The soft, melodious guitar overlaid with nostalgic synths, somber piano chords and Danielle’s resonant voice, curates a timeless piece that serves a greater purpose than just for “easy listening.” Her vulnerable lyrics like, “Calling out his name//With both hands on my heart with the pain” and, “Cuz the day that we both parted//Was the moment that I changed” are what strikes the song as more of a message than just a story. “Never Be the Same” is both a comforting hug, and a self-love letter to those who have gone through loss and are in search of finding who they are after it.
Using your voice for the greater good of society is what we should do when we are given the chance. There is no doubt that Danielle Mattachini has taken the opportunity to do so through her music.

Especially in “Never Be the Same,” where she voices her hurt from a past relationship, taking a sob story and spinning it into a glimmering lesson of how that shaped her as a person. With her lyrical vulnerability, wonderstruck encouragement and uplifting instrumentation, Danielle Mattachini’s single, “Never Be the Same” is in fact the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
