Who Did It Better

Heatwave OR Luther?

Heatwave Heatwave 1977

Always and Forever

Written by Rod Temperton

Always and forever, each moment with you
Is just like a dream to me, that somehow came true

What's this song about ↓

"Always and Forever" is a vow so simple it barely needs words. Heatwave recorded it in 1976 as a slow-burning promise of permanence, a man telling a woman that his love is not conditional on circumstances. Not until the seasons change. Not until the feelings fade. Just always. The song strips away every qualification because real commitment does not come with footnotes. The repetition is the point. Some truths need to be said more than once to be believed.
