New Music: Dalloway – NEVERENDING

Published On: August 24th, 2025|

NEVERENDING by Dalloway has hints of the 00s indie-folk boom, but the baroque strings and decidedly blunt lyrics pivot the song somewhere full of existential heartache for a lost future.

It’s not downbeat; rather, it is a hymn to the resilience of youth and humanity in the face of what’s to come. That indie-folk energy in the chorus is a bit of an outlier, a concession to a pop aesthetic in a song that doesn’t pull any punches, possessing a terrible beauty about it. NEVERENDING is a track you will feel as much as hear.

“I wrote this song mid-panic attack after doom scrolling on TikTok and seeing video after video about the imminent effects of climate change,” says Dalloway about the lyrics.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about how quiet the woods will be in 50 years. How eerie that silence will sound to those who lived through what was before, and yet, to some generations, it’ll just be normal.”

“Will they be able to sense something’s missing? It got me thinking about how the ‘End of the World’ is never really a literal ending; it’s just something different. Even when the sun explodes, there’s still something left.”

“It’s not necessarily comforting to frame the grief that way, but it does give some perspective on how to handle it. A reminder that we just have to keep going. Mourn, bear witness to the changes, and then do the best we can.”
