DYVR’s cover of ‘Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime’ is a cathartic message of acceptance

DYVR has released a brilliant rendition of The Korgis’ classic, “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime.” Released under Veta Records, this cover is a heartfelt interpretation with a profoundly positive twist.

DYVR ingeniously re-imagines the song’s message through a queer lens, transforming it into a cathartic anthem of acceptance for the queer and trans community. The lyrics, once thought of as a love song, take on a new life as a powerful narrative of spiritual growth and embracing change. In DYVR’s hands, the track becomes more than just a cover—it’s a celebration of diversity and resilience.

“Originally released by The Korgis in 1980, this song is often imagined as a love song but in fact, the message is about spiritual growth and accepting change,” DYVR says about the cover. The instrumentals showcase DYVR’s knack for creating atmospheric, transcendent sounds. The electronic elements seamlessly blend with the original essence of the track, creating a sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and fresh. The production choices are nothing short of masterful, breathing new life into a timeless classic.

Beyond the melodies, DYVR’s release carries a meaningful purpose. The single is part of a fundraising campaign for Rainbow Migration, a charity dedicated to assisting LGBTQ+ asylum seekers in the UK who are fleeing persecution. With this initiative, DYVR turns music into a force for positive change, using their art to support a cause that resonates with the message of acceptance embedded in the song.

DYVR’s approach to to the original song not only pays homage to the original but also serves as a testament to the artist’s vision for growth and change. The cover is a reminder that music has the power to transcend boundaries, connect communities, and inspire positive transformation.
