Chvrches - Afterglow (Joy Surrender Live Cover)

After listening to the NPR stream of Chvrches’ new album ‘Every Open Eye’ I was left in awe of the last track ‘Afterglow’, a beautifully ethereal song.

While rehearsing for my next Joy Surrender show earlier today, I thought I would just give it a go, because why not? So I looked up the lyrics and hit record. This is what came out.

Lyrics:
All of the black and white
All of the contours
Are laid out before me, now
To leave a trace

With all of the light and shame
We take up our own space
I'll find my own way back
Back to the past tense

A lifeline to highs and lows
To seeing the bright side
And I should know
We wait for the afterglow
To cover the blind side
And I should know

All of the empty thoughts
All of the outlines
Are laid out before us, now
To leave a trace

All of your words and mine
They keep returning
I'll find my own way back
Back to the silence

A lifeline to highs and lows
To seeing the bright side
And I should know
We wait for the afterglow
To cover the blind side
And I should know

I've given up all I can
