The Forest is the Path is an introspective album by Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol), exploring love from a distance—how relationships linger in memory years after they end. Using the metaphor of viewing the Empire State Building from afar, it reflects on past pain and mistakes with a sense of calm detachment. The lead single, “The Beginning,” captures this theme of revisiting hurtful memories while being emotionally protected.
