1) British producer Ian Levine was behind one of the first boy bands in history, Seventh Avenue, formed in 1979. Signing to one of the leading US disco labels, AVI Records, Seventh Avenue released the album Midnight in Manhattan, a love story in five acts - the back cover with two young boys stripped to the waist more than suggested it was a gay love story - starting with "Midnight in Manhattan", "New York's on Fire", then experiencing "Miami Heatwave" (a popular disco 12"), going "From Chicago to the Sky" to "L.A. at the End of the Day".
With the demise of disco, it seemed Seventh Avenue would be a one-off project before Levine decided to assemble a new line-up of the group in 1984 when he was working for Record Shack Records. The Northern Soul-flavoured "I Hear Thunder" became a hit on the UK Hi-NRG scene and was followed by "Ending up on a High", but it was "Love's Gone Mad" (1986) which caused a lot of buzz and it looked as if the group was about to cross over to the pop chart. Unfortunately, Record Shack proved unable to press enough copies of the single, thus preventing it from being able to enter the charts. Levine left the label in rage that they'd wasted this opportunity.
By the end of the year, Levine had formed his own label, Nightmare Records, which released four more Seventh Avenue singles over subsequent years, the line-up varying between three to four members on each release. In 1988, the LP The Love I Lost was released, assembling all their tracks recorded in the past four years. Hot Productions released Seventh Avenue's two albums as well as a compilation CD in the mid-90s.
2) Seventh Avenue is a Band From Germany who got their influences from Stryper and Iron Maiden. Music could best be defined as Melodic Power Metal. Band officially split up in 2012. Vocalist Herbie Langhans joined Band called Neoshine but because of legal reason band had to changed name to Sin Breed
Children
Seventh Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waste my life and see today
See this world full of pain and horror
Why can't they understand?
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
Overfed with crime and terror
Sitting, watching war TV
Demonstrating people want to
Live in peace and harmony
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you'll feel no loneliness
Hear the children cry
In this world of war
See your mother die
With her babies in her arms
After all this time there never will be crime
After all this time where children never die
After all this time the sun is shining bright
After all this time you'll feel no loneliness
Seventh Avenue's song "Children" is a poignant plea for peace and understanding in today's world. The lyrics begin by questioning why people cannot seem to grasp the pain and horror present in the world, despite the clear evidence of it. The singer is willing to waste their life to show people what they are not seeing and to make a change. The chorus then introduces the heart-wrenching image of children crying and mothers dying with their babies in their arms. The second verse criticizes those who watch war on TV or participate in demonstrations, but do not seem to take meaningful action towards creating a more peaceful world.
The song's repetition of the phrase "After all this time" emphasizes the seemingly futile efforts towards peace so far. But the final lines imply that perseverance will ultimately pay off. The fighting and death will eventually come to an end, and the sun will shine bright. The loneliness and sorrow that we feel in the face of horror will fade away.
Seventh Avenue's message is a reminder to us all to take action towards peace, rather than watching from the sidelines. It highlights the suffering that is inflicted upon innocent children and mothers, and calls for a world where they will no longer cry and die in pain.
