Forever

We'd like to present the last song on our latest album "birth, love, hate, death," a tune called "Forever." We had to end our rock opera in a meaningful manner and fittingly, it turned out to be the last song I wrote for the opera. I had to have written the songs before the finale before I could look back and see what was still necessary to say.

I wanted the character, Danielle, to sing about what she had learned living through the story in the opera and I believe that this goal was accomplished. At the same time I told Vin Crici, who handled the piano and orchestral parts on this song that we needed to invoke Beethoven and the 9th Symphony to make this a memorable finale. Well, it may not be the 9th Symphony, but Vinny - mission accomplished - thank you!

Here are the lyrics:

Forever: (Sung by Danielle)

I’ve lived so foolishly, I knew what I knew
Now truth is a mystery and love is the clue
Time is illusion, it’s here and it’s gone
You think there’s an answer, but life goes on
Forever and ever, I’ll love you, forever
The good days, the bad days
You’re in my heart for always
Love is the warm embrace, love is the saving grace
We need to show each other

Life is a veil of tears, we live ‘til we die
My dreams had disappeared until I opened my eyes
Forever and ever I’ll love you, forever
The good days, the bad days
You’re in my heart for always
Love is the warm embrace, love is the saving grace
We need to help each other
Forever and ever I’ll love you, forever
The good days, the bad days
You’re in my heart for always
Love is the warm embrace, love is the saving grace
We need to teach each other

Forever and ever I’ll love you, forever
The good days, The bad days
You’re in my heart for always
Love is the warm embrace, love is the saving grace
We need to love each other
Now truth is a mystery and love is the clue
