Forevermore

Forevermore is a single by the Dutch band EPICA featuring Ruurd Woltring.  It was released throughout Nuclear Blast in 2012.

It's also the first song with Rob van der Loo on bass guitar.

Background

The song was written by Woltring, starting under the name Stairway to Heaven. After listening to a couple of Van Canto’s songs (Water, Fire, Heaven, Earth and Hearted) and Our Farewell by Within Temptation, Woltring came up with the idea to combine the music of aforementioned songs and added his own lyrics to it. The lyrics actually tell the story of a boy, who meets an angel. She 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 however tries to pull the boy down into his world, in which he doesn’t succeed, because of the angel’s positive energy.
