Edmonton’s Forester has released a new single entitled, “You Were Born.” The song is the lead single off the band’s new EP, Young Guns. Written and recorded across studios, apartments, and rehearsal spaces – sometimes years apart – the new album pieces together moments of clarity, pain, joy, freedom, turbulence, and regret into a raw document of becoming.

Vocalist Keenan Gregory shared the following about the new song:

“It’s about the instant you realize that a line has been crossed, and the heavy silence that follows when love and hurt collide. ‘You Were Born’ was one of those songs we had to wait for. The second verse was written over email almost five years after the rest of the track. We had wanted that section to lift, but were at a loss of how to do it until one day James [Banks] sent over a guitar riff and drum idea that set the pace. I responded with the  piano part instantly, Wayne [Axani] had the vocal locked in, and suddenly it was alive. Despite this song having a long gap in between writing periods, once that new idea had sparked, the final piece of the puzzle came together within an hour or two.”
