Ross Freedman’s earnest and heartfelt soft rock ballad Horizon is a moment to hold on to, a reminder to persevere, and an anthem for recovery. Freedman’s pained vocals carry beneath them all a feeling of hope and betterment. Freedman penned the poignant piece in the middle of the pandemic, not long after his mother, and then his father-in-law, passed away in 2019. Central to the song’s theme is an idea that wasn’t even immediately visible to Freedman as he wrote it. It’s about returning to normalcy and finding your footing after you’ve been thrown off the saddle by things that seem unimaginably, almost irrevocably bad.
If you’re looking for a ballad that will have you feeling the pain you want evoked, but also leave you feeling slightly hopeful and confident that you can see the other side of the horizon, Ross Freedman’s purposeful and eloquent soft rock ballad is perfect for you.
