Forever Young
A blessing at two speeds
Blessing after blessing, like a letter to a child set directly to music. It does not dodge the ancient risk of benediction—cliché—but accepts that risk with plainness: what one truly wants to say is often what has been said a thousand times.
The record carries the song twice, once fast and once slow—the same words in two tempers. The pleasure is in the comparison: the melody barely changes, but with a different pace the blessing turns from celebration into vigil.
