Florence And The Machine "Breath Of Life"

Florence And The Machine return with a new video for the bombastic new song "Breath of Life," their contribution to the upcoming summer blockbuster fantasy thriller film, "Snow White and the Huntsman," hits theaters on June 1st. The clip features additional bonus battle scenes from the highly anticipated film, including Oscar winner Charlize Theron sinking into a bath of milk and literally sucking the life out of people. If you need a little magic for your Monday, go nuts below.
When Florence Welch, the "Machine" frontwoman spoke to MTV News back in March about recording "Breath of Life," she couldn't hide her excitement about writing an anthem and drew inspiration from the perspective of Charlize Theron's Evil Queen Ravenna or getting to spend the day working with a 60-person choir in London's historic Abbey Road Studios, under the stewardship of American film composer James Newton Howard that she "almost cried" during the making of the tune.
"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," Welch continued: "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... When the baritones came in, I nearly wept, it was so emotional."
Besides capturing the 'Ceremonials' songstress Welch belting out the song and her bandmates lying down the soaring arrangement and the process of recording the single backed by a booming orchestra and a keening chorus, the black and white video features scenes from the film. And much like the song, it packs a punch. You can practically feel Welch's emotion as she brings "Breath" to life, and for a song so massive, the video provides viewers with a rather intimate look into its creation. Combine that with the fact that the clip and the song perfectly match the film's epic, ethereal scope, and the anticipation to see the final product only grows.
