1. Wizard is a German Power Metal band, formed in 1989 by the drummer Sören van Heek. The band was often called "Germany's answer to Manowar". On some albums the lyrics are about battles, metal, war and steel. The exception were the albums Odin, which is a concept album about Norse mythology, Goochan which is a fantasy story about a witch (written by Volker Leson and author William B. Nuke), Thor which is also about north mythology and ... of wariwulfs and bluotvarwes which is about vampires and werewolfs (written by Wizard and Andre Wiesler, German author).
Wizard played at Wacken Open Air 2002, Bang Your Head!!! 2002, Keep It True 2004, Dokk'em Open Air 2006, Magic Circle Festival 2009 and is in the 2012 line-up of Hammerfest IV. In 2003 longtime guitarist Michael Maass quit the band because of health problems. In 2006 the band left the label Limb Music after four albums and joined the somewhat bigger label Massacre Records with a new album in mind to be released in January 27, 2007, titled Goochan. On may 18th, 2007, Michael Maass returned to the band after a three-year break. The band's 2009 album Thor received a positive review from The Pit reviewer Frank Heise, who praised "The Visitor" as the best track on it.
The band's 2011 album ...Of Wariwulfs and Bluotvarwes received a positive review from SLUG Magazine reviewer Dylan Chadwick noting that "well trodden, and admittedly formulaic, it's a resoundingly competent platter of steel-willed, fist pounding heavy metal that'll satisfy the most voracious headbanger's hunger."
Forever
Wizard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a vale of dying stars
But I missed out on who you are
And a promise sometimes fades
And stars die every day
I thought I'd meet you one day
In a field, in wind and rain
But I noticed something is not the same
And stars have finite lives
And I missed out on the whole world according to you!
But that's okay; I'm not ashamed to be myself!
I thought I'd live forever
But a star must also die
And I missed out on all my life
The Wizard's song "Forever" centers around the idea of mortality and missed opportunities. The singer laments that they had always thought they would live forever along with the stars, but as they grow older they realize that this is not the case. The singer mourns for the things they have missed out on, including meeting someone special in a field during wind and rain. However, in the end, the singer comes to terms with their life, stating that they are not ashamed of who they are despite everything they have missed out on.
The lyrics of this song are powerful and thought-provoking. They remind us that life is short and that we should cherish every moment we have. The idea of missed opportunities is one that many people can relate to, and the message of acceptance, even in the face of regret, is a powerful one.

I thought I'd live forever
Believing that my existence will be eternal
In a vale of dying stars
In a space filled with dying celestial objects
But I missed out on who you are
But I failed to know your true identity
And a promise sometimes fades
And commitments can disappear at times
And stars die every day
Furthermore, stars collapse and perish daily
I thought I'd meet you one day
I had hopes of meeting you someday
In a field, in wind and rain
In an open area with a rough weather
But I noticed something is not the same
However, I detected that things are different
And a promise always dies
Commitments always come to an end
And stars have finite lives
Celestial objects have a limited duration of existence
And I missed out on the whole world according to you!
I've failed to witness the world from your perspective!
But that's okay; I'm not ashamed to be myself!
Nevertheless, I'm content being true to myself
I thought I'd live forever
I had the assumption that my existence was infinite
But a star must also die
However, just like a star, my life will come to an end too
And I missed out on all my life
And it feels like I didn't make the most out of my entire existence

This came out at the same time as I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday. He had two singles in the top ten at the same time over christmas 1974 .. Those were the days. Who would have imagined then that Roy's star would not have continued to shine that bright forever... So talented.
@mariapearce8617
Yes 1974
@davidmacgregor5193
@@mariapearce8617 Nope, it was 1973 when "Forever" was released, "Goin' Down the Road" was Woody's 1974 hit single.

Underrated genius of British popular music. And a massive heartbeat in everything he did
@michaelrck
Roy Wood is another one of those gems among the mire and so under rated and overlooked in his personal contribution to the british music scene it's criminal. When I die this track and California Man will be the perfect musical epitaff. Rock on Roy, God bless your genius
@MrMjp58
Everything he's ever written, sang or played on is filled wirh musical interest.
@derby1884
MrMjp58 Much of his music refers back to the 1956-1960 period in musical history.
@vincenthewlett4329
