Forevermore (Epica song)
"Forevermore" is the twelfth single released by the Dutch symphonic metal band Epica. The single was recorded for the Dutch TV show "Niks te gek" (translation: "Nothing too weird"), where people with a mental disability can make a desired wish come true. They recorded, together with Netherlands citizen Ruurd Woltring, one of his self-written songs ("Forevermore"). It is also the first song recorded by the band with Rob van der Loo on bass guitar.
In the song, a boy (Woltring) meets an angel (Simone Simons), who gives him the feeling that they belong together, even though their worlds lie far apart, and thus wants to take him to heaven. A devil (represented in the grunts of Mark Jansen and the screams of Woltring) however tries to pull the boy down into his world, in which he doesn't succeed, because of the angel's positive energy.
