 Title: Tonight, Forever Label: Independent Genre: Folk/Singer-Songwriter Written by: Henry Johanson Produced by: Henry Johanson Release dates: Streaming date (4/4/15) Digital Download (4/5/15) About The Single:"Tonight, Forever" is the debut single from Canadian singer songwriter, Henry Johanson. The song was written and produced by Johanson when he was 19 years old. The song's lyrics are about vague memories Johanson has about his early childhood growing up in Ontario. The title is something his mother would tell him when he was scared at night. She would tell him "Tonight, I'll love you forever." It's shortened to "Tonight, Forever" to fit the song. The second to last verse is another thing his mother would tell him at night. The song is meant to embody the fogged memories of childhood and the sentiment shared between mother and child. The song starts out with a soothing guitar chord progression and then Henry's vocals come in. His voice is trembling a little bit, he has a deep voice that gives the song a sentimental feel. After the first two verses, it goes to an instrumental break with piano. Henry's vocals come in again with a new set of lyrics about a story he heard as a child. After the third verse, a technical guitar riff comes in that copies the vocal part of the song. The song goes into the bridge which has backup vocalists doing "Ahs." It then does a coda to the beginning but at the end, he repeats "She won't be sleeping" and the song ends on a guitar chord. Final comments:
"This song to me, embodies every childhood memory that I've tried to hold onto; but it's mostly about my mother; it's about every "I love you" we've exchanged, it's about every time she was there for me and every time she supported me. Without my mother, I'd never be the man I am today, she taught me how to love things and I thank her so much for everything she's done for me. Thats what this song means to me, I'm terrible with emotions but this one hits closest to home. So please, make sure you tell your mother you love her because you owe her some way or another." - Henry Johanson Lyrics:My mother paces nervously It's noon again The sun shines like her eyes She won't be sleeping Tonight, tonight, tonight I've been watching you Since you were small You've finally caught me but keep it between us Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever.
Forever, and ever, Forever, and ever. And some say the earth is dying But I feel its heartbeat And some blame it on the weather We will not know Until, we die, until we die I will we, stay up, tonight, and forever If I am alone in the darkness Then you are my lantern A circle of light on the ground To help me find home Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Forever, and ever, forever, and ever
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Forever, and ever, forever, and ever My mother paces nervously It's noon again The sun shines like her eyes She won't be sleeping She won't be sleeping She won't be sleeping
