    The look on Rodney's face at 2:00, and the rapt attention that Steve has at the beginning: these two young musicians are learning from a master. I think Rodney is hearing how lives can rhyme, in a fashion, at the beginning: "forever, for always, for certain, for someone, forsaken, for sure"... What a beautiful scene.

    Forever ain't easy to come by
    For always ain't never to sure
    For certain is less than you hoped for
    For someone it's hard to endure
    Foresaken must sometimes befall us
    For sorrow sometimes will call
    For seasons go around on a pinwheel
    And tomorrow ain't nothin' at all
    The first time that I came by lovin'
    Forever was all on my mind
    And I never got used to the hurting
    Or the searchin' for some love in kind
    And it seems like I'm still chasing rainbows
    It seems like I'm still on the run
    Forever don't mean much in passing
    Forgotten don't mean that it's done
    Forever, for always, for certain'
    For someone forsaken for sure
    For any old plan you got workin'
    For any old pain you can cure
    Forever, for always, for certain
