Ryan Redwood returns with Forever, a blistering indie-rock outburst that finds its fire in the grind of everyday life. Where his previous work hinted at frustration, Forever turns it into a rallying cry — gritty, relentless, and defiantly human.
Opening with that brilliantly stark lyric — “I’m sick of heating up my dinner when I get home” — Redwood drags the monotony of real life straight into the spotlight. It’s a line born from an actual rubbish shift and a microwaved meal, and you can hear every ounce of that fed-up energy embedded in the track’s DNA. Written in just 15 minutes, the song carries the urgency of something that simply had to exist.
Musically, Forever is Redwood at his sharpest. The drums snap like a warning shot, the bass grumbles with a lived-in resentment, and the guitars buzz with the kind of nervy electricity that defined early-2000s indie rebellion. It’s raw but purposeful — a controlled surge of noise that mirrors the restlessness at the heart of the lyrics.
What really elevates it is Redwood’s vocal. There’s grit, sure, but also a pulse of emotion that makes the track feel less like a complaint and more like a declaration. He’s not wallowing — he’s refusing to sink quietly into routine.
Forever burns with the kind of truth that can’t be faked. It’s a cathartic shout from the back room where the guitar gets grabbed in frustration and turned into something powerful. A reminder that even the smallest moments of frustration can spark something anthemic.
A bold step forward and a statement of intent, Forever cements Ryan Redwood as one of the few modern indie artists with both the rawness and the honesty to cut through the noise.
