THE OFFICIAL HOME OF EVELYN MARLOWE

Evelyn
Marlowe

Love. Song. Story.

Music for the moments we carry with us — love, family, memory, loss, weddings, home, midnight thoughts and finding happiness again.

The world of Evelyn

She loved. She lost. She travelled. She survived. Then, one day, love found her again.

Evelyn Marlowe is not built around one mood or one genre. Her songs follow the emotional chapters of a life: the family we imagined, the relationships that changed us, the nights nobody saw us hurting, the roads we took alone, and the unexpected joy of beginning again.

Closed Eyes lives in grief, memory and survival. After Dark belongs to sleepless nights and private thoughts. Wedding Songs celebrates love and family. Christmas in Australia brings sunlight, home, gum trees and summer into Christmas music.

Closed Eyes
Closed Eyes — official Evelyn Marlowe album cover

I close my eyes…
and they are still here.

The emotional centre of Evelyn’s story. A record about the people we carry, the homes we remember, what grief changes, and the love that remains after a moment has passed.

Listen to Closed Eyes
After Dark

The songs she wrote
when nobody else was listening.

A quieter, darker chapter of Evelyn’s catalogue — motherhood, absence, growing older, family, anniversaries, grief and the thoughts that arrive when the rest of the world is asleep.

From this Day On

The woman behind the songs

The life she planned was not the life she got.

Evelyn grew up believing there was a simple order to happiness: find love, marry, have children and grow old together. Instead, her marriage broke, the future she imagined disappeared, and she spent years learning how to live alone.

She drove when the pain became too loud. She travelled when staying still became impossible. She rebuilt a life one road, one country and one ordinary day at a time. Then, when she had almost stopped expecting it, love returned—with a family, laughter, belonging and a different kind of home.

“She had lost the life she expected. That was not the same as losing her life.”

The Life I Never Planned — Evelyn Marlowe
Out now · the memoir

The Life I Never Planned.

She made her plan when she was nine, and it was beautifully simple: fall in love, marry, buy a house and never pack another box. Her parents would live to a hundred. There would be a cake too big for the table.

Almost none of it happened. This is the story of the life that arrived instead — thirteen first days, a marriage fought for long after it began hurting, four daughters lost without a funeral, and a night above a black ocean when closing her eyes was the only thing left to do.

It moves through the same worlds as the music—Closed Eyes, After Dark, second chances and the idea that home can be rebuilt. Includes seven song lyrics and Notes on the Music.
