CHVRCHES - Graffiti

[@Falcon256]

HOW is this song 5 years old!!!!

[@dxmyr]

feels like its been longer cause of how nostalgic it is

[@jaetguz]

It's the freaking way in which she sings "I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old..." is just beyond soothing and it sounds so right...so good. I would've extended the final chorus to two bars. It's the sweetest thing in the song!

[@Danzilla03]

Clever song writing

[@KyklopesMajestic]

CANT WAIT FOR THE REUNION BUT LAUREN IS RECORDING SOME INSANE MUSIC ATM.

[@desmondking9705]

This is one of the saddest songs i've ever heard yet i love it so much. It's not just "child romance". To me, this perfectly illustrates the pain of apathy. She (the narrator) has known someone her whole life and being with him makes growing old and even death seem ok. Every second promised a future that they both swore to share "graffiting our hearts across the stalls.", and then he just "moved on". As though it was some sort of a decision, yet no one ever said anything. It's like the pain of someone close to you dying, yet they didn't die, they just changed, and that person she once knew will never be with her again. "I've been waiting my whole life to grow old, and now we never will, never will." - it's not that they will never grow old, it's that now they will never grow old together. This is way to common among my generation. Except usually both sides are apathetic so no one ever feels it. It hurts too much to care.

[@tsiiphsycoii]

She shouldnt have race mixed. Statistically bound to happen!

[@byebbyeb1219]

i love this song!!! the line "when did we move on, i didn't feel it, nobody told me" still hits me so hard, maybe even more so now that so much time has passed. i also love the way the chorus sounds, it perfectly captures that feeling of longing for the past so much that it hurts, realizing after it's too late how the time slipped away before you even noticed. i like to see the part near the end (where it gets really quiet and she repeats 'never will') as her finally accepting it's over, then the last chorus is sort of like her saying goodbye to the memories. idk why some songs affect some people the way they do, but this is one i'll probably remember forever. thank you, chvrches, for creating this amazing song and sharing it with the world. ❤️

[@leea1988]

Lauren's voice. I'll never get over it ❤

[@KyklopesMajestic]

She's really sumthin' we are so lucky to share her music in our lifetime.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

And now we never will.

[@hammadlatiff]

The most underrated song ❤

[@cysthenmusic]

I really love this song, I know its supposed to be sad but that line "I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old, and now we never will" is one of the most beautiful happy lines I have ever heard in music. To the point where I have put on this Vinyl and danced with my Girlfriend and I plan to play it again with her someday if all goes well. I got her Dads Blessing yesterday wish me luck everybody. :P

[@dannysoto24]

I hope she said "si" and that you will never have to experience this in your marriage.

[@matasano20]

so... what did she say?

[@michaelvey3978]

There’s literally nothing sad about the song lyrics. What it means is the feeling of finding “love” awakens your inner child as if you’re not even aging. It means true love is an eternal happiness that never grows old

[@ryanbutler9474]

Rommel argotte she said gg

[@GodBroly]

Michael Vey that’s a cute thought but no it is literally about teen suicide unfortunately.

[@BlazeHerr]

Saw Chvrches in Portland 2 weeks ago. Amazing concert. If you’re here because you love their music don’t second guess it - see them live if you can. Especially when they play Clearest Blue

[@alpergmd1379]

Chvrches is one of the Most underrated bands.I love their music.I hope one day i can see them live .Loves from Turkey...

Cool

[@erinlopez-wood9131]

They're so worth seeing! Lauren is amazing

[@LunaSolaris13]

Ooh, it's an amazing feeling..., prefer live 100x better!

[@Dahnyule]

This band DOES NOT GET THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE. period.

[@Daniel48203]

i agree

[@ScottyRyan246]

Something feels so nostalgic about this. Thank you Chvrches for this art.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

A nostalgic song in the contemporary era is rare. It feels like the 80's again while listening to this.

[@DeeCeeCT]

CHVRCHES is a time warp for me and makes me proud to have grown up in the era of Depeche Mode, Howard Jones, and The Pet Shop Boys showing that electronic synth based music is emotional, heartfelt, and talented and not synthetic.

[@philipbaines7663]

Like èrasure bŕilliañt

[@blairoutlan6042]

holy shit, I fucking grew up on depeche mode man, my father was a huge OMD and DM fan . I implore you to check out Glass Animals album "How To Be A Human Being" they use a lot of analogue synths.

[@sundaynight1987]

so so so true, born 74

[@ChippyChoccy]

This song helped me so much during quarantine. Spending my teen years locked up in my room and then only going back to school during my senior year, really made me resonate with the lyrics "I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old, and now we never will". One of the good things that came from the virus

[@marjoriejuan9241]

Everyone who haven't listen to Chvrches album is seriously missing out.

Me encanta este video. Ejemplifica la emoción que tengo con mi señora. Cuando entendí la letra, me puse a llorar. A veces La Eternidad dura 1 minuto. Nos vemos. 30-7-2024

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Amazing music video! The slow-mo sequences during the chorus really capture the feeling of looking back in time and over romanticizing the memories of young love.

[@manny_the_creative9678]

This song made me realize that the person I was dating wasn't "The One" and saved me before things went south. ❤

[@NikoeEng]

CHVRCHES... I don't know what to say , but I am fking happy and touch for you exist . I believe your songs especially your voice is bringing everybody back to their own old times. Those feelings, those memories, those childhood . THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@sergeikhovansky499]

That was a very responsible step to be named Churches to redirect people's attention based on the essence of the term, and they did it the most beautiful and elegant way.

[@cheriwells6284]

Absolutely stunning music video and song concept! I feel nostalgic and sad in the best way every time I watch this.

[@Essy367]

This song reminds me of the happy times you spend with your best friend, enjoying the youthful times of adolescence as you live freely and seize the moment :)

what a powerful, sad and melancholic song... what harmony and deep and terrifying lyrics; about life, love and the effect of time and aging. always almost brings me to tears. Not only the best song of chvrches so far, but one of my life. thank u chvrches for this perfect song.

“When did we move on? I didn’t feel it; nobody told me.” Yup that sums it up perfectly.

This song is like 80s magic. Thank you chvrches

[@chongster746]

OMG! Is there a 'Some kind of wonderful ' 'Stranger things' vibe with most of their songs? I'm in awe of their transportation of songs through different times zones.

[@MrMiamiswaggz305]

I have no business liking this song so much. I’ll end friendships if I can’t express myself to this song 😂

[@hanssev8686]

[@abelgaspar2892]

They should be more famous!

[@maimetechy]

Chvrches Music Videos are pretty cinematic in my opinion. This tops it for sure in terms of cinematic quality, hats off to the director and camera operator.

[@missgen1124]

For those who are saying that Chvrches is under rated. -- this is really what will happen if a band or an artist create songs that few could understand . This band creates real music and with wonderful lyrics played on different kind of instruments. Their music can only connect deep into few souls... Souls that has deep understanding in life.

[@BinaBianca]

PERFECT

[@TempleSquire]

KIDS there's no we, just now. So be kind and love one another. As you came into this world a single soul and you will rest as one too.

LYRICS ❤🌠 I'm writing to ask you; did you achieve all you wanted to do? Before we were dragged up, something was different and nothing was new How did you see me? We didn't know what we wanted to be When did we move on? I didn't feel it, nobody told me Time to kill Was always an illusion Time stood still And now we never will, never will We wrote our names along the bathroom walls Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will Standing in streetlights, we didn't know wrong, didn't know right Making a mess and running in circles, getting in fights We were just kids then, we didn't know how and didn't know when Taking our chances, calling it off and starting again Time to kill Was always an illusion Time stood still And now we never will, never will We wrote our names along the bathroom walls Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will Never will Never will We wrote our names along the bathroom walls Graffitiing our hearts across the stalls I've been waiting for my whole life to grow old And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will And now we never will, never will

I think this is a song about growing up. You look back on life, back when you thought things would go a certain way, but now old friends and those you loved seem so far away. "I'm writing to ask you; did you achieve all you wanted to do? Before we were dragged up, something was different and nothing was new ... Time to kill Was always an illusion"
