The obvious message of "Always Gonna Be" is the prevalence of love, no matter the distance. No matter how far apart you are, you're always and forever connected. That's the meaning I think most people will take away from the song, and that's great! It makes for a nice, happy love song (and I like nice, happy love songs).

When I was originally writing the lyrics, however, I was looking at it from a slightly different angle. I was basing the song on this idea that once you find someone or something to make you feel not so alone in the world, you never have to feel lonely again. All you have to do is "think back to the memory." Just the knowledge that you're not the only person in the world who feels a certain way or thinks a certain way is enough. No one can take that memory away from you. It's yours to look back on and to comfort you forever.

We've been lucky enough to have some of our music featured in videos for PostSecret in the past. I love the idea behind PostSecret, and what I think is most incredible about it is that people recognize their own secrets in a stranger's. And they realize they're not alone. They never have to meet that person or talk with that stranger. Just knowing someone out there shares their secret can be a weight lifted off. So I suppose that's where the inspiration for this song came from.
