Forevertree's name is inspired by Psalms 1:3, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."
Forevertree have been around since the late 90's in some form or another...having seen a tremendous positive response with their first cd "Turning"....endorsements from Jackson guitars, Seymour Duncan pickups and more...the band quickly started touring Canada in support of that CD gaining fans across the country......the band came off the road and started to work on their next CD "Alien"....at the time Forevertree went through some personal changes and "Alien" was put on hold.
Fast forward to 2009, with many avenues and situations explored one of the original members(Geoff) had felt in his heart that it was time to see if Forevertree could be once more!...Geoff, Dwayne and Jeff were back with new Drummer Ron Mellegers it was time for Forvertree to rise!....or was it?....unfortunately Jeff Miller was unable to commit anymore due to his current position as guitarist for Blissed. through an onslot of possible new guitarists and auditions Forevertree came to a halt......but not for long!!!
Long time friend and fellow musician Sean McGowan was eventually offered the spot as new guitarist for Forvertree, being in contact off and on over the years Geoff and Sean still had history together and lo and behold FOREVERTREE was reborn! Forvertree finally completed "Alien" in the year 2009 after almost a decade......fans eagerly gobbled up the new cd....they had been waiting a long time for this!!!. For the last half of the year Forevertree saw some amazing things happening within and around the band, Being on the NUMBER 1 Spot for over 3 mnths on the Christian hard rock radio station and finishing the year(2009) as the third most requested band of 2009 above such groups as skillet, flyleaf, Brian Head Welch (ex-Korn) this was an amazing accomplishment....not to mention being played on as many radio stations as possible in the states....with radio tracking in Nashville, opening for Stryper in Toronto september of 2009 and much more.
The new single "higher" has just been launched to radio and is progressively climbing the charts..Forvertree, now back better and harder than ever have begun production on their newest cd "ZOMBIE" with all the new members and are very excited and hopeful for the future. With "ZOMBIE" being more aggressive and in your face the band has also maintained the commercial side of the music always maintaining and uplifting their positive message......FOREVERTREE a new and fresh experience for the masses!!
Always
Forevertree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk away,
You left me standing here
With Dreams of fame
Of Love and Lust,
You ignored my tears
I promised
Never leave your sideβ¦
I need my freedom
I need to spread my wings
I want to run I want to fly away
You've had your seasons
I want to live my life
Now let me go let me have my way
I never promised that I would stay
Never said I wouldn't go
I will always love you
You abandoned
All my hopes
And all my dreams for you
You took My heart
As you ran
Its always been with you
I promised
I would never leave you
Never leave your sideβ¦
I will always love you
Let me go let me fly
I want to run
Wanna feel the wind in my hair
I've been hiding in your shadow for too long
I'll give you everything
Everything i have is yours
So Go ahead and won't you take it
All I want from you
Is somthing I know you can't give
Always will I love you that will never change
The lyrics of Forevertree's song "Always" reflects the sentiments of someone who has been in a relationship for a long time and now wants to break free from it. The song starts with the singer watching his/her partner leave, while he/she stays behind with unfulfilled dreams and aspirations. The partner has been ignoring the singer's tears and has not been able to understand what he/she wants from life. The singer had promised to always be there, but now realizes that he/she needs to spread wings and fly away. The singer is torn between loving the partner and the need to live life on his/her terms.
The chorus of the song brings out the crux of the matter. The singer longs to live his/her life and wants the freedom to do so. He/she has been hiding in the shadow of the partner for too long, and now it's time to take a step forward. The singer acknowledges the sacrifices he/she has made in the past in the name of love and is willing to give everything to the partner. However, the only thing he/she wants from the partner, which the partner cannot give, is the freedom to live life independently.
The song portrays the emotions of someone who is at the crossroads of a relationship, wanting to hold on to love but also wanting to live life on his/her own terms. It highlights the difficulty of leaving something familiar behind and venturing into the unknown. The lyrics are poignant and relatable to anyone who has ever found themselves in a similar situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I watched you
I observed your departure and the weight of your absence
Walk away,
You left me, walked away from our connection
You left me standing here
You left me in this same, static place
With Dreams of fame
With aspirations of being recognized and respected
Of Love and Lust,
With desires for both true affection and primal desire
You ignored my tears
You failed to acknowledge or comfort me as I expressed my pain
I promised
I vowed and committed
I would never leave you
I would never abandon or forsake you
Never leave your sideβ¦
Never distance myself from you or our bond
I need my freedom
I require independence and liberty
I need to spread my wings
I yearn to explore and grow on my own
I want to run I want to fly away
I desire to sprint forth, bursting with the energy of flight
You've had your seasons
You've experienced ample amounts of time and opportunities
I want to live my life
I crave to lead a life shaped by my own decisions and values
Now let me go let me have my way
Allow me to move on and establish my personal path
I never promised that I would stay
I did not guarantee that I would stay beside you
Never said I wouldn't go
I did not state that I would not depart
I will always love you
I will forever hold love towards you in my heart
You abandoned
You deserted and neglected
All my hopes
All my aspirations and optimism
And all my dreams for you
And all the future I envisaged with you
You took My heart
You proceeded to take my innermost core
As you ran
While you hastily sprinted away
Its always been with you
My heart remains yours, though you are not physically present
Let me go let me fly
Permit me to leave and soar into the unknown
Wanna feel the wind in my hair
I yearn to feel free and alive
I've been hiding in your shadow for too long
I've been concealed and overshadowed by you for an extended period
I'll give you everything
I am willing to provide you with all that I have
Everything i have is yours
All of my possession belong to you
So Go ahead and won't you take it
Please, accept all that I am offering
All I want from you
The sole thing I request from you
Is somthing I know you can't give
Is something beyond your capacity to provide
Always will I love you that will never change
I will hold onto my love for you, and it will remain a constant throughout my life
