about

I knew I wanted to make a ballad to close out the EP and calm people down a bit. I really struggled with writing this song. I made the first verse bit one day, and wasn't too thrilled. Before going to bed, I thought of a cool key progression (which is what became the chorus) and I wrote it down to work with it the next day. Strangely, the chorus is only repeated twice -- once acoustically and once at the end with heavy guitar.

I love those mellotron flutes in there.

I think 'Forever' came out as a really fantastic ballad; I really love this song. It has the perfect amount of calm and triumph before the end of the EP. The lyrics are sad as well, which seems to be something that I haven't been able to avoid with Rainwound stories to date.

lyrics

If I close my eyes and focus I remember what you looked like
When you smiled and waved goodbye on that Tuesday morning

No matter what I've been through
I will remember you forever

I remember your eyes, I remember your smile
The way you laughed and almost never frowned
I will always remember the life we had
Even though the sorrow drives me mad

These ten years have been a constant struggle to tolerate the change
Everyday I wonder why it happened, and why I still remain

And though the years are long
Somehow I must continue on
