Information about the piece

My Enemy is the brainchild of a 2018 collaboration between Chvrches, a Scottish synth-pop band, and Matt Berninger, lead vocalist for American indie rock band The National.

The song features Chvrches' well-known electro-pop sound meshing seamlessly with Berninger's softer indie rock vocals. With its moody, wave-like synth pattern, low-tempo, and stripped back minimalistic beats, My Enemy explores themes of emotional turbulence in a haunting duet.

Musically, the song unfolds on a minimalist canvas with its primary focus on the vocals and synth. The structure is fairly straight-forward:

• Repeated verses and choruses
• A synth verse that creates a distinct soundscape
• Harmonic progression that stays within simple mainstream pop boundaries
• A memorable hook. Paradoxically, the simple composition heightens the song's emotional intensity.

The song's simplicity makes it achievable for intermediate level piano players, whileoffering room for personal expression. The piano sheet music version for intermediate players can be purchased and downloaded on our website.
