1. Formed in 2006 by Mike Watchorn and Alex 'Gooders' Goodwin from the ashes of previous projects. Over the course of the first year ITW gathered members for the remaining positions in the band and got down to writing, rehearsing and promotion ahead of its release.
By the summer of 2007 ITW were finally ready for the stage, and with a well received debut show and a few magazine live reviews under the belt the band had already started to make a mark in the unsigned UK circuit.
Throughout their first year of shows and promotion, various members were in and out of the recording studio on a regular basis to piece together all the material for the self titled debut mini-album. With all the usual rock band curses, the album went through complications (holding it back from its originally planned synchronisation with the first string of shows) and became a physical form in the fall of 2008, in time for the group’s successful first full UK tour.
2009 saw the band embarking on further promotion and many larger shows including a double performance at the UK's Bloodstock Open Air Festival in Derby.
2. Into the Woods are a Melbourne folk band from another time… Likened to Wilco, Midlake and Okkervil River, the band’s folk sound results from slight surprises on traditional formulas. Musically, four-part harmonies fill out classic chord progressions, country moments mutate into big band anthems, and all seven members wander the stage like minstrels, switching instruments as they go. Lyrically, the songs consider morality, mortality, loss and redemption; all of this tempered by the character-driven conventions of true folk music.
Formed in 2006, Into the Woods have played with some of Melbourne’s finest including Little Red, Institut Polaire and Grizzly Jim Lawrie. The band are currently putting some finishing gloss on their debut EP ‘The Willow Tree’.
3. The band first assembled in late 2010 when members found themselves bound together by a cold Canadian winter. Forced to reside in a former WW2 Prisoner of War camp and scientific research station; nights were spent chronicling the fate of the previous inhabitants and the current flock of victims. In the first winter some of the popular songs heard included, Nazi Zombies, FPC (French Pennington Criminal), AB-original vs. Mu-Ga-B and Dirty Slut. The aggressive nature of the songs was often attributed to underlying tensions within the band that remain to this day. The band went on hiatus during the middle part of 2011 because of logistical issues regarding practice sessions, only to reform later at the beginning of the following winter. On reliving the old material, serious consideration was given to a reunion tour, which remains unrealised. Some new songs were written regarding the new living environment and characters. There may be a gathering of members in mid 2012.....
No One Is Alone
Into the Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mother cannot guide you.
Now you're on you're own.
Only me beside you.
Still, you're not alone.
No one is alone, truly.
No one is alone.
halfway through the wood.
Others may deceive you.
You decide what's good.
You decide alone.
But no one is alone.
Little Red Riding Hood
I wish
Cinderella
I know
Mother isn't here now.
Wrong things, right things
Who knows what she'd say?
Who can say what's true?
Nothing's quite so clear now-
Do things, fight things
Feel you've lost your way?
You decide, but
You are not alone, (Baker: You are not alone)
Believe me.
No one is alone.
No one is alone,
Believe me.
Truly
Both
You move just a finger,
Say the slightest word,
Something's bound to linger,
Be heard.
No one acts alone.
Careful, no one is alone
Cinderella
People make mistakes.
Mothers,
Both
People make mistakes,
Holding their own,
Thinking they're alone.
Cinderella
Honor their mistakes
Fight for their mistakes-
Everybody makes-
Both
One another's
Terrible mistakes.
Witches can be right,
Giants can be good.
You decide what's right,
You dedide what's good.
Cinderella
Just remember:

We can make it so.
Someone is on you side,
No one is alone
The song "No One Is Alone" from the musical "Into the Woods" is a powerful piece about the importance of community and support. The lyrics are addressed to various characters in the show who are struggling with loneliness, uncertainty, and the consequences of their past actions. The song emphasizes that even when it seems we are alone and lost, we are still connected to others in some way, and that we can find strength and guidance in each other.
The first two stanzas are sung by Cinderella and express her sense of abandonment and confusion in the absence of her mother. "Mother cannot guide you / Now you're on your own / Only me beside you / Still you're not alone" she sings, acknowledging the limits of her role as a friend and ally, but also reminding the listener that they are not truly isolated. The following lines are a call to take responsibility for one's own life and decisions: "Sometimes people leave you halfway through the wood / Others may deceive you / You decide what's good / You decide alone." The theme of self-determination is repeated several times throughout the song, as a challenge to the characters to make choices and take risks, and an assurance that they can do so without being abandoned.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "No one is alone" several times, building in intensity and harmony with each refrain. The words are both an affirmation of the characters' existing connections with each other and a plea to reach out to others who might be struggling. The final verse of the song brings the different characters together in a shared sense of responsibility and compassion; "We can make it so / Someone is on your side / No one is alone." The repetition of "our side" by Little Red Riding Hood and Jack was the last chorus that states they are never alone.

I absolutely love into the woods because they point out that there is no real villain and that good and evil are just a matter of perspective.
@CelestialDraconis

@SummerDelReyboy
+DeeEll1 same so true and be careful what you wish
@DeeEll1
Mark Merzweiler True but congress won't let him actually do anything similar to how they didn't let obama do anything albeit for a different reason. at this point I'm more wary of hillary since she is almost as bad as trump but could actually cause some serious damage.
@hlubideetz7614
Hillary Clinton is like a fox, sly and sneaky, and she seems to have an Evil era around her.
Donald Trump is a true idiot. Thankfully I only have to choose between a bald-ass and a penguin for president.
ANC and EFF. ugh. Never mind I will vote for D.A.
@DeeEll1
Natalie Berrisford you know what's pretty evil? boasting that you could kill someone and get away with it, bragging that you could rape someone and get away with it, saying that the only thing keeping the world from a nuclear war is a problem and dehuminizing 99% of the population. So even though hillary isn't my first choice either, I'm still going to vote her over a literal hitler.
@nicolavarty7847
The best part of this song is the line "maybe we forgot" it just sounds so nice the all the voices harmonising together
