Melancholy In Love Pt. VI: I Never Really Loved You by the NeverEndings

I love Ivy, and hearing that their releasing a new album is great news to me. But, while I was trying to find information about the next album, I found out about this great duo.
The NeverEndings, are Dominique Durand and Andy Chase. Their songs are great for the other side of summer. Especially with this song, I Never Really Loved You.
I really like the beginning of the song, it gives you a sense of what the feelings going to be. Cold, distant, dark, and alone. The melody is somewhat upbeat while the lyrics are really good but really dark. Kind of the opposite version of Ivy.

Here's a song to start your summer of lovin' and/or summer of heartbreak.

If you love Ivy, Brookville, Paco and the Postmarks then you'll love the NeverEndings!

Happily Melancholic Favorite #5: Another For The Darkness by Gemma Hayes

Talk, Talk
Empty Sentiment
I Haven't Got The Heart
For Disappointment
I really like this song, Another For The Darkness by Gemma Hayes.

The title at first may seem a little....Dark but the song itself is not.

It's kind of the feeling of upbeat melody with sad lyrics.

For me the song hits me on a personal level.

I think the reason why I like this song so much is because of the lyrics.

The lyrics are filled with hints of disappointment and confusion and also a hint of trying to help.

All that roll it into one and that's a great way to sum up my feelings these past couple of days.
Anyways, here's Another For The Darkness by Gemma Hayes.


Lyrical Snippets Hitting Home
Stop Looking At Me That Way
This line is related to a person who always talk about me behind my back and looks at me and makes me feel like crap for doing one little thing. It hurts.
Tired of The Fight
This hits me personally because I feel as if I always have to end up in an argument with another person just to prove to them that I didn't do whatever they thought I did. I just feel too weak to argue anymore.
Well, I Don't Understand You Better Than Most
I Am Just You Friend, With Troubles Of My Own
This is realated to one of my friends whom i keep sacrificing everything to but people still think that I abuse him or torture him because well, he tells people that. So, now I feel as if he expects me to understand him better than others because we're friends.
Truth is, I don't.
I won't be able to and I can't just stop everything and feel the same way you're feeling every time.
These Days I'm Surrounded By People I Don't Even Like
That is true I am but it's not everyone, just most of the people I don't like.

I don't think I'll be talking very much after today or tomorrow or the next week, cause what's the point of talking to people with my problems, troubles, and worries if I have to deal with it myself.
I'm going to have to get used to that.
I just hope that at least one day this year I'll have a good day with friends/family, fun, and laughter. I just really need a good day.
I want to smile more, I don't want to keep getting Anger shakes, feelings of loneliness and experience actions of disappointment anymore.
I just don't.

7th Happily Melancholic Song: It's Time by Maria Taylor

After 18 years of listening to music, I have finally found my favorite song. It's Time by Maria Taylor. Every line I hear from the song hits me at the right spot, the melodies speak to me and makes my soul fly and my smile grow wide, the hushed vocals tugs at my heart and motivates me to feel the emotion I have inside me. Every little thing about this song is perfect. I just love it.
I remember that I was listening to this song when I thought up of Happily Melancholic. The song has everything that's personal to me. It's Melancholic with an upbeat melody also it's about personal strength. I really love this song. If I didn't have this song in my collection I probably would still be the passive guy that I used to be.

5th Happily Melancholic Song: Harmony To My Heartbeat by Sally Seltmann

Dreams They Come & Go, This Is One I've Had Forever I Know.

I don't know how Sally does it. She just writes a song with hope and happiness mixed with uncertainty and sadness. She's the Happily Melancholic Queen. I loved her work as New Buffalo and now she's releasing her next album with her real name. She may have changed her name but her music, lyrics, and vocals are still just as heavenly as before. She's mixed the sounds of piano and acoustic guitar (Main instruments used for the Somewhere, Anywhere album as New Buffalo) with her Casio keyboard and synth and lo-fi sounds (Main instruments for The Last Beautiful Day). She's grown so much since her first release About Last Night. I love this artist.
