Forever but Nevermore is so gentle, vocally, you almost get a sweet vibe from the tune. It is based on an almost-romantic promise Tilly once made, to be “yours forever but nevermore”, to love while not able to, to give everything but actually not having anything to give. That promise, later bent and colored by a soul-shattering argument, went in and out, creating a song full of intimacy but also harsh metafors, devotion as well as violence. The song still makes us wince every time we play it, the hard time is so vivid to us, mirrored in the lyrics that are so dual-edged.
