If music has the power to heal, then Lilly Bedard’s “Not Everything Ends” is a remedy for the weary heart. With delicate folk-pop melodies and lyrics that cut straight to the soul, this song is a quiet triumph—a love letter to the kind of connection that endures. It’s tender, it’s vulnerable, and above all, it’s real.
The instrumentation is deceptively simple, allowing Bedard’s voice to take centre stage. And what a voice it is—rich with emotion, yet soft enough to feel like a whispered confession. The gentle strumming and layered harmonies add depth, creating a sonic landscape that feels like a place of comfort.
Lyrically, “Not Everything Ends” is breathtaking. Every line carries weight, yet nothing feels heavy. Bedard’s words are a mix of hope and honesty, capturing the cautious wonder of discovering love that doesn’t fade. “I thought love was meant to leave, but here you are,” she sings, and it feels like the answer to a question so many have asked.
This song is for anyone who has loved and lost, but dared to try again. It doesn’t promise perfection, but it offers something even more valuable—the possibility of something lasting. It acknowledges the past while embracing the future, creating a balance that makes the song feel both personal and universal.
With “Not Everything Ends,” Lilly Bedard proves that she isn’t just another singer-songwriter—she’s a storyteller, a healer, and an artist with something to say. This song isn’t just a melody—it’s a moment of realization, a deep breath after a long journey. And it’s one that will stay with listeners long after the music fades.
