Florence And The Machine Releases A New Video For “Sky Full Of Song” [VIDEO]

Florence and the Machine released a video for “Sky Full of Song” on Thursday.

This is the first track Florence Welch‘s band has released since 2016. The song is mostly a cappella mix with strings and piano. It has powerful lyrics filled with aggression, longing and angst. Welch sings, “I was screaming at my father, and you were screaming at me. I can feel your anger from way across the sea. I was kissing strangers, I was causing such a scene.”

In a statement, Welch described the feeling of being “cracked open” while performing. “Sometimes when you are performing you get so high, it’s hard to know how to come down,” she said. “There is this feeling of being cracked open, rushing endlessly outwards and upwards, and wanting somebody to hold you still, bring you back to yourself. It’s an incredible, celestial, but somehow lonely feeling.”

In the black and white video directed by AG Rojas, Welch lies down for the majority of the video until the end where she looks in the direction of the sky. A symbolic line, “Hold my down I’m so tired now, aim your air at the sky,” repeats through the song.

This release came after the death of Timmy Matley of the U.K top-charting band The Overtones on Monday.
