When the Woods Go Quiet: Dalloway’s “NEVERENDING” Faces the End with Grace

Alt-pop artist Dalloway turns existential dread into something achingly beautiful on “NEVERENDING” — a sweeping, bittersweet meditation on the slow unraveling of the world as we know it. Written mid–panic attack after doomscrolling climate change content, the song captures that sickening mix of urgency, grief, and eerie calm that comes from realizing the “end” is rarely sudden — it’s a gradual shift into something unrecognizable.

Backed by a full orchestra recorded in Bulgaria, Dalloway’s voice floats through lush strings and cinematic arrangements, her lyrics grappling with questions like: Will future generations notice what’s missing when the forests fall silent? Will they mourn what they never knew?

The track doesn’t offer easy hope, but it does offer perspective — that even in endings, something remains. It’s a reminder to mourn, bear witness, and keep moving forward, even when the weight of it all feels unbearable.

For a song born in spiraling anxiety, “NEVERENDING” emerges as a strangely steady hand — the kind that reaches out in the dark and says, I know. Let’s keep going.
