There’s nothing he can’t sing 🎤 his voice takes me away! I just saw them in June, I love this song so much, but Danny it’ll always be your song, sleep well my little mate, I miss you more than you will ever understand ♥️
@@celesteamberbagley3996 Well, no one will be able to reach that. Ever. It's his song and it's timeless. And, to be honest, if you cover it as a studio recording, I think it is better to make something different out of it. Like this one (which I really like): ruclips.net/video/0GmuSO0rJ3Y/видео.html
I was there as a 15 Years old Teen. It was amazing. I´m so happy that my parents allowed me to go to one of the biggest Festivals in Germany. Thank you Mom & dad for this. :-*
My absolute favorite cover of any song EVER. I wish they would drop a full version of this, or even sing the whole version during a concert. Brandon's voice was made for this ⚡
My favourite song as I’ve aged. Watched it a thousand times on RUclips by the amazing Alphaville. Great to hear another version by one of my favourite bands of all time
Loved Alphaville and love this cover, from a period in history when all we wanted to do was party, in case someone flipped a switch and blew us all away in some nuclear armageddon. Underrated band.
Shows that great songs, like great stories, stand the test of time. They can be reinterpreted and retold and still retain their fundamental greatness :)
As a huge Alphaville fan, when I was in a shop one day I heard a song on the radio and thought "is that Marian Gold singing? I don't recognise the song!" (Marian is Alphaville's lead singer). It turned out to be Brandon with his song "Only the Young" and from that moment, The Killers and also Brandon's solo stuff joined the ranks with Alphaville as my most favourite bands ever. Hearing the Killers play this is ... just an emotional experience, like a coming-together of something that was simply meant to be. If you're a Killers fan, go listen to Alphaville. As a band, they're still going strong today and are the biggest inspiration to my own music.
I love both The Killers and Imagine Dragons. But as I grew up with this song I have to say The Killers version touches my soul. It was sung in the melancholic voice and with raw emotion which is the soul of this song.
This is by far and away the best cover! He just nails everything about the song. I love Alphaville, and obviously this song is iconic, but this one is almost as amazing ❤️
Whoa, the way he sings 'forever' at 01:24 in a natural vibrato is just......Pfff! It's in the details, guys! The Killers are all about the details! That's the magic! And we all feel it.
Dude.. I remember this. I was there. Well, actually not at Rock am Ring. But at Rock im Park and the crowd there was WAY better. Brandon started the song and stopped after "Forever Young", because the crowd was so loud. That was so amazing and I still get goosebumps, when I remember that evening.
because it is the same two chords, Aminor Gmajor in the same quick succession... in fact the whole songs' chord progression is very close to Don't Look Back in Anger in general
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best but expecting the worst Are you gonna drop the bomb or not? Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad men Can you imagine when this race is won Turn our golden faces into the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the, the mad men Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever? Forever young Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later, they all will be gone Why don't they stay young? It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever So many adventures couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue We let them come true Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever? Forever young, I want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever?
Another great cover by the Killers. In fact, this could be the best if the lot. Can't understand for the life of me the few thumb down votes. (Those ppl should get a hearing test asap)
Nothing wrong with showing a bit of class.... the Killers have always been able to pay respect to those that lit the path, nice to see they tip the hat to a great tune of old....
Coolest part about this song is that the lyrics alone could have been written by Brandon. It deals with the same messages/themes. E.g. living forever, existential themes
Killers need an entire album of all their 80s/90s covers together
The killers probably wrote most of the 80s hits as babies
If they do it, they have to include 'Forgotten Years' (Midnight Oil). They absolutely nailed it in 2017 at the MCG in Melbourne.
Call it "Copycat"
There’s nothing he can’t sing 🎤 his voice takes me away! I just saw them in June, I love this song so much, but Danny it’ll always be your song, sleep well my little mate, I miss you more than you will ever understand ♥️
We should start signing a petition
Goosebumps for this lifelong Alphaville fan. No one does better covers.
Brandons voice got soul. It's just perfect.
This shuld have been dropped as a 'secret track'. Brandon's got the perfect voice for this song.
Exactly
Brandon's got the perfect voice for every song
I'm not a big fan of The Killers. But you are absolutely right, he has the perfect voice for this song! They should do a studio recording of it.
Sorry but it will always be Marian Golds voice for me.

Holy Snickers!! Spirit of Algorithm what did you make me stumble over? Brandon Flowers singing Forever Young!
I'll sleep with a smile for now :)
I was there as a 15 Years old Teen. It was amazing. I´m so happy that my parents allowed me to go to one of the biggest Festivals in Germany. Thank you Mom & dad for this. :-*
the way he says "the madman" is really touching...
That got me too, @ about 1:10 - glad that it wasn't just me!!
Same.
Same here, dude can really make good rhythm
Epic and amazing cover. Much respect and love to Alphaville.
My absolute favorite cover of any song EVER. I wish they would drop a full version of this, or even sing the whole version during a concert. Brandon's voice was made for this ⚡
give imagine dragons live in Argentina a listen....it's close!😊

Every video I see from The Killers, make me think they are an unique band. Love the way they conect with the people. and Brandon is a genious.
been in bands my entire life, im 30. Just NOW gave the Killers a shot. gonna be looking for some vinyl after tonight.
oh wow! what a surprise discovery today. i cannot imagine a better band to cover this. what a perfect fit!
Shows that great songs, like great stories, stand the test of time. They can be reinterpreted and retold and still retain their fundamental greatness :)
They should do a studio version.
I agree
I agree with you... Do the studio version please... 🙏🙏🙏😎😎😎😎😎
So true
Please!!!
Yes, totally Agee with you!

Dig this cover. Studio version please.
Damn Brandon Flowers. You kill me with the voice!
Wow that was amazing, I wish they had a full version out, incredible voice for the song
yeah the killers definitely murdered the song! A song as beautiful as this could never be played and sung with such carelessness!!!!!
He has such a beautiful voice. Xx

Imagine Dragons?? Wtf do they have to do with this song? Did the slander it? I really don't wanna know
ID did a phantastic live cover of 'Forever young' in Sao Paulo
Whoa, the way he sings 'forever' at 01:24 in a natural vibrato is just......Pfff! It's in the details, guys! The Killers are all about the details! That's the magic! And we all feel it.
There’s not a cover they can’t do absolutely fantastic
I am stunned I am just now hearing this cover. He is perfect.
Dude.. I remember this. I was there. Well, actually not at Rock am Ring. But at Rock im Park and the crowd there was WAY better. Brandon started the song and stopped after "Forever Young", because the crowd was so loud. That was so amazing and I still get goosebumps, when I remember that evening.
Moments like that touch greatness. Chills.
Wow He does have the perfect voice for this song WOW
Yes! Love Alphaville and The Killers. There’s always good music out there. Don’t stay stuck in your high school era.
It’s almost 2021 just discovered the Killers and Brandon can’t believe what I’ve been missing
What an amazing voice. Totally nailed this.
This song marked my life.
When the guitarist plays the opening riff the last chord change reminds me of Don't Look Back in Anger...
because it is the same two chords, Aminor Gmajor in the same quick succession... in fact the whole songs' chord progression is very close to Don't Look Back in Anger in general
great cover! one of my fave songs. Reminds me of the end of childhood.
This makes me cry literally every single time I hear it! Love this! Brandon just kills with this song!
Uno de los mejores temas de las lentas del ayer con uno de los mejores grupos de la actualidad
Love this!!! So much!! This is my favorite cover I’ve heard them do by far!!!
Such an underrated Band. The Killers have so much Talent
Need a complete version of this :(
This is my Senior year song! You'll be singing it to my class (1986)
Piece of art. Just amazing
All these comments going on about the vocals but that guitar cover is just speaking to me!
This is good The Aussie Youth Group cover of this song well takes you back in time
I love Brandons voice😭 Its so unique✨😇
Great cover! I'm feeling like I'm back in the 1980s when I grew up!
Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad men
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We let them come true
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever?
Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
These are the original Alphaville, enjoy
Gee, finally a simple chord version so a guitar playing chump like me can play it. There is hope yet
Hauntingly beautiful voice 👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶🌹🌹🌹
His voice sounds so good.
Youth is like a diamond in the sun
Beautiful 💙
Brawo dla Killers że doceniają wielkość tego zespołu Alphaville ❤
so good, I wish they did the entire song
2020...I love this, forever
Another great cover by the Killers. In fact, this could be the best if the lot. Can't understand for the life of me the few thumb down votes. (Those ppl should get a hearing test asap)
Maybe they think it's not long enough too!
Que buen tema, y que buena version... The Killers, unos kapos...
I want this played at my funeral.
I always tells to my friends the same!!!
Pura vida
His voice is so great....chills.
love this song and it just gets better sang by Brandon
Loved this song from alphaville the killers come a close second but only second
Whoever said youth is wasted on the young, never heard this song or watched this cover.
this song is so beautiful, can't believe the killers made a cover
He sings this great.
My boy my boy...G you will be forever young while all of us left behind grow old....
goosh this gives me goosebumps
I've been a fan since I can remember but it's only now I've discovered this cover
A truely God given gifted talent.
I love that crowd came to a Killers concert and sang Alphaville on the spot.
What a voice❤
Ohh My God, never expected to hear this cover. It's brilliant Brandon ❤️❤️
Very few Artist I listen to have this gift...I believe him. Freddy, Shane, Tom, Bruce, Bob.- Brandon
Damn... What a great version... Talk about putting your own particular stamp on a song....Brilliant...
Canción nostalgica por excelencia. Puro arte y no mierda como el reggeaton y otras basuras.
Best mv I've ever seen on RUclips love you the killers
I love you Brandon!!!
Napoleon Dynamite turned me on to this song. Being a die hard Killers fan brought me to their version.
Beautiful well done stay strong stay safe everyone stay strong stay safe sending love from headway Nottingham UK takecare xxx
Who does not wanna live forever & young???
FOREVER YOUNG ROCK TILL 70..
💪💪
This was one of my childhood songs... Thank you, guys!
Glad i found this.
This song reminds me of their song Human . When I heard it recently I thought it was this song .
I’m killin the replay button
Nothing wrong with showing a bit of class.... the Killers have always been able to pay respect to those that lit the path, nice to see they tip the hat to a great tune of old....
Brandon's voice is perfect for this song
What a great version
Goosebumps.
I demand a studio version.
That moves me to tears
Co ma w sobie ten utwór niezwykłego że takie gwiazdy próbują go wykonać jednak tylko Alphaville jest najlepszy i najbardziej ulubiony ❤
Coolest part about this song is that the lyrics alone could have been written by Brandon. It deals with the same messages/themes. E.g. living forever, existential themes
Greatest cover band.
Хороший кавер на легендарную песню!
that voice! ❤
Splendida Esibizione,Complimenti Al Gruppo Dei Killers,Ciao
