1. Band history
The band Friend hails from the Soer-Troendelag region of Norway, and was formed around lead singer, guitarist and songwriter Tore André Helgemo, initially going by the name of Freeland. By January 2005, Freeland had evolved into Friend, drummer Per Ole Iversen and bassist Baard Dahle having joined along the way. With the arrival of lead guitarist William Ernstsen in March 2005, the present day line-up was complete.
Gigging frequently alongside writing, rehearsing and recording their own material, the band self-financed its debut EP, “Window to the World”, which saw the light of day in the early summer of 2006, to favourable reviews in the Norwegian press and on various websites. The recording of a video for the EP’s lead track, “Push Me”, would incidentally lead to an unexpected blast of publicity in Trondheim’s leading newspaper, Adresseavisa, as bloggers debated furiously back and forth whether recording your music video in a memorial ground for war veterans actually makes the band in question sacrilegious, satanic and whatnot. One listen to the band’s music and lyrics should certainly settle the issue with any intelligent rock fan out there.
Further developing their writing and live act following this, the band entered Nidaros recording studios in early 2007 to record a new single, with experienced engineer and co-producer Rune Nordal at the controls. “So Now You’re Leaving”, released February 2007 as a single, has generated extensive airplay for Friend, as has an interview and live appearance on Norwegian nationwide radio.
Inspiration and future aspirations
Altogether, the musicians in Friend have an accumulated experience of nearly 100 years in rock and roll. The likes of Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and Van Halen laid down the foundation for the classic rock music that Friend proves is as relevant and powerful as ever. The band is currently recording its first full album at Nidaros studios in Trondheim, with a tentative release set for spring 2008. In the meantime, the band continues to play live, as well as promoting itself towards websites and online music communities, the rock press and potential record labels and distribution partners.

The lyrics to the song "Friends" by BTS members V and Jimin are about the power of friendship, the importance of holding onto one's dreams despite the obstacles and the value of finding someone one can share their dreams and tears with. The verses express the idea that no matter how far away our dreams may seem or how difficult they are to achieve, we should keep believing and pursuing them. The repeated line "何万光年の彼方の星の光が今届くように" (naman kounen no kanata no hoshi no hikari ga ima todoku you ni) translates to "as if the light from a star millions of light years away has reached us now," emphasizing the idea that no matter how distant our hopes may be, they will eventually come to fruition.
The chorus repeats the phrase "探し続けて夢を叶えるのです" (sagashi tsudzukete yume wo kanaeru no desu), which means "keep searching and you will achieve your dreams." This line can be interpreted as a message to the listeners to never give up on their aspirations and to always continue striving towards them. The song ends with the line "僕は夢を叶えるのです" (boku wa yume wo kanaeru no desu) and "君は夢を叶えるのです" (kimi wa yume wo kanaeru no desu), which means "I will achieve my dreams" and "you will achieve your dreams," respectively. This highlights the theme of the song, which is about never losing sight of one's goals and dreams.
Overall, the lyrics to "Friends" are positive and uplifting, encouraging listeners to be persistent in their pursuit of their dreams and to cherish the friends who support them along the way.
