Forever is the first song off of the planned future release, "Pastel" by Sam Ock. It is a mellow, jazzy farewell letter from the one who remains moving in the present, to the moment or person past. It is inspired as Ock’s farewell letter to his hip-hop collective AMP, and a deep introspection of his identity apart from the era that is now saved for his memories. This song is for anyone who has gone through the existential crisis inherent to deep loss.

Pastel is a collection of songs in late 2018 by hip-hop/jazz songwriter Sam Ock. The project is a canvas that displays the soft, subtle and light hues which veil a sensitive, pain-ridden soul searching for solace. The gentle, jazz-laced chords and crooning vocals display an idyllic scene while Ock’s honest and direct lyrics lace the work with a sense of deep longing. Pastel is catharsis for the hurting and searching listener.

----Forever by Sam Ock--------

[Verse 1]
I got a bad case of my doubt
Six pack o' lies, bottoms up, fadin out
Letting these voices inebriate
Got no faith, man I wanna escape
escapade, vacation, call it siesta
Don't wanna try for the next semester
Flunked outta life, yea, that's how I feel
it don't really matter, man i gotta keep it real.
but on the real, can't believe you're gone
can't believe it's over, it’s been so long
over these years saw the passion die
no time for eulogy, we had to get by
growin' up always feels too hard
getting old really hurts my heart
'cause of all moments i miss
but i trust that i'm getting better 'cause of this.

[Chorus]
This will be the end of you and me
I will keep this memory
And I'll cherish you forever
This is a beginning, a new day
And I'll find another way
But you'll be with me forever

[Verse 2]
every thing i said
playin back in my head
every sweet moment
every place we went
is a part, is a mark in me
every burn is a brand i see
gotta tattoo in my soul
memories inked, permanent black gold
i don't wanna press rewind
even if i wanted to, i aint got time
healin' be facing the pain head on
letting my tears fall all night long
had our time but it's bye for now
yea we did good but the clock's run out
we did good but the clock's run out
this is my last goodbye.

[Bridge]
All beginnings have an end
Every journey has a bend
Yes your soul can have a friend
Who will love forever
All this time is wasted not
You will never be forgot
You will go into forever
