CHVRCHES - live acoustic session 2021 Play List: 00:00 He Said She Said 03:06 California 07:24 Good Girls 10:35 Better If You Don`t 14:04 How Not To Drown
If you are lucky, at least once in your lifetime, an album will come along at the exact right moment in your life when you need it. For that, I will forever be grateful for Chvrches releasing Screen Violence.
Absolutely true, and everytime it happens you just need to sit back, enjoy it while it's new to you coupled with flashbacks of life events so important to you plus if you're equipped with a quality audio gear while listening what more could you ask....
Nice comment. For me it was The Bones of What You Believe. But then, I guess every album cannot be your favourite ;-). Incredibly talented band, who also come across as genuinely nice people.
You guys need to release an album of your acoustic versions. There are times I prefer them to the album ones. The acoustic Graffiti is my all time favourite Chvches track.
A few years back they did a live set on a radio station near me, and I got to be in the listening room on the other side of the glass. They did a lowkey version of The Mother We Share at the end. So good.
I like it but at times her tone or pitch, whatever the pros call it, is hard to listen to. I suppose that adds to the 'hurt' within the song but grates a bit. Would be nice to soften that sound (just a friendly bit of feedback, most will no doubt disagree with me, not major criticism). Does remind me of the sound of a moaning girlfriend ;), but no doubt she had good reason to moan!
@@adamhardy8690 no problem, always open to good criticism (you naughty boy haha). I think she has a style on her own. I really enjoy it. I feel these guys are really into a different level of spirit, despite of the fact that they see themselves as electro punkers. On the other hand I couldn´t listen to them all day long as with any other artist. But when I do it, I really enjoy it.
What's great about Chvrches is these songs work with out all the synthpop effects, and layering. This particular album is more than introspective than ever. Her vocals are as outstanding as ever, and it's refreshing to hear her not fight through all the synth pop.
Love the layers of synthpop ;-) But yeah the acoustic stuff on it’s own is also great. Maybe just me, but absolutely love when Lauren and Martin sing together.
@@LeniTV sorry to disagree, but it probably is. Autotune can correct pitch so it sounds natural, or it can be used for pretty extreme vocal effects.Like most or at least many “serious” musicians, I own the full Antares package for use in my studio, which includes autotune and their other vocal effects. You’re right that If it sounds badly pitch corrected, it’s probably a cheap imitation plug-in. But if it sounds deliberately artificial in a way that fits the music, there’s a decent chance it is autotune or at least an accompanying Antares plugin, or a combination of both. By no means are “all” pop tunes produced using autotune. Some voices are plenty good enough and sound worse when you mess with fixing the exact pitch. And some producers will use Melodyne or some other godawful difficult to use bit of software to manually correct the odd note…
Feel like I’m loosing my mind just how good this entire band is. They seem to make the most complex and melodically beautiful music seem so effortless, which it is clearly not. Just…wow. Timeless and magical. Well done.
Yasss that's exactly what I was gonna comment! She really speaks out for abusive relationships and I love that cuz so many people have low key been through one and it helps you heal when you feel empowered by beautiful music :)
Good Girls acoustic has a 90's angsty female folk vibe that would fit right in with Jewel, Alanis, even some Cranberries and would be on a playlist with those and Goo Goo Dolls, Oasis etc
Sometimes it's affirming to see a band really strip away the layers and show just raw talent... it's like "Okay, they really are that good. I always knew it, but now I really know it."
usage of word 'has' means recency(2021), but as far I see Chvrches transformed into a Force to be reckoned with way yearlier. at least 5 years prior to 2021
Chvrches in their collective entirety are supremely talented in their craft. Fantastic songwriting, where the songs work superbly stripped back as well as in full on heavy synth mode. Extremely competent mastery of their respective individual skills. Jonny an excellent addition with live drums in recent years. Yes, Lauren is fantastic but the whole band are fantastic and the sum of their parts is greater than their individual parts. These guys are starting to get the recognition they deserve now and well deserved it is. Their is a long and successful road ahead for them, there is no doubt.
omg. Something about your phrasing toward the end of “He Said She Said” made me realize how much I want to hear you sing a couple Til Tuesday/Aimee Mann covers. CHVRCHES performing “Voices Carry” and “Wise Up” would be insane.
Fabulous acoustic set. Better if you don't really showcases Lauren's outstanding vocals and on a personal level is rapidly becoming a rival to Clearest Blue as my fave Chvrches track. Can't wait for Birmingham in March 2022🎹🎹🎶🎶🎤🎤🎸🎸♥️♥️
Normally I hate vocalists singing in falcetto voice, but Lauren makes it sound so natural in He said she said. Of course, missing Robert...Anyway, a superb performance 🙆🙆🙆🙆from Finland
Miss Lauren Mayberry and the boys...... The best music of the world...... my favorite group forever and ever.... I love you so much Miss Lauren..... 😍😍😍
There's probably something artistic about 'How Not To Drown' and words: 'Tell', 'Me' and 'How' are like floating up to surrface in bubble and sound as the bubble collapse. Although when I try to repeat this singing after her, an uncomfortable feeling of those words being suspended and torn of the text is created. I love this song as one of the Chvrches' uniques. I'd love to know wich of the songs is Lauren's favorite, combining melody and lyrics. After a long love story with Chvrches music, I think mine is [spoiler]Miracle[/spoiler]
Your voice still sounds beautiful. A very bad injury to my memory caused problems for me.When I heard a song where it said" I was on your side"It brought back the close time we hadAmong tables + chairs.
Wow you guys are awesome I can't believe I haven't heard you before and Lauren what a voice, brilliant the best I've heard in along time! My favorite band now,... geez! Go Lauren this is crazy!
Fucking brilliant!! She sings like a Siren. Beautiful storytelling with the lyrics and, still catchy and great sounding at same time. FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!

I don’t care for auto tune. If you’ve got talent, we can tell. This girl’s got it.

Yess, Graffiti and Miracle acoustic version so sick
SAME. Graffiti acoustic the the BEST
Hansa sessions were really good.
hansa graffiti is really godlike
How Not To Drown is so powerful. Her performance here is divine.
only Robert is missing
@@sascha5193 Having Rob would have been great, but as always its her note choices that make the songs for me.
@@PartialS Martin actually writes almost all the melodies for CHVRCHES, to give credit where it’s due 😉
@@clevelandfan295 Fair enough. Martin, we are not worthy.
Very surprised they are not more well known.
Thank you for being there for someone you don't even know.
Music heals ❤
Incredible what Lauren can do with her voice, particularly on just 1 short word, END.....7:12-7:19. Astounding.
These versions are a superb addition to a fucking perfect record.
@10:00 or 10:01: that punch and "Haah" is so stylish and amazing. that punch would knock me out if I wasn't already knocked out!
Beautiful Lauren, she sings like an Angel. And the whole band is a group of elevated souls that deliver amazing music. Thanks Chvrches! =)
I've never heard the term elevated souls but it's beautiful and perfect way to describe the group!
I like it but at times her tone or pitch, whatever the pros call it, is hard to listen to. I suppose that adds to the 'hurt' within the song but grates a bit. Would be nice to soften that sound (just a friendly bit of feedback, most will no doubt disagree with me, not major criticism).

Yes, it's a testament to the strength of the songwriting that these songs are so powerful, even when stripped of their synthpop ornamentation.
Love the layers of synthpop ;-)
But yeah the acoustic stuff on it’s own is also great. Maybe just me, but absolutely love when Lauren and Martin sing together.
He Said She Said literally brought me to tears and I don't even know why.
what a special band, will always have a special place in my heart
I like the way Lauren added that "Ha" to that song. it added the to the gist of the song. A brilliant idea .
I never say it enough : "the Ha is love, the Ha is life."
Good Girls is probably my favorite Chvrches song and I'm very happy to see a live performance of it.
I discovered this band a few days ago on a RUclips recommandation. For once in one life, this was a good recommandation.
Jesus, her voice is just amazing... I think she is freaking awesome..
It's incredible to hear a pop artist very typically auto-tuned and using a lot of effects still sing beautifully clean like this.
@@LeniTV Yeesh, ok, auto tune like.
She has a great voice.
@@LeniTV sorry to disagree, but it probably is. Autotune can correct pitch so it sounds natural, or it can be used for pretty extreme vocal effects.Like most or at least many “serious” musicians, I own the full Antares package for use in my studio, which includes autotune and their other vocal effects.

I rarely listen to their studio recordings... I get lost in all the live shows & radio performances. LOVE the acoustic sets.
Feel like I’m loosing my mind just how good this entire band is. They seem to make the most complex and melodically beautiful music seem so effortless, which it is clearly not. Just…wow.
Timeless and magical. Well done.
So love Chvches but .'live' recording can be so cool and beautiful with good musicians and engineers ..........top quality. Lauren..you blow me away..
Only discovered this band 2 days ago, in a cinema lobby before a film started, completely by chance.. and I'm in love. Amazing.
lucky--enjoy every album and b-side!
@@BrentTimm thanks! I've actually now purchased all four. Listened to Love is Dead and Screen Violence a few times each, tremendous stuff!
similar to my introduction few years back and apparently it just keeps getting better
Update: Every Open Eye is possibly my favourite album, possibly joint with Screen Violence.
@@the21stsergeant that’s awesome!!!
This hits so different in the acoustic version. Amazing!!
California and Lullabies are my favorite songs of the new album. Can't stop listening to them!
Wow, she is ANGRY!!! Therefore a unique performance!
I think to a certain extent she channels it to give a powerful performance. I guess we’re all angry about some stuff.
voice 📣, loud and clear... theres freedom in failure... thats nice too.
Something I love about their performances when Lauren sings it always feels genuine.
I frickin Love Lauren’s voice so much
Shock, takes breathtaking. A beautiful, crystalline voice can only be heard here. Something like Sussane Vega but much better.
Lauren u are the Best Singer of all Time
Chvrches is amazing
Basically playing this on repeat infinitely
Lauren sings like an Angel. She’s just so sweet, and must be protected at all costs.
She reminds me of that chick from The Sundays ... beautiful cute voice
Not a single note out place. Masterpiece.
She is so beautiful omg
This is a testament to how talented this group is!❤
Que hermosa canción es California
Lauren has improved so much over the years! Had some bad live experiences a few years ago. CHVRCHES are just killin'!
They did? I always thought they were some of the best live acts of the last decade honestly. They always blow it out the park with their performances.
@@Wackaz I Absolutely agree with you, they are an awesome live act! But Lauren's voice wasn't always that stable and clear as it is now.
@@chrise.1859 she's gained a lot of confidence, she has a more commanding stage presence compared to live performances for TBOWYB
Lauren has the voice of an Angel ,stunning vocals SUPERB SESSION
Yasss that's exactly what I was gonna comment! She really speaks out for abusive relationships and I love that cuz so many people have low key been through one and it helps you heal when you feel empowered by beautiful music :)
I been following Chvrches since 2012 or so... Lauren is aging to a beautiful woman.. The 2 guys not much changes.. I love their music..
Good Girls acoustic has a 90's angsty female folk vibe that would fit right in with Jewel, Alanis, even some Cranberries and would be on a playlist with those and Goo Goo Dolls, Oasis etc
Big Fan here from Brazil
Heard her do a version of avrils "I'm with you" once. What a voice. Her live voice is her studio voice. Very few artists are naturally that talented.
This sounds good, but during concerts it sounds terrible.
@@MarCuseus completely disagree. Saw them live last week and she sounded incredible
Their acoustic stuff is unbelievable… I wish they would go on an acoustic tour 😭
Id be happy with a little 2-3 song acoustic part in the set on the new tour.
@@michaelbell75 I wonder if they played like this in "pubs" before they were famous?! I'm sure they did :)
Lauren is ssssssoooooooooo gorgeous...
"Better if You Don't" is sooooo sooooo good here. OMG!
I love her expressions when she sings.
This session overcame that early one in Bauhaus. Listening to this album is like feeling that remaining pain of a healing wound.
Mmm creo son similares ambas son la esencia de chvrches
literally feels like you wrote the remaining pain of a healing wound especially better if you dont
I’m really loving ‘Better If You Don’t’. It’s great on the album but it’s beautiful here.
Hello idol your so pretty and have a beautiful voice:-)
Better if you don’t is just superb,absolutely perfect.
Lauren you are amazing
instantly recognizable voice and style ... not necessarily a fan of synth pop music but a huge fan of CHVRCHES.
Sometimes it's affirming to see a band really strip away the layers and show just raw talent... it's like "Okay, they really are that good. I always knew it, but now I really know it."
she has transformed into a FORCE to be reckoned with. hell yea Lauren. Keep slaying bb
usage of word 'has' means recency(2021), but as far I see Chvrches transformed into a Force to be reckoned with way yearlier. at least 5 years prior to 2021
Superb acoustic renditions of beautiful songs. And that voice❤
Chvrches in their collective entirety are supremely talented in their craft. Fantastic songwriting, where the songs work superbly stripped back as well as in full on heavy synth mode. Extremely competent mastery of their respective individual skills. Jonny an excellent addition with live drums in recent years.

Top shelf performance from an excellent group!
Watch as this becomes my most listened to favourite, right up there with the Hansa Session EP.
I am from Brazil... I love your sound!
Po prostu przepiękne
listened to you guys before fifa please come to dublin again
Awesome songs, just awesome.
This is the perfect soundtrack for my road trips. ❤️👌
A great interpetation of the lyrics which are quite psychologically unique. Thank you
Fabulous acoustic set. Better if you don't really showcases Lauren's outstanding vocals and on a personal level is rapidly becoming a rival to Clearest Blue as my fave Chvrches track. Can't wait for Birmingham in March 2022🎹🎹🎶🎶🎤🎤🎸🎸♥️♥️
Amazing
Akustik terbaik chvrches
Great cheers 🥂🥂🥂🥂 performance love The back instrument 🎷🎸🎸 ....and her voice echos into.... love chvrches....
Normally I hate vocalists singing in falcetto voice, but Lauren makes it sound so natural in He said she said. Of course, missing Robert...Anyway, a superb performance 🙆🙆🙆🙆from Finland
You give me chill like the Sundays. Thank you.
Like so many others have commented. I too am very impressed with her voice. Amazing !! Great Band. Thank you
Miss Lauren Mayberry and the boys...... The best music of the world...... my favorite group forever and ever.... I love you so much Miss Lauren..... 😍😍😍

Wow these hit differently when acoustic. "He Said She Said" becomes hugely powerful.
it really does, the lyrics are much more affecting and emotional on this version. I wish the album version was more like this
Ever so lovely. Thanks!
Beauty just pours out of her. Gorgeous.
Your voice still sounds beautiful. A very bad injury to my memory caused problems for me.When I heard a song where it said" I was on your side"It brought back the close time we hadAmong tables + chairs.
Wow you guys are awesome I can't believe I haven't heard you before and Lauren what a voice, brilliant the best I've heard in along time!
My favorite band now,... geez! Go Lauren this is crazy!
This is phenomenal !
So much emotion in the vocals!
What a good song is good girls, beautiful performance !
She is SO talented.
A living angel.. wow.
Lauren, I can feel your soul. Thank u !!!
Fairly this started out as a midi remix of Vivaldi with Miles Davis? Plus some extra stuff as happens in the chains of history.
Lauren, see you in DC on November 30th! Can't wait. Wish I saw you guys at Black Cat back when.
What a great album. The songs work just as well acoustically. Always a sign of great songwriting.
we need more of the acoustic sessions love it so much especially the hansa session that session is godsent
Reminds me of the poetic sad 90s music good times
Great Session and they played California, my favorite from their latest album, which is by the way and absolute mind blowing album!!!!
Lauren is so talented and exquisite too!
Wow.stunning vocals.i didnt expect to like this very much without the synth accompaniment but I guess I got took to church.💖💥❤
To chvrch
thats a really nice clip, feels incredibly heartfelt and real, and its (in humble opinion) perfectly sung, all through
Great performance.
Fucking brilliant!! She sings like a Siren. Beautiful storytelling with the lyrics and, still catchy and great sounding at same time. FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!!
So nice, Lauren looks good dressed casual with her hair done like that. And her voice is so great!
THANKS FOR BE MY BEST VACCINE IN THIS PANDEMIC
This is so good. Lauren's voice is angelic
Lauren, lain,johny,martin could sing,play syth,drums underwater with scuba gear on and it would still be amazing
That'd be an interesting sight
You know exactly what is right
