Creative, ethereal musician Florence + The Machine decided to release this track last week as a way to bring some hope into a world that is struggling. All proceeds from this song are being donated to the UK's Intensive Care Society to support frontline healthcare workers as they fight against Coronavirus.

The song opens up about experiencing the lonely feeling of being lost and wandering through dark times. But it slowly grows and swells to an uplifting exhortation:

Don't go blindly into the dark

In every one of us shines the light of love

Every one of us can use a little more encouragement these days, and this song brings that along with a healthy dose of honesty. It acknowledges the darkness and lack of hope that permeates the air lately, and the feeling of not wanting to face the day, but it reminds us:

And now we are awake and it seems too much to take

I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break

I want to look away, I want to look away, I want to look away

I must not look away

Don't go blindly into the dark

In every one of us shines the light of love
