Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while, Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies.....This song makes me realise how precious every minute living in this world is.
... hoping for the best but expecting the worst - are u gonna drop the bomb or not? ... LIVING in germany at that time this was an every day threat for nearly 40 years! And ALPHAVILLE are from Muenster, Germany - so they just expressed what young people had in mind with the cold war
It's hard to believe that it's been 30 years since the first cold war ended. We all had that storm cloud looming on the horizon in those years. The nuclear threat remains, but it hardly seems as real as it felt back then. As you said, Germany had it really rough, being split in two between NATO and the USSR. I was still a teenager when the Berlin Wall fell, but I still felt a palpable weight lift off my shoulders all the way from the United States. It seemed like if it was possible to reunite Germany without involving the bomb, world peace was no longer so far out of reach. I wish those feelings of post-cold war optimism had been able to last.
@@berniemargolis4288really interesting to hear this. I’ve always wondered more about how my grandmother had it before she flew to Sweden with her brother. She has only told me a little bit. I guess it might be one of those wounds that never really heal. She has told me things like how some days they only had a couple of potato peels to eat. Even though I live in a pretty ghetto area in Sweden, I could never imagine such poverty. Truly amazing how some people live trough that every day.
My dad just recently passed away, and we played this song for him. It was his favorite as well as mine. The lyrics “It’s so hard to get older without a cause, I don’t want to parish like a fading horse, youth is like diamonds in the the sun, and diamonds are forever, so many adventures didn’t happen today, so many songs we forgot to play” it brings me to tears. Good video guys.
there is a cause, to humble us. That is the purpose of our lives. To acknowledge we are nothing and we depend of Yahweh our God and He sent us His Messiah to receive eternal life. it is that simple and that crude.there is no other way to eternity.Pain and simple
The opening lyric, _"Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?"_ is a reference to the Cold War. At the time, the world came very, very close to nuclear war.
Sounds like a Melody, Big in Japan, Summer in Berlin, Victory of Love, Jet Set. etc etc etc. Their debut album Forever Young was the best Synth album of the 80s, from the 1st to the last track....
Well i put Speak & Spell, A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward , Black Celebration and Music for the masses before Forever Young as the best Synth albums
I remember when this song came on. Then we danced slowly and it felt like heaven became a part of me and my love.! How could we be forever young and love each other like then.! This song will forever be No.1 in my heart I love it forever.!😍🥰
Yeah I was 11years old when Forever Young by Alphaville came out. It's long been my favorite song. I love love your reaction to my favorite song. I love you guys.
Amazing song and loved your reaction! Another great song about the Cold War is Ultravox - "Dancing with tears in my eyes". The original video still breaks my heart after all these years. Please try it..
Welcome to GEN X. We lived our childhood under the Cold War threat of nuclear attack. This was our prom song in 1987. Live for today. I recommend Russians by Sting for another example and as a fitting tribute to Ukrainian people
Well yes, but those were the easy times where you knew who was friend of whom. We just had an American president siding with an Ex.KGB oligarch to destabilize Europe. To what end? maybe so he could have some more hotels in the Russian Federation. Not sure which time is more dfangerous
@@siriusforever by how you write I doubt your name is John Crighton. Moreover in this case there is an attacker and and a victim here and it is nit a matter of being lro USA, it is about being against criminals.
Loved your folks breakdown of lyrics. You appreciated and understood them for what that are! “Forever young but do you really want to live forever” hit hits hard thinking it
This is a signature song from the Cold War 80s when WWIII was one atomic launch away. There is a reason we had movies like Red Dawn and War Games. It was our reality.
Love this song! It's about the cold war, fearing that they will use the atomic bomb and destroy everything. Have you reacted to Winds of change by Scorpions? It's a beautiful song about the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the cold war.
I was never a big fan of this song but I heard it 1 day recently, And for some reason, it made me feel emotional about remembering the old days when life was better. And we had less responsibility. Old friends that I don't get to see anymore, etc...
You guys seem like you like synth pop or new wave. This is an untapped treasure trove imho. These songs are well known classics, which I would love to see you react to you if you haven’t already. “Policy of truth” by Depeche Mode “Space-age love song” by flock of seagulls “I melt with you” by modern English “Don’t you forget about me” by simple minds “Tenderness” by general public “Bizarre love triangle” by new order
Truly another unforgettable song I grew up with in the 80s. I feel the lyrics can be a bit confusing when they sing "I wanna live forever young. Do you really wanna live forever?" The way I interpret this is that if you want to live forever, then hope your view on the world will always be like a child, where everything is new and exciting. Living forever would be torture if not, since you would soon get bored after you have experienced everything.
Dios mio que hago cada ves que veo este video me pongo a llorar siento que sufre porque su letra va acorde a mi vida,bendiciones a este joven que Dios le dio ETA voz angelical❤
Hi Shawn and Mell, i really enjoyed your reaction here! This is one of 'the most powerful songs', the other one is the 'Earth Song' by Michael Jackson which brought you to tears during your reaction to it. Keep the reactions coming guys 👍 😊
The message I always took from the song was if you could live forever would you want to see the world in say a couple hundred years with how destructive we have been? The other thing the song touches on is if you were to live forever just think of the loved ones you would have to witness dying and getting sick. When I lost my grandmother it nearly killed me. 16 yrs ago this fall my granny blacked out behind the wheel of my car returning from a chemo appointment. I never got over it and it changed me as a person.
Alphaville are for me are in the top five of groups ever .. amazing artists full of amazing music and style,i am surprised that people didn't now them it's like you don't now led Zeppelin
As a young teen in the 80s the lyrics sunk in deep. Now in my 50s. I cry every time I hear this song with mixed feeling of joy and sorrow at the same time. The joy of feeling like a teen but the sorrow of reality sinks in the fact that the curtain will be closed soon and the show will be over for me.
I remember this song as a teen in the 1980's and I weep for what will be left behind when I kick (especailly after watching things like Jan 6) because I realize that after all that our generation has been through (the cold war, AIDS, 911) that people that are older have not learned a GD thing and X and Y does not give a shit since they are too distracted with gaming or the insta crap on their iphones. Does that make me sound old? To quote the idiot that gave ideological birth to MAGA, You betcha!
Growing up during cold war. It encapsulates hope and fear. Maximise your life because it can end soon, and a rallying cry to the governments to either drop the bomb or end the war. But stop having people living in perpetual fear of dying now.

I was 20yrs old when the wall fell. I remember the younger ones dashing for that border while the older ones hung back in fear.

the song that makes you realize that every moment of life is precious
They are a German band, used to love this song & still do to this day
😍🇩🇪👋
Words cannot describe how much I love this song
Is the BEST song
Agreed, same here.

I personally like the meaning of "dropping something" because it also includes the accidental drop when playing with - with life...
That is one of my favorite song - I will always sing this song.
I love this 80's hit.
Sounds like a Melody, Big in Japan, Summer in Berlin, Victory of Love, Jet Set. etc etc etc. Their debut album Forever Young was the best Synth album of the 80s, from the 1st to the last track....
i think for all times.
An absolute classic -- that album honestly changed my life!
Well i put Speak & Spell, A Broken Frame, Construction Time Again, Some Great Reward , Black Celebration and Music for the masses before Forever Young as the best Synth albums
Upstairs At Erics, The Circus, Architecture And Morality, Computer World, Vienna, many great 80s synth albums out there lol.
I remember when this song came on. Then we danced slowly and it felt like heaven became a part of me and my love.!
How could we be forever young and love each other like then.!
This song will forever be No.1 in my heart
I love it forever.!😍🥰
Makes me miss my youth
me too
My favorite line, "Can you imagine when this race is won? Turn our golden faces in to the sun.
Classic song. It was released when I was a junior in high school 1984-85. Good Times!
One of my favorite songs,Ty for reaching to it.
One of mine as well. Have you ever heard this version by BlutEngel (Blood Angel) it's brilliant. ruclips.net/video/7sqyw_oyWFE/видео.html
one of my favorite 80's song, forever young by alphaville
"Big in Japan" is another cool Song of Alphaville
ALPHAVILLE is my favorite band. Still releasing albums!
Mine too! I just wish they got more attention again, they deserve it
This song is so BEAUTIFUL!
Só quem viveu os anos 80 em matéria de música sabe como foram tempos bons👍🏼🇧🇷
Fomos MUITO privilegiados !! 👍🏻🙂
I think this song is about the resurrection and going to heaven where we will live forever young.
I know I'll be there
Great song! Their song Big in Japan is also amazing!
the dance remix of alphaville forever young is awesome
You guys are absolutely awesome keep up the good work I am from Germany and Alphaville is one of the greatest groups ever
This was my graduation song in 1985, growing up in Germany
Yeah I was 11years old when Forever Young by Alphaville came out. It's long been my favorite song. I love love your reaction to my favorite song. I love you guys.

Thus is one where, sometimes, I will listen 20 times 8n a row and get chills every time
I've been waiting forever for you guys to hear this one!! The cold war was a scary time for lots of people in the world
It was!
I remember being pretty scared as a kid.
@@Irisnietnodiggg99 Yes, especially every time when the extremely loud jets came almost 10m above our houses for exercise...

@@thecaptain2000 very indoctrinated pro-amercan here. Russia is good guys, wake up and stop the "news".

My son picked this for our mother/son dance at his wedding. Makes me emotional every time I hear it. Also loved it in Napoleon Dynamite.
love the 80's. I was a kid when this came out ,and I loved it since day one.
This song has magic...makes you feel young ....
One of my favorite songs ever!
Beautiful song an reaction!
One of my childood songs fromnthe 80s
Bless
I remember when this song came out I was a teen and now I listen to it in my 50’s it hits different
My favourite song ever
Groupe sympa belle musique à vous donner le frisson et très bien chanter. Jean Paul de France
Loved your folks breakdown of lyrics. You appreciated and understood them for what that are! “Forever young but do you really want to live forever” hit hits hard thinking it
The lyrics remind you to be young at heart all the time :)
Bela canção....saudade dos anos 80
This is a signature song from the Cold War 80s when WWIII was one atomic launch away. There is a reason we had movies like Red Dawn and War Games. It was our reality.
It still is. We are very close to ww3 right now. Very close....
Love this song! It's about the cold war, fearing that they will use the atomic bomb and destroy everything. Have you reacted to Winds of change by Scorpions? It's a beautiful song about the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the cold war.
Yes at 64 it is sad❤️🤘so many songs we forgot to play
I was never a big fan of this song but I heard it 1 day recently, And for some reason, it made me feel emotional about remembering the old days when life was better.
And we had less responsibility. Old friends that I don't get to see anymore, etc...
Wonderful reaction, super big hugs from Sweden. This song I had in my walkman 😅 in seventh grade and I loved it.
Ahhh this takes me back ✌💗🇬🇧
Ora mi è venuta voglia di andare ad ascoltare "Sound Like A Melody"♥️
Forever young that's my favorite song bc the memories
i had forgotten this song. I bought it in the 80s. Great song though sad in one sense but then again its just life.
Alphaville's other big hit is Big in Japan. Limahl's Neverending Story has similar vibes as Forever Young.
Neverending Story...a Giorgio Moroder masterpiece!
Really appreciate these lyrics now that I’m older.
You guys seem like you like synth pop or new wave. This is an untapped treasure trove imho. These songs are well known classics, which I would love to see you react to you if you haven’t already.
“Policy of truth” by Depeche Mode
“Space-age love song” by flock of seagulls
“I melt with you” by modern English
“Don’t you forget about me” by simple minds
“Tenderness” by general public
“Bizarre love triangle” by new order
Bons tempos!!! Essa canção toca no coração de muito gente
One of THE great 80s songs. Those lyrics, WOW!

Lovely and heartbreaking at the same time. It is life.
This song encapsulates what it felt like being alive during the cold war.

Alphaville's first album is like gold to me. Not a bad song on it.
Frankly Mr. Shankly I agree 😊

Great reaction. Greetings from Germany.
The Demo Version of this Masterpiece was recorded in the hallway and the bedroom of Bernhard Lloyd, one of the piano players.
You also have to react to "Big In Japan" by Alphaville, one of their biggest hits.
Nice reaction. This song always reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite
