Establishing the mood with an intricate piano, intertwined with a sublime saxophone performance and acoustic guitar details, Simone Eversdjik opens 2 Years with an emotive and cinematic energy as she shares the opening prose, “I wake up every morning, reach out to call your name, but you’re not there to answer me, it never feels the same…”
The opus expands as a moving ode to Simone’s mother as she sings, “It’s been 2 Years since you left me mum, I still miss you every day…”. The star’s authenticity is tangible, and the raw emotion that transmutes from Simone’s soul feels highly relatable.
The orchestral energy that grows as the song evolves feels perfect for a major Hollywood synch deal, related to the themes of the song. Simone’s vocal performance is transcendental and full of charm and depth. The spoken word finale is a nice touch, reminding us of early Whitney Houston!
The star conveys her feelings of love, loss, and hope with a sense of catharsis bringing sadness to light – tapping into the sentiment that many of us have felt with the grief that goes along with losing a loved one.
The piece holds a deeply emotional message which shows Simone’s talent for writing songs that comfort and connect. Naturally, we have added 2 Years to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Simone Eversdjik, including COME ON FEYENOORD, and GA JA MET ME MEE, created with ZuidStriders.
