The Forest Is the Path by Snow Patrol [CD]

Description: The Forest is the Path is an album rooted in reflection, introspection and interrogation. One of its key building blocks, says Gary Lightbody - lead singer of Snow Patrol - was the idea of love from a distance. I havent been in a relationship for a very long time, 10 years or more, so love from a distance to me meant the way a relationship sits in your memory from a distance of, say, 10 years. Thats not something Id previously thought about as a way to write about love. So its like, when youre in love, youre standing in the lobby of the Empire State Building. When youve broken up with that person, youre out in the street. You can still see the building, but youre not in there anymore. And when its 10 years later, now youre standing in Brooklyn looking at the Manhattan skyline. Its a theme addressed unblinkingly and unflinchingly on lead single The Beginning. Thats kind of a summing up of this album, Gary continues. Its a way of looking at various mistakes, any pain I may have caused, from a place where nothing is hurting anymore, except the memory when you pull it back into your mind. The memory itself is full of hurt but everything around it isnt. Youre holding in your hand this ball of fire, but now youve got gloves on.
