There’s clearly a story behind this video and it should be shared. It’s not just them singing a song. This is Karinya Chen. A 15 year old girl who had battled terminal bone cancer for 5 years. She was at “Hospice Austin” and had tickets to go see a Florence and the Machine concert. She couldn’t due to health concerns. But the hospice reached out to Florence and was able to explain the situation and Florence came to sing just to her. With that being said this day was clearly something very special and since unfortunately Kenya has passed away. These acts of kindness are what makes this world so nice to be in and makes us realize how precious not only life is but how important something as simple as music can be to us in times of need.

I'm sitting here in the comfort of my house, far removed from this poor girl's pain and situation, and I still can't keep it together. Nevermind singing a song like that for her and holding her hand.

Music is a universal language that transcends culture, race, religion and breaks the barriers between us. It is something we all can feel and understand and connect to. Through it we find a common ground where we can be united in hope, love and harmony with one another. This intimate performance might just be the very best example of that.

Be that which you seek and it will find you. Those who bring sunshine to the life of others cannot keep it from their own.

GOOD LORD THIS IS SO POWERFUL. Also makes me feel so stupid for sometimes thinking I have it hard. I come in from a bad day at work and think my life sucks because I have to work a job I hate. Then along comes this incredible woman laying in bed who would give anything to have my health and be able to get up and go to ANY job, however bad it might be. I can't imagine what this poor girl has been through. Yet just having someone she likes come in and sing a song for her is enough to forget the world, lay back, and enjoy the music and the moment. Kind of puts things in perspective. My little problems are so stupid. I have good health, good family, financial security, and many more years to give.

This is the most amazing performance I think I have ever seen. So raw and full of emotion and compassion. God bless Florence and the guitarist and the sweet angel who has passed on.

I’ve been bawling my eyes out over this video for 20 mins. I just can’t stop crying. Even in the hardest, final moments music can still touch the human heart.

I don't know how how she did it. I would be breaking down so hard. This is such a beautiful moment and so impactful for both of them. I am sure Florence was full of emotion during this just knowing how she came for this private concert. I love her so much for changing this beautiful girl's life like she did

I come back to this video every time I feel like I’m struggling or sad or angry or something. It makes me angry at myself for being ungrateful or being selfish. It makes me realize that I need to stop making excuses in my life for everything and do what I’m scared to do and work harder for what I want and be kinder and be nicer and be more grateful for everything I have.

I saw Florence live in New Orleans in 2015 and she was incredible. Her energy was insane. Probably the most passionate performance I’ve ever seen live.

I'm crying and I'm sure you're crying and there's no need to hide it! This was beautiful!

She's like a nurse giving a whole different kind of medicine. When she sits with her and sings directly to her giving her this intangible gift. THIS is the power of music.

Stoics cry, too. It might even mean more when we do because those tears are held and only released for the things which touch our souls. I cried, as well. Always do w/ this video - the emotion in that room bridges time and space. Here we are 7 years later and yet transported in time to join all the love in that room with our tears mixed in.

I cant believe this moment, im balling my eyes out. Thanks for putting it out for us

What an absolute all-time performance. Not just for the spectacular voice but for the meaning and care put into the whole thing. Amazing.

I have a handful of videos that I watch when I need to get my head on straight and get some humility and perspective. This is one of them. Yes Florence is lovely and incredible here - but Karinya’s light also shines so gloriously. You can feel that she was a beautiful young woman and it is impossible to accept that she had to fight cancer and die so young. And yet, we all stand skin to skin with the shadow of death every day, though we like to tell ourselves “not me.” Deep down, we know we are always on the razors edge and that someday, it will come. And I don’t know if it’s worse to fight the long battle she fought - or to die suddenly having never had the chance to come to terms with death, get Your affairs in order, and say your precious goodbyes. What I know is that this video and the incredible people who made it happen, her hospice in Austin, her friends and family, and yes Florence and her crew, has brought Karinya and her light and her fight into the hearts of so many. She will stand as a beacon to thousands, even millions, for always. A beautiful frail reminder of our own mortality and how precious each moment is. Strip away what doesn’t matter. Forgive. Expand and widen your circle of love so that you have it to hold you up when YOU are frail, let go of your petty hatreds and focus your energy on those who love you back - adore them, revel in them, take time for silence and nature and yoga and walking - as well as time for adventure and fun and doing what scares you! And do that one thing you’ve been meaning to do to make the world better. Start today. Stop making excuses and take the first three small steps so that when your time comes, you’ve left a small legacy - you’ve made the world just a little bit better by being in it. Expand your kindness. Get crazy generous and compassionate. Don’t get bitter. Practice your gratitude. Breathe in your life while you are still fortunate enough to have breath in your lungs. 💛. Thank your Karinya for sharing your vulnerable time with so many of us. Your light will not soon be forgotten. You mattered. We honor your beautiful smile, and your short but important life. May the good people who knew you wrap your mother up when she needs it. For no one could ever touch the pain of a mother who loses her precious baby girl. My deepest love to her and to you and to Florence and to everyone who watches this video. Kindness is the way. It is the only way. 💛
