Simm originally auditioned for the ITV reality TV show, Popstars. Ultimately, he made it into the final 10, but was not chosen to get into the winning group, Hear’Say.
The remaining five “losers”, including Simm, then formed the band Liberty X. They subsequently went on to gain more success than Hear’Say, including three albums and a UK number one single and Brit award for their track, “Just A Little”. Liberty X officially split up in 2007, where Simm later stated, “It gave me a chance to break free from a career that had become more like a day job. I’m now able to concentrate on getting back to the roots of why I had wanted to be an artist in the first place.”
Following Liberty X’s split in 2007, Simm began focusing on his solo career. Since then, he has created his own Myspace music profile, uploading demo tracks for his fans to hear his progress as a solo artist. In a March 2008 interview with Gordon McCully, he stated, “I’ve been very busy in the studio recording new solo tracks which I’ll hopefully be able to share with people very soon.” Simm has signed to JamDown Music, which his track “Brand New” is featured on their official website’s music player.
On 3 October 2008, Kevin's debut album, titled "Brand New", was released in Japan. The album has since appeared for purchase on iTunes stores across the world.
Never Enough
Kevin Simm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let it stay this way
Can't let this moment end
You set off a dream in me
Getting louder now
Can you hear it echoing?
Take my hand
Will you share this with me?
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the nightsky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never enough
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the nightsky
Will never be enough
Never be enough
Towers of gold are still too little
These hands could hold the world but it'll
Never be enough
Never be enough
For me
Never, never
Never, never
Never, for me
For me
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
Never, never
Never enough
For me
For me
For me
For me
The lyrics to Kevin Simm's song "Never Enough" talk about a feeling of insatiability or not being completely satisfied with what one has. The singer tries to capture a moment of joy and happiness that he does not want to end. He feels his dreams are finally coming true and is afraid to lose it all. The "shine of a thousand spotlights" and "stars we steal from the nightsky" represent the peak of success and achievement, but the singer realizes that no matter how much he has, it will never be enough for him.
The chorus emphasizes this notion. Even if the singer has "towers of gold" or "hands that could hold the world," he would still feel unfulfilled. The repetition of "never, never, never" emphasizes the idea that he will never be content. The singer realizes that this feeling is not just about him, and he asks his partner to share the experience with him. He wants to feel complete, but he knows that his abundance is not enough.
The song highlights the paradox of success and desire. Success may bring temporary happiness, but it also breeds more wants and desires. The lyrics urge people to appreciate what they have rather than constantly chasing a false sense of satisfaction.
