I could write so many words telling you why this song is amazing. Butt, ou probably already know that. Seeing this song live..it sort of takes you over in a way. It’s so dark and epic, you just lose yourself in it. The clip I’ve put here is not the best quality but it’s the only one I could frind from last Sunday’s gig in Birmingham that I was at. The best part is the beining when Flo sings Fever Ray’s If I Had A Heart (she needs to do a full version of that song!) and the end, where the whole band just put everything into the last minute of the song. Personally? I loved Florence taking one of what looks like the stage lights and holding it to the crowd. Wonderful. It’s an experience you all need to encounter. Like a rite of passage or some shit. You just have to do it. She played Blinding right after Cosmic Love. I swear a bit of me died there and then.

Again, the quality is not that great but it’s all I could find. Hopefully you’ll be able to see the bit with the light :
