I don't want to be the one (the one) To leave it all undone (undone) We were hanging from every single word every lovely word (you said) So don't you forget You've got tons to give A little bit of love (could save us) And that’s one thing that keeps me here You are forever pink You are always as pink as the sky as a blooming flower I promise [instrumental section] [with bass] you are forever pink (x12) [w/ synth lead] Forever Pink A little bit of hope (could save us) And there's one thing that keeps me here And we'll be one with the moon and stars Don't be afraid to be who you truly… we'll be with the moon and stars Don't be afraid to be who you truly are ba da dum, ba da dum, ba da dum You are forever pink

I’ll stand for you now, I may send you away The sky will stay up by the end of the day Search for truth just to keep it alive Stay on the path but before you arrive Know the light in the west is still fading Now walk with the moon or just dance in the rain Slowly come by till you come around again Cry for peace now, just try We’re broken inside like a flower in your crown, crown, crown Hold tight to me now as you are breaking down, down, down Walk with me now and walk with me slow Break up the earth for the seeds that we sow I gave you all I had to give, anyway Keep me in your heart, how I beg to stay Close up your heart and I'll close up my eyes In starlit slumber, in darkness we lie Close up your art like you close up a book It’s about midnight, why are we so shook? (I’ll stand for you now)

Your Story 05:46
The beautiful hope That's running through your veins Is running wild within you And it's so beautiful to see you Looking forward with fearless hope Even with so many things ahead of you That seem to be unknown Just remember, You belong here just as anyone else and You wouldn't be here if there isn't more ahead of you As long as there's a path beneath your feet, And there's a light to guide you, You're on the right track Take the time to enjoy the little things in life Because time rolls on And so does life I just hope you know Even here, there is so much more to come But don't worry You can pace yourself And wait to see what you become Just remember, You belong here just as anyone else and You wouldn't be here if there wasn't more ahead of you As long as there's a path beneath your feet, And there's a light to guide you, You're on the right track Just give yourself room to breathe and grow No matter what's unknown Your story is only known by you And only you have the control. Keep looking forward with that hope That's running wild within you Looking forward fearlessly Into the unknown. Just remember, You belong here just as anyone else and You wouldn't be here if there wasn't more ahead of you As long as there's a path beneath your feet, And there's a light to guide you, You're on the right track You're on the right track You're on the right track

Barely heard the wind say her name through the trees It was just a whisper breath so cold she could barely feel it Didn't know that she'd fall, a not so distant memory But that night she turned and listened Hear the calling a wolf howling at the moon No more stalling the adventure of pursuit Time to follow a message only meant for you Hear it calling Hear the calling I told her that I would only stay If we took the time away so we could bond again and then be happy but then she told me to listen to the words of the calling Hear the calling a wolf howling at the moon No more stalling the adventure of pursuit Time to follow a message only meant for you Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear the calling a wolf howling at the moon No more stalling the adventure of pursuit Time to follow a message only meant for you Hear it calling Hear the calling And I know of the calling And I know I should listen But it doesn’t feel right No, it doesn’t feel quite right And I know that this has happened And I know that it’ll all work out but All I want is to be All I want is to be clear that you are not the problem Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear the calling a wolf howling at the moon No more stalling the adventure of pursuit Time to follow a message only meant for you Hear it calling Hear the calling Hear the calling a wolf howling at the moon No more stalling the adventure of pursuit Time to follow a message only meant for you Hear it calling Hear the calling

Next To You 04:54
The way life can go, The grip of control, Dripping through the cracks 'tween your fingers, And all that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. You don't always ask, When you’re over tasked, For help with things you just can't finish, And all that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. Holding you so you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, "I'm right here" Your strength gives me hope, That's why I can cope, People question why all the brightness, All that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. Over tasked, just ask; Holding you, you stand; Telling you “you can”; Next to you, always; Life’s way is unknown; I’m right here for you; telling you, you’re strong; standing by your side; Hold tight, standing tall; no matter what comes; all you know is true; I’m right here for you; Life’s grip, let it slip, and watch the world unfold Holding you so you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, "I'm right here" When you're feeling lost, and you don't know what to do I'll be there to remind you, that I'm here for you With my love and support, you'll find the strength to stand (And face the challenges, that come with life's demands) Holding you so that you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, Holding you so that you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, “I’m…” “I’m right here, right now!”

about

It's finally here, the first volume of a project that I've been working on for the past 3 years: Forever Pink.
Forever Pink got its name from the color pink often being a color associated with love and caring emotions. It also acts as a metaphor for positive qualities and a promise that someone is always there for you, even in the darkest times. The purpose of Forever Pink is to be a message of encouragement to be true to oneself and not be afraid to shine, but also to not be afraid or avoidant of the darker, harder parts of life.

This Bandcamp Exclusive version comes with 5 original songs, 5 official instrumental tracks, a PDF of handwritten notes, and music videos for "Welcome To Forever Pink" and "About Midnight".
