Till Forever Falls Apart

**Producer(s)** | Clampitt, O'Connell

**Till Forever Falls Apart** is a song by Ashe and is the first track on her album *Ashlyn*.

The song has beautifully blended vocals with a "vintage feel" instrumentation with heavy drums and guitar throughout. When the album is viewed as a narrative, it can act as a prequel to the songs following it.

It contains explicit lyrics.

## Background

Described as "[erupting] with the swelling emotion of love and how it can weather any storm, earthquake or natural disaster". Sonically, Chris DeVille of *SteoreoGum* opines it has an "expertly deployed weeping country guitar and a bombastic string section".

In a statement Ashe said "Till Forever Falls Apart" is one of my favorite songs with one of my favorite people. If I’ve learned anything from 'Moral of the Story,' it’s that accepting the hard truth is strangely comforting," she added "Finneas is one of the most talented people I know and it’s fitting to release this song with someone I love so much. I'm lucky to know him and I hope to never know a life without him in it." Finneas responded, saying "Ashe to me, is a timeless artist. Her music will be as relevant and important 30 years from now as it is today. Making music with her has always been an extension of our friendship and I could not love this song more".

## Meaning

This song is about the end of the world and loving someone through it all via unconditional platonic love (rather than loss like the rest of *Ashlyn*).

According to Ashe "'Till Forever Falls Apart' is about the unshakable love in your life, sometimes that's romantic, or a love with your parents or best friend, it's left less fragile, more cemented".

## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ashe]

Out on our own

Dreamin' in a world that we both know

It's out of our control

But if shit hits the fan, we're not alone

[Pre-Chorus: Ashe]

'Cause you've got me and you know

That I've got you and I know

[Chorus: Ashe]

If the tide takes California

I'm so glad I got to hold ya

And if the sky falls from Heaven above

Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love

We've been livin' on a fault line

And for a while, you were all mine

I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart

I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart

'Til forever falls apart

[Verse 2: FINNEAS]

So this is it, that's how it ends

I guess there's nothing more romantic than dyin' with your friends

And I'm not sorry for myself

I wouldn't want to spend a minute lovin' anybody else

[Pre-Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]

'Cause you've got me and you know

That I've got you and I know

[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]

If the tide takes California

I'm so glad I got to hold ya

And if the sky falls from Heaven above

Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love

We've been livin' on a fault line

And for a while, you were all mine

I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart

I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart

'Til forever falls apart

[Bridge: Ashe & FINNEAS]

We never had it from the start

'Til death do us part

[Chorus: Ashe & FINNEAS]

If the tide takes California

I'm so glad I got to know ya

And if the sky falls from Heaven above

Oh, I know I had the best time fallin' into love

We've been livin' on a fault line

And for a while, you were all mine

I've spent a lifetime givin' you my heart

I swear that I'll be yours forever, 'til forever falls apart
