“Still Can’t Move On” by Etham is the heartbreak anthem that completely drenches you in emotions. From the very first notes, that soft, melancholic guitar strumming sets the stage, like the opening scene of a romance movie where you already know the ending is going to hurt. And then Etham’s voice comes in, warm, rich, and velvety, like molten chocolate melting into the melody. He feels the words as he sings them, and so do we.
The lyrics are longing wrapped in regret, the lines reflect the sting of loving someone who’s already gone. “I didn’t need anyone / ‘Til you came and showed me just how wrong I was”—that line alone is a gut-punch, but when Etham delivers it with that aching falsetto, it’s downright devastating. His voice rises with desperation, dips into soulful lows, then soars with an almost sensual pain, like he’s still trapped in the moment of goodbye, unable to step forward. It’s mesmerizing, gripping, and painfully relatable.
The production stays simple, letting his voice carry the weight of the song’s emotion, but there’s a cinematism in the way everything slowly builds. The melodies wrap around you like a memory you can’t shake, a reminder of something—or someone—you still feel lingering in the lone moments.
Etham has always had a knack for making heartfelt artpieces straight from his soul, and “Still Can’t Move On” is no exception. Listen to it on those bad nights and let it comfort you.
