No one mixes dread and dance like Chvrches- sadness never sounded so fulfilling.

This is truly one of the best album openers ever

I can't wait to hear entire crowds chanting "You still matter!"

[gizmomac]

I had a friend once. She was smart, kind and brave. She made me realise who I am supposed to be. But, I lost her. I hurt her and tried to prove her wrong. And, at the end, I fully realised that I was wrong, and she was right. I am so sorry, and I take full responsibility and accountability. I know it's too late now, but the past is in the past, and it isn't meant to last... So, I dedicate this song to all of my friends I have lost in my lifetime, and especially a woman named Tempest. You were my "asking for a friend". I'll always be thankful. You made me realise that I am brave and strong, and to overcome my personal struggles. I hope you are doing better in your life.

I'm a metal drummer, grew up a huge metal fan, but this band, their sound, infectious.

[Wackaz]

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.

[Zankaru]

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

[messybestie-di]

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.

[patmos]

I'm crying!!!, this is pure this song makes me feel everything!!

[SpruceCampbell]

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!!

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.

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!!!!

[DavidAltamar]

Amazing. Chvrches is here. Stronger than ever.

🎼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]

Thanks guys, never thought sadness could sound such a bop

[bearlyacoustic]

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. ✨

[porkman]

2:19 "You still matter" part went straight to my heart. God damn :(

[abqnm]

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!

[MarcoCarrilloVlogs]

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

[kupo]

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.

[stereocandy]

One of the greatest opening tracks. Album is end to end gold.
