(Samir Hussein/Getty Images)Florence + The Machine dedicated its most recent music video to the people of Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion. "Dedicated to the spirit, creativity and perseverance of our brave Ukrainian friends," a message read at the end of the music video.
Additionally, the video was filmed in Ukraine in November 2021 and utilized the talents of Ukrainian filmmakers and artists "whose radiant freedom can never be extinguished," the video concluded.
Titled "Free," the music video features renowned actor Bill Nighy, known for his roles in popular movies such as "Love Actually" and Disney’s "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.
Nighy personifies Welch’s anxiety and seemingly — as the lyrics would suggest — picks her up and then puts her back down on a rollercoaster of emotions.
