CHVRCHES just shared a beautiful new version of their Every Open Eye track “Down Side of Me” this morning. This stripped-down version will be part of the 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood project benefiting the charity Planned Parenthood. The track also includes a new music video directed by actress Kristen Stewart.

In a press release, Lauren Mayberry said, “‘Down Side of Me’ was not written specifically for this project but I really like how the lyrics can be interpreted in a way that supports the goal of the project as a whole. We should all be able to have faith that our governments are working in our best interests—and if they aren’t then, they should be challenged and held to account. ‘I’ll believe that you’re all that you said you would be.’”

“We have always tried to be socially aware and to link in with organizations whose work we support. Planned Parenthood is an incredibly important resource for so many women (and men) in America and the fact that Planned Parenthood has come under so much fire in the current political climate does not sit well with us. Now is not the time to stay quiet, and if artists want to help by raising money or awareness for causes that we believe in, then I think that they should.”

Watch the stirring video below.


“Down Side of Me” is available now digitally from iTunes and Spotify. Click here to pre-order the 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood vinyl box set. Planned Parenthood will receive 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the box set and streaming listens.

CHVRCHES Contribute to 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood

CHVRCHES Contribute to 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood

Yesterday more news was revealed about the project Kristen Stewart recently worked on with CHVRCHES for Planned Parenthood. CHVRCHES recorded a song and made a special video directed by Stewart for a compilation of 7” singles to support a project dubbed 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood. Singles will be released digitally in batches during the coming weeks along with a vinyl box set.

An all-star list of contributors for this project including musicians, authors, comedians and more can be seen in the poster above. A statement about this project from 7-Inches follows.

“Lawmakers with extreme views are working hard to shut down Planned Parenthood. If they succeed, millions of Americans will lose access to basic health services, including STD testing and treatment, birth control, and life-saving cancer screenings.

7-inches for Planned Parenthood is a response to this threat. This curated series of 7-inch vinyl records is being made by a group of people who believe that access to health care is a public good that should be fiercely protected. Do we know there’s a joke in the name? We do. We hope the title evokes the rich history of 7-inch vinyl records as a medium for protest music and resistance.

Planned Parenthood will receive 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this 7-inch box set and streaming listens. We see this initiative as the start of something bigger, and hope it will inspire both contributors and listeners to continue to seek out ways to stand with Planned Parenthood and other institutions that are so vital to us all.”

For more information on this project visit 7-Inches for Planned Parenthood and read how the project came to be from The Creative Independent. Presale information coming soon.
