No one mixes dread and dance like Chvrches- sadness never sounded so fulfilling.
And that's why this band is so unique
No matter what you think about this album, you cannot deny that CHVRCHES never fail to open an album perfectly. They always master the intro track.
There unique
Nailed synth pop just like Roxette ... Different vibe ... Equally enjoyable
Good phrasing.
This is the best album opener I have ever heard, just blows the fucking doors off. Has to be my new favorite track from them. I've listened to this fifty times so far, havent finished the album because I keep coming back. 10/10
Likewise. Listening to it again and it just tugs at so many hidden areas in my brain. It's an incredible bit of lyric writing added to musical arrangement. Truly a masterpiece, especially the dark times we live in
Ikr How does one comes up with these masterpieces?? It so good... It makes living worth wild just to be able to experience these trance ❤️👌🏾
This is truly one of the best album openers ever
I can't wait to hear entire crowds chanting "You still matter!"
I will be in that crowd!
Too bad, we won't have any crowds due to this fucking virus out there. 🥺
@@bluesystemjackson We will eventually :)
Its no Graffiti but solid enough
@@johnemm7680 no this hits way harder than graffiti, I feel like this album is way better than the last as well
No matter what you think about this album, you cannot deny that CHVRCHES never fail to open an album perfectly. They always master the intro track.
Indeed. I wonder what they will play live at DC!
Yes, all their album openers so far are great (The Mother We Share, Never Ending Circles, Graffiti and Asking for a Friend) .
@@Mindphaser1 The Mother We Share and Never Ending Circles are unbelievably good openers, absolutely excellent and masterful in all honesty. I'm glad you agree my good friend.
I'm crying!!!, this is pure perfection!!!!!!, this song makes me feel everything!!
When I listened to this song for the first time the chills were REAL, combined with a mix of emotions. Very powerful, thank you so much!!!!
🎼LYRICS:
I don't want to say that I'm afraid to die
I'm no good at goodbyes, I can't apologise
And if I don't stop now will it follow me down?
I guess I have to try, it's the art of getting by
'Cause I sunk some ships with selfish lips
And it all came back to me
I was terrified, I never told them why
And the songs I wrote 'bout hearts I broke
Would never come for free
I cheated and I lied but I meant it when I cried
So what do you say when you lose your way?
The past is in the past, it isn't meant to last
But if I can't let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I'm asking for a friend
'Cause I filled my bed with my regrets
But it hasn't killed me yet
None of it mattered, none of it mattered
And the mess we made on Fridays
Gave me Sundays on my knees
But you still matter, you still matter
You still matter [*8]
I don't want to say that I'm afraid to die
The past is in the past, t isn't meant to last
But if I can't let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I'm asking for a friend
Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go? [*4]
Don't get why people write the lyrics we can all hear them 🙄
@@neilpalmer1722 For the non native who sometimes don't hear it all correctly :)
@@neilpalmer1722 Not everyone is a native english speaker.
@@mavairick that's right ✅ some times I can't understand the words correctly because of the music
Thank you so muchhh doing the good job for the community
I was privilege enough to watch this band at concert for the fourth time this year (1 for each album I suppose). I usually sing along to Chvrches , clap, jump around, and have a good time and such. But when Lauren performed this second to last song on the encore of the 2021 tour... I was just in awe. My jaw was dropped. I had this dumbfounded look on my face (good thing it was covered by a mask)... the raw emotion when she performed this song... I was having an experience. Like a profound artistic experience. I was witnessing a great piece of art.
California was my favorite song of the album, but this all instantly change when I witness that live performance. Watch it perform in real life... even though I heard this song so many times because it was the first song in the album.. but watching it... seeing her sing it live was like truly hearing the song for the first time ever. I hope that you guys will someday witness and experience what I felt on that day on December 16th of 2021.
Thanks for reading my TED talk.
Thanks guys, never thought sadness could sound such a bop
I can't get over how GOOD this album is!! I've been a fan since the Lies demo and this is easily their best since Bones. The build up in this song gives me chills & makes me tear up, classic CHVRCHES
The Song Gives Me Every Open Eye Vibes
By far my favorite from the album, the development in this song is utterly amazing
Officially my favorite Chvrches song now. Outstanding.
I know I'm late to the party, but thank Hideo Kojima for turning me onto this amazing band via Death Stranding. I cannot remember the last time I listened to an album and *immediately* fell in love with *every* song, but _Screen Violence_ is definitely one of those albums. I'm now completely obsessed!
I love how this opener differs from the traditional pop song structure
It embodies optimism, longing, hope, dread, anxiety, and anguish against ebullient beats, the kind of mask that people put on in front of others to cover up their sadness. Pure brilliance.
It has some Tether vibes. Loved this song! 🤘🏼♥️
I can't believe- I C A N N O T believe- I haven't discovered this band until now. I've been a huge synthpop fan for years, gigantic fan of The Midnight and you guys are exactly my type of music, yet somehow I just didn't know it all these years. I'm like a kid in a candy store here!
This track is A M A Z I N G!!
@@ShrineFox YEE!
You made it here in the end.
Yep, I came to know about them thanks to Death Stranding game.
I found chvrches like 9 years ago on indie night on a local radio station. The song I heard that got me? Recover. Then The mother we share. You have to listen to those. The mother we share is what skyrocketed them. And they still play it at every show.
Listen to all of their stuff, it's like The Killers, every album is great.
It usually takes me a few plays of ANY song before I can decide whether or not I like it. And sometimes I have to force myself to really hear the different melodies and lyrics to truly appreciate the song as a whole, but this was love at first listen.
same way.. it has taken me years to enjoy some Radiohead or Tool songs.
This seems soo true. 🤣 LMAO
Me too my friend, this goes for every CHVRCHES album intro. No matter what you think about this album, you cannot deny that CHVRCHES never fail to open an album perfectly. They always master the intro track.
@@qewpew5071 Radiohead songs are always love at first listen for me, but Tool are definitely something else. Tool offer often very pretentious music, resulting in me taking a while to appreciate their music.
AND it gets better with each listen
This song made me cry. Not sure why. Beautiful. Love chvrches so much.
I'm a metal drummer, grew up a huge metal fan, but this band, their sound, infectious.
Same here, I'm not a drummer though. I like electronic music with female vocals almost as much. If you like this, Purity Ring is better.
Same here except the drummer part... what is it about this band that attracts us metalheads?
@@Fernt Good production and good vocals, but the magic word is synth. We all know metalheads can get quite nostalgic at times. This band is a good combination between nostalgy and new, and still can keep their work solid and original. Still metal purists wouldn't ever even look at this band for a split second. I'm personally always happy when I find something new that allows me to change perspective and just experience something else. That's the type of metalheads this band draws to them.
@@tylerspunucious7420 i love both but i'd argue they aren't comparable
@@jaymatthews9324 yep I’m here
2:21 - *All the feels* - Reminds me of their best all-time drop on “Clearest Blue,” although this one builds-up so differently. - *CHILLS* - Literally shed a small tear of joy, despite the pain so evident in this song. - Absolute magic. ✨
I cried in the car with my wife while introducing this song to her. Chills every time.
ssssssssSSSSSUCH energy in this track! And that beat drop is epic indeed. Brings it back at 3:22 again with an extra layer. Love it.
I read my mind :3
Tears of joy. Isn't it amazing what emotions incredible music can bring?
Thought I'd slap this on and give it a full listen on a long journey, didn't expect to be almost crying on the motorway.
Amazing. Chvrches is here. Stronger than ever.
Best song on the album, sounds like something from The Bones of What You Believe 💪
2:19 "You still matter" part went straight to my heart. God damn :(
This song deserves a lot more likes and views.
The lyrics are so well written and you can feel the emotions in the synth and vocals!
Yes start 2:51 my favourite part💃🕺
This is definitely one of the best songs on the album, also such a great opener!
This song hits… really hard
I can't believe this hasn't had more views than this. It's such a visceral song from such an accomplished band.
Oh well, it'll be our secret delight.
I mean it’s not a single nor a music video, so the amount of views on the CZcams video are kind of meaningless. It’s easier to listen to this song by buying the album and ignoring the ads.
The lyrics keep getting stronger and stronger. See you on the UK tour!
when i heard this song i knew the album was going to be perfection.
This song gives me the strength to move forward.
I *love* the “You Still Matter” repetitions in this song. ❤️ Just perfect
It couldn't be any better, keep it up CHVRCHES!!
Perfect mix of death stranding and warning call. Legend
I love this song so much.
Honestly this album is simply amazing. No skip. Deep and meaningful lyrics. Beautiful melodies. It's like the old and the new CHVRCHES combined and offered us this beautiful body of work.
IKR!!!!
Their best yet
This song is deep. Love it. This whole album is just full of emotion.
❤❤❤ that's was awesome 👌
IVE BEEN LISTENING NON-STOP SINCE THE RELEASE. HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT.
I haven't.
Such an amazing song. Love the instrumental
Oh my I was stunned and overwhelmed! What instruments and arrangements! Perhaps it's gonna be my favorite song of theirs
This album was done with some of the band in L.A and others in Scotland. In other words it was done over Microsoft teams or zoom. For the next album I want them in the same room and I want the majority of the album to sound like the first album. With only three or four songs sounding like what came after
Could this be their best song yet...really hits deep
It has really a high chance
For me its still "Lungs".
agreed
For me it's " forever "..
@@benund5848 I don't get it, have you never listened to any of their other music? Lungs is terrible. They've gotten so much better since that first album. Is it you're just trying to act like you knew them before they were cool?
its like clearest blue gave birth to this masterpiece
Massively under-rated song. Love it
I know this isnt what the song intends, but i find it strangely uplifting/comforting
chvrches is so underrated wtf
I don’t want to say that I’m afraid to die
I’m no good at goodbyes, I can’t apologise
And if I don’t stop now will it follow me down?
I guess I have to try, it’s the art of getting by
‘Cause I sunk some ships with selfish lips
And it all came back to me
I was terrified, I never told them why
And the songs I wrote ’bout hearts I broke
Would never come for free
I cheated and I lied but I meant it when I cried
So what do you say when you lose your way?
The past is in the past, it isn’t meant to last
But if I can’t let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I’m asking for a friend
‘Cause I filled my bed with my regrets
But it hasn’t killed me yet
None of it mattered, none of it mattered
And the mess we made on Fridays
Gave me Sundays on my knees
But you still matter, you still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
You still matter
I don’t want to say that I’m afraid to die
The past is in the past, t isn’t meant to last
But if I can’t let go, will you carry me home?
Can we celebrate the end? I’m asking for a friend
Home
Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

Can we go?
Can we go?
Can we go?

Thanks
You guys never disappoint, this song makes me wanna dance, cry, laugh and all at the same time, this is a bop, thank you for everything
This, ahuevo
I feel the same
¡Never disappoint! (in my humble opinion) any of their four records. It´s a Cathedral this ChVrches fellows.
I thought I was the only one still used the phrase this is a bop... But if you had to describe a bop this song is it
Without Words...
love chvrches fans theyve literally always been very sweet and nice for the most part - like being at a family function with great music or smth
One of Chvrches most moving songs. It gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to it.
This song makes me imagine about promises of a friend to The Final Girl after all of the chaos is over but in the end the friend died so The Final Girl would leave on to carry their promises.
This sounds like their early work, what an amazing track!
My first fave off of a fantastic album, thank you chvrches
This record has reignited my love for them after their last album and is probably their best release yet since Bones. 😊❤️
This song just floors me, amazing.
I can't stop listening to this song, it's beautiful on so many levels.
Goosebumps
I dont understand why this song can make sad & happy at the same time?
Im very thankful for your music
Love from Singapore 🇸🇬
WHAT an opener. Crazy. Cool. Epic.
I'm so excited. This is just so painfully good!
Congratulations on the new album, every song is an absolute blast! Infinite thanks and greetings from Augsburg from Wilma and Theo!
Love you Chvrches!!
This kind of mixing synthsounds, 80's, dreads infected by gothic elements, a heartaking beat and bring it back to the 20's is just virtuosly. Amazing sound again powered by CHVRCHES!
I'm crying sounds amazing
X2
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm glad Lauren seemingly no longer feels the need to hide her delightful Scottish accent on this record.
Let that Glaswegian shine, you delightful Scottish wood nymph, you.
God! What a song ❤️
Pretty sure this is my favorite non-single off the album. I honestly haven't, at least yet, grown to love most of the tracks, but this one is definitely crazy awesome in production and lyrics.
I don't know how to describe it, but this song is like, a low-key bop if that makes any sense.
Best song EVER!
CHVRCHES is godly!
Welch ein geniales Lied von einer Band die so unterbewertet ist leider, aber ich bin totaler Fan und gehört zu meinen Top 5 Bands. Macht weiter so super Lieder
This one and California are the best from new album
This is sick
The song that introduced me to chvches, absolutely class❤️
Wow, so many other great tracks for you to listen to ❤️
YESSS!!!! Chvrches are BK..
. 😭♥️ Such good music, the Ablum release just in time for Forza horizon 5, Add the whole Ablum!!!! 🎶✈️🏎️
Any dark thoughts I start having. I put on Chvrches! Not a cure but help exponentially. I can't expire my ❤ please never stop!
I need this to open the tour so bad
This Breakdown, this Song, this Album, this Band... and Lauren ❤️ are fucking miracle from synth pop Gvd! 😊
This is one of the Chvrches songs that I most identify with, for over 10 years I don't know what it's like to have a friend! The only friend that always accompanies me is depression, it's like a shadow that scares me every day 🖤
I hope you've found a friend by now 🤞
And not just depression :(
this song was the first thing i thought about right after i finished watching Everything Everywhere All At Once!
Beautiful song and amazing album. You guys are the best!
They fed my 80s slasher obsession
My favorite song on the album!!!
This is an extraordinary album but this song and Better If You Don’t are a special kind of perfection.
Prob my favorite album opener from them…this song was a instant like for me on first listen and the album didn’t disappoint!
I absolutely love this song. Great Opener, fantastic new album. 😍
amazing.... when will i stop crying when i hear this
Listened to this one on repeat today (12/23/2021) after discovering it. So good ❤️
This is actually, scientifically, mathematically, philosophically and LITERALLY TOO GOOD!
I heard The Mother We Share in 2013 and fell in love with you. But this one, OMG it's even better! Hope to see you in Ukraine some time.
This is music that you can feel in your soul. I absolutely love this artist!
I love this album it is incredible every song on it what my confuse you is that I'm 63 years old and I absolutely adore it her Gaelic voice everything
Favorite
I'm in tears with how good this is. 🤧🤧❤❤
You guys are awesome, keep up the good work!
favorite song on the album. the dolby atmos mix kicks ass
😍😍🥺🥺😭🖤 Masterpiece!
I've had this on repeat for the past two days and it would've been longer if I'd known they dropped the album last week. I'm so late but this song is so fucking good 😭😭
Smashed it again, love this guys! Thank you
This will be a great song to light. your LD will like this one some where early in the set. 👍
