Elise Del Mar explores the emotional journey of denial in her newest single, “Over For Good”

Elise Del Mar’s “Over For Good” serves as the lead track from her upcoming EP, which features five over songs exploring the stages of grief, the emotional journey from loss and heartbreak to the process of reclaiming one’s identity. With “Over For Good”, Elise delves into the denial stage of the grief cycle, poignantly capturing the protagonist’s refusal to accept the finality of a shattered relationship.

Elise’s lyrical prowess shines through this song with intricate verses that resonate on a deeply relatable level; the opening line, “I still have your t-shirt in your drawer, guess you didn’t want it bad,” paints a vivid picture of denial, clinging to remnants of past love. The subsequent line, “or maybe there’s a chance that we’ll still work, and it’s your excuse to come right back,” encapsulates the depths of denial, as they song’s protagonist interpret their ex-partner’s actions as an intentional invitation for a potential reconciliation.

The production of the song further emphasise the story, featuring cinematic drums that bring an energetic powerful array through toms, dynamic rides, and crashing cymbals that create a sonic landscape that mirrors the song’s emotional intensity.

The spacious synths invoke a palpable sense of longing and loss, as Elise’s skillful utilisation of rhythmic acoustic guitars and vocals further enhance the song’s emotive and soul-stirring nature, and “Over For Good” is just a taste of the emotional depth and artistry.
