English indie rock band, Florence + the Machine, have dropped their newest single, “Light of Love,” on Apr. 17. The song was written to raise awareness for the intensive care society, in effort to provide care and support for the doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals amongst the front line of the coronavirus pandemic.

The soulful song speaks with calming melodies and soft beats. The full sound created by the synth complements the voice of vocalist, Florence Welch. Her voice creates peace, as she warns not to go blindly into the dark. The catchy chorus preaches how everyone of us shines the light of love.

“Don’t go blindly into the dark,” Welch sings. “Everyone of us shines the light of love.”
