Introduction
“Forever Now” by The Moody Blues is more than just a song; it’s a journey through time and emotion, encapsulated in a melody that feels both timeless and urgent. Listening to it is like opening a door to a moment where the past and future collide, where memories linger, and the future beckons with an undeniable pull.
Released during a period when The Moody Blues were already considered legends in the rock genre, “Forever Now” carries with it the weight of experience and the wisdom of years. It’s a song that speaks to the heart’s deepest desires—the longing for permanence in a world that is constantly changing. The lyrics are a poignant reflection on the human experience, touching on themes of love, loss, and the elusive nature of time.
What makes “Forever Now” stand out is the way it marries the band’s signature sound with a universal message. The lush orchestration, combined with the soulful vocals, creates a soundscape that’s both ethereal and grounded. It’s as if the music itself is reaching out, trying to grasp hold of something that can’t be contained—just like the concept of forever.
But beyond the technical brilliance, there’s something inherently relatable about this song. We’ve all had those moments when we wish time could stand still, when we could hold onto a feeling, a person, or a place forever. “Forever Now” taps into that universal yearning, making it a song that resonates deeply with anyone who listens.
The Moody Blues have always had a knack for creating music that feels profound, and “Forever Now” is no exception. It’s a reminder that while we can’t stop time, we can cherish the moments we have, and in doing so, create our own little slice of forever.

Lyrics
If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a world of ever
Changing expectation
If it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now
If we could be here forever
Where in this world would heaven be
As we race across the universe
In search of confirmation
Why can’t it be
Why can’t it be
Why can’t it be forever now
There’s no way out
There is no return
There’s no way back
There’s no way to learn
The final act
The curtain falls
On the stage
On the stage
Standing at the crossroads
Waiting for the new millennium
For if it could be
If it could be
It would be forever now
If we could live forever
Where would our dreams lead us to
Living in a children’s world
Of simple fascination
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
For if it could be, if it could be
It would be forever now
If it could be, If it could be
It would be forever now
