Originally a demo for Wilder Mind that did not make the cut, Mumford said of the track, "It became a whole different thing to what it was before.

| "Forever" | Delta / Forever (Garage Version) - Single | 2018 | The first electric song that the band laid to tape for Wilder Mind. Mumford described the song as, "Really exciting, a very garage rock kind of song", adding that the demo, "was like the gateway drug to the rest of the record ...We took what Forever had done and worked with that".[5] The song did not make the cut for Wilder Mind as it was technically a road-written song and "didn’t quite fit sound-wise, style-wise".[6] The song was first heard when played live in May 2016. The song was revisited in the recording of Delta and realised as a piano-led ballad. A third 'acoustic version' was performed on the Delta Tour. The original 'garage version' was released as a standalone single in May 2020. | |
