Curate, connect, and discover
Forever by Alekseev is probably one of the most painful songs I have ever heard. The dramatic and intense music that manages to be nostalgic, heartbreaking and soothing all at the same time, his voice that changes through the song and expresses so much, the lyrics.
Let's analyse the lyrics just for a moment.
It must be something that we call love Wherever I go, I'm coming back And time cannot knock me off my track This resolution is final
PLEASE. I don't know about you but I can feel the pain etched in this beautiful declaration of love. It feels like, I will always come back and never forget you no matter what I do, I can’t escape from you. and the way he says "something that we call love" MMMM. Like, I have no idea what this feeling is but it must be love.
But there's more.
It must be something that we call love It's when you're craving to say her name And my reality seems to break Apart with her arrival
Like, guys. If this isn't the declaration of self-destructive love I don't know what it is. Her presence alone is enough to make him doubt everything he knows, it brings him into a whole knew reality molded by her. Also, the use of the verb “crave” says everything by itself: utter desperation and need.
Let’s go on, we’re in for the whole ride.
No need to worry, rain falling down It's our happiest story and there's no one around We will go for it and I know you'll be mine forever
The first line. Sang with this soft voice, it gives me a sense of resignation that is shown with the representation of rain. I feel like he’s saying don’t worry, just accept it, you can’t change this like you can’t stop the rain. “It’s our happiest story” oh my god. It can’t go better than this, it’s the best we’re gonna get. Resignation again, resignation everywhere. And we will go for it, you’ll be mine forever. Is he talking about death? For me, he is.
Windows wide open, flying so high Both of us roaming through a magnificent sky Rain keeps on falling and I know you'll be mine forever
There’s freedom in the acceptance of one’s destiny. That’s all I have to say about these lyrics.
It must be something that we call dream When all you told me, I know by heart The type of beauty I call supreme And how it's driving me crazy
This knocked me off my feet. This is the turning point of the song. He introduces a crucial word: dream. An idealized love surrounded by the madness its intensity arouses, a morbid need that suffocates reason. Again, the absolute idealization of her beauty and the terrific awe it inspires in the last two lyrics.
And we’re down to our last lyrics.
You'll always sing me something new I will always follow When I first saw you here I knew That I was blind before you
AND THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMEN AND ENBIE COLONELS IS THE ULTIMATE DECLARATION OF LOVE. I mean, singing has always been an act of love for me, a storyteller who comforts you at night with a soft voice and tales of forgotten lands. He seems a lost child who has found his sweet north star. And that last fucking line. I die. It represents such a worship that could and will redesign his entire world, such a worship that makes of her the only truth.
If you have read so far thank you for enduring me and sorry for the pain. Forewarned is forearmed. :’)
