In the tradition of Phish compositions like "You Enjoy Myself," "Divided Sky" and "Petrichor," Trey Anastasio has shared a new, sweeping, 14+ minute track dubbed "Forward People."
Many fans are concluding that the string and horn-laden offering is a product of Anastasio's recent collaborations with the Rescue Squad Strings and his own Trey Anastasio Band at The Beacon Jams. However, this song has yet to be heard in the live setting.
"Hope to see you soon," Anastasio wrote alongside the track, with a "fingers crossed" emoji, nodding Phish's the ever-swirling tour rumors.
"We are one/ You are not alone" Anastasio sings as the opening lyrics. "All things are connected/ And we are reaping what we sow/ But even out there on your own/ We cannot be divided/ You are not alone/ You're never really alone."
Later, fans are given yet another lifeline from the guitarist, as he sings, "I miss you too/ There's nothing more to say now/ I'm focused on the new/ I know we'll find a way."
