Never Ever

(Dateline: 01 November 2018, Casa Abadilla, Kawit, Cavite)

Made a dated joke on Facebook, greeted "Happy All Saints Day" on my wall with a link to this hit song from the all-female group that came out in the nineties. And being dated, no one appeared to get the joke. Or the ones who would were vacationing/staycationing away from Facebook. Or sadly worse, were no longer of this realm (pause).

Never ever have I ever felt so low
When you gonna take me out of this black hole?
Never ever have I ever felt so sad
The way I'm feeling yeah, you got me feeling really bad 

Never ever have I had to find
I've had to dig away to find my own peace of mind
I've never ever had my conscience to fight
The way I'm feeling, yeah, I just don't feel right

"Never Ever" is All Saints' breakout hit that once flooded the mainstream and international airwaves, released as a single in 10 November 1997. The group's self-titled album that contained it came out weeks later, 24 November. All Saints got its big break in November of the previous year when the recording deal for the album was sealed. Then on November 1998, All Saints was awarded Best New Act at the MTV Europe Music Awards held in Milan, Italy, where Never Ever was also nominated for Best Song.
