Transcending norms in dance music, beautiful gospel-deep house track 'Forever' continues Girls of the Internet's founder Tom Kerridge's ongoing policy of 'therapy through music', using their songwriting to get through difficult times in their lives.
'In late January this year, we found out my stepfather Michael had leukaemia' says Tom. 'He was admitted to hospital and we found out he had the most aggressive form of the disease. He died just over two weeks after the diagnosis. It was incredibly triggering for us as a family, as we lost my father to cancer in 1999.'
'I had this beat on my hard-drive for a while and could hear a vague melody in my head. As soon as Michael was admitted into hospital, words started coming to me to fill those melodies, and the song was written within days. I sent it to the choir to get recorded. In a strange twist of fate, they sent the finished track back to me when I was in hospital, just a few hours before he died.'
'I don't really like to speak publicly about the meaning of my music, but 'Forever' is about the feelings and emotions you go through as a family when you find out a loved one is battling a serious condition. Watching my Mother's unquestioned support, and hope we can make it through. The feeling of wanting to help, wanting to be there, but really knowing that you are helpless.'
'Forever' will feature on a new Girls Of The Internet project, currently being recorded, pencilled for release late summer on their own recently launched House Of the Internet label.
