'Open Heart' is the first single to be released from Forth’s upcoming third album. The song is an homage to the late 70’s blues rock that had a strong influence on the band in its early days. Lead guitarist, Tim Norrgrann was inspired to write the song after watching Neil Young perform in Helsinki’s Kaisaniemi park. The track is a soulful rocker with a gritty, driving bass and guitar lines that power through the song like a smooth train, building momentum to the finish. The lyrics sing of love and approaching life with an open heart – a message that resonates with the current reality of social isolation and disconnection.
