"'Sky Full of Song'" is a song by English indie rock band Florence and the Machine from their fourth studio album, 'High as Hope' (2018). It was written and produced by Florence Welch, Emile Haynie and Thomas Bartlett. The song was released on 12 April 2018 as a 7-inch single for Record Store Day.
Background
Sky Full of Song was inspired by Welch performing on stage. She opened up that she feels an otherworldly sense of being. However, at the same time she feels a sense of loneliness once she starts performing on stage. At times she doesn't know how to enjoy herself and so lets the song take over her being. According to the Rolling Stone magazine Welch made a statement, that Sky Full of Song came to her fully formed. She said, Sometimes when you are performing you get so high, its hard to know how to come down. [...] There is this feeling of being cracked open, rushing endlessly outwards and upwards, and wanting somebody to hold you still, bring you back to yourself. Its an incredible, celestial, but somehow lonely feeling.
