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.....

Into the Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.
Rapunzel
No, no, please!
Witch
Children must see-
Rapunzel
No!
Witch
And learn.
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen.
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?
Ah, but I am old.
I am ugly.
I embarass you.
Rapunzel
No!
Witch
You are ashamed of me.
Rapunzel
No!
Witch
You are ashamed.
You don't understand.
Rapunzel
It was lonely atop that tower.
Witch
I was not company enough?
Rapunzel
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.
Witch
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.
Princes wait there in the world, it's true.
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.
Stay with me,
The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.
The song "Stay With Me" from the musical “Into the Woods” is a conversation between the Witch and Rapunzel. The Witch has raised Rapunzel in a tower and fears that if she leaves, she will be exposed to the dangers of the world. The Witch is demanding that Rapunzel stay with her and tries to guilt her into staying by questioning what she has done for her and asking what the world has to offer that she cannot provide. On the other hand, Rapunzel desires to see the world and live her own life. She tries to resist the Witch’s demands, stating that she is no longer a child and wants to explore the world outside the tower.
The song touches on themes of control and dependency, as well as the fear of the unknown. The Witch is holding on to Rapunzel and refuses to let her go even though she knows she must. She is unable to let go of her power over Rapunzel and let her live her own life. Rapunzel, despite being conflicted, wants to be independent and starts to understand that it is only by leaving the tower that she can grow into her own person.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the struggles of growing up, letting go and moving on. It emphasizes the importance of facing our fears and finding our own way in the world, while also recognizing the value of the support and guidance we've received in our formative years.

Watching this scene in the movie theatre made me want to cry, especially since my mom was sitting near my seat. Flashbacks of all the things I had done in the past that made her disappointed and sad flashed through my mind like lightning and my heart was being crushed emotionally. In that one scene, it made me reflect on everything I done in the past that had disappointed my mom and the guilt built up inside that leaked out in the form of tears, I almost wanted to hug my mom and just cry in her arms right then and there as a way of telling her "I'm sorry"
Stay at home
Mom is home
Who could love you more than mother?
Stay with her
Stay a child while you can be a child
With her
No matter how grown you are, you are still momma's little boy/girl. Stay her child and show your appreciation while you still can with her

I love that she puts wolves and humans on the same level of evil. It is extremely accurate.
Nicole Song
Actually, wolves are probably less evil than humans (as a collective).
CreativeUsernameEh
Wolves aren't capable of as much evil (or good!) as humans. They're just wolves.
hellfirehoeclub
wolves arent evil tho :( they get such a bad rap
