‘Forever Blue’ by Connor Douglas Ferguson starts with a gentle acoustic guitar, the simplicity of which belies the complex emotions woven through Ferguson’s lyrics. It’s clear from the opening chords that this is a personal milestone for Ferguson, a reflection on the darker aspects of his psyche explored through the strings of his guitar and his soft vocals. Lyrically, Ferguson doesn’t hold back. His words are candid, reflecting a realistic take on his struggles.

The authenticity of his message is palpable, as he sings about the internal conflicts that haunt him, yet his delivery is imbued with a hope that resonates deeply, suggesting a reconciliation with his inner turmoil. The transformation of ‘Forever Blue’ from a simple acoustic song to a richly layered piece is courtesy of producers Alec Zeilon and Boyd Bennett. Their collaboration with Ferguson has propelled the song into a new realm, where the softness of acoustic guitars and vocals meets the polish of dynamic production. Absolutely recommended!
