CHVRCHES - Graffiti 

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!

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.

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

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

HOW is this song 5 years old!!!!

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

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. ❤️

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.

this song rocks ❤

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

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

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

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.

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

The most underrated song ❤

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

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.

You ever listen to a song for the first time and smile because of how good it is? Because that was me with this song.

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

I'm sitting here crying

Great song by them.

0:57 best part

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.

Finally most favorite song in the album!

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!

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 :)

Pop punk has influence in every modern genre

This song is like 80s magic. Thank you chvrches

Chvrches are a band that can incarnate magic itself

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

Easily the best song on LOVE IS DEAD.

I will definitely go to this chvrch. Sunday and everyday.

Man... I'm falling in love with every single Chvrches song I land on...

Listening to this song in the morning helps me feel good throughout the day🐤

And maybe the greatest song ever

❤❤❤

What a song!

CHVRCHES music really hits a nerve and i love it

This song makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Wonderful tune ❤️👌🏼

I'm writing to ask you, did you achieve all you wanted to do? Isn't this one of the best starting lines ever?

These guys literally do not stop producing amazing music. Chvrches. I love you

They should be more famous!

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

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.

this could be another one of my favs of chvrches, i could be listening all day and never get bored

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

Merci Sneaze pour m'avoir amené la dessus, tu verras sûrement jamais ça mais gros cœur sur toi ❤

If your reading this , I love you ❤ you’re amazing!! This song is absolutely euphoric

I'm SO glad I discovered this. I love it

Great song , beautiful music . Chvrches please come to Costa Rica 🇨🇷

shine your light!

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.

La canción ya es especial y nostálgica pero cuando ves este vídeo es aún más especial y nostálgica.

My life became even richer after this beautiful discovery ..hence the name CHVRCHES (church 🙏) Their talent, their design, what they sing about and the deeper truths within those amazing sounds and stories...simply DEVINE💙

Wow this song just made me unbelievable calm and clear minded. Thank you.

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.

This makes me nostalgic listenting to this in 2021 :'))

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

Love this. Thank you TraxxFm (Deejays Otto and Greenman) from Malaysia. For playing this song on radio. December 2021

Loved it! Amazing visuals and the song is just perfect

Wow...i love this song! 💓🎶😍😘👍🏻

Songname : Graffiti Videoname : Gravity

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.

Why does this song make me well up? I'm a 43 year old man dissolved of emotion by the hypocrisies of life...

First time listening to this, breathtaking!!!! Beautiful song and video, as always!

They popped into the 80's music and dropped into our hearts

A voz dessa mulher é maravilhosa! ♥️

Love the cinematography

My favorite song!

No bathroom wall has been harmed during this song.

Cool song by Chvrches.. One of my fave

Fave band to play while coding

One of my all time favourites

Just saw them last night in Birmingham and now a new music video! Loving this week!

CHVCHES brings me back hope for pop music.

Awesome as always!! Love from the Philippines 😘🇵🇭

ALL HAIL! OUR QUEEN LAVREN. 👑

Damn , this band is very underrated

If it was popular you can here their everysong almost anywhere it's so BEAUTIFUL

Everything about this is GREAT

I discoverd this song while I was listening to the radio, glad I did💛

underrated gem

Your songs put me in a fall in love trance ❤️

The love of my life (who ended up kidnapping, sexually abusing, and trafficking me for my disabilities) made me feel more alive than I ever had before. Like I was floating. :')Not sure that feeling will ever come back.

best song ever . chvrches . i love you . please dont ever stop .

My daughter so would of love this band. May she RIP....

Fave song!!

The kids in this video must have been absolutely gobsmacked by the 'antique' technology they were given to use (a tape deck? what's that????) :-D

Can't get past the line, "when we were dragged up;" what does that mean? The speaker doesn't say, "grow old together," just never will grow old. Can't help thinking the song is about dying too soon. There's that ambiguity, even given the video.

My art teacher introduced us this song today, I'm glad I went to tutorials :')

I love Lauren's voice. It's got the perfect level of emotion for this song.

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"

😱Just a few minutes ago, I discovered CVRCHES😱 it's love 😍❤

I'm an older person and love this song. The number of people I've "moved on" from in my life is kind of staggering.

Heard this track on Friday night haven’t stopped playing it !! Luv it Great vocal, great production, really good track 🤙 keep it up New Australian fan

Falling in love when you're young is the best feeling in the world. It's you and your significant other against everyone else. Breaking all the rules sneaking to see each other all hours of the night just thinking everything is perfect about that one person. I miss that feeling.

i really like this song its catchy 🎵
