Talitha Ferri provides realistic comfort on sentimental new ballad "The Sadness Lasts Forever"

Don't get it twisted. Ferri's new single "The Sadness Lasts Forever" is a soft, comforting offering, but Ferri isn't here to make healing seem that easy. Instead, she provides realistic advice, wrapped up in the beauty of her voice.

"The Sadness Lasts Forever" is the second single to be released from Ferri's debut album Get Well Soon - after her debut track "Home" - and sees Ferri combine her delicate vocals with sombre strings and a plucky acoustic guitar melody.

Ferri sounds like Phoebe Bridgers and Adrianne Lenker in parts, allowing her high-pitched vocals to guide the ballad through gloomy woodland, her voice providing the only light source as the guitar strums consistently like rain on a cottage window.

While Ferri is realistic with her comfort by expressing "things they don't get better they just change", the Danish singer/songwriter also provides hope with her tender tone.

Ferri says of her new ballad, "I know the title can be misleading, that's why I chose to release it as a single. I felt that it needed a chance to explain itself. It's not a sad song. Sure, there's a lot of sadness in it, but there's a lot of sadness in everything. That doesn't make the world a sad place."

She adds, "If this song does anything, I want it to make people feel better. I want it to comfort and empower. But I'm not going to do that by telling someone that "everything is going to be fine". I hate that. Never in the history of ever has everything been fine, and it never will be. There is always something wrong and there is always someone hurting. I don't believe in trying to escape the sadness. I believe in accepting it. Allowing yourself to feel the weight of it all and moving on. You don't get to some point in your life where you get to live without it. But if you're lucky you can learn to understand it, to live alongside it. If you can look suffering in the eye and grow from it, then there is nothing you don't have the ability to move beyond. So yeah, The sadness does last forever, along with the joy, and the love, and the heartache. And there we are, somewhere in the middle of all of it, with the ability to become something new at every moment."
