Snow Patrol have shared a new song, But I'll Keep Trying.
The melodic, emotionally-charged indie offering is one of six new tracks that will feature on an extended version of the Northern Ireland trio's chart-topping eighth album, 2024's 'The Forest Is The Path', due out through Polydor Records on March 14.
The new songs were recorded by Gary Lightbody, Nathan Connolly and Johnny McDaid with producer Fraser T Smith in late 2024. Check out the full tracklist below.
Additionally, Lightbody has shared details of his debut book, The Forest is the Path, which will be published on March 13, and aims to provide listeners with deeper insights on the themes contained within the album: time, home, love, death and life. It also finds the lead singer and guitarist reflecting on the death of his father, Jack, who passed away in 2019. Lightbody said:
"Every time we finish an album I usually feel like there are hardly any words left in me. Not until we go about making the next album. But when we finished recording 'The Forest Is The Path' in February 2024 I realised that there was more I wanted to say. I didn’t know it was going to be a book but I just started writing. The book does, in its own way, tell some of the story of how the album was made but it also talks in more detail about the themes of the record (time, home, love…)
"However, most of the book is about a period in my life before we even started writing the album. It focuses on four days after my father’s passing: The day he died, the day after, the funeral, and a year later. For it was a year later that I was able to write again for the first time since he died and the story of the album actually begins. I hope people find the same comfort and relief in the book, that it gave me writing it."
Snow Patrol previously scheduled an extensive UK and European tour that kicks off with a show in Paris on January 30. Following that, they'll hit the road in the spring for their first North American tour since 2019. The summer will see them play a number of outdoor UK shows, alongside headline festival sets at Latitude and TRNSMT. Tickets are on sale now.
