking down, really speak to my soul. You touch the very depths of my spirit and you are my inspiring muse in my writing.

When writing my second novel which is a sequel of an autobiographical memoir, I was deeply influenced by the song St. Jude and Ship to Wreck, actually by the whole album. Sky full of song describes my current state of mind/emotional situation. You are so amazing: a compassionate, empathetic, beautiful, genuine, creative, warm human being. I hope I will be able to talk to you some day. You saved my life. ❤️ Anders
