Chapters of Forever have today released their new single titled ‘Lady Moon’. After years of creative evolution, Chapters of Forever, the visionary project founded by Alex Pazos and Pedro Martínez, unveil their long-awaited new single, ‘Lady Moon’. The track stands as a striking testament to the duo’s artistic bond, originally written in early 2020 and finally brought to life after five years of persistence, distance, and rediscovery.

Formed in late 2019 in Puebla, Mexico, while both were studying at music school, Alex and Pedro’s musical partnership blossomed from an impromptu end-of-term project into a shared creative journey. Their first composition together, ‘Lady Moon’, marked the inception of Chapters of Forever, but as the pandemic swept across the globe, the song was set aside while both musicians were forced apart. Even during that separation, Alex continued writing and dreaming of the day their music would return to center stage.

By 2022, the world – and the duo – found their rhythm again. Reuniting in Puebla, they went on to release two singles, ‘Wondering’ and ‘Mary-Ann’, introducing audiences to their cinematic approach to songwriting. While Pedro later pursued other creative paths after graduating, he continued to advise and collaborate with Alex, who now leads Chapters of Forever as a solo performer, carrying the project’s vision forward with heart and dedication.

Now, ‘Lady Moon’ finally sees the light of day. Recorded in June 2025 in Puebla and produced by Javi Machine, the track features Alex Pazos on lead vocals and piano, Guillermo Espinosa on acoustic and electric guitars, and Javi Machine on drums and percussion. Mastering was handled by Rafael Calderón, rounding out a meticulous three-month post-production process that refined the song’s intricate textures and layered arrangements.

Musically, ‘Lady Moon’ is an epic journey through avant-garde and progressive rock, rich in modal harmonies, shifting tempos, and theatrical grandeur. With its dynamic transitions and emotive delivery, the song captures the timeless wonder and introspection that have defined Chapters of Forever since its inception.

“‘Lady Moon’ is a song that feels timeless, it’s almost as if it had existed for centuries. I think about the night that I wrote it, as a songwriter to be, with the fearlessness and rawness of one who meets his ‘opera prima’, and I just remember looking up… staring at Lady Moon, as the words fell into place.”

With ‘Lady Moon’, Chapters of Forever invite listeners into a world of emotion, experimentation, and sonic storytelling, an unforgettable offering that bridges the past and the future of rock.

Q&A

Was the gap in time from writing to release due to COVID?

It was. In fact, even though the song was pretty much finished all the way back in early 2020, the gap was so large and so much happened in our lives and in the world since then (including the pandemic), that while revising the song this year, we found out that even our music tastes were not quite the same as the ones of those kids in 2019-2020, so we ended up making a number of changes to the lyrics and the structure of the song in order to achieve the version that you can currently listen to.

How does it feel to have such a gap in release, does the meaning of the song feel different to you?

For sure, actually, I think the song’s meaning to me has enriched through time; it’s almost as if the words that I wrote in 2019 have deepened and acquired more layers. Still, I don’t think that the overall message or theme of the song has changed; I believe that the words and music, dare I say, have a timelessness to them.

Do you feel being Mexican plays a role in your music, as opposed to being another American rock band/project?

That’s an interesting question. I believe that being Mexican has had a major impact not only on my songwriting, but also on my overall music taste. I carry my Mexican heritage with an enormous amount of respect and appreciation, my culture has informed every lyric that I’ve ever written, and every sound that I’ve gravitated towards. And yeah… even though my lyrics are in English, mostly because it’s the language where I find myself most comfortable writing in, Spanish is my first language; and I don’t think there’s ever a bad moment to say that I have a profound love towards not only my language, but obviously my country and my people.

This track is really grand and creative. Who are some of your favorite artists that are more progressive or off the beaten path?

Thank you! Well, actually, a few months ago I started listening to an up-and-coming band called “Pacifica”, they are from Argentina, and they are amazing. I wouldn’t call their music “prog-rock”, it’s more like an alternative rock group… but they are just SO good; their single “Fixer Upper” might just be one of the best songs I’ve ever listened to.

Any plans to play out live?

Absolutely. I’ve been performing solo for a little while, but I’m actively searching for musicians who’d like to become a part of the Chapters of Forever project; that way we’d have a fuller sound live and we’d be able to perform more complex material, like “Lady Moon”.

Do you have new music in the works that we can expect after this?

Yeah! As a matter of fact, I have a lot of lyrics that are waiting for just the right moment to be recorded. We are incredibly excited to see the response of the people towards “Lady Moon”, and if all goes well, I trust that they’ll help us get the momentum we need to keep recording and “make some new chapters”.
