New song “My Forever” from John Long

Using music as an insight into his mind, John Long has a mission to radiate positive and inspirational messages from his compositions. Music was an outlet for John, growing up, he experienced a number of tragedies, beyond what most could imagine. Yet, he found his peace in music, that gave him the strength to persevere.

Now, as a father and husband, his paternal instincts have instilled a certain dependability and fresh perspective on what it is to love. This shift from childhood, to adulthood, from the highs to the lows, are the basis of John’s music, acting as his diary and what a privilege it is that John has shared his personal accounts with the world.

In the first instance, John entered this piece into a competition as a paired down, solo effort using just the banjo and background vocals stems. From this, the track “My forever”, grew, John made modifications and worked with a co-producer to build it into the track it is today. In a candid love song, this is a heartfelt narration of the day John met his wife, and the clear-as-day revelation that she was the one.

This love song is fun, upbeat, a jazzy base line and funky banjo melody on top, with a rousing lead up to the chorus that then explodes like a firework. You can truly sense his excitement and utter joy throughout the song, in my opinion, it would be impossible for this song not to leave you bubbling with warmth and love.
