Forwardman - We Are

Forwardman - We Are


We Are - Official Music Video


Forwardman is a brainchild of Helsinki-based singer-songwriter Sakari Viittala. Getting by with a lot of help from good friends, Mr. Viittala has been writing and producing his songs since the dawn of time which explains why first release Ring Up The Curtain EP came out already in March 2014.

On the heels of the EP-release came out a single Twenty-Six in May 2014. Described as "western styled drive pop glow" by Mark Barton (The Sunday Experience, Liverpool, UK) the single and the video were well received by a few music bloggers in the UK and Finland. Second single Houses preceded the debut album with a music video in October 2014.

Debut album This Ain´t No Rocket Science was released 30.1.2015 on all digital stores. Portrayed as a "a classic alternative-rock collection of songs offering an eclectic album filled with upbeat, catchy tunes and mellow melodies to suit any mood" by a Dublin based Music and Culture focused Pure M Magazine the album received only a few reviews from the media. First radio play came with the song Twenty-Six from Radio Rock, one of the major radio stations in Finland.

Throughout 2016 and 2017 Forwardman worked towards a follow-up to the debut album with new musical partners The Inkilä Brothers. Finally a song "We Are" (released 1.1.2018) is the first single preceding a new album to be released later in 2018. News about the upcoming album are to follow...

Lyrics - We Are

You try to reason in your mind, hard to keep everything in line,
still you do not follow
Time will not hold you here for long, soon the night will take it all
do you find it hard to swallow?

Please clear your eyes, clear your eyes, it is part of your design
to overcome, to overcome the resistance in you
Fight to behold, to behold the inconceivable
don´t deny, don´t deny it´s the reason why

We are where we are
We are where we are

So you go on ignoring it, still you know something doesn´t fit
the path it seems so narrow....

Please clear your eyes, clear your eyes, it is part of your design
to overcome, to overcome the resistance in you
Fight to behold, to behold the inconceivable
don´t deny, don´t deny it´s the reason why

We are where we are
We are where we are

Stand back let it all in you know this love
like a slow train moving on down coming on up

It´s no crime to miss someone
Untie me c´mon let go
