Establishing the mood with a strummed guitar soundscape and emotive vocals, Jivarp opens You Were My Everything with the poignant lyrics, “All of my friends they tell me I’m in the gutter, I’m beaten down and broken, I’m going under, you’re all I think about each night and each day…”
The opus expands with the tale of being strung along by one’s muse – their hype man and James Dean, their everything. The message is super relatable, and we appreciate how the energy of the song manifests.
There is no doubt that You Were My Everything would be perfect for a heartbreak scene in a Hollywood coming-of-age movie or TV show like 13 Reasons Why. The raw authenticity that comes to life is tangible, and we deeply connect with Jivarp‘s songwriting which feels universal and also cathartic.
The Swedish artist confesses, “You Were My Everything is an emotional song about love, loss and the moments after a relationship ends. The song captures the feeling of realizing someone who once meant everything is now just a memory.”
We also love the vocalizations which add a playful dimensionality to the pop-rock track. Fans of Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, and Olivia Rodrigo will absolutely be able to connect with what Jivarp is creating.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added You Were My Everything to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Jivarp, including Summer Days, Hide Away, and Lost in the Night.
