Me & Melancholy’s latest ‘Never Give Up” takes an electronic hook and synth backbone to tell and paint a larger picture on mental illness and perseverance. It’s got a groove and melody that’s sort of perpetual in its progression, a building intensity that just sort of continually starts to roll down a hill with added weight and depth of force with each passing second without really elevating itself into a new scale or dimension. It’s in that consistency that you really find yourself warped and locked in within “Never Give Up”. Me & Melancholy is moody in its melancholy but also straightforward and to the point in its messaging.
It’s an important piece, one that speaks to a specific crisis that is often underplayed by those who actually hold the capacity to make change. A symphony of sound for those suffering in silence.
