A musical letter to a love that endures beyond loss
Some songs entertain. Others uplift. And then there are those rare few that hold your heart in their hands. “2 Years,” the latest release from Dutch singer-songwriter Simone Eversdjik, is one of those rare gifts — a song born not from ambition, but from compassion. A tribute. A comfort. A moment of connection for anyone who’s ever lost someone they loved.
Released on May 19, “2 Years” is a breathtaking piano ballad that unfolds like a whispered conversation between the living and the departed. Written as a tribute to a friend’s late mother, the song was inspired by real social media posts — raw reflections of grief that Simone transformed into melody, message, and meaning.
“I saw what my friend wrote after losing her mom. Her words moved me to tears. I felt the need to turn her pain into something beautiful — something that could tell her, even in silence: ‘You’re not alone,’” Simone shares.
From the first tender notes of piano, “2 Years” sets a tone of intimacy and reverence. Subtle orchestral textures swell beneath Simone’s warm, expressive voice, as saxophone solos drift in like distant memories. Orchestral percussion gives the track structure and rhythm without ever overpowering the emotion. The transition from minor key verses to major key choruses isn’t just a musical choice — it’s a spiritual one. It’s the shift from mourning to remembrance, from darkness to light.
Simone’s vocal delivery is pure, unforced, and haunting in its vulnerability. She doesn’t perform the song — she inhabits it. And the lyrics, both melancholic and tender, speak directly to the heart. There’s no pretense here. No theatrical sorrow. Just truth.
“2 Years” doesn't try to fix the pain. It walks beside it. It doesn't explain grief. It honors it.
The song is deeply personal, yet universally resonant. It offers solace without sentimentality, and strength without grandeur. For those who’ve lost a parent, a partner, a friend — “2 Years” feels like someone reaching out in the dark and taking your hand.
A voice of emotional clarity and musical elegance
Simone Eversdjik is no stranger to creating deeply felt music. Based in the Netherlands, she’s known for her rich blend of pop, soul, and symphonic influences. Her past releases have earned critical praise for their emotional depth and refined production, but “2 Years” marks a new level of vulnerability and artistic maturity.
There’s an almost cinematic quality to her songwriting — not in spectacle, but in storytelling. Each arrangement, each lyric, is precise and honest. And that’s what makes this single so powerful: it isn’t just about grief. It’s about memory, legacy, and the unbreakable thread that love weaves between people — even after one of them is gone.
“2 Years” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Listen to it when the world feels heavy. Listen when you miss someone you can’t call anymore. Or simply listen when you need a reminder that love, real love, never truly leaves.
