I have a love/hate relationship with this song, so it was annoying to have it stuck in my head last night. It’s one of those songs, like I believe I can fly, which has some snippet of a lyric in it which my brain gets stuck on.
The relevant irritation is: This love will last forever. Not unique, not by any means, love songs are littered with declarations that the feeling will never end. But can you really say that? The strongest of loves can only ever live as long as the people who carry them.
You can, actually. A deep, profound love will seldom if ever be confined to the main characters in that story. It spills over, touches other lives. Through that legacy, a love can indeed last forever, passed on from generation to generation.
Sing on, boys.
