“In January of last year, I was considering the idea of making an album about the tragedy of my wife Laura having cancer. I wasn't quite sure how to go about it, but she was very encouraging of the process. I knew I could not write an entire album about this experience and my feelings, but I wanted to write at least one meaningful song that encapsulated my emotions. One morning I was sitting with guitar in hand at the dining room table with a coffee by my side. I played a chord and sang “Forever My Love“ at the top of my lungs. Laura came into the room and said “What was that? Is that a song you're going to write?“ I said, “I think so, do you like it?“ She had an excited look on her face as she said “Yes, I like it a lot.“ It just came to me so I went with it and the rest came so fast and easy. The best songs usually come out of nowhere and are very easy to write, like I am not really writing the song I am just the interpreter. The song was written, but I played it and sang it over and over throughout the year. Every morning I would sit at the table and sing it loud and she would listen. She would tell me how much she loved the song, she was really proud. We had hoped she would live long enough to hear the finished version, but that didn't happen. But, she heard me sing this song 100 times to her at our house last year, and she knew you were going to love it.“ -- Mike Zito 🎥 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐘 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄: 𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄 from Mike Zito's upcoming release LIFE IS HARD on Gulf Coast Records is now available! 🔗 Pre-Save: 🎥 Video by Zach Zito 🎸
