Eylsia Nicolas brings in Forever Can Wait with the wisdom you have gained after being struck down by life more than you would ever want to mention. It has a lovely light running through the song, the sense of someone making a decision to be happy and happy again and again, despite the attempt of this world to put the darkness before their eyes. It transforms the concept of living in the present to one that is cosy and quite realistic.
The work glitters with sunshine pianos and light soft-rock sounds, going up and down as the sun rays on the water. Nicolas sings with a delicacy which has actual power, as though each note is tugged out of some deep in her soul. Knowing, too, that she has nearly lost her voice altogether, you can almost feel the gratefulness in the manner, in which she puts across each line - part victory, part silent miracle.
The reason why Forever Can Wait is lingering is its insistence on remaining in the present. The song swings and swings with a smooth swagger, with lyrics that are more about being rather than being. It does not have to be a retreat of the reality, but rather an option to love what is before you. And where in her path you think of her travels,--of touring Wimbledon, and to Beverly Hills, and of losing health, and of patient, patient healing--the point is driven home with increased force.
The mix of country cosiness, gospel soul, and the elements of modern Christian is what adds to this track the nuance of familiarity, still, it seems to be a newer concept. The hopefulness is no foolish hopefulness, but is that which has been tried, moulded, and won.
Nicolas transforms this song into more than a musical release with the aid of restorative technology that restored the voice back to its clarity. It turns into evidence of a person not giving up the storey. And to one who has forgotten to breathe, to be here, to keep joy in the heart, this song seems a hand upon your shoulder, telling you to get back to yourself.
