A gorgeous indie pop gem that powerfully reflects on facing internal battles while reminding us that we are never alone in our struggles.
Multi-talented artist, songwriter, and producer Lyves (Francesca Bergami) returns with a deeply moving indie pop single titled “For Eden.” Known for her genre-defying style—blending elements of jazz, Motown, soul, experimental electronica, folk, and R&B—Lyves draws inspiration from artists like 2Pac, Tracy Chapman, Sade, Frank Ocean, Philip Glass, and James Blake, forging a sound that is uniquely her own.
On Instagram, Lyves revealed the heartfelt origin behind “For Eden”:
“It was written for someone I love deeply, and for all the beautiful and brave souls I’ve had the privilege to meet and support.”
With a professional background in mental health, she added:
“I spent many years working in mental health settings—amplifying the voices of children and adults navigating some of life’s toughest moments. Destigmatizing mental health is something I care about deeply… I hope this song offers a moment of comfort, a sense of being seen. Healing is always possible.”
Musically, “For Eden” is a stunning fusion of soft piano, ambient electronic layers, and subtle beats that evoke a sense of peace and reflection. The track’s folk and indie-pop influences build a dreamy soundscape, allowing Lyves’ soulful vocals and emotional lyricism to shine.
Lines like: “For years I didn’t speak, Became a shell of my former self… Medication stole my dreams, But I’m still alive” resonate as honest reflections on mental health, trauma, and survival. With this single, Lyves doesn’t just deliver music—she offers a message of solidarity and hope.
