Always

Some words carry a kind of gravitational pull, and ‘always’ is one of them. It’s a promise of devotion that stretches beyond the present. ‘Always’ is what we say when we want to reassure ourselves – or someone else.

It’s the promise we make at the altar, the hope that lingers after a goodbye, the ultimate ‘yes’ that we can offer another person.

Some songs celebrate devotion; others admit how fragile “always” can be. But each one holds a spark of hope – that love, in all its forms, can endure.
