- "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

Heard this song on a blues radio show. It reached out from the speaker and grabbed my collar, demanding I listen. Felt every note and lyric. My condolences, Mr Zito
same its powerful the build up delivers!
Absolutely beautiful.
Nothing like a good cry. On Valentines Day.
Thank you Mr. Mike Zito for recording this song. it is like my words from your mouth.
My wife Sylvia and I have fallowed your love stories on Facebook like many of our friend fallowed ours. Although Sylvia (The Love of my life) and I only got to meet you once at the Boggie and Blues festival in New Hampshire we felt a kinship to you and Laura. When we learned of Laura's passing, we both felt it deeply because Sylvia was taking her negative turn 5and 1/2years into her battel with cancer. At the time we kind of knew what was to come. Your love to us was very inspiring. Your acceptance and return to the real world after is was what I need to see. Sylvia would have loved your song. I need to hear it today. It is no coincidence that I should find this song on my first Valentine's Day without her.
A friend of ours wrote a Love song about Sylvia and I too. He drove all the way down from New Hampshire to Cape Cod to sing it to her while she was in Hospice. He to recently recorded the song on his trip out to California. The song isas hauntingly as beautify as yours is. Unfortunately, his demo was not fished intime for Sylvia to hear her song either.
Sylvia passed away on Christmas day while in my embrace. Though she was nonverbal for the last 3 days. She tried to say I love you in my ear with her last very breath. If a death could be beautiful this one was just that. She waited for that moment. For me to open that last special gift she got me. She not only wanted to tell me she loved me on Christmas. She needed to show me how much she loved me. I will forever be changed as I will forever love her. She may be gone but our souls are still one.
God Bless You Mike.
Thank you for showing me I can get through this without a drink, and she can still forever live in my heart.
I look forward to shaking your hand and thanking you in person when I buy my copy of Life is Hard at the Spire Center March.
I feel your words. Richie.
Mike, this is actually my very first post on any social media. Even though I was in the studio that day you poured your heart out, this song has more impact for me than when you recorded it. Just true pain and emotion. Thank You for sharing this with the world, you have certainly helped many people in pain. I love you brother.
That is an incredible song and a wonderful tribute to Laura. You should be so proud! Hugs to you, my friend!!
Grammy award winning album!
They worked on perfecting this song for 40 years. But you nailed it. Masterpiece of a lifetime. And then you gifted the
greatest guitar solo in all history. Completely blown away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unbelievable song- one of those that grab your soul! Any of us that have lost a spouse will find comfort in this song! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful song. I know it meant so much to your precious wife. God Bless you and your wife.
Hey, Mike you're incredible. So nice.
Incomparable! Amazing job. The vocals and the solos sound inconsolable. I see and feel music. The beauty of your relationship, the struggles you faced, the timeless love, all came to life in front of me. I could feel every emotion. I know she loved it. I know you love it. A labor of love. Now at the top of my list. Thank you for sharing all of it.
The emotions in both your vocals and your guitar are hauntingly beautiful. A loving tribute ❤️
Mike, I'm so sorry for your loss, yet happy that your wife was able to hear this song. Your song resonates with me, as I lost my wife a little over a year ago to suicide and every time I try to write a song for her I just fall apart. This song is now in rotation on my play list. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song!
I alsosheard that song and wished I could have sung that to my husband before he passed. My heartfelt condolences to you, but Thank You for a beautiful love song!
Sounds fantastic! This reminds me of Gary Moore!!!🎸
I said the same thing, I'm getting Gary Moore vibes! Incredible fretwork.
yes, guitar sound as well as vocals
Exactly my thoughts. Still got the blues came right to mind. 💯
Saw you Sat in Lynchburg. This song was the pinnacle of the entire night. First time ever seeing or hearing you. I was the old Roy Buchanan fan. I didn't know about your wife until I read your bio that night after the show. Amazing tribute. Amazing song. Amazing album. You are blessed.
Mike, this just gave me chills, It is so hauntingly beautiful. I think Laura hears this beautiful final version and loves it completely. This is an astounding memorial to your beautiful wife. Your vocals and those beautiful weeping guitar melodies and licks are completely tugging at my heartstrings.
Kudos to you 💯❤️🎶🎸💙🙏
Gonna be some hardware for this album!
WOW !!!! A Triumph Inside a Tragedy !!! Bravo My Friend !
Your heart ♥ is so true with these words what a wonderful song and so healing ,love it
Great song about your love that you lost and not forgotten
Teared up reading this on your website days after hearing this amazing tune. It's more than notes, more than words, the cry of a heart as rendered by an incredible talent. She dug it and so do we. RIP Laura
Goosebumps.
She's proud of you..everyday...
I'm certain she visits. Love carries on. 💟
Awesome
A beautiful song clearly written from the heart. I saw Walter Trout when he was recently in town (Sydney, Australia) and hope Mike can be similarly convinced to visit us Down-Under. BTW I also really enjoy Mike's Swamp Blues course on TrueFire, it's a lot of fun to play and it seems there's no end to Mike's talent
🔊👊🏻

Cancer
Why did you choose me
Why can't you understand
My family doesn't want to lose me
As I prepare for Heaven,
I think about time gone by
I pause and reflect
The most insignificant things in Life
Now become the most Significant
Time with family
Time with nature
Time with music
Time
We will have more time together
We will have good times together
In good time
Even if I die, cancer
You have not won
For I have Lived
And I have Loved
