Ryan Henderson discovered his passion for music during his high school years when he attended the Woodford Folk Festival and was captivated by the performances of Angus & Julia Stone. Inspired by their music, he embarked on a journey to learn the guitar and pursue a career in music.
Matt Carins, on the other hand, grew up in a musical environment in Brisbane. His father is a member of a local cover band and has also written albums, while his mother is proficient in piano and flute, teaching these instruments as well. Carins' sister is a pianist, and his brother is involved in an alternative rock band, highlighting the family's musical connections.
The band released their debut EP, "Drifting," in October 2014. Following the release of "Drifting," Hollow Coves quickly gained international recognition, especially with the success of their hit single "The Woods" in 2017.
Drawing inspiration from artists such as Angus & Julia Stone, Ben Howard, and The Paper Kites, Hollow Coves blends an earthy folk sound, featuring simple acoustic melodies, rich vocal harmonies, and profound themes. Their music resonated with audiences, propelling them to the top of notable charts like Hype Machine and THR's Top TV Songs.
Initially, the duo recorded their music in a garage before parting ways, with Henderson heading to Canada and Carins to England. Despite the distance, their music garnered significant attention on platforms like Spotify, leading to widespread acclaim and record deals. In 2017, Hollow Coves signed with Nettwerk and released their debut EP, "Wanderlust". While physically apart, they continued to collaborate remotely, utilizing online resources to write and record songs.
In 2019, the group returned with their nostalgia-laden first full-length titled "Moments".
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Matt Carins, previously working as a carpenter, joined forces with Ryan Henderson to construct a production studio and a soundproof room for practicing and recording their music, highlighting their commitment to their craft even during challenging times.
Evermore
Hollow Coves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It grew inside my heart
It changed me from that day
This love I can't contain
I waited for a sign
So patient and divine
For fate was on our side
That you are all
I was hoping for
It's you I'll call
My evermore
The garden as our home
A place where we can grow
You're planted in my soul
To nurture and to hold
'Cause you are all
I was hoping for
It's you I'll call
My evermore
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
'Cause you are all
I was hoping for
It's you I'll call
My evermore
The opening lines of the song "Evermore" by Hollow Coves delve into the singer's feelings, as they describe an emotion that "grew" inside their heart, and how it progressively "changed" them. It's a song about love, as made evident by the next line, "This love I can't contain." The singer has a strong emotional attachment to the person they're singing about.
The second verse is about how the singer waited "patiently" for a "sign", and it was all worth it because "fate" was on their side, leading to the discovery of this person who is "all" they could hope for. The singer calls this person their "evermore", a portmanteau of "ever" and "more" that can be interpreted to mean something like "forever more", indicating a long-lasting love with someone who meets all of their expectations.
The final verse continues the garden imagery used in the second verse, with the garden now described as a "home" where they can "grow" together. The person in question is "planted" in the singer's soul and will be nurtured and held onto. The repetition of "you are all" and "it's you I'll call my evermore" solidifies the belief that the singer has found the one they want to spend the rest of their life with.
Overall, this song encapsulates the feeling of finding true love with someone who fulfills all of your expectations and is someone you want to grow with.
