Background The song premiered as Annie Mac's Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, where the band revealed that it is the only song from the album recorded in the United Kingdom. "'Miracle' is the only song from ''Love Is Dead'' that we didn't write and record in the States, instead producing it in London with Steve Mac. Steve is such an intuitive writer with such a killer ear for melody and working with him felt very easy and natural. He makes space for everyone in the room and really pushes people to try things and go outside of their comfort zone, in a good way," said Mayberry. Composition "Miracle" is a pop song consisting of elements from '90s rock music. According to ''Rolling Stone''s Jon Blistein, the song features "booming perc ...

Clearest Blue
"Clearest Blue" is a song by the Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches and the third single from the band's second studio album, ''Every Open Eye''. Background While talking about the origins of the song on the ''Song Exploder'' podcast, Martin Doherty and Iain Cook explained that the trio originally intended "Clearest Blue" to be a laid back song with just two chords, but because they are notoriously bad at sticking to their own rules, they ended up with something completely divergent from those ideas. After coming up with the base sample, they bounced ideas around, with Doherty adding "nonsense vocals" to establish the basic cadences of the song. Lauren Mayberry began writing the lyrics to replace these vocals, but found herself frequently concerned that her pessimism would bleed through into the lyrics of the song in parts intended to be hopeful and optimistic. The song is typically described as building and building until it ultimately explodes at its melodic climax, but Doherty ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
