Since the release of their debut, the band, now focused around Eric Owyoung and a rotating cast of members, released the Advent Christmas EP over the Christmas of 2008.
This was followed up by the Travel series of albums, Travel, Travel II and Travel III, to be released on 30th June 2010.

Close Your Eyes
Future of Forestry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ask, "What was that all about now?"
You and I through rise and fall
We've seen the horizon through it all now
Close your eyes this time
'Cause trust is all we have tonight
But trust will be forever
'Cause trust will be the light tonight
So close your eyes this time
The house sits stale, it lets you roam
Inside it just don't feel like home now
I promise hope will pull you out
For that's what love is all about
Time will turn this place around
For the man you call Jesus was still a Son like you
Sons will spend their days searching hard for the things they are made of
Close your eyes this time
Trust will be the light tonight so close your eyes this time
Trust will be the light tonight so close your eyes
The song "Close Your Eyes" by Future Of Forestry seems to have a message of hope, trust, and perseverance. The opening lines of the song -- "Promise once it shut you out, You ask, 'What was that all about now?'" -- may be referring to a particular event or experience that has caused the listener pain or confusion. However, the song suggests that through this rise and fall, the listener has still managed to see the horizon and continue moving forward.
The chorus of the song encourages the listener to "close your eyes this time" and trust in the light of hope and love. The house that "sits stale" and doesn't feel like home may represent a sense of stagnation or lack of growth in the listener's life. However, the promise of hope and love is that they can pull us out of those difficult times and lead us to a better place.
The reference to Jesus as "still a Son like you" suggests that the struggles and searching that the listener is going through are not unique. No matter what our beliefs, we all face challenges and are searching for meaning and purpose in our lives. Ultimately, the song encourages us to trust in that journey and know that we are not alone.

If I were 22, I'd probably say OMG!! Since I'm 69, I'll say FANTASTIC group. Great musicianship, great voices, great songwriting! I got an Amazon gift card more than a year ago. Now I know what to spend it on.
