In 1996, the band started as a … Read Full Bio ↴Milk Inc. was a dance band from Belgium.
In 1996, the band started as a studio-project of 3 young, talented producers: Regi Penxten, Ivo Donckers & Filip Vandueren and released an EP on the underground label of Dance Opera.
In 1997, the song La Vache reaching #21 in UK (although completely unnoticed in their homeland Belgium), started it all. Because of the huge success of this song in France, the French label Hottracks of Scorpio Music released the song under the group name "La Vache", so people could remember it. The vocals were done by Jade 4 U (aka Nikkie Van Lierop). In October 1997, the single Free Your Mind followed.
In February 1998, and still under the name "La Vache" and with the new vocalist Ann Vervoort, the single Inside Of Me was released followed by the album Apocalypse Cow in March and the huge hit In My Eyes in December. "In My Eyes" climbed the Belgian charts quickly and reached #2 though it did not find any success in France and it was the last release in France for Milk Inc. At this point, the band name were changed to be "Milk Inc.".
In April 1999, in Belgium, the single Promise was released and reached #3 on the Belgian charts. The Belgian version of the album Apocalypse Cow came out in May, more than a year later than the French release.
In April 2000, the new single Walk On Water was released and reached #1 on the Belgian charts. In September, Ann Vervoort left Milk Inc. to start her own record label. She was replaced by Linda Mertens. In November, the album Land Of The Living was released. The first single was Livin' a Lie.
In 2001, Never Again was the next single to be released (reached #17 on the Belgian charts). The follow up was named Wide Awake (reached #2 on the Belgian charts).
In 2002, the next song was named Sleepwalker(reached #6 on the Belgian charts). The follow-up was entitled Breathe Without You and it was out on October (reached #7 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2003, their new single called Time was out (reached #10 on the Belgian charts). In August, they announced they would make a cover of a song from The Sun Always Shines On TV. The videoclip was shot in France on the 14th September (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). In October, their brand new album Closer was released. It contained 14 songs including I Don't Care; a duet between Linda and Silvy de Bie (from Sylver). Blown Away was the only instrumental song on this album. Regi appeared for the first time on a Milk Inc. song singing a ballad with Linda in the last track Maybe. In November, Milk Inc. performed in Poland.
In 2004, the new single from Milk Inc. was I Don't Care. The video was shot at Club Atmoz at Hasselt. The new single jumped to #3 in the Belgian charts at the end of March. The follow-up was entitled Whisper, and in October it peaked to #1 in Belgium. The same month, Milk Inc. released their first DVD in Australia. It contained 18 videos, as well as an acoustic set of 5 songs (I Don't Care, Oceans, Walk On Water, Don't Cry and Maybe, recorded especially for this occasion) and a few extras.
In May 2005, Milk Inc's new single was entitled Blind (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). The video was recorded on the 14th of April. It peaked up to #5 in Belgium. In September, Regi released a solo single entitled No Music. It went directly #16 in the Belgian charts. The following month, Go To Hell was released (reached #4 on the Belgian charts).
In May 2006, the new single Tainted Love (a cover version of the famous hit) was released (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The fourth album Supersized was out in September. It was called after the mega-concert at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. It included the hit songs Whisper, Blind, Go To Hell, Tainted Love, and 8 brand new songs + 1 bonus song. The next single was Run (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The next Milk Inc. single was No Angel. The video clip was shot live during Milk Inc. Supersized concert.
In 2007, they earned a golden record for their album Supersized. Milk Inc left their former records company to enter ARS. Their new single Sunrise was out on the 22nd of June. Milk Inc.'s latest single Tonight is still charting very well. It peaked at #6 so far.
Milk Inc. effectively ceased to exist around the mid 2010s.
Forever
Milk Inc. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a game we played
Or a scene from a movie
Can't we freeze the frame
Can't we pause the game
Can't you always be with me
Am I running out of time?
Am I running out of time?
With you
Can't it just be now forever
You and me together
Now forever
Then you'd stay
Can't it just be now forever
You and me together
Now forever
Then you'd stay
I wish the days to come
Were already gone
Already far behind us
Every kiss goodbye
Every sacrifice
Every time you walk away
Am I running out of time?
Am I really losing my mind?
Am I running out of time?
With you
Can't it just be now forever
You and me together
Now forever
Then you'd stay
Can't it just be now forever
You and me together
Now forever
Then you'd stay
The lyrics to Milk Inc's song "Forever" convey the longing for a love that lasts and a desire to freeze time in that moment. The song suggests that the singer has experienced love in the past, but it was fleeting and he wants it to last forever now. The singer questions whether he is running out of time or losing his mind, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.
The first verse suggests that the relationship feels like it was from the past or a movie. It's almost like it never existed in reality. The singer doesn't want the relationship to end and wants to pause everything that's going on around them.
In the second verse, the singer wishes that the future is already behind them so that they don't have to anticipate the pain of goodbyes and sacrifices. He emphasizes that walking away every time is painful and he wants everything to be frozen in place.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to have the relationship last forever. The singer wants to be together with his loved one, now and forever. He emphasizes that if he could just have his loved one stay now and forever, the pain of goodbyes and sacrifices would be worth it.
Overall, the song conveys the message that eternal love is something that humans long for, but it's difficult to attain. It's a desire that seems close yet so far away.

Seems like yesterday
It feels as though it happened just recently
Was a game we played
It felt like something we did for fun
Or a scene from a movie
It seemed like it was something from a film
Can't we freeze the frame
Can't we hold onto this moment forever
Can't we pause the game
Can't we temporarily stop time to enjoy this more
Can't you always be with me
Can't we be together constantly, without interruption
Am I running out of time?
Am I running out of time to spend with you
Am I really losing my mind?
Am I going crazy with the thought of losing you
Can't it just be now forever
Can't this moment last forever
You and me together
Just the two of us, together
Then you'd stay
If we could stay like this, you wouldn't have to leave
I wish the days to come
I wish the future didn't have to come
Were already gone
If the upcoming days could be over already
Already far behind us
If we could already be past them
Every kiss goodbye
Every time you have to say goodbye to me with a kiss
Every sacrifice
Every time one of us has to make a sacrifice for the other
Every time you walk away
Every time you leave my side

Finally Milk Inc are back. It's been ages since they had anything out in the UK. I can remember that they had a good run of hits and were always invited to perform on TOTP. This is gonna put them back on the music map.
