Evermore are a band originally from Feilding, New Zealand, now based in Melbourne, Australia. The band consists of Jon (guitar, vocals, album production), and Peter (keyboards, bass) and Dann Hume. The band have released three platinum-selling albums, Dreams (2004), Real Life (2006) and Truth of the World: Welcome to the Show (2009) and a self-titled greatest hits album including three new songs. They have been nominated for seven ARIA Awards, and have won two Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards. They have won the APRA Silver Scroll songwriting award, and the Channel V Oz Artist of the Year Award.
Evermore started in 1999 consisting of brothers Jon, Peter, and Dann. Jon was born in Australia, while Peter and Dann were born in New Zealand. The three were raised and home-schooled in Feilding, Manawatu. The brothers were introduced to music at a young age by their parents, and frequently listened to their record collection. The name "Evermore" was taken from the Led Zeppelin song "The Battle of Evermore" in 1999. Jon says the trio's parents were highly supportive of them taking up music, stating "they always wanted us to do something creative...Nothing was too risky." In 2012, youngest brother Dann took a break from playing drums with Evermore to pursue his own singing and production career. He supported the Lisa Mitchell tour in 2012 as Danco.
Too many words, too many lies
I can't quite see the truth
When I look into your eyes
I feel I could
And I know I should
Step away, turn around
Let my feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
You don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
We don't need to be decieved
To know a lie can be spoken
We don't have to learn everything twice
I don't know, I really don't know
If this castle in the sand
Is strong enough to stand
Clouds come down
Clouds come down
I feel I could
And I know I should
Step away, turn around
Let my feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
You don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
We don't need to be decieved
To know a lie can be spoken
We don't have to learn everything twice
Cos I know how it feels
All the pain is so real
Cos you sink and you drown
'Till your feet hit the ground
Running
Running
Running
Running
Cos you don't need a broken heart
To know a heart can be broken
You just need to open your eyes
And we don't need a TV show
To show us which way to go
We just need to do what we know
