CHVRCHES - Final Girl

[@Melo-wv5ph]

The guitar in this song's chorus gives it such a unique character, feels like a totally new sound from CHVRCHES, and quite a good one at that

[@johnemm7680]

Guitar reminds of a Paramore sound

[@jonathanhamrick4128]

The guitar on the chorus is Marr level.

[@ogunaranda]

Reminds a bit to the INXS riffs

[@viniciusg4386]

Despite the fact that it is a new sound, deep inside it still reminds CHVRCHES style. That is awesome

[@theguywithabow]

Definitely, yet Lauren's voice pulls it right back to that Chvrches sound...very cool

[@BuzzLightyeear]

Classic Chvrches song, has it all: beat, melody, lyrics and vocals. Definitely my favorite one so far. Only time will tell.

[@sergiosimango1195]

Indeed

[@markomakela2360]

Churches has nice mix of new sounds and old school electric vibes.

[@davidstroh4268]

Agreed, my favorite on the new album

[@Washburne21]

It's actually pretty different from their previous stuff. This is an actual rock song. But it is also my favorite.

[@arturomontilla5073]

,,, and the entire album sounds like... ¡glory!

[@Blitzbrie]

The way she sings "you know that she should be screaming" followed by the synth hook returning just always evokes a visceral reaction in me. Just pure chills.

[@abbymalev5583]

EXACTLY

[@Blitzbrie]

@@abbymalev5583 So glad someone else gets it😭

[@CadillacDriver]

Calm down.

[@Blitzbrie]

​@@CadillacDriver what a weird thing to say in this context

[@CadillacDriver]

@@Blitzbrie lol, do you not understand what I mean? You said: "Envokes a visceral reaction". "Just pure chills". I said "calm down". Not "weird" at all; perfectly appropriate, as you sound all wired up and emotional.

[@TheIgorgc]

The chorus has such a palpable feeling of frustration and fatigue. Kudos to Lauren for channeling those feelings.

[@brodiz9277]

This and Violent Delights are just amazing.

[@MichaelDunnKat2017]

yazzz

[@Thefinalgrrrl]

I absolutely LOVE the fact that this song is inspired by the concept of Final Girl in horror movies (within the Slasher genere for the most part) and their strength for outsmarting and outrunning the killer, combined with what it's like to navigate society as a woman in the every day life. Sidney Prescott, Laurie Strode, Ellen Ripley, Sally Hardesty, Clarice Starling, Nancy Thompson, Sarah Connor, Grace Le Domas etc etc are so heavily channeled in these sounds. Thanks, Chvrches!!!!

[@Tusitala1967]

Lauren Milici has a book of poetry called Final Girl that you might like.

[@TheMalogBal]

I had absolutely no idea that was the message/inspiration, but i had always wondered... learning this is absolutely wild thank you for your comment

[@Thefinalgrrrl]

@@TheMalogBal So glad to know this!!! You just made my night!! 🖤

Lauren is an honorary FG. & a Queen

[@Clintercepted]

How is every new song yall create just absolutely wonderful?

[@SonOfAnarchy416]

Easy answer it's chvrches 😎

[@stefankrautz9048]

the lyrics have deepness, are more than "la la la yeah" and dont repeat after 30 seconds in the chorus... :)

[@MJ25709]

@@stefankrautz9048 yes really great writing, most of it, for me death stranding lyric really hit me to the core

This song literally saved my life by giving me the courage to leave my abuser for good.

[@abbymalev5583]

🙏YOURE STRONGER THAN YOU THINK❤

[@Deviantel]

One of the best on the album, it's so dreamlike and emotional. Sucks me right in

[@jmjung9]

This song gives me chills and butterflies in my stomach

[@patrickfitzgerald9589]

There's a webcomic called "Sleepless Domain" that I started to read just when this album came out. I immediately knitted this song and that comic together hard, and its just carried over since.

[@wisconsinfirenerd]

Bass line = goddamn incredible

[@arturomontilla5073]

¿No prey for the guitar in F.G.?

[@0xKruzr]

it plays off the guitar so perfectly.

[@Nickyp31113]

Correct! That bass line is dope af!

[@jhawmemmy9782]

Paramore regrets not writing it

[@theamazingnetwork4023]

This sounds like it came straight out of the 90's, Great song.

[@justabitofjunkie]

What? Wrong decade.

[@rouxroux]

This track and Asking for a Friend make this album a masterpiece.

[@dxmyr]

i'm 7 seconds in and i literally had to pause, i can already tell its gonna be one of my favorites

[@joshperson3317]

and lullabies IMO!

[@guzcurtis]

And Violent Delights

It's official, this is their best album!!!

[@lalo66638]

Damn yes!, So many groups give us their feelings in consecuence of the pandemic era :')

[@oxsila]

Best song on the album. That intro is something else

[@ProjectPersephone]

To me it sounded like a bit of a throwback to bands like Simple Minds -- and that's /good/ thing. Maybe it's time for them to move on to a bigger sound.

[@oxsila]

@@ProjectPersephone i can definitely feel that vibe. Maybe that's why i like it so much lol

[@kakamaru5]

Top 3 Chvrches song ever me thinks

[@Nickyp31113]

Great song with a bass line that straight rips! Nightmares is my favorite. There's another thing though, this album is quickly and surely moving toward my favorite Chvrches albums! Not yet but just sayin. 😂❤😂❤

[@rg1283]

This album. My lord

[@00possum55]

Very incredible music.

[@Psynematic]

I'm a straight up metalhead to the core... but I came across this album and I gotta say, it's a nice change of pace from what I usually listen to and quite relaxing. I dig it 🤘

[@oxsila]

Curious why when someone listens to metal you usually label yourself as if it's a sin to listen to anything else? Isn't music just music? Either way enjoy!

[@skurinski]

@@oxsila its musical snobism. They act like we actually care that they only listen to metal lol. We feel bad for you actually, we're not impressed

[@oxsila]

@@skurinski speaking of snobism i'm a fan of some metal but i can't stand some fans who seem to be the chosen ones who decide what is and what isn't metal lol

[@oxsila]

@Matt C I don't believe I was that mean about it. It is a comment section after all.

[@gokuoder]

@@oxsila as a metalhead myself, I think it comes to the fact that majority of metalheads only listen to metal music and is really hard for some of them to find something that drags them out of that, it's like a way of saying that you find that different kind of music fantastic. It happens to me as well, I love chvrches

[@Papatoothwort]

I love that the track immediately following the Robert Smith feature sounds EXACTLY like it came straight out of The Cure’s discog.

[@lalo66638]

Yeah when I listened the album feels so good and goosebumps!

[@rommee]

IKR! Ran straight to Discogs to see if Robert Smith was secretly behind this ✨❤️✨

[@VictorGiordan2]

I am completely addicted to this song. I'm already waiting for more rock-ish songs from them.

[@alerojas5117]

I love the guitar and bass on this song

[@androidbango4416]

There's something quite Dubstar-y about the chorus of this one, especially the guitar melody. And that is definitely a good thing!

[@MephProduction]

i kept thinking it reminded me of something but couldn't place it... Dubstar might be it.

[@mayanroses1]

Love Is Dead had me worried. But when I heard this cut...I knew they still had it.

[@Rose_19911]

I still adore love is dead

[@everlastingsaturnalia]

I was stuck on their first album for basically the past decade. I basically ignored everything else they did because I couldn't get over how good the first album was. I've recently been going back through their discography and their last two releases were honestly really good, but this one is amazing. I'd say it's basically on par with their debut which is saying something! Their debut is one of my favorite albums of all time and I think it will always be my favorite of theirs because it holds a special place in my heart, but honestly this album is so fire and they knocked it out of the park. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@patrickfitzgerald9589]

The first album of theirs that I heard was the second one, which has one of the best one-two opening punches for an album I've ever heard. The third album was good, but it's taken a while for some songs to really mature in my mind. *Violent Delights* really brought me back to them big time. And then, I finally got back to the first one... And it's a good thing I heard them in that order, because the 2nd album would have disappointed me otherwise. The debut really monopolized my listening time for months!

[@truejohnsolo]

@@patrickfitzgerald9589 Yeah! You totally get what I mean. I'm glad I got into them when the debut was all they had, but I was stuck on it for a long time because it's so good. I really think this album was where they mastered their sound fully though. Amazing record! I still listen to it all the time ^_^

[@aaronfairbourn8280]

This is the best song on the CD and there were a lot of great songs on it.

[@c.ila5547]

Can’t explain how this song makes me feel. Amazing

[@ryanschlanser1657]

The best songs do this. Music can express emotions in ways words sometimes can't

[@MarissaCooperButPoor]

This has such a nostalgic vibe. I love how it uplifts me but also makes me want to tear up, the best songs do this.

[@tonguepetals]

This reminds of a song by an incredibly obscure band called The Spirits, it came out in the early 90s and was called Drive. It’s on YT, it’s such an underrated song. This reminds me of that song. So good. Lauren is a national treasure and needs to be protected at all costs.

[@rzzz5946]

Holy shit, I've been looking for that song for over 20 years! Thank you!!!

[@nightcross1030]

Is this the best song on the album? I might lean to "yes".

[@wilmawillmal]

Congratulations on the new album, every song is an absolute blast! Infinite thanks and greetings from Augsburg from Wilma and Theo!

[@JGordonAuthor]

I have - because of my ptsd soaked life - always associated with the Final Girl/Boy - this song caused me to break down in tears, it’s beautiful and I love it.

[@eccoweaver]

This is a really well done, really sad song

[@eccoweaver]

[@johnnym6700]

This whole album is total genius. In a totally different league to the older albums. Chvrches is now one of the best bands in the world.

[@richierich087]

WOW WOW WOW. I love her voice, especially the main chorus, it’s so smooth and her voice opens up perfectly. 1000% fantastic 🔥🔥🔥🔥

As always the best songs not released as singles. This needed to be the 1st and hopefully is included in tour!!!!

[@akabancopop]

This might be the best song they've ever written. Throwing the guitar into the chorus is brilliant.

[@naltarsh]

Swallowing the seeds of sins we sewed into the ground Keeping secrets until everything became a bit too loud I could wash it down I could drown it out By filling up the silence with an organ sound And by writing sentences I used to think were quite profound And it feels like the weight is too much to carry I should quit, maybe go get married Only time will tell And I wonder if I should’ve changed my accent Tried to make myself more attractive Only time will tell In the final cut In the final scene There’s a final girl And you know that she should be screaming Telling all the tales took time that I just do not have Sifting further through the wreckage, I think you just have to laugh Try to take it back As it turns to black Don’t want to find your daughter in a body bag So I need to get out now while most of me is still intact And it feels like the weight is too much to carry I should quit, maybe go get married Only time will tell And I wonder if I should’ve changed my accent Tried to make myself more attractive Only time will tell In the final cut In the final scene There’s a final girl Does she look like me? In the final cut In the final scene There’s a final girl And you know that she should be screaming now

[@solidkingcobra]

The bands you discovered and loved when you are growing up will never fade away. You'll be looking back at this album 20 years later with great nostalgia. So it's a pretty legit band/music to get into. This band has a timeless quality to it that I honestly think it will stand the test of time. If you can catch them live you just gotta. Work/beg/steal?(j/k) to catch a show if you can. I'm just an old bastard, but the band I enjoyed in my youth are still awesome to me.

[@83_is_the_magic_number...]

I always have a hard time deciding which album is the best so far. I always placed The Bones of What You Believe at first, obviously, since the album is full of great songs. Hard to decide whether Every Open Eye or Screen Violence is my second favorite album of theirs. This song always reminded me that Screen Violence is better than Every Open Eye. Just simply goosebumps every time I listen to this song.
