Our Playlist: Forever (Six60)

I guess it's something most couples have - various songs that mean something to them, that symbolise a point in their relationship, that symbolise how they feel about each other, etc etc etc.  I'm not sure if it's the long distance aspect, or just the way WE are, but Lauriel and I are both very passionate about OUR songs.  If you're friends with either of us on Facebook, you'll know we often post songs for each other - I think it's yet another way that we can feel close, even with all those pesky kilometers (or miles for those of you in the US, etc) between us.  From very early on, it has been a song that we have known will play a large part in our wedding.

So here is the first of OUR songs, that I am going to share with you - Forever, by (amazing, awesome, brilliant) New Zealand band, Six60.  This song is my ringtone and my alarm on my cellphone, because when the phone rings, or my (stupid, evil) alarm goes off, my first thought is of Lauriel!

I think more than anything, it is the chorus which stands out to us - 'this is forever', it kind of sums up US...

If you want a closer look, here are the lyrics.

[Ad-Lib]
Yeah
Ooh, whoa

[Verse #1]
Look into my eyes
It's the start of my demise
Everything I know and trust
But we shall rise
And much to their surprise
Cos we are not the ones
Whose time has begun, yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
They come, they go
But you know I know, yeah

[Verse #2]
People are our lives
Till they die and send their knives
The stoning of their words
And the malice in their minds
But we shall rise
And much to their surprise
Cos we are not the ones
Whose time has begun, yeah

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
They come, they go
But you know I know

This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever
This is forever

[Chorus]
This is forever, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know
This is forever, yeah, yeah
Baby, they come, they go
But you know I know

Forever
Forever
Forever
