Forever Breathes the Lonely Word is the sixth album by English alternative rock band Felt, released in 1986. This is the first Felt album with no instrumental tracks. The cover photo subject is keyboardist Martin Duffy.
The record features Duffy's organ alongside two guitars, one sometimes played by Lawrence. The organ is foregrounded in the mix and creates a vastly new sound for the band.
In a 2011 NME feature, Hamish MacBain said of the album that "Lawrence delivered his masterpiece," and described it as "the first truly classic Creation album."
All songs written by Lawrence.
