1. A band from Hanover, Germany.
2. An experimental artist from Detroit, Michigan.
3. A hardcore band from New Hampshire.
4. An alias of Robert Fleming, a multi-instrumentalist based in Los Angeles, California.
5. A band from Minneapolis.
6. An inactive solo project of Oliver Francis, a rapper-producer based in Columbia, Missouri.
1. Victory was formed in Hanover, Germany in 1984 from the remnants of the band Fargo. Apart from bass player Peter Knorn, there were two guitarists, Tommy Newton and John Lockton, as well as drummer Bernie Van of Graaf forming the group. After they originally worked with singer Pedro Schemm - after a small interlude with the later Thunderhead shouter Ted Pullit - the singer Charlie Huhn joined, who had formerly played with Gary Moore and Ted Nugent. By recommendation of Scorpions guitarist Rudolph Schenker the band was guided by David Krebs' (of Scorpions and Aerosmith fame ) management.
2. Victory’s music is a fusion between Soul music and Folk Music. She was raised in Detroit before moving to New Jersey at age twelve. Whether Victory is performing classics or original compositions, she has a way of tailoring each song with her voice and guitar to fit her unique style. Some people say that Victory is in the lane of Tracy Chapman, Roberta Flack, and Nina Simone. But beyond those three, Victory brings an entirely new youthful element to the music world, an indescribable spiritual depth mixed with her youthful interpretation of sound influencing her artistic expressions. Moreover, Victory colors a lot of her musical arrangements with rich jazz chords as she is rooted and grounded in Jazz tradition.
3. Victory is a hardcore band from southern New Hampshire. They were formed in 2005 and played together for two years. They recorded a demo of 2 songs with most notable song being "breaker". They got a big fan base following and played shows in the boston area as well as the local new hampshire venues. They later went onto record a 5 song ep. Right after being recorded the band broke up.
4. Victory is the music project of Los Angeles-based multi-instrumentalist Robert Fleming who produces new songs that are at once fresh, familiar and focused. ‘Demonstrations’ was the first offering from Victory, a 7-song EP self-released in September 2011 and his first full length is set to see the light in April 23rd, 2013. Victory crafts a sound that is both a throw-back to psychedelic 60′s British rock as well as an homage to today’s thriving independent music scene.
5. Victory hail from Minneapolis and are formed from ex-members of Eightysixed, Pist & Broke, Subversives and The Virgin Whores. The collective experience of the members fit together well and gives off a chemistry that reflects in the tightness of Victory’s sound. Victory delivers straight up American Oi! like a steel toe to the face. Victory’s hard edged sound is fueled by lyrics based on the experiences of afghan war veteran and front man Dan and the bands struggles with being working class in a crumbling economy. Very promising debut EP ''Laced Up'' contains four juicy street punk tracks and there’s no dead weight.
6. Victory is the now-inactive alias of Missouri-based rapper-producer Oliver Francis. Though self-described as a 'band,' it was a solo project in reality. Under the moniker, he released one full-length project titled 'I Don't Want This Anymore', before moving on to other musical endeavors.
Running Scared
Victory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changed feel that's your sanity
Your heart has been burned
And you've lost your way home
Black sky there's a memory
Long nights and the pain eats
You out of your mind
Sounds in the dark
Make you jump your eyes dart
It's breaking your heart
And it tears you apart
Innocent girl in a maniacs world
Of sleaze and abuse just a body to use
You might think it's odd
When push comes to shove
There's somebody here just for you
Running scared
But I'm there for you
I'll always be there just for you
Running scared
And you know what's done is done
I'll always be there just for you
Evil eyes of dirt desire
Wind up in a ring of fire
Lost what you found
Can't help loosing your ground
Stolen pride and identity
Another face on another street
With each turning tide
Something died deep inside
I heard you sigh like a baby you cried
You lay in my arms but could not be calmed
You talked to me of the agony
Of a hundred girls under satans keep
You can't find relief
'Cos the scars run so deep
You might think it's odd
When push comes to shove
There's somebody here just for you
Running scared
But I'm there for you
I'll always be there just for you
Running scared
And you know what's done is done
I'll always be there just for you
Running scared
But I'm there for you
I'll always be there just for you
Running scared
And you know what's done is done
I'll always be there just for you
The song "Running Scared" by Victory is a powerful anthem about being there for someone who is struggling in life. The lyrics speak of a person who has lost their way and is running scared from the demons that haunt them. The singer realizes that this person needs help and offers to be there for them, no matter what. The opening lines describe the strange things that the person is saying, and the changed feel that is their sanity slipping away. The singer acknowledges that this person's heart has been burned and they have lost their way home. The dark imagery of a black sky and long nights convey the pain that this person is feeling, and the world is described as unkind.
The chorus of the song is powerful and uplifting. The singer reassures the person that they are not alone and that they will always be there for them, no matter what. The verse builds on this theme, with the imagery of sounds in the dark, breaking the person's heart and tearing them apart. The second verse describes an innocent girl living in a maniac's world, where she is only seen as an object to be used. The person is running scared, but the singer is there for them, always. The final verse describes the person's stolen pride and lost identity, and the scars that run deep within them. Once again, the singer reassures them that they are not alone, and that they will always be there for them.
Overall, "Running Scared" is a powerful song about the need for human connection and support. The lyrics speak to the struggles that we all face in life, and the importance of having someone by our side to help us through the dark times.
Line by Line Meaning
Strange things that you say to me
The things you say are confusing and don't make sense to me
Changed feel that's your sanity
Your behavior seems different and it's making me question your mental state
Your heart has been burned
You've experienced intense emotional pain
And you've lost your way home
You feel lost and don't know where to go
Black sky there's a memory
The darkness around us is reminiscent of a past traumatic experience
Long nights and the pain eats
The pain you feel is constant and unrelenting
You out of your mind
It's driving you crazy
In a world so unkind
The world is cruel and unforgiving
Sounds in the dark
Noises in the darkness
Make you jump your eyes dart
It makes you nervous and anxious
It's breaking your heart
It's causing you emotional pain
And it tears you apart
It's destroying you from the inside out
Innocent girl in a maniacs world
A young woman living in a dangerous and abusive environment
Of sleaze and abuse just a body to use
Being objectified and mistreated by others
You might think it's odd
It may seem strange to you
When push comes to shove
When things get difficult
There's somebody here just for you
I'm here to support you
Running scared
Feeling afraid and vulnerable
But I'm there for you
I'm here to help you through it
And you know what's done is done
You can't change the past
I'll always be there just for you
I'll always be here to support you
Evil eyes of dirt desire
Someone with malicious intentions who desires to use and hurt others
Wind up in a ring of fire
End up in a dangerous and deadly situation
Lost what you found
Losing something precious that you worked hard to obtain
Can't help loosing your ground
Losing your stability and sense of security
Stolen pride and identity
Someone has taken away your sense of self-worth and individuality
Another face on another street
Feeling anonymous and alone
With each turning tide
With every change and challenge that comes
Something died deep inside
A part of you has been lost forever
I heard you sigh like a baby you cried
You cried and expressed your pain like a helpless infant
You lay in my arms but could not be calmed
Despite my efforts to comfort you, you remained upset
You talked to me of the agony
You shared with me the intense pain you're experiencing
Of a hundred girls under satans keep
The suffering of many women who are under the control of evil individuals
You can't find relief
You're unable to find comfort or peace of mind
'Cos the scars run so deep
Because the emotional wounds are so severe and have left a lasting impact

Canal Informativotfvz
El cantante presente es uno de los mas Grandes Cantantes de Metal en Alemania aunque no es tan super reconocido como Otros , combina potencia y gran rango vocal
Miguel Barahona
En este disco es Charlie Huhn, quien ha cantado con: Ted Nugent, Axel Rudi Pell, Foghat, Gary Moore, ¡tremendos nombres! es uno de los mejores vocalistas de la historia. 0:00 el segundo desde la derecha. Aunque Victory ha tenido otros magníficos vocalistas, Fernando García (alias el Toro Loco, español, un genio) y Iiotis Parcharidis (Human Fortress, Euroforce, otro que me gusta mucho).
