In Their Words: “I wrote this song a couple years ago. Why I forgot about it I don’t know, but maybe it didn’t make sense to me. It resurfaced in my mind recently and hit me like a ton of bricks. I think the words and their weight matured over time. I’m just trying to be on speaking terms with death. I think it’s important.” — Paul Bergmann

LISTEN: Paul Bergmann, ‘Always, Forever’

Artist: Paul Bergmann
Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
Song: "Always, Forever"
Album: Stars and Streams
Release Date: August 26

In Their Words: "'Always, Forever' is an impersonal song for me. I feel a fond detachment toward it, as if it's always existed on its own. I don't remember finding the words to write it and sometimes I'm not sure it's me singing it. It seems to be about acceptance, love, the feeling of standing before a tall mountain. Meaning. But it's probably not about anything at all. Sometimes I wish to live in this song when I'm deeply sad." — Paul Bergmann
