Edinburgh-based American singer-songwriter Alas de Liona has rejuvenated her thrilling, beautiful single “For Forever” to send shivers down the spine of everyone who hears it. A romantically shadowed tribute to immortality, the track is like an invitation to a moonlit waltz between desire and eternity, one seen through the eyes of a brooding vampire.
Alas’ ethereal vocals glide high above layers of striking sound, crafting a touching soundscape. Listening to the song creates a sensation of timelessness, a noble kind of sorrow that seems as old as it is refreshing. Each note oozes emotion, casting a spell of yearning that lasts even after that last chord dies away. It isn’t just celebrating Halloween, it is Halloween.
With "For Forever," Alas de Liona has managed to take spooky season’s imagery and make it brilliantly human. Below the vampire’s narrative lingers a reminder of love, which is determined to endure even beyond the grave, wondering when your very concept of connection becomes impervious. A Lost Boys-inspired 80s music video, written and directed by Alas, accompanies the song, gorgeous and full of longing. The music video adds an undertone of mystery and vividness to the film’s essence, and it also serves as a teaser for Vespertina, her forthcoming musical screenplay project.
"For Forever" is a darkly romantic hymn to the eternal. With this touching new single, Alas de Liona once more cements her status as one of the most creative and touching storytellers of our time.
