Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, the singer-songwriter and “Avatar” actor, gives romantic overthinking its due on “forever fool.” She wrote the song at two in the morning, an appropriate hour for deciding that your feelings deserve an entire song.
Bliss approaches romance with an awareness of how ridiculous hope can make a person. A promising encounter becomes a possible future; imagination gets several weeks ahead of the actual relationship. Her fairy-tale references suit that habit of turning a crush into a story with an ending already picked out.

What makes the premise interesting is her willingness to admit she enjoys getting carried away. There’s embarrassment in caring this much, alongside the sheer pleasure of having someone to think about. “forever fool” gives that pleasure some credit. Growing up involves learning to recognise your own habits, and Bliss sounds ready to claim this particular one, whatever her friends might say about it later.
