Notes: The song features Florence Welch's soaring, ethereal vocals over dense orchestral layers with bombastic horns, muffled drums, and urging synth beats, creating a haunting yet hypnotic atmosphere. It builds to a gut-wrenching instrumental fade-out with deep percussion, eerie brass, and suspenseful strings.
