‘Eclipse’ Song ‘Heavy In Your Arms’ Explained

Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine has explained to the Examiner, the meaning of the song “Heavy in your Arms” off the Eclipse Soundtrack.

‘Heavy In Your Arms’ I suppose is about the weight of love, and how sometimes it can be a burden between two people. . . . I felt this was a strong theme in theTwilight series – is someone being rescued or are they being condemned, and is the love you carry bringing you down? . . . I recorded it using a lot of strange reversed vocal samples and big hip hop piano. It’s basically inspired by 90’s hip hop and gospel choirs, like most of my songs.
