A design for Florence + the Machine’s Only If For A Night created for the Secret 7″ charity event in aid of Teenage Cancer Trust. Designers, artists and illustrators were asked to design an album cover for a song by one of the seven bands or artists that were involved in the project, which were later auctioned off in aid of the charity.
The lyrics to me are about mourning and remembering those who have passed. Many cultures believe birds (particularly crows and ravens) are the souls of the dead that have returned to watch over their loved ones. The ethereal bird on the cover is that one of these souls that has returned to offer protection, only if for a night.
