1) Everly is a folk-girl… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with this name:
1) Everly is a folk-girl-duo comprising of actress Bethany Joy Galeotti and her music partner and friend Amber Sweeney. "Bethany Joy Galeotti and Amber Sweeney have been writing songs individually for as long as they can remember. In 2008 they decided to use their long-time friendship for greater good creating Everly, realizing that two songwriters are better than one. They recently released a three song, acoustic album on iTunes entitled “Mission Bell.” So far, the album has seen great success holding the #2 spot on iTunes folk charts for several days and remaining on the top 100 for over a month. Everly is signed to Hilasterion Records with plans to record an album this summer." credit: Tin Pan South
"Amber and I have been friends for upwards of 8 years. We decided it would be fun to "pool" our talents and write together, creating Everly. Our first EP was more folk-driven, while our newer stuff (which we plan to record this summer) is more Frou Frou / Peter Gabriel type. Home Is Me. You Are Mine was written as a lullaby for our troops. We have so much respect for them and wanted to write something that would bring comfort to them and to their families. Stars is about life in the public eye and how, at the end of the day, everyone has to go home and take their makeup off and look in the mirror and deal with who they really are. It's about knowing that you're loved by God regardless of whether or not you are loved by the public.Little Children is about marriage and struggle and perseverance. Everyone struggles in relationship, but we wanted to end the song on a childlike, uplifting note so as to encourage and say "you are not alone, and you can choose to be hopeful and fight through!" - Bethany Joy Galeotti

Everly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He tempted me with a wicked tongue and a rough hand
Said it's alright honey it's alright
You can leave that man
When I woke my head was spinning
As I recall all of the things he said
Made me feel less of a woman
Making me feel like a whore instead
I won't be going to my grave
I got a lot to live for
I won't be rocking in my faith
Yeah yeah yeah
I got a lot to hope for
I dreamed of a Devil last night
Amazing such a little thing
Can get in your head
Saying it's alright it's alright
You can stay in my bed
Stay in my bed
Stay here in my
No no no no
I'm not going to my grave
I got a lot to live for
I won't be rocking in my faith
Yeah yeah yeah
I got a lot to hope for
I'm not going to my grave
Yeah yeah yeah
I got a lot to live for
Little children
Go in circles
He will sing you lullabies
Little children
Rest your heads
No more monsters
No more devils
You are not who the wicked call you
Peace and strong and joy
Pure and peace and strong and joy
All you little children
Oh you little children
The song "Little Children" by Everly is one that tells the story of a woman who is struggling with temptation and self-doubt.

The dream leaves her feeling confused and questioning herself as a woman. She feels like a whore instead of a woman, as the devil made her think less of herself. However, as the song continues, she becomes more determined to live her life with purpose and not allow herself to be tempted or led astray.
In the chorus, she sings that she won't be going to her grave anytime soon because she has a lot to live for and a lot to hope for. She won't let herself be shaken by doubts or temptations, and she is determined to hold onto her faith. The song ends with the singer encouraging little children to rest their heads and not to listen to the wicked who try to bring them down. She reminds them that they are pure, strong, and filled with joy.
The lyrics of "Little Children" are powerful and relatable for many people. The struggle with self-doubt and temptation is something that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. The song shows that it is possible to overcome these struggles and find strength and hope in oneself.
