This is a difficult song to classify or describe. Although it sound like soft rock or easy listening, it's also got a bridge that kind of rocks into the stratosphere before it floats back down to earth once again. The guitar chords are very similar to the Allman Brother's "Sweet Melissa," but with the overlay of the strings, which is somewhat unique, you can't really hear that influence so much. It's definitely rock, definitely alternative, some have said it sounds like "Enigma," and I've also heard "Supertramp," and I'm sure everyone would hear something different in it. It could even be taken to be "religious" or "Christian," though I did not write it with that intent. Basically it's a nice piece with guitar, violin, lead and backup vocals, and only bass, no drum track.

Pls Note: Below is the "Story" I wrote for the video I posted on Youtube. The link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFmeT7HzI9A This here's a video of a song my friend Mike Donahoe and I did recently, but the genesis of the song goes back to the early Nineties. I was living in Israel and writing a lot of songs usually conceiving, but not completing (the bane of the songwriter)... This was one concept that I felt deserved to be given more nurturing, and so I did. A few years later I did a couple of very amateurish recordings of it. Fast forward to almost ten years later. I meet Mike, and we begin recording some stuff, this one being just one of several. But we both see the potential of this particular song, and so again, we spend time with it. I have to say, though, that while I put in some hours, Mike put in countless hours engineering this song, including doing all of the parts other than the rhythm and lead guitar tracks (and even those, he was largely responsible for what you hear). Mike really took the original idea and he did fly with it... Even though it might not sound like it, we never really finished this song. Especially the end it was just one idea that we tried, but then Mike decided he'd had enough, so we called it quits. Anyway, this was a labor of love, and it was labor intensive, as was the making of the video, which I'm not exactly entirely happy with, but I said I was going to finish before the year was out, and so I am. I may work on it again at some point, but for what it is a way of highlighting the song itself it does the trick... If you like the song and want to download it, go on iTunes and type in "The Al Love Experience" and the CD "Sunsmile" will come up. The name of the song is "Love, Always," though we always just referred to it as "Always." It's a song of inspiration for those who are on the path of awakening to All that We Are, Can, Will, and must Be, realizing that All Will be Well, because All is fun

Just when the darkest doubts had crept into my mind And I was sure I'd lost my way You were a light that in the darkness shined You gave me flight, all ways... And now Always Always Always I will fly to what is good and true Always I will love You * How many hours and days and ways to write a song? Must be an infinity of ways Is there wisdom in the thought that all of this is wrong... And there is one? Always Always Always I will fly the Golden Rays of the Sun Always I will love you One Bridge: Always I will seek the Source Always on a longer course Steadfast never will I fail And I say to you with all my might From the depths to the heights You give me flight Always Now no longer do I trust in temporalities But in these tired old cliches Beyond Shadowlight and all dualities Love Shines Always And Now Always Always Always Always I will fly the wide wings of the Dove Always I will love You Love Fadeout: Always I will fly Always I will fly high x
