"Mended" was the second single from Perennial, Vera Blue's second album, arriving in May 2017. The Australian singer-songwriter wrote it while she was turning over past relationships, and it was her co-writer Thom who came up with the title; it brought back everything she'd left unsaid and the people she hadn't quite let go of. What she's after isn't a reunion so much as putting down the pain and the hurt and saying sorry, and by her own account the song never quite reaches the resolution it seems to be heading for.
It kept finding listeners long after release, going gold in 2019 and platinum in 2020.
