Today, an a cappella quartet from the Twin Cities region, called Tonic Sol-fa, is determined to take this most traditional of all musical expressions and make it the next big thing. In their ten years together, Tonic Sol-fa has established itself not only as the most in-demand vocal group in the Midwest, but also as one of the most successful independent acts in America. In addition to substantial CD sales of its own independent releases (1,000,000 copies sold), the group has toured extensively throughout the US and abroad, first building its financial base with a steady list of private, corporate shows that led eventually to numerous tours of theaters and small arenas. Whereas previous a cappella groups have followed the traditional barbershop formula, Tonic Sol-fa has taken the a cappella musical artform to a new pop plateau, building a legion of loyal fans along the way with its solid material, pop arrangements, memorable performances and cutting edge stage presence. Critics and fans alike agree on one thing: Although there are many singing a cappella, NO ONE does it like Tonic Sol-fa.

Tonic Sol-fa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

当星星都不再闪烁漆黑一片不用怕
只管闭上眼让我载你飞当岁月已不再眷恋
深深浅浅是我背你走过爱的足迹忘了时间的钟
不停叹息像在敲醒你我人一生像烟火一闪而过
时间从此一去不回头轻轻呼唤一声「亲爱的」
好像从没如此温柔过呼唤你泪水哽在喉咙沸腾
幸好能够来的及说「我爱你」Love Forever
当岁月已不再眷恋

深深浅浅是我背你走过爱的足迹忘了时间的钟
不停叹息像在敲醒你我人一生像烟火一闪而过
时间从此一去不回头轻轻呼唤一声「亲爱的」
好像从没如此温柔过呼唤你泪水哽在喉咙沸腾
幸好能够来的及说「我爱你」让我轻轻再呼唤一声
「亲爱的」别哭我知道你有千言和万语

眼泪是最好的形容虽然你没说
其实我真的懂 Love Forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Tonic Sol-fa's "Love You Forever" speak of undying love and the fleeting nature of time. The first few lines allude to a moment of darkness, where the stars no longer shine and all is black. However, the singer assures his loved one that there is nothing to fear, and urges them to close their eyes and let him carry them away. He promises to walk with them through the ups and downs of love, and to forget the ticking clock of time.

As the song progresses, the singer continues to emphasize the temporariness of life. He likens it to fireworks, which sparkle for a moment and then disappear. Nevertheless, he refuses to be consumed by this transiency, and instead chooses to focus on the love that he and his partner share. He acknowledges their trials and tribulations, and reminds his loved one that he understands their pain, even if they have not been able to express it. Ultimately, he expresses his gratitude for the time they have had together and reaffirms his commitment to love her forever.

The imagery and language used in this song are very poetic and evocative. The references to stars, time, and fireworks all help to reinforce the theme of fleeting beauty and the importance of cherishing the present moment. The singer's voice is also very emotive and adds an extra dimension of feeling to the lyrics.
