Single Review: Eternity By Elizabeth Wear

 Since Elizabeth Wear’s "Eternity" is currently a demo, we are giving the track a fair shot by analyzing the songwriting and emotional depth purely through the lyrics, unclouded by production decisions. Right away, the song plunges us into a scene of private, agonizing grief with the opener: "in the early morning when everyone is sleeping I'm awake thinking about you." The isolation is palpable, and this sense of profound preoccupation is cemented by the standout imagery in Verse 2, where the singer struggles to "weigh the stars that you are well"—a stunning metaphor for the exhausting work of trying to ensure a lost loved one is okay in the cosmos. The chorus cuts through any subtlety, delivering a raw, crushing confession: "I felt so bad that I'll never get over it, I dream about you... but I wish I had you like I used to." This tension between constant spiritual presence and agonizing physical absence forms the devastating core of the track.

​The intensity only deepens in the Bridge, introducing the painful sting of regret with the lines, "I should have valued you but, I feel like I didn't show you enough love," perfectly captured in the simple, heartbreaking wish for "a tight hug like I do in my dreams." But the Finally section is where "Eternity" transforms from a mournful ballad into a spiritual declaration. Wear takes control of the narrative, moving beyond sorrow to deliver the song’s central, defiant philosophy: "what dies is not dead, disembodiment is just a passing." By concluding with the powerful, unwavering affirmation, "I love you until eternity and beyond," Elizabeth Wear ensures the track leaves the listener not broken, but profoundly moved by a love that is absolutely limitless. Based on this powerful foundation, the finished song is set up to be an emotional powerhouse.

Artist Interview: Shallo

  Meet SHALLO, the Dublin-based duo composed of Shawn and Willow, blending alternative rock and metal with high-energy live performances. In this interview, they share the story behind their music, their creative process, and what's next for the band. Tori: Congrats on your new single “Betrayal”! Can you tell us about the story behind it and how it came together? Shawn: It began with me having an initial idea for most of the song. I knew what I wanted the lyrical theme to be, and the riffs and melodies followed that. Most of our songs begin with that anyway, and I record it all into my computer and send it off to Willow. Willow: When I got the first draft of the song, one of the first ideas I had was in the bridge. The original version that Shawn sent me did not have any vocals for the bridge, just the riff. Shawn straight up told me "Do something here". This gave me the space to come up with the bridge vocal part that thematically fit the song. Tori: What was the inspir...
