It is during a breakdown towards the end of the song, we begin to hear many voices coming at us from all angles, something I am sure many can relate to. Stresses with life, work, relationships, habits, and more. The voices hitting us from all angles.
It is great to hear this in music form being able to hear this chaos, before a loud "FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE" a call to arms to clear the noise, and focus on the path ahead.

As his first single, Forgive & Forget feels deeply personal and relatable, hinting at even more exciting releases to come.
For fans of introspective music with a raw, emotional edge, Johnny Barrs Forgive & Forget is a promising start to what could be an exciting journey ahead in his career.
An anthem for mental health, something we can all get behind!
