Watch: Florence & The Machine - ‘Breath Of Life’

Florence & The Machine has unveiled the new video for ‘Breath Of Life’.

The track comes from the soundtrack to the upcoming feature film, Snow White and The Huntsman, which gets released in cinemas on the 1st June.

The clip itself sees a myriad of footage from the film itself, blended with a black and white film of Florence Welch and her band putting together the orchestral track.

The song seems inspired by the film’s character of the evil Queen Ravenna, played by Charlize Theron.

Florence Welch spoke to MTV News about the track: ‘The Queen is just this incredible character; so hungry for life but so dead inside. She’s sort of eternal, but inside there’s nothing. She’s kind of like charcoal or something. She has this thirst for youth and for life, but for what kind of life? This darkness, but she’s so beautiful, so it’s this kind of juxtaposition between beauty and, ultimately, death.’

‘We went in and demoed the track, these big, clattering drums, huge bass sounds and everything was very intense and then we sent that to the guys in LA who composed it. And it was amazing to see the music we played being turned into this amazing orchestral thing.’

‘You feel in a bit of a way like you’re kind of making it up as you go along, and then when you see it done, laid out before you in such a beautiful, orchestral fashion, it’s really incredible… I love choirs and I love choral music, and there was a 60-piece choir singing the vocal parts that I had written. When the baritones came in, I nearly wept, it was so emotional.’
