a quiet light for the ones we miss

boxwood ivy’s new single, ever for ever, moves with the softness of a photograph held too long between your fingers. it is a gentle, aching release that carries a lifetime of memory in its palm. nothing here feels rushed. it unfolds slowly, like a story told by someone who still loves the person they are speaking of.

based between detroit and nashville, ivy shapes a sound that feels warm, analogue, and heavy with feeling. the production, crafted with sinclair, glows with a subtle americana hush. guitars shimmer like late evening light. the vocal is worn in but steady, full of the kind of truth you cannot fake. woven through it all is the presence of johnny buda, ivy’s lifelong friend and bandmate, whose spirit anchors the song. their sixty year bond, born in mischievous classrooms and carried through decades of music, gives the track its emotional gravity.

ever for ever arrives as a standalone single, created to honour a friend whose life ended too soon. ivy chose to finish the song they once began together, turning it into something tender and lasting. it lands like a final letter, warm and bittersweet, a reminder of how friendship lives on in the things we make.
