Indie rock duo Twilight Muse just released their debut album, "A Moment Out Of Time," and to celebrate we asked Meg Pollaro to tell us about the single "Forever". Here is the story:
"Forever" is a love story. It's about a girl lost in her own mind, hiding from the thing she wanted most. That's what we mean by this line: "It was a song she didn't know, she had always, always known," which is also self-referential like a lot of our lyrics.
This song was adapted from the poem "Breadcrumbs" by Elizabeth Estela, The Poet Laureate of Paterson, and dear friend of Meg's, which was written for Meg and her husband as a wedding gift. While the poem is deeply personal to Meg, we believe it is relevant to anyone who has both longed for love and been afraid of it. (continue)
