With a variety of themes and messages within these 10 songs, At the End of Everything appears to be the trio’s strongest album to date. A fitting last album to commemorate a musical career with many accolades and accomplishments, At the End of Everything is sure to stand out in February 2013, releasing in the same month as other comparable album titles, like Jeremy Camp’s Reckless, Plumb’s Need You Now and Salvador’s Make Some Noise! With Everlife writing songs about love, loss, hope, rejection, perseverance, relationships and the love that comes through our deepening relationship with Christ these three sisters from Indiana Pennsylvania have given us an acoustic record full of personal reflections and heartfelt songs that give us a glimpse into their hearts and the motivation behind their songwriting and singing. With Everlife now having released their final album At the End of Everything so that the sisters can part ways and travel on many other ventures that God has in store for them the album given to fans and listeners (which was entirely funded via kickstarter) showcases a mix of pop, acoustic, worship and thought-provoking messages as we ourselves ponder how our own lives will be like personally at the end of everything. ![]() Going back to listen to their previous records to find quality songs in ‘Find Yourself in You’, ‘Angels Cry’, even the cover of the Tarzan song ‘Strangers Like Me’ and the popular mainstream hit ‘Real Wild Child’ (written for the movies Wild Child and The Wild) led myself to see the talent of this group and the solid grounding faith shown through each of these three women through their heartfelt songs. Releasing hit songs throughout their musical career, it was the 2010 hit ‘What’s Beautiful’ (both the song and music video) and their personal testimonies on RansomTV that led me to be intrigued by this trio. It always gets me going.Famous for their Disney covers during the promotion of their music in the mainstream market throughout the late 2000s, the trio of sisters in Everlife (Amber, Sarah and Julia Ross) have matured and grown spiritually (and physically too, with their first debut album released in 2004 with all three sisters in their early teens) throughout their time as a band. She told Spinmagazine: “It’s the last song I play before I walk onstage and the first song I play when I get off stage. Other cover versions include “Real Wild Child” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts (1993), “Wild One” by Status Quo (2003) and Christian pop band Everlife’s “Real Wild Child,” which appears as the theme song in Disney’s The Wild (2006). > Iggy Pop’s version has featured in the movies Adventures in Babysitting (1987) and Problem Child 2 (1991).Ī cover by Christopher Otcasek featured in Pretty Woman (1989). In Australia this has been used as the theme music for the ABC’s all-night music video show Rage for over 20 years. The lyrics are about youngsters wanting to be cool and wild. Often referred to by his nickname, “The Wild One,” O’Keefe was the first Australian Rock star. Johnny O’Keefe (1935-1978) was a pioneering Australian Rock singer whose career began in the 1950s and ended with his early death in the late 1970s of barbiturate poisoning. The album Blah Blah Blah peaked at #75 in the Billboard Album Charts, #61 in Canada, #43 in the UK, and #19 in New Zealand in 1986. The song peaked at #1 in New Zealand, #10 in the UK, #65 in Canada, and #27 in the Mainstream Rock Billboard Charts. ![]() Released as a single, it became his only UK Top 10 hit. Iggy Pop covered it for his Blah Blah Blah album. ![]() The song was an immediate hit and made Johnny O’Keefe the first Australian rocker to reach the national charts. ![]() This song was originally recorded by Australian rocker Johnny O’Keefe with The Deejays in 1958 as “Wild One.” Deejays saxophonists Johnny Greenan and Dave Owens drafted the song over drinks after a particularly wild concert and Johnny O’Keefe later chipped in. This is probably the first song I remember by Iggy Pop back in the 80s.
