Interesting facts and trivia about Clearest Blue. By Songfacts®.

Chvrches saw this track as pivotal to nailing the sonics they were after on their Every Open Eye album. "'Clearest Blue' was the 17th song we wrote, and it sort of informed the rest of the production," Martin Doherty of the band told NME. "To me it came to define how the rest sounds. When asked what he meant, Doherty replied "Well, it's big and happy and sad and a banger." "It's sort of cry-dance," vocalist Lauren Mayberry added.

Chvrches debuted the song at the Ottawa Bluesfest on July 15 2015, performing two other previously unheard Every Open Eye tracks as well, "Make Them Gold" and lead single "Leave A Trace."

"We like the duality of that line, it's not necessarily a negative thing and not necessarily a positive thing."
