Listen to Caroline Rose cover “Don’t You Ever” by Joanna Sternberg
thefader.comThe FADER’s transgender charity covers compilation FADER & Friends Volume 1 is out now, available exclusively on Bandcamp until December 1, 2023.
100% of the proceeds go towards the Transgender Law Center, Mermaids, and Rainbow Railroad. Throughout the month of November, we’re speaking to the artists who contributed to the 44-song collection about the songs they covered.
Joanna Sternberg's 2019 album Then I Try Some More ends with "Don't You Ever," an acoustic guitar ballad channeling the push-and-pull between resilience and fatalism.
Caroline Rose's cover takes the song into a more jaunty and indie-folk-inspired direction — Rose sounds like they're throwing their arms around the listener, dusting us off, and sending us to face the day with a new mantra: "Don't you dare feel like you are alone." Listen to the song below and buy the full album on Bandcamp.
