Florence and the Machine released a 47-minute short film called The Odyssey, directed by Vincent Haycock.

Using a culmination of video clips from the bands 2015 album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, tracks include ‘St. Jude’ and ‘Delilah’ with the latest portion comprising of the final chapter set to ‘Third Eye’.

Tracking Florence Welch’s own heartbreak, she states that “we decided we would re-tell this story in full. We would re-claim this experience, re-imagine it and in some way perhaps I would come to understand it, to exorcise it. And so the Big Blue Odyssey began.” The film is extremely relatable and raw – the intense passion cuts through a battle both internal and external, and gives light to a new side of Florence that we have only heard about in her songs.

The Odyssey summons a dual sense of fertility and sombreness that reflects the central themes of How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful. “I was talking to [Vincent Hancock] about the record and the car crash of a relationship breakup I was going through. The highs and the lows of love and performance, how out of control I felt, the purgatory of heartbreak, and how I was trying to change and trying to be free,” she says. The pain to love and let go is shown with immense spirit, giving us all the feels this hump day.
