About Forever

"Forever" is the debut single by American Indie pop rock band Haim, taken from their first studio album, Days Are Gone (2013). Released on October 12, 2012, "Forever" was written by band members Alana Haim, Danielle Haim and Este Haim, while production was done by the band with Ludwig Göransson. The song is a pop rock track, with clattering percussion and tight harmonies. Lyrically, the track talks about a relationship's do-or-die moment, while its sound was compared to many 80's and 90's tracks, including Fleetwood Mac and its member, Stevie Nicks, Donna Lewis and even Michael Jackson's "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'". Acclaimed by music critics, "Forever" was named a "killer single", with a dazzling chorus, and some even called one of the best singles of the year. The song draws heavily from the themes of the 1979 cult classic film, The Warriors. "Forever" became the band's first charting single on the charts, reaching moderate positions in Belgium, France, Japan and the United Kingdom, while in the U. S., the song charted in multiple Billboard charts, including the Adult Pop Songs, Alternative Songs, Pop Songs and Rock Songs lists. A music video for the song features the three sisters rocking out in their living room and on their bikes and in a nail salon and all over town, all intercut with videos from their childhood. The song was performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Late Show with David Letterman, as well as at the Glastonbury Festival in both 2013 and 2014.

Hey you!
Remember me? Remember love?
Remember trying to stay together?
My time, you took it all
You tried to see
You tried to bring yourself up without involving me
It isn't fair, to have your way
To try and get up and go and na na na na now can't you see
It isn't fair to have your way
But I'm trying to get your attention and I need you to know that

Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game
Now I know I'm never gonna go your way
Here we go, now I know, I know know know

Forever I try to make it right
Together we suck, end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye

Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No I never believed in the reason
Just another good reason to get a ride

I don't want to turn around
So come on baby
Come on and try to let it out
Let it go
We're still the same
So come on baby
Kick to the sounds, let's figure it out
Let's get back to where we started out

Hey you! Hey you!
Can't you make this thing?
I know, I know, I know you ain't the one to play the game
Now I know I'm never gonna go your way
Here we go, now I know, I know know know

Forever I try to make it right
Together we suck, end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye

Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No I never believed in the reason
Just another good reason to get a ride

Go go go go get out, get out of my memory
No no no not tonight, I don't have the energy

Go go go go get out, get out of my memory
No no no not tonight, oh not tonight, oh not tonight

Forever we try to make it right
Together we suck, end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye

Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No I never believed in the reason
Just another good reason to get a ride

Forever I try to make it right
Together we suck, end in sight
I'm tired of fighting the good fight
If you say the word then I'll say goodbye

Forever I see you and me
Forever I'll try for you and I
No I never believed in the reason
Just another good reason to get a ride
