Some people said that this video sucks but it's wonderful for me. The message in this is to be the real you. Don't listen to what others would say. Look how happy they are because they express themselves. Stay who you are. Love yourself
This was filmed at the Rapids water park literally a half hour away from where I've always lived. This is literally a thing we used to do as young weirdos in south florida so this video literally embodies part of my childhood and i love it.
I wish i had something like this when I was a kid. As a late 90s and 00s kid, the best I could ask for was 80s new wave... good grief, I grew up in a cultural void of time. I wanted to be more queer... but i had zero fucking examples.
This might actually be my new favourite music video like in the world ever, I just found it really subtly emotional and visually interesting and I really feel like I got what the main girl was feeling even without any dialogue or overt signs~ Great job to all involved with its production!!!
I have a blue Celica and the engine had been blown for years. Seeing this video reminded me of all the good times I had in it (even propping the hatch up with wood!) and it inspired me so I just fitted a replacement engine to it and it's on the road again, all because of this video. Thanks Chvrches for the motivation
I cannot get enough of CHVRCHES! I love everything they stand for and it's so refreshing to see a band in the music industry stick to their beliefs from day 1 and still continuously create opportunities for themselves! Keep up the fantastic work guys
-"If you want to stay here", meaning how happy they are at the moment & don't want the day to end. Hence, the last scene where she falls on her bed & wishes she was back there. idk, seems kinda obvious to me what the point of the video is & how it corresponds to the song. They were all happy & smiling, but at the end of the day they go back to their real lives & wish they were back there with each other.
"Empty Threat is an overwhelming surge of happy toxins - brought on by the kind of soundtrack to those moments in 80s movies where the losers figure it out and come out on top. So shamelessly satisfying, this is the audio equivalent of a high five."
This music video is making me ball my eyes out. In 2003 me and my friends were "Hot Topic, Mall goths" and we all went to our local water park looking like goths and just having fun and i hate nostalgia so much, man 😭
I first heard this song back in Feb 2016 and instantly fell in love (also their very first song I listened to). The week before, I had the chance to see them live at my Uni's event but decided not to go because I didn't know who they were. Dear God, the regret........
when you're casually catching up with chvrches and you realize one of their videos was filmed at an iconic place from your childhood in the 80s. when those distinctive yellow slides popped into frame, i knew exactly where i was.
+Magnus McCloud I don't think they will, they haven't even been playing it live. I was really bummed when I saw them because that's my favorite song on the album.
Elisha Zepeda yeah, it's one of my faves too. but yeah that's a bummer. I was wondering how Lavren is gonna pull off the harmony part of Down Side of Me live. (most likely Martin's gonna help). but damn, I really want to see a live version of Down Side of Me.
Let's just talk a moment to appreciate how much fun they probably had filming this... "Damn it, that take was bad. One more time down the water slide?"
this is great! much better than the usual "lauren singing and ian / martin bobbing their heads" type video. good story and great visuals. not my favourite music on the album but the best video so far!
Tore a line in the sun Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove Set my sights high enough So I see the turning tides are parting for you Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on No more times second guessed Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose Hold my ground long enough Till I see the turning tides are coming from you Taking back an empty threat More than you could ever know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side And I was holding on To try and not forget Hoping that you'd never know Take it back with no regrets I was better off when I was on your side If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?

At age 45. This brings back so many memories of Jr. High and HS. No matter the age or generations, coming of youth is a wonderful experience. Props CHVRCHES!!
At first i wasnt happy they werent in the video because Lauren is slaying the videos lately... But this imagery was fantastic, i thought this video was going to turn super dark but it didnt take that route, it just made me enjoy how much fun they were having, this is one of those music videos that dont have to really deliver a story, the song just kind of tells you whats going on while the video captures good vibes
I love this song so much. I always play it in the car with my friends when we are travelling and it cheers us up so much. Definitely the best song from Every Open Eye
I hadn't heard of your great band, until I bought and played death stranding. I loved that song on the game, and omg, I have been checking out more songs from you guys and I'm very impressed. Keep the songs coming. Cheers Dave.
This was shot in Ft Lauderdale? Hell yes ! Representing Broward county lol. Also 3:00 in video is definitely my favorite part of the song. Oh and is that the South Plantation Paladins stadium? If so I kicked their ass in baseball lol.
1:32 - As someone who owned a 2001 Celica, the holding open the rear hatch with a 2x4 you keep in the trunk expressly for that purpose is 100% accurate. The hydraulic pistons on them died after like 2 years in every single one I've seen.
Lauren once said that these guys confessed to her that they actually played empty threat, in the car on their way to the water park. I live for chvrches
I have no idea what but there's something about this girls voice that is so unique its such a beautiful voice sounds so young but the style of voice is so good, not anyone put there with a voice like this

I listened as a means of feeling happy to get over it but when it got to the bridge "if we wanna stay here, can we see the waves? they're spilling over us filling our insides" and I completely lost it and I was in TEARS , its the first time I realised how powerful their music is
I was half expecting them to take off their goth clothes and put on preppy clothes, like they lived in an alternate reality where parents get mad at their kids for leaving the house without piercings or black latex and they have to sneakily change into polo shirts after they leave the house.
I am a HUGE fan of CHVRCHES, but I am also painfully honest when I say that I much prefer their sound in 'The Bones of What You Believe.' 'Every Open Eye' disappoints me. But I still love CHVRCHES. They put on a stellar show at the Buckhead Theatre. Mad support and much love from Atlanta, Georgia!

It's impossible not to like this fun-loving synthpop single. For this very reason, we've made it our new TRACK OF THE WEEK!
Nice!
Great :)
who cares
Unless you've heard it on repeat while working in retail, in which case it's soul destroying
New track of 2021 09/04
Im a huge metal fan for years but Chvurches brings good peace to mind every now and then
I hear that! Chvrches, Priest, and Maiden keep me going!

This song sounds so 80s, it's fantastic
you didn't grow up in the 80s did you?
No it doesn’t
It does, I feel like most of their stuff has a big Strawberry Switchblade influence. Idk why ppl are disagreeing
This song and video are both so much fun!
I'm loving the 90's goth vibe of this video
chvrches has got a song for any mood ok
they've got happy dance, passionate dance, sad, action, anything.
i love this so much
One of the best pop songs I've heard in quite some time. Can't. Stop. Listening.
one of the best vid i v ever seen...
That girl in the blue hair is absolutely gorgeous. Amazing music video.
a video of Down Side of Me. that's what I'm waiting for. CHVRCHES pls.
+Magnus McCloud and if you do make a Down Side of Me. make it weird like your old videos from the first album.
+Magnus McCloud my god pls
or playing dead plz :v

CHVRCHES nunca decepciona
This song and video brings me back to the sweet memory of the 90's
I really miss the 90s
Me too!
Am I the only one who thinks the 90's are embarrassing asf
+oliverthegodofcod you live in 2015, and your embarrassed by the 90's? yikes
+Tsaqib Al-Hasawi Looks more mid to late 80s to me. But i guess some places were behind the times, trend-wise.
Lauren's voice is everything
Totally unexpected video. I love it.
Timeless song
Not seen this for ages. Masterpiece.
More than you could ever know.
Superior sound tracking here.
Love the noise out of you guys.
Thanks for solid af music @Chvrches.

You're amazingly amazing, I really don't get why you're still not popular...
I think better this way. Mainstream becomes shit. I love Rock but CHVRCHES is amazing.
well, now that i read your comments, i totally agree. Most musicians when they become famous their songs turns out like shit.
+Salmaaa The. Unicorn They already are, saw them last week and gig was sold out. 3 years ago none of my friends knew them, now everyone is hyped
almorik I find it perfectly fine.
***** that's good, I didn't know they're famous now cuz most of my friends don't know who they are.
Tore a line in the sun
Like there's nothing to regret and nothing to prove
Set my sights high enough
So I see the turning tides are parting for you
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
No more times second guessed
Like there's nothing to forget and nothing to lose
Hold my ground long enough
Till I see the turning tides are coming from you
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
They're spilling over me, filling my insides
If we wanna stay here, can we see the waves?
They're spilling over us, filling our insides
In the rising water, in the rising tide
We wait for the fall
(I gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I can see the difference
(I've gotta tell you)
Maybe the water's high
(I've gotta tell you)
But I know that this is different
Taking back an empty threat
More than you could ever know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
To try and not forget
Hoping that you'd never know
Take it back with no regrets
I was better off when I was on your side
And I was holding on
I thought it was "Draw a line in the sand"
Lauren’s lyricism intrigues me so much, she can be cryptically poetic or straight to the point
me too
AntiChangeling I think the same.
It makes sense with the tides and waves words and context.
At age 45. This brings back so many memories of Jr. High and HS. No matter the age or generations, coming of youth is a wonderful experience. Props CHVRCHES!!

I have no words to describe this video! You guys are amazing! I love CHVRHES
Shout-out to all of my Florida goths. This was so me in the 90s.
I can't believe this song isn't more popular it's like, THE BEST!
this song and video makes me happy
At 3:46, the "Hoping that you'd never know" line sounds so cathartic.
So beautifully color graded! :)
rest in punk austin ashley forever
OMG they filmed this in my city! That's Sunrise in Florida! I recognize the road they're on, next to the I-75!
There's an innocent coming of age exuberance about this video. There's a nostalgia for a life that wasn't mine.
Same. 🤘
The best music video of 2015.
Why is Chvrches so good? I like them so much I'm worried I might get tired listening to them all the time.

You pay to get in a water park and you stay all the day under an umbrella watching your friends having fun 😂
Like a aristocrat from goth family, yeah
It is the same with a barby.

The water park is called Rapids Water Park in Rivera Beach FL!!
"I need to look good for my music video. It's okay, I can afford it."
Maybe she cannot expose herself to sun but still wants to be with her friends. Ok, now continue talking shits.
Some people derive fun from watching others enjoy themselves.
I love how the videos always start with subtle italics explaining to you which song it is! :3
video makes me think of my high school years good times
This was the most beautiful video I've seen in years. It takes me home.
it's funny because the smile the girl does at the end of the video is the exact smile I do when I listen to this song
Lauren, your voice is everything.
