“She makes you believe that magic exists on planet Earth because she is magical, from her voice to her presence to the way she moves,” says actress Blake Lively, Welch’s close friend. “The way she tells a story with every part of herself – really, she is unlike anyone I have ever seen. Onstage, there is such a ferocity that comes out in the way she communicates, and in person, there is such delicacy. It’s amazing how she can be both these things simultaneously.”

“The scariest thing is, I used to think what made me creative was the fact I was a big hedonist. But towards the end, it was actually quite hard to make songs because I was in so much pain and all I was writing about was: ‘How do I get out of this trap?’ The theme of my writing was like: ‘I’m stuck, I’m fucked, I don’t know how to make this stop. Help, help, help!’ I sort of stopped [the abuse] just before I made the track ‘How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful.’ To show people this side of yourself, which is so frightening to you, and for people to accept it with love, and to sing it with people, was a really big catharsis. So I just found that my brain was more open. I just kind of wrote it down and let it all go.” – Florence Welch photographed by Quentin Jones for Elle UK (November 2017) [ x ]
