Listen To Florence + The Machine’s New Track, ‘Light Of Love’
Florence Welch will be donating all her income from the song to The Intensive Care Society Covid-19 fund.
From the midst of lockdown in South London, Florence Welch have issued the previously unreleased song ‘Light Of Love’. Originally recorded for Florence + the Machine’s most recent album High As Hope, it’s a soothing sonic balm to help heal anxious spirits and you can check it out below.
Welch said of the track: “’Light Of Love’ never made the record but I thought it would be nice to share it with the fans at this time of uncertainty, and could be a good way to raise awareness for the Intensive Care Society COVID-19 Fund. And to show my love, respect and admiration to all those working on the front line of this crisis.
“The song is about the world coming at you so fast and you feel like you won’t survive it, but in actually bearing witness to the world as it is, it’s really the only place you can be of service. I found so many ways to numb myself out, to hide from the world, and although waking up from that was painful, it’s never been more important not to look away, to keep an open heart even if it hurts, and to find ways to keep showing up for the people that need you. Even from a distance.”
Florence Welch will be donating all her income from ‘Light Of Love’ to The Intensive Care Society Covid-19 fund and welcomes fans to make a donation if they are in a position to do so.
