Butterfly

With its message of resilience and emotional truth, “Forever Again” stands as a beacon for anyone who has lost a partner, whether due to separation or death. Maimone hopes the song offers solace, permission to heal, and courage to try again while still honoring the love that came before.

Forever Again

Paranoid in Paradise

This is one of the songs I composed while living with my late husband Howard. He was known as the “Gay Guru” for his role as a publicist helping closeted celebrities come out under public scrutiny in the 1990s, 2000s and early 2010s. By improving visibility for our communities, he helped many LGBTQ+ people live their authentic lives.

Big Kiss is a tribute to being out and proud. Even now, as a proud gay man in 2025, there are still situations in which I hesitate to hold my partner's hand. While my straight friends and family don't think twice about being close to their partners, it still weighs on our subconscious whether we're keeping an acceptable distance. But I'm dedicated to making myself seen. With Howard, and now with my new companion - who is also a widower - I refuse to hold back, and I show my affection for him in public whenever I feel moved to do so!

Especially given policies by the current president, it is more important than ever for our communities to stand up and be seen. So I hope that Big Kiss will become an anthem for showing off our love loud and proud.
