1) British produce… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band named Seventh Avenue.
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

Seventh Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To switch off the light
Although I'm alone a voice is whispering to me
It's like an ugly demon right beside my head
Oh how I hate his voice, I wish I'd have a choice
I don't want to hear the things he breathe in my ear
And if I try to hide the demon laughts at me
Nothing helps me, nothing alleviates
The voice still whispers
And I'm on to believe
Oh my child I know your fears
And I see what it looks inside you
I had to go the same path long ago
Oh my child I see your tears
And be sure, I'm crying with you
I hope you'll take my hand and trust in me
Cause I died for you
There's nothing more to say
And if I'm praying to God there's silence in my head
But I know it won't last, the voices come so fast
And they steal the strenght which I got just before
Reproach me with my sins, saying I'm too far out
I start to believe, relapsing down to grief
Sorrow drowns me in a sea of pain
Oh I scream and I cry, I ask and deny
Nothing helps me, nothing alleviates
The voice still whispers
And I'm on to believe
Oh my child I know your fears
And I see what it looks inside you
I had to go the same path long ago
Oh my child I see your tears
And be sure, I'm crying with you
I hope you'll take my hand and trust in me
Cause I died for you
There's nothing more to say
It's a long way from the ground
From the darkness into light
Where the lies part from the truth
Where you you'll see clear
There are no more voices to fear
No voices to fear
Oh I scream and I cry, I ask and deny
Nothing helps me, nothing alleviates
The voice still whispers
And I'm on to believe
Oh my child I know your fears
And I see what it looks inside you
I had to go the same path long ago
Oh my child I see your tears
And be sure, I'm crying with you
I hope you'll take my hand and trust in me
Cause I died for you
There's nothing more to say
The lyrics of Seventh Avenue's song "Voices" tell a story about the overwhelming power of inner demons and how they can consume someone's thoughts and emotions. The song talks about a voice that whispers dark and negative things to the singer when they're alone. This voice is like a demon that torments them constantly, and they cannot escape its grip. The singer is scared of the voice, but it still makes them believe in its words despite their denial. The voice keeps repeating itself until the singer is engulfed in sadness and pain.
The song's tone is heavy, and the lyrics are quite dark, making it challenging to interpret. However, the chorus offers hope to the singer, with the voice of an experienced person speaking to them with empathy. They reassure the singer that they have gone through the same nightmare but emerged victorious. They offer their hand in support, hoping that the singer will trust them and take their help. The voice explains that they have already died for the singer, and there is nothing more to say.
This song's interpretation will depend on the listener's situation, but it would be safe to conclude that this song is about depression, anxiety, and an inner battle with oneself. The song offers hope for people who have similar experiences, that there is a way out of the darkness if they trust in the people who want to help them.

When I am alone in the night I fear
I'm scared when it's dark and I'm by myself at night
To switch off the light
Even though I'm scared, I don't want to turn off the light
Although I'm alone a voice is whispering to me
Even though no one is there, I hear a voice whispering to me
It's like an ugly demon right beside my head
The voice sounds like an unpleasant demon right next to me
Oh how I hate his voice, I wish I'd have a choice
I hate the voice and wish I could make it stop
I don't want to hear the things he breathe in my ear
I don't want to listen to what the voice is saying in my ear
And if I try to hide the demon laughts at me
If I try to ignore the voice, it taunts me
Oh I scream and I cry, I ask and deny
I shout, cry, and question the voice
Nothing helps me, nothing alleviates
Nothing I do makes the voice go away or feel better
The voice still whispers
The voice continues to whisper
And I'm on to believe
I start to believe what the voice is saying
Oh my child I know your fears
Someone is talking to me, saying they understand my fears
And I see what it looks inside you
They say they can see what I'm feeling
I had to go the same path long ago
This person had the same experience as me in the past
Oh my child I see your tears
They see that I'm crying
And be sure, I'm crying with you
They assure me that they are also upset over my situation
I hope you'll take my hand and trust in me
They hope that I will trust them and take their help
Cause I died for you
They sacrificed themselves for me
There's nothing more to say
There's no more explanation needed
It's a long way from the ground
Getting out of this situation is hard
From the darkness into light
From the scary situation to a better one
Where the lies part from the truth
Where I can distinguish between what's real and what's not
Where you you'll see clear
Where things become clearer
There are no more voices to fear
There are no more scary voices to worry about
