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.
