"Forever" is a song written by Jimmy Fortune, and recorded by American country music group The Statler Brothers. It was released in November 1986 as the third single from their album Four for the Show. The song peaked at number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.
Forever is the fourth album by German band Dune. It was released in 1997 on the label Orbit Records. The album is very different from the other albums released, because the style is classical. It contains covers of famous pop songs and was recorded with the London Session Orchestra at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
The singer, although not credited, is Verena von Strenge, Dune's lead singer at the time.
The Evil Queen, also known as the Wicked Queen or just the Queen, and sometimes instead identified by her given name as Queen Grimhilde, is the primary antagonist in Disney's 1937 animated film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. She is based on the Evil Queen character from the European fairy tale "Snow White".
In the film, similar to the Brothers Grimm story, the Evil Queen is cold, cruel, and extremely vain, and obsessively desires to remain the "fairest in the land". She becomes madly envious over the beauty of her stepdaughter, Princess Snow White, as well as the attentions of the Prince from another land; such love triangle element is one of Disney's changes to the story. This leads her to plot the death of Snow White and ultimately on the path to her own demise, which in the film is indirectly caused by the Seven Dwarfs. The film's version of the Queen character uses her dark magic powers to actually transform herself into an old woman instead of just taking a disguise like in the Grimms' story; this appearance of hers is commonly referred to as the Wicked Witch or alternatively as the Old Hag or just the Witch.
The Queen was an English automobile produced from 1904 to 1905. "The car for the million or the millionaire", it was sold by Horner & Sons of Mitre Square, London. Models of 12 and 16 hp were offered; prices ranged from 235 guineas to 275 guineas.
David Burgess Wise, The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Automobiles.
The Queen, often referred to as the Evil Queen or the Wicked Queen, is a fictional character and the main antagonist in "Snow White", a fairy tale set in the German countryside, recorded by the Brothers Grimm; similar stories are also known to exist in other countries. Other versions of the Queen appear in "Snow White" derivative works, and the character has also become an archetype for unrelated works of fiction.
The Queen is Snow White's evil and vindictive stepmother who is obsessed with being "the fairest in the land". The young princess Snow White makes her jealous, so the Queen concocts several plans to kill Snow White through the use of witchcraft. A driving force in the story is the Queen's Magic Mirror. In the traditional resolution of the story, the Queen is grotesquely executed for her crimes. The tale is a lesson for young children warning against narcissism and pride. She is often regarded as the most interesting character in "Snow White" and has been extensively analyzed and evaluated by literature scholars and psychologists.
Solace is a heavy metal band hailing from the Jersey Shore, United States.
Formed in 1996 by the remaining members of Atlantic Records artist Godspeed, Solace is most well known in the stoner rock genre, but as guitarist and founding member Tommy Southard has said "We're not a stoner band, we're a rock 'n' roll band—a hard rock band, a metal band." This idea was reaffirmed by iTunes.com in 2010 when they voted the band's third studio album A.D. "2010 Metal Album of the Year". However, their live performances at Stoner Rock festivals such as America's Emissions from the Monolith and Europe's Roadburn Festival, have rooted them just as deeply in that genre.
In 1994, east coast rockers Godspeed went to Electric Lady Studios to record their Atlantic Records debut album Ride. Featuring future Solace members Tommy Southard and Rob Hultz, Godspeed's major label run included a cover of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" for Nativity in Black: A Tribute to Black Sabbath with Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson, tours of the United States and Europe with Black Sabbath, Dio, Cathedral, and Sugartooth, as well as a music video for their single "Houston Street" featured on MTV's Headbanger's Ball and Beavis and Butt-head.
"My Solace"
Be sorrowless
Feel carefree
Be sorrowless
Feel carefree
Be sorrowless - you may find your solace in Them.
Feel carefree - and don't hide your despairing face in your hands.
Be sorrowless
Feel carefree
Be sorrowless
Feel carefree
Be sorrowless - don't bury your memories beside Them
Feel carefree - and you may
follow Their sacred path, follow Their pace.
A shiver is running down your spine
as They walk beside of you, but they can't be seen.
They take all harm away, like you are in mothers arm,
watch every step you take and keep fortune apart.
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
They expect no word of grace to dignate all Their care.
Just on the other side we'll recognize
Their loved faces as the familiar ones
of our beloved dears, we've lost in life.
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
(Ah... Ah... Ah...)
Be sorrowless-In their embrace you'll be able
