Have you ever known a person who did you wrong time and time again, but they’ll constantly paint you as the villain in their story? If you have, then Amy Pinkus has the perfect song for you to find the carefree state of mind and consider them forgotten. Her new single “Everything We Never Had” is all about someone running their mouth and her not giving them the time of day. It’s a pop anthem with bright guitar, fun synths and snappy beats. Amy’s harmonies are angelic and the melody finds its way in your head after just one listen. This single is exactly what you need to leave toxicity behind and keep walking towards the sun up ahead. After all, ignoring the lies they keep spitting is the best revenge.
“Everything We Never Had” paints a picture of messy endings and conflicting sides. Amy stated that she originally wrote this song as a joke and never intended to release it, but it was too fun not to share. I’m sure anyone who has listened is insanely grateful it came to light because it’s the relatable bop we all need. We’ve all dealt with fallouts in relationships whether it was romantic or platonic. It can get messy when someone trashes your character just so they can sleep at night, convinced they were a saint by anyone who listened. “Attention, you’d do anything for it.” One thing I’ve learned from people like this is that it will always catch up to them. There’s no need to sulk and get caught up trying to prove them wrong. The truth will always come out in time, so don’t waste yours. “I can’t be bothered no more, with you and all the nonsense.”
Amy Pinkus is an indie-pop singer songwriter from Toronto, Ontario. She was immersed in music her entire life and began writing her own music by the age of six. Her music has become known for her heartfelt lyrics and smooth layered harmonies. While Amy has been writing since she was a kid, she officially made her debut with her single “How’s Your New Wife?” earlier this year. After many covers shared on instagram, she is finally bringing all her talent to the table. Since her debut she has added four other tracks to her discography and I have no doubt it will continue to grow before this year ends. Amy may only be fresh out the gate with her original work, but she’s already a force. Check out the links below to witness her incredible artistry.
