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.

LOVESICK
Neverest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can't go on like this,
Girl you're killing me.
It's going on a week
Without your love.
I know we made mistakes,
We played the game.
It would be such a shame
Let's take it serious.
Let's make an effort 'cause
We're losing it,
We gotta keep it strong.
And I know I want you
And you know you want me
We're both losing,
Can we make it stop?
Chorus:
I'm lovesick, so lovesick
I'm lovesick, Can we fix it?
I'm lovesick, So lovesick.
I'm lovesick
So what are we supposed to do?
To make it stop, stop.
Let's make it stop, stop.
I'm ready to love, I'm ready to love.
I'm lovesick, so lovesick
Verse:
I'm stepping to the plate,
While you step away
I'm center stage,
I'm looking for you.
So sick of feeling blue
Fever of 102.
It's 'cause I'm not with you,
So baby come back to me.
Let's take it serious.
Let's make an effort 'cause
We're losing it,
We gotta keep it strong.
And I know I want you
And you know you want me
We're both losing,
Can we make it stop?
Chorus:
I'm lovesick, so lovesick
I'm lovesick, Can we fix it?
I'm lovesick, So lovesick.
I'm lovesick
So what are we supposed to do?
To make it stop, stop.
Let's make it stop, stop.
I'm ready to love, I'm ready to love.
(I'm ready to love)
Make it stop, stop (ready).
Let's make it stop, stop (I'm ready).
I'm ready to love, I'm ready to love.
(I'm ready to love)
Bridge:
I'll be the first to say
I did make mistakes
That's why we're here face to face.
(Ready for a change)
Let's make a brand new start
And mend this broken heart
(Mend this broken heart)
'Cause I don't want to be lovesick.
Chorus:
I'm lovesick, so lovesick
I'm lovesick, Can we fix it?
I'm lovesick, So lovesick.
I'm lovesick
So what are we supposed to do?
To make it stop, stop.
Let's make it stop, stop.
I'm ready to love, I'm ready to love.

The radio needs to play more of the good old songs like this! Anything from 2011, 2010 and before! Screw the new music nowadays.

We can say that we're not in love, that the person who we're always talking about is only a friend, but in our heart, we know what are our feeling for that person. We can lie like we want,but one day, it'll be too late to tell the world that we're totally in love with one person. Because you know? Probably he's/she's lovesick for you, and you think he/she doesn't love you..
