2) Fire & Ice is a trance formation consisting of Laurent Vรฉronnez aka L-Vee and Jurgen Leyers aka DJ Fire.
They met at Love Parade '97 and after a long talk decided to do a project together, with focus on producing "emotional trance". Their first single "Lost Emotions" hit Europe by storm and is still one of their biggest hits so far. After that first one, other big hits followed : "What you are for me/Out of Darkness", "Beyond my control", "Neverending Melody" and "Forever Young".
Their single "Lost Emotions 2001" made them big in Germany and Switzerland. They belong to the favorites of e.g. Tiesto and Armin van Buuren. Practically every single reached the top 10 of the Belgian dance charts... The next single "Souvenir de Chine" (a cover of a Jean-Michel Jarre track) continued their path of success all over Europe. Their remix of Sonic Inc.'s single "The Taste of Summer" scored massively all over! It stayed as the number 1 entry of the Belgian Dance charts for 2 consecutive weeks and went Top 50 in the Dutch singles chart. Their other releases "Heart and Mind" and "Close to me" both scored massively and can be found on leading compilations like Ferry Corsten"s "Washington MTV". "Samoa/Para Siempre" became a big trancehit all over the globe and was played by every top DJ.

What would it mean, what would it mean
It's 3am
What would it mean to be forever young
Weโd laugh, get high all night long
I should've known better when you told me
"Jump"
Tried to fly but I fell in love
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Tried to fly but I f-
I been living different ever
Since we ended it
Tryna be someone that I'm not
Feel like an idiot
Grew up way too fast though
Rob you of your innocence
Really tried to changะต
But itโs hard when you don't give a shit
I'm in a daze, following my own shadow
And my hะตart follow wherever my head go
Days spent dreamin' 'bout my
Piece of paradise
To my angel, I pray to her every night
Another moment gone, slipped through my arms
We like to live fast while we are young
A product of the place where we come from
We laugh, we cry, we walk, we run
I try to hold on to the feelings I love
Some people got closer, others lost touch
Sure that happens for a reason
Could you tell me what?
I barely ever listen, words don't mean much
What would it mean if we never grew up
If we didn't listen to a
Thing they ever told us
Would we find a reason to feel so rushed
Or would we slow down and try our luck
What would it mean to be forever young
We'd laugh, get high all night long
I shouldโve known better when you told me

I tried to fly, you tried to lie
Bad lil shawty, Iโma take her
To Dubai with me, oh
Catch a vibe with me, oh yeah
Do you wanna die with me now
Or wanna die with me old?
Some things never ever change
Haters wanna put a fucking bullet in my brain
So I wear a vest, ay
Shawty think it's fine but she
Donโt got a chest, ay
Haters tryna ruin my best day
And I hope I live a long life
Live a long time i been with her every day
But I think I need alone time
I'm in my zone I, feel
Great, feel great, feel great, yeah

The song "Forever Young" by Fire & Ice starts with a question, "What would it mean to be forever young?" and sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics evoke a sense of youthful rebellion and a desire to live life to the fullest, without any constraints or limitations. The imagery of laughing and getting high all night long suggests a carefree lifestyle that is often associated with youth.
The verse that follows, however, portrays a much darker picture of the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer seems to have lost their sense of self and identity, and is struggling to find their place in the world. The lines "Tryna be someone that I'm not, feel like an idiot" illustrate their frustration with this sense of confusion.
The chorus is then repeated with slight variations, emphasizing the desire to be forever young and carefree despite the challenges of growing up and the pain of lost love. The bridge brings a touch of vulnerability as the singer wonders if they would slow down and try their luck or continue to rush through life if they never grew up.

I'm just going to add the same comment I left on Discogs with this one <3
"Everything sounds nice and classy with some great energy in the early parts of 'Forever Young' (as you'd expect from Laurent and Jurgen's Fire & Ice collab) up until the breakdown section, then the simple riff introduced here kind of leaves you really unsure of which direction the track is going to go or what shape it will take.
Then in slowly filters one of the most stunning emotional lead melodies you'll find! Everything then comes together in pure orgasmic fashion, leaving the hairs on the back of your neck standing and tears of joy running down your face."
