Returning with her latest single, Lilly Bedard’s “Not Everything Ends” is an ode to resilience, hope, and the transformative power of love. Known for her thoughtful lyricism and evocative melodies, Bedard takes a significant creative leap with this release, embracing a more optimistic tone while maintaining her signature authenticity.
What makes “Not Everything Ends” particularly compelling is the journey that led to its creation. Bedard’s songwriting process is as intricate as it is personal, and this track almost didn’t come to be. Struggling to find the right musical framework for her emotions, she nearly abandoned the song altogether. “Every progression I played clashed with the words, like they were fighting each other instead of working together,” she recalls. However, in a moment of serendipity, she found the chord progression that resonated so profoundly it moved her to tears. From there, the song flowed effortlessly, and she managed to write the rest of it in just twenty minutes. This organic process lends the track an emotional quality that listeners can immediately connect with.
Beyond its technical craftsmanship, “Not Everything Ends” carries a strong message of hope and permanence. It is Bedard’s first true love song, and in writing it, she challenges both her own doubts and those of others about her ability to capture joy in her music. “I hope this song is the start of something new- a different side of my songwriting,” she shares.
Featuring a blend of folk and alternative pop influences, “Not Everything Ends” is a poignant reminder that love and healing can coexist. With more songs to come and a unique ability to create music that resonates with people, Lily Bedard is cementing herself as one of the best emerging singer-songwriters in the modern musical landscape.
