Arthur Clarkson absolutely, ive heard so many covers of this, he does it justice and he just uses a piano sound. It's as if his voice is the synth pads from the original version and it replaces them!
I like the way he gets maximum distance out of his vowels. For example the word ‘power’ where he sings ‘we don’t have the power’. It’s a very musical voice.
What you are hearing/seeing is the live recording. The piano is connected directly into Logic via MIDI and the vocals are being captured by the MXL2001 condenser mic.
---Lyrics--- 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 man Can you imagine when this race is won? Turn our golden the faces into the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the, the madman 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 given up today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue Oh let it 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 Forever young
Easily the best cover of this ive heard. Its hard to find true artist these days. But you my friend, your an artist and i love what you do. Dont ever stop.
+Kevin Laurence No problem. Will surely be on your page daily to take a listen. Rock on Homie and keep up the talent. Honeslty so glad i decided to listen to a piano man cover today and come across your channel. Your inspirational
Thank you so much!I couldn't stop crying...You are very talented,I wish I could play the piano like you...and your singing is beautiful...Thanks and good luck!
IMO, this is a tricky song to cover. It is such a great song that it is hard to mess up.... but it is also such a great song that it is not easy to do it the justice it deserves. You sir, did it right. I hope you never stop making music.
You have the best covers man. The piano sounds so good and your singing is good. I use to play piano. Not as good as you but was ok. I'm ending my life soon. I'm so tired. Just want you to know your covers have been my favorite
Hi Kevin - I enjoyed this very much. I did a (crappy) version of this song on my Fostex 4-Track cassette deck, using a Korg DSS-1 as the synth (which I still have). The 'high energy' version of this Alphaville song played this morning from my 'wakeup mix' MP3's, where I decided I would re-visit and re-do the cover I did years ago -- and then I see this from you, and it comes full circle. Beautiful playing and vocals. Bravo. I will check out your iTunes content as well. - Alfred

I was looking through the comments and i was like "mehh whats gonna be so great about this" but then you started singing and it blew my mind! This is incredibly AMAZING!!!
Mit viel Herz singt Kevin Laurence!
Finally a good cover for this song
His voice is actually soothing and soft but crisp at the same time, anyone agree?
Arthur Clarkson absolutely, ive heard so many covers of this, he does it justice and he just uses a piano sound. It's as if his voice is the synth pads from the original version and it replaces them!
for sure man, couldn't agree more
Yup,yup,yup!
I like the way he gets maximum distance out of his vowels. For example the word ‘power’ where he sings ‘we don’t have the power’. It’s a very musical voice.

one of the best covers that I ever watched!!!!!!!
Came for "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", stayed for "Forever Young." You, sir, are amazing. Keep singing.
I finally found it. The most underrated youtube channel of all.
