Florence Welch has shared an acoustic take on her new single ‘Light Of Love’, during isolation. She shared the track last week on behalf of the Intensive Care Society. The group provides care and support to frontline staff in the fight against COVID-19.

This evening, Welch took to her Instagram and posted the clip of her acoustic performance. Backed by an acoustic guitar, it appears Welch is singing in her bathroom. The post was captioned: “Thank you for all your kind words about the song, and for all your support for the Intensive Care Society,”

She adds: “I tried a little at home version for you.”

Welch talked about ‘Light Of Love’, saying: “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.”

The ‘Sweet Nothing’ vocalist added: “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.”

Recently, the 33-year-old singer shared a ‘collective poem’. The themes of the poem focus on solidarity and support during the quarantine. She drew on the messages of fans for inspiration. Welch reached out to her supporters, asking: “Please write one line you would like to add to a ‘Collective Poem’ and I will try and piece it together,”

She added: “If you are feeling afraid, anxious or isolated I send you so much love. I am feeling the same. But creativity is a small blessing.”
