Micheal Fordays returns with his reflective new single ‘Weighing’
With a career spanning from gritty garage bands to industrial rock giants, Micheal Fordays brings a wealth of experience to his latest single ‘Weighing’. The track, a precursor to his upcoming album The Odds of Magic, showcases Fordays’ ability to blend introspective lyricism with his signature rock sensibility, creating a piece that is as thoughtful as it is musically compelling.
Fordays handles vocals, guitar, and bass, while his long-time collaborator Dave Klein adds depth with drums and keyboards, recorded and mixed at the aptly named Dave Klein Recording. Their synergy is palpable, reflecting a shared vision honed over years of collaboration. Together, they craft a sound that is both familiar and fresh, merging the best of Fordays’ rock roots with a modern, contemplative edge.
‘Weighing’ is a meditation on the delicate balance of relationships. It explores the importance of keeping emotions in check and the complexity of connections that feel both significant and uncertain. The song’s contemplative nature is mirrored in its musical arrangement—melodic guitar lines intertwine with atmospheric keys, all underpinned by a steady, unhurried beat. This creates a space where the listener can ponder the lyrics, much like Fordays must have while writing them.
From his early days, Micheal Fordays has always been an artist unafraid to explore different musical landscapes. His journey from heavy metal and punk influences to more introspective songwriting is evident in ‘Weighing’. Here, Fordays blends his hard-earned musical skills with the lessons learned from life and love, crafting a song that resonates with authenticity.
As we await the full release of his upcoming album, ‘Weighing’ stands as a testament to Micheal Fordays’ ability to distill complex emotions into compelling, relatable music. It’s a track that not only engages the ear but also stirs the heart, hinting at the depth and introspection that the upcoming album will surely offer.
