Forevertree's name is inspired by Psalms 1:3, "He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers."
Forevertree have been around since the late 90's in some form or another...having seen a tremendous positive response with their first cd "Turning"....endorsements from Jackson guitars, Seymour Duncan pickups and more...the band quickly started touring Canada in support of that CD gaining fans across the country......the band came off the road and started to work on their next CD "Alien"....at the time Forevertree went through some personal changes and "Alien" was put on hold.
Fast forward to 2009, with many avenues and situations explored one of the original members(Geoff) had felt in his heart that it was time to see if Forevertree could be once more!...Geoff, Dwayne and Jeff were back with new Drummer Ron Mellegers it was time for Forvertree to rise!....or was it?....unfortunately Jeff Miller was unable to commit anymore due to his current position as guitarist for Blissed. through an onslot of possible new guitarists and auditions Forevertree came to a halt......but not for long!!!
Long time friend and fellow musician Sean McGowan was eventually offered the spot as new guitarist for Forvertree, being in contact off and on over the years Geoff and Sean still had history together and lo and behold FOREVERTREE was reborn! Forvertree finally completed "Alien" in the year 2009 after almost a decade......fans eagerly gobbled up the new cd....they had been waiting a long time for this!!!. For the last half of the year Forevertree saw some amazing things happening within and around the band, Being on the NUMBER 1 Spot for over 3 mnths on the Christian hard rock radio station and finishing the year(2009) as the third most requested band of 2009 above such groups as skillet, flyleaf, Brian Head Welch (ex-Korn) this was an amazing accomplishment....not to mention being played on as many radio stations as possible in the states....with radio tracking in Nashville, opening for Stryper in Toronto september of 2009 and much more.
The new single "higher" has just been launched to radio and is progressively climbing the charts..Forvertree, now back better and harder than ever have begun production on their newest cd "ZOMBIE" with all the new members and are very excited and hopeful for the future. With "ZOMBIE" being more aggressive and in your face the band has also maintained the commercial side of the music always maintaining and uplifting their positive message......FOREVERTREE a new and fresh experience for the masses!!

Forevertree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set my eyes on a higher place Where Your light shines on my face For You found me, touched me, broke me, healed me Buried me in Your word
Always
You know me and I thought I was alone You called me and You brought me home
All my actions and my dreams All my whispers and my screams
There is nothing that You can't do
There is no pain that You didn't feel
For every action every word Every thought I have was heard
You know me and I thought I was alone You called me and You brought me home
The lyrics to "Home" by Forevertree center around a theme of faith and the idea that even before our lives began, there was always a higher power watching over us. The first stanza speaks to this, with the lines “Before you, was I am / Even before your life began / Always was always been / Nothing is hidden all is seen” suggesting that we are part of something greater than ourselves, that has always existed and always will.
The rest of the song continues with this theme, with the chorus repeating “You know me and I thought I was alone / You called me and You brought me home”. The lyrics talk about how, despite our doubts and fears, there is always someone watching over us, guiding us, and helping us find our way back home. The lines “Set my eyes on a higher place / Where Your light shines on my face / For You found me, touched me, broke me, healed me / Buried me in Your word” illustrate this beautifully, showing how faith can be a guiding light in our lives, even in our darkest moments.
Overall, "Home" is a beautiful song that speaks to the power of faith and the idea that even when we are alone and struggling, there is always someone looking out for us.
