The lyrics of the song “Forever and always” by the Parachute band describes a scenario where a couple of people who love each other face a very huge tragedy. While the woman is sitting at a table waiting for her loved one, she receives a call telling her that the worst has happened. With an incredible desire to find out what happened, she rushes to the hospital where her partner is. Upon reaching her destination, she finds him lying on a bed. Hoping that he will feel better, the woman finds a chaplain who is supposed to affirm their love. Luckily, the man is able to declare his love for her just a few minutes before closing his eyes forever. True love according to the lyrics of the song “Forever and always” represents the adage that ‘love conquers everything’. It explains the feelings of affection and attraction that remain between two people after everything else fades. These emotions last in perpetuity, despite one partner dies or moves to a far place. The first verse of the song clearly demonstrates how the two are committed to and care for each other. It reflects the concern of one partner to another. Equally, it shows how the woman would rather stay at the table waiting for her husband rather than engaging in other activities. The two are supposed to be spending their time together probably enjoying a meal. That is the reason why she stays late, while she has the option of retiring to bed. Additionally, it is clear that both partners are free with each other and talk quite often. Communication is critical in any relationship and that is the reason why the woman gets worried when the man does not call. Nevertheless, she opts to give him a little more time, constantly looking back to the window. It is apparent that for all that time she is thinking about him. As true love exists only when both partners care for each other, it is for this reason that the lady is worried when the man does not arrive on time. She keeps listening to the driveway, waiting for any sound that would assure he is on his way home. When the phone rings, she is lastly relieved a bit. Nevertheless, this also adds to her misery upon being informed that something has happened and she is needed right away. She flashes back from her good time with her lover. She remembers a moment in December when he had proposed to her. The woman recalls the time he knelt down on his knees and uttered the sweet words of assurance that her efforts were not in vain and that he appreciated her love and care. She wondered whether this moment would happen, fulfilling her wishes and dreams. The chorus shows the magnitude of the feeling between the two. The man’s proposal was simple but firm and deep. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, where every moment would count. This meant the good, the bad, and the trying moments. It also meant growing old together and taking care of each other at an old age. Love is not always a happy-ending or even an equation, but a place where one enjoys staying. It is a place of fulfillment rather than a necessity, where the heart is quenched its thirst. What the song “Forever and always” tries to convey is that even if death prevents being together alive, the two would still be in love on the other side. So, she remembers that at
