The Forest is the Path

Gary Lightbody

Sinossi

'The pages sing in this beautiful book.' – Bono
'Moving and lyrical, The Forest is the Path is an imaginative and deeply personal journey of self-discovery.' – The Irish Times
You’re falling through time so all I can do is fall with you.
The numbness had set in long before I sat at your bedside. But even with senses impaired as the flight touches down at Belfast City I can somehow still feel the screeching of wheels on tarmac scorching something deep into me.
Gary Lightbody's phenomenal companion to Snow Patrol's No.1 Album of the same name is a remarkable work of narrative writing.
The Forest is the Path explores some of the main themes of the album; time, home, love, death and life, and serves as a prequel to the record, telling the story of his dad Jack's death. It tracks the journey he went on – a journey whose end seemed to unlock a part of Gary that had been dormant until he started to write songs again.
This is the book that emerged from that time.
‘[An] astoundingly poetic book’ – Pandora Sykes
'Raw…and extraordinary.' – Nihal Arthanayake
'Lightbody's propose is fluid and unflinchingly honest' – The Irish Times
'Absolutely beautiful.' Audrey Carville
‘I have both cried and laughed reading this book. It is beautiful.’ – Muireann O'Connell
In this riveting autobiography, Lightbody delves into the personal journey of his life, marked by music and the death of his father. The book, a top pick in the non-fiction genre, is a testament to his resilience and the transformative power of art.
