When Spee first began putting together the band that would ultimately become Neverest, he intended it to be a heavy rock outfit, a vehicle to challenge the limits of the skills he was developing as a drummer studying jazz percussion at York University. And though the original band drifted apart, Spee’s efforts to keep the project alive led to a musical partnership with Mike Klose (guitar/keys) that ultimately would form the core of Neverest.
After joining forces in 2007, Mike and Spee began working with producer Mike ‘MK’ Kiofos of Vic Park Productions (Keshia Chanté, Aleesia, Snow, Massari and Dan Talevski), honing their songwriting skills, gradually developing a collective writing and recording process and re-evaluating their sound. "If you don't have songs you have nothing. That was priority one; the eight-minute metal odysseys had to go.”
With Mike’s help, Neverest began applying their talents to more compact arrangements; blending big guitars, massive pop/ R&B beats and hooky melodies to create a brand of heavy rock infused pop. It was a dramatic change of direction, but one rooted in Mike and Spee’s broad palette of shared musical influences. As the project gained momentum Neverest also began to attract the attention of Vic Park’s managers, 3 Street Management, ultimately winning them the combined expertise and support of CJ Huyer (3Deep) and Howie Dorough (Backstreet Boys).
With 3 Street on board and their creative energy at an all-time high, Neverest went on the hunt to complete their lineup with a new rhythm section.
First to join was Timmins based drummer, Brendan Colameco, in March 2010, after coming across Neverest’s Craigslist ad by sheer luck. Nineteen-year old Brendan had already spent two years working as a session drummer, building up a list of studio credits that run the gamut from hard rock to jazz and hip hop. What he initially imagined would be a chance to add another credit to his name as a hired gun soon turned into an invitation to join Neverest full time and put his own stamp on the band’s evolving sound. Within a month Brendan left Timmins and moved into the Chalkiotis family home in Maple, Ontario, which doubles as the band’s rehearsal space.
Last in, in May 2010, Paul Loduca, a self-taught guitarist who was then the driving force behind another band Kiofos was producing.
Since completing their lineup in May 2010 Neverest have continued writing and recording tracks. About Us hit the radio in October 2010 in tandem with a video directed by RT of The NE Inc. Additional singles, exclusive material and online only content will follow in the months leading up to the Spring/Summer 2011 release of Neverest’s, full length debut.

Hello Goodbye
Neverest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your promises have shattered, and even turned to lies
And when i feel the hurting, i sent an sos
It's like you never heard it, we just can't make it
You revealed your it, when you looked into my eyes and start your lies
And i couldn't see it (i couldn't see it)
You took me by, you took me by surprise.
Cuz you left me, you left me, you left me, so hello and good bye
Whoever thought that it'd come to this, i never had a clue
It's come to me as a real surprise, as i'm sure it has for you
And when i feel the hurting, i sent an sos
It's like you never heard it, we just can't make it
You revealed your it, when you looked into my eyes and start your lies
And i couldn't see it (i couldn't see it)
You took me by, you took me by surprise.
Cuz i don't believe it, and no other part of me thats safe from you has died
Cuz you left me, you left me, you left me, so hello and good bye
You came and took what you wanted, you left me with nothing at all
I'm a fool to think i can make it, did you enjoy watching me fall?
Did you feel, feeling anything, is that why you were so cold?
How could you make me the enemy, for loving you from my soul?
You revealed your it, when you looked into my eyes and start your lies
And i couldn't see it (i couldn't see it)
You took me by, you took me by surprise.
Cuz i don't believe it, and no other part of me thats safe from you has died
Cuz you left me, you left me, you left me, so hello and good bye
The lyrics of Neverest's song Hello Goodbye seem to be about a painful breakup with someone who the singer loved deeply, but who turned out to be a liar and a betrayer. The song is full of emotional intensity, with the chorus repeating the words 'Hello and Goodbye' as a way of expressing the finality of the relationship.
The first verse begins with the singer accusing their former lover of breaking promises and telling lies. They talk about how they reached out for help ('sent an SOS') but their pleas for help fell on deaf ears, as their partner was unable or unwilling to respond. The second verse delves more deeply into the confusion and pain that the singer feels, as they recount how they were blindsided by the breakup and how they never thought it would come to this.
The third verse is perhaps the most poignant, as the singer wonders whether their former lover felt anything for them at all. They express their deep hurt that the person they loved could just walk away as if it meant nothing, leaving them feeling like a 'fool' and questioning whether they were ever truly loved.
Overall, the lyrics of Hello Goodbye are a powerful expression of heartbreak and betrayal, with the chorus providing a moving and final farewell to a relationship that has ended in pain and sadness.

You took what you wanted from our relationship and left me with nothing. I am foolish for believing that I could save the relationship. Did you take pleasure in seeing me suffer?
