Revered Evermore
Evermore are no one-hit wonder. The New Zealand brothers who’ve long called Melbourne home have been doing their thing since 1999, putting out 5 albums and 12 singles, and taking their signature brand of melodic emo rock across Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
‘It’s Too Late’, though, is certainly a wonder. “I’m running from the city lights; I’m running from this empty life … Ride on, ride till early morning sun … It’s too late, to let all your feelings show” Like a mini road movie, the lyrics speed across our wide open roads, carried along on an earnest yet entrancing melody.
The 2004 Dreams single deserved far better than its #16 chart rating. (Its prospects would not have been helped by the music video, which eschewed bitumen in favour of Brisbane mangroves and clock pieces.) The clip presented here is a live recording from 2009 at the Sydney Metro. ‘It’s Too Late’ is not just another rock song. And this Moshcam video is not just another live recording of it. Enjoy.
