February 15, 2024 As a 50 year old man, this kinda brings a tear to my eye. Because I squandered so many opportunites. Along with dumb decisions in the name of fun. The saddest part is friends you didn't know you would see for the last time. And places. people, events, and experiences you had. Along with the pure enjoyment of just life in general. As I listen to this song and write this, I'm thinking of the good times and bad. Knowing I will never ever experience those again. Knowing the last time I truly enjoyed life was in the 90s, even tho this timeless song is from the 80s. So as I'm completely tear up, I hope you enjoy the short time we have left.
Fantastic comment, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. It helps bring some good perspective to someone who’s still young. I’m 21 and it already feels as I’ve missed good opportunities, but am blessed to have had an opportunity. God bless
@@woklab159 Thank you! I highly suggest you go and travel. Make friends of different social, ethnic, and other backgrounds. Trust me, you won't regret it. Because of my age, I have very little time to revisit those times. However, I can get a little piece of it. Enjoy every moment and spread positive vibes everywhere you go.
Finnish pop singer Aleksandr "Sammy" Babitzin died in a car accident at the age of 24 and he is my favorite singer and it is sad that he died young in a car accident Sammy Babitzin (July 11, 1948 Helsinki - April 29, 1973 Central Finland Hospital, Jyväskylä)
I don't mind to perish like a fleeing horse. I'm not so sure my knees are up to it. And then there's the next 100 years I'll have to think of the knees, too 🙂
23 then, 63 now, I wish to be forever young. 40 years gone in the blink of a song. Make it count people. I felt I had to answer some replies, as people seem to misunderstood my meaning. I had friends die 40 years ago, they never had a chance to make it count. I will sign off. Thank you all. Liam
I first listened to this song as a kid (born 1999) and liked the song but didn’t fully understand the meaning/feeling. I just turned 25 and this is a nice reminder to make the rest of my life, the best life. We only have one life, why not make it count.
Let’s make it count dude. I’m turning 29 in 5 days and my 1st child will be 8 months in 11 days. Life has been amazing and terrible but I’m so glad to be here still today. Let’s make the rest of this time count
I'm 39 going on 40. The song put me to tears because of how beautiful it was. Not only did it bring a wave of nostalgia, but got me to realize the inevitability of aging.
In 1984 I was 20 and now I'm 60. That song was already beautiful then but means so much more now. It is an absolute anthem to my life and all those of my generation. Thank you.
this brings a "tear" to my eye, I was 25 in 1980, still lived with my parents, had a hassle free job in the next town, It all seems so far away now doesn,t it? no "mobile phones", no "social media", no problems, everyone knew everyone in your village, no real crime to speak of, i,de come home from work, have my tea, and pop down the local for a game of pool and a pint with my friends without a care in the world! hear "wonderful tunes "like this all night,and everyone was happy! then walk home "safe in the knowledge that even though it was dark, no one would mug me for want of a five pound note! being 68 and retired now has it,s advantages, I know how "magical those days were like so many of us,we definatly saw the best of britain, so different to today! this is why this song brings a tear not of sadness but remembering all those wonderful years of carefreeness and joy, no,one can take those days away from us born in the 50,s I ,like so many of us will stay" forever young" if only in our dreams,XXX
I love it when people from your generation reminisce of the good times. My grandma for example likes to talk about how she went to college in the 60’s, worked 20 hours at a part time job, and made enough money from that for a HOUSE in 1960. Life was so easy back then it’s ludicrous. I’m the same age she was and I go to school, work 50 hours a week on top of that between two jobs to afford one bedroom of a house that I have to share with 3 other people, and forget saving money. You really were lucky to grow up when you did because everything is fucked now.
I was 20 in 84 when this song came out. I had just graduated high school the year before, and headed to college. .My father had died 10 years earlier when he was 36. My life was just ahead of me. I will turn 60 tomorrow.
Happy advanced Birthday! I hope you enjoyed those years before and that you'll enjoy your birthday. Age is just a number; all of us will stay "Forever Young"!
@wordnerd2005 That's so good to hear. Very proud of you. I went through the sobriety issues as well. Glad to say I too am sober today, but not before putting myself, and others through Hell before. As long as you can learn from your mistakes, it's well worth the effort of not quitting, or giving up before it finally takes.
The vocals on this song are absolutely flawless. He doesn't even use vibrato. Just a clear, clean voice reaching higher and higher effortlessly. The whole album is a masterpiece, right up there with Upstairs at Eric's as one of the very best synth pop albums. I was maybe 12 when I first listened to it and it still gives me chills.
Lagu ini di nyanyikan hari ini di Majlis Apresiasi Tahun 6 oleh murid dari Sek Kebangsaan AU Keramat..terbaik kpd murid yg boleh nyanyi lagu ini dengan baik..
This still brings tears to my eyes, when I hear it again.Some of my high school friends have passed away at the age of 45. I think about all the times,we spent hanging out. When ,you are young you think the t will always be this way.I wish ,I could tell them how much ,I miss and appreciate them.
My dad die 7 days ago, this is his favorite song, he died at 55 years, he's always in my heart... I can't continue with my life without him.... But this song was played everyday until he died, Roberto, you're always in my heart, forever, and we never forget you, you're the biggest angel in the sky, heaven can't wait, but god needs you more than me here on the earth. I promise you everything, and one day we become together at paradise. I give you a hug, and i'm going to be with you the rest of the eternity. In heaven....
Consolences. I can remember when my father died at 60. I was 26 and it was tough. It may seem impossible now, but take heart. Others have gone thru this and come out fine on the other end.
This song is wonderful. Alphaville talk about how time flies and about people that died at a young age and will stay forever young. The song also relates about those who don't want to die or to get old. I found that's fantastic that the singers talked about such a deep subject in a catchy, peaceful yet powerful song. You have to listen to this at least once in your life !
At my high school, this was our class song in 1988. I will never forget the entire senior class dancing to this when it was played as the last song at our prom. Time flies.
@@jasonharrington2106 was there an actual movie with "Forever Young" as the theme song? If so which was it? I'd love to see it - take a walk down memory lane maybe!
Right! I was an adult in the 90s. To me, it was the last time period when everybody got along. Now, nothing makes sense. I don't see things getting better. So if there us reincarnation, I want to be born in the 70s, so I can live this great time period again.
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80s, and I think the version performed by the late Laura Branigan is also great. The atmosphere it creates is truly unique; it both makes you happy and gives you a deep sense of melancholy. It reminds me that eternal life is impossible and the decision to die young is a painful and heartbreaking choice. It beautifully conveys the bittersweet essence of youth and the fleeting nature of time. I wish we could stay young forever. In the past, people who are no longer with us listened to this song when it first came out, and they thought just like us. But now, they are no longer here. We have these same thoughts, and future generations will think the same. It's wonderful that this song remains here. Because music transcends time, carrying our emotions and thoughts through generations. 'Forever Young' is not just a song, but a symbol of the quest for youth and immortality. This song takes every listener on a journey through time, connecting the past, present, and future. That's why, thank you to Alphaville for creating such a valuable piece.
When i was little, my mom used to clean the house listening to 80s. When i grew up, i lost a friend in Iraq when i was enlisted and the jayz version was out. Now as a 40 year old, i understand every word of this song. for me its about dying young, about knowing how precious life is, about young years and remembering them old, how fast it goes, the end us inevitable but one thing is for sure, they were here. We were here. My friends are frozen in my mind as young soldier's as i grow old.
"Forever Young" by Alphaville is a timeless and emotionally resonant song that captures the essence of the synth-pop era. With its hopeful and universal message, Marian Gold's evocative vocals, and the captivating synth-pop arrangement, the song continues to inspire and uplift listeners worldwide. Its enduring popularity and cultural significance make it a true classic in the realm of '80s music.
Reminds me of the Cars from the 80’s. The message and voice. The video also makes me feel like I am there also. Superbly done. Great song and great memories.
i know how you feel... listening to this at 1:30AM...everytime... tears just flow and flow... to live is to suffer right... to survive is to find meaning as Viktor Frankl says... sending my love and hugs... there is no pain like losing a child... it simply is just unbearable.
This song defines 80s nostalgia. A timeless classic. Just proud that I was one of the millions of teenagers around the world who got to enjoy great music from the 80s during the 80s.
Lost my beloved wife a year and a half ago. Just a couple weeks before her 65th birthday. This song really stirred up some great memories. Haven't heard it for about 40 years.
My dad in 2020: He always played with me and younger sister… My dad now in 2024: He is a little bit playing with us… I am litterally crying right now💔😢
My sister passed away at 25. She will always be forever young. This song makes me cry in her memory. Forever young angel, fly high, follow the light, it’s okay. Rest in peace.
@@MilltaryEnjoyer Hummm you don't know about the cuban nukes missiles crisis from the 60 right?Even though,best of musical Era are the 80.And I know every decade has its own great artists.
Back in '84 I was 21 and I only had fun, no worries, very busy chasing girls and listened with a big smile these songs. Now I,m 59 lost my wife 9 months ago and I can only cry when I hear this beautiful song, god bless her, love you honey.
@conta temporaria Hi Conta, you are beautiful too! so many adventures could happen today, so many song we forgot to play. So many dream out of the blue, will you let them come true?
Dying is easy... watching those you love/that love you die while you live on is a horror that never ends....they are there, still....most forever young... and i still miss them so much...still there in the 80's forever young.
My mom used to sing this to me and when she would sing the "you have the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen" she would look at me and sing it with a smile. I just remember her looking at me like i was just the best thing in the world and feeling warm and dipped in love for my mommy. This song came on the radio the other day and i was in the car with my daughter. I told my daughter (4) how my mom would sing it to me and it was my special song and now I'm gonna sing it to her and it will be hers. Then I sang that part to her just like my mom did and it was so sweet, she got all teary and held my hand while I sang the rest of it to her.
Dude that's so sweet , life really is so short and precious, reading that made me tear me 😢❤️ with love man. Creating children is wat life is about, because you never know when your end is near..... ❤️
@@charlesnorwich5932 Quem dera, mas esta não é a vontade do Criador...😇🥺 Quando, porém, veio Cristo como sumo sacerdote dos bens já realizados, mediante o maior e mais perfeito tabernáculo, não feito por mãos, quer dizer, não desta criação, não por meio de sangue de bodes e de bezerros, mas pelo seu próprio sangue, entrou no Santo dos Santos, uma vez por todas, tendo obtido eterna redenção. Portanto, se o sangue de bodes e de touros e a cinza de uma novilha, aspergidos sobre os contaminados, os santificam, quanto à purificação da carne, muito mais o sangue de Cristo, que, pelo Espírito eterno, a si mesmo se ofereceu sem mácula a Deus, purificará a nossa consciência de obras mortas, para servirmos ao Deus vivo! Por isso mesmo, ele é o Mediador da nova aliança, a fim de que, intervindo a morte para remissão das transgressões que havia sob a primeira aliança, recebam a promessa da eterna herança aqueles que têm sido chamados. Porque, onde há testamento, é necessário que intervenha a morte do testador; pois um testamento só é confirmado no caso de mortos; visto que de maneira nenhuma tem força de lei enquanto vive o testador. Pelo que nem a primeira aliança foi sancionada sem sangue; porque, havendo Moisés proclamado todos os mandamentos segundo a lei a todo o povo, tomou o sangue dos bezerros e dos bodes, com água, e lã tinta de escarlate, e hissopo e aspergiu não só o próprio livro, como também sobre todo o povo, dizendo: Este é o sangue da aliança, a qual Deus prescreveu para vós outros. Igualmente também aspergiu com sangue o tabernáculo e todos os utensílios do serviço sagrado. Com efeito, quase todas as coisas, segundo a lei, se purificam com sangue; e, sem derramamento de sangue, não há remissão. Era necessário, portanto, que as figuras das coisas que se acham nos céus se purificassem com tais sacrifícios, mas as próprias coisas celestiais, com sacrifícios a eles superiores. Porque Cristo não entrou em santuário feito por mãos, figura do verdadeiro, porém no mesmo céu, para comparecer, agora, por nós, diante de Deus; nem ainda para se oferecer a si mesmo muitas vezes, como o sumo sacerdote cada ano entra no Santo dos Santos com sangue alheio. Hebreus 9:11-28
I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't sure if I was feeling better or worse by listening to it. It gave me a weird nostalgic feeling. I'm really sickened by getting old, but here it is. If you have been wanting to do something, do it before you die. It could be coming for you. Good luck my friends.
I love this song very much. I was 19 years old when it was released, and now I am 59 years old and I still enjoy listening to it. The lyrics, melody and singing have a sincere feeling. Alphaville is still my favorite band. Also, when Dr. Hudson and Jay Z sang it again, it was amazing ❤ I’m from Egypt 🇪🇬
Os compositores brasileiros regravam muitas músicas internacionais, colocam em português e mudam o ritmo e faz muito sucesso essas músicas ficam estouradas em todas as rádios do país.

This song 🎵 is played at most highschool dances back in the day. It was played at my senior prom in 1995. Heard it in the store while shopping the other day, brought tears to my eyes😢Time flies way too quick. Blink and 47 years old.
You seem like a very nice person Suzette! I am turning 50, so yah I am starting to get very weapy myself! Life passes do quickly. My grad them song in 1993 was Michael W Smith's MY PLACE IN THIS WORLD! And I sang at Grad! Hearing it played now is very difficult!
@@timothyolfrey Thanks for sharing. That's so nice that you were able to sing that. The weepiness does happen more often thee day for sure. But, to me it happens when ever I'm walking through a store and old song from those years comes on. And my eyes just burst🤣 Then Forget what i was shopping for, HA! The 90s were a great time to be in Highschool.
Essa música me dá uma dor tão forte no peito, de prazer saudade da minha infância ,época que tinha minha família por perto e meu pai ainda entre nois❤😭
Pag narinig ko to parang feeling ko may hindi pa ako nagawa sa mga lumipas na panahon yong mga maling nagawa gusto kung maitama. ..kahit mga simpleng mali lang😢😢😢
I’m 78 now. This music is new to me. I’m somewhat surprised that I don’t remember ever hearing it before? It makes me reflect back upon the previous seven decades.
Make a big deal out of every event in your life. All the landmarks, even the small ones. Sear them in your brain because you're very correct...it goes by in a flash. Only yesterday I was teaching my baby son to walk (he's 28 now), and the day before I brought my daughter home from the hospital, a nervous new dad scared to death he'd have an accident and hurt his little angel (she's 31 now). At 54 (I was a idealistic teen when this song came out and I remember it like yesterday, feeling I'd never grow old) I've learned to live and love every event because literally every day could be the very last one. I look at my 3 year old grandson and think, if I could just go back and do it all over again. But the secret to staying forever young...you do want to know the secret don't you?...is the "you" that you leave in people's memories. You will be forever young every time they remember you, and they will talk about how you did this or that, and smile.
I’m 58 years old and it seems like yesterday I was 28. Life is a profound gift that is very short, don’t waste it worrying. Smile and just be happy to be alive. 🙏🙂
The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns. In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are: 666 devil horns one eye tongue showing aka mocking. The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
Quite an interesting place considering Cold War History, thinking of Enver Hoxha and his fetish like obsession with little concrete bunkers, i'm planning a visit for next year to see for myself
In 1999 I was 21. Today 2024 I’m 46. Time flies and before you know it it’s gone. It’s true! Just be happy enjoy your life in the moment, be yourself and live to your fullest. For this reason you were created.
I just used to listen to this song when my mom listened to it and she loved it now that it been a while I realise this song has a deeper meaning and I just never realised but I like the song now ,it truly is wonderful
Essa música me deixa triste mas aí mesmo tempo me mostra que devemos aproveitar e viver a vida. A vida é o bem mais precioso que temos. Abrace e beije seus pais, amigos, filhos, esposas.... É disso que eles se lembrarão quando você não estiver mais aqui! 😭 Beijos e abraços do 🇧🇷
The sad part isn’t growing up, it’s the innocence that we lose through out the years. That’s what I miss the most; the days of innocence and ignorantly enjoying life without a worry. Make the most of your life guys, learn to love, communicate and have meaningful relationships. That’s what it’s all about! I really miss the 80s...wish to have a time machine and return to those beloved days....peace and love to everyone!!
Never a truer word spoken, the 80s are gone but live on in those that lived it, all we need is a flux capacitor and to be travelling at 88mph and we can go back
I thought i was the only one who just wanted to be forever young at your age. When i was 16, i had the same mentality. Even younger. I felt like i wouldn’t be able to enjoy those adolescence moments any more than in the future, when we finally grew up. I was the only kid who never wanted to grow up. Today I’m 21 and now this makes more sense than ever. Take advantage of the moments you live at that age, the things you do with your friends at your age, how easy life is with hardly any responsibilities... I would die to be 16 again and relive all of that one more time.
Make that count. There's a lot to enjoy in watching (even helping) other people enjoy their lives. I was at a uni graduation ceremony with my nephew graduating. All those young boys and girls looking forward to life and looking to me for guidance was totally beautiful.
@@fairydust-ky4oc you might consider at least, taking vit D and iron. I am 70. In my experience - had some long spells of feeling 'elsewhere'...once asked a gp pal who explained our body's reaction to that affects our decisions and feelings and to 'give it a go'. (More to this than I can explain here) i felt enormous changes when i took some extra minerals for sure
I think i have developed a supernatural power of recognising 80's music. I am 30 years old as of now (born 1993) & an ardent fan of 80's. This song was on air at the local supermarket I shopped in Sri Lanka & I instantly "shazam'ed" it. In love with this masterpiece forever ❤
Methinks part of the song's message was about the Cold War and the uncertainty of human life's continuity then, hence...only watching the skies...always hoping for the best but expecting the worst...
And those of us that were already grown up that spent the entire 80's decade in their 20's like I did were very blessed. I turned 20 in 1980 and 30 in 1990, and what a fun decade that was. Grown up with a job, my own money to spend on concerts, going clubbing and buy great designer clothes (although I could do without the shoulder pads). I grew up in the 60 and 70 and graduated high school in 79 but my life didn't really start until I grew up and what a great decade to take on the world. I miss the 80's so much. The 90's was my decade in having babies and raising them and pretty much watched Disney and Barney for 10 years lol.
You were indeed blessed. I was young in the Seventies which was amazing. But your era saw great music and great TV. I wouldn't give a fig for this 2020s crappy era.
This song makes me cry like a young child! I’m scared of growing old but I know it’s a blessing to live into old age. My dad died at 33! He was murdered.
This song was released during my second year in the Marines, I'm now 58. Eventually, we realize how precious those youthful days were and must accept aging......😒😒😒
Imagine how Amazing it must feel to have written a song that stands the test of time for 40 years. That people walk around to this very day singing to themselves. This song is one of those. I would say 90% of the songs that never get old with us are from the 80s. I truly magical decade in music. One I am blessed to have grown up in.❤🎶🎵
What a very insightful comment and in many respects I'd go along with that sentiment, although I do believe there are many songs that last from many other eras, certainly 80s songs seem to summon up most nostalgia and incredible love ...and from todays young too! Look at how many are switching on Radio stations like Boom, Absolute, Smooth, Greatest Hits etc! And switching OFF Radio 1 and 2!
@@jostsomuan8012 I'll be sure to do that! I know I will look back at being this age in the future, but it doesn't feel too special right now. I'll try to do as much as possible with my body, which is functioning at 110% right now, before my back starts hurting and such.
The lyrics of this song are truly beautiful! This always makes me think about how I never want to leave this earth because of leaving my daughter's behind. I too want to be forever young♥️
Um mergulho profundo nas raízes mais remotas da humanidade: do ano 0 ao infinto, somos filhos dos ancestrais e eles filhos da terra. O passado sempre estará presente. O presente sempre tornar-se-á passado. O Tempo é imbatível.
My dad died 2 days ago at 60 this is his favorite song rest in peace I will miss him.

This song 💓 is everything for me
Nostalgia
this brings a "tear" to my eye, I was 25 in 1980, still lived with my parents, had a hassle free job in the next town, It all seems so far away now doesn,t it? no "mobile phones", no "social media", no problems, everyone knew everyone in your village, no real crime to speak of, i,de come home from work, have my tea, and pop down the local for a game of pool and a pint with my friends without a care in the world! hear "wonderful tunes "like this all night,and everyone was happy!
then walk home "safe in the knowledge that even though it was dark, no one would mug me for want of a five pound note!
being 68 and retired now has it,s advantages, I know how "magical those days were like so many of us,we definatly saw the best of britain,
so different to today! this is why this song brings a tear not of sadness but remembering all those wonderful years of carefreeness and joy,
no,one can take those days away from us born in the 50,s I ,like so many of us will stay" forever young" if only in our dreams,XXX

My grandma for example likes to talk about how she went to college in the 60’s, worked 20 hours at a part time job, and made enough money from that for a HOUSE in 1960. Life was so easy back then it’s ludicrous. I’m the same age she was and I go to school, work 50 hours a week on top of that between two jobs to afford one bedroom of a house that I have to share with 3 other people, and forget saving money. You really were lucky to grow up when you did because everything is fucked now.
It's April 2024, how many people still want to be forever young?

I'm 65 about to turn 66 and I love this song from the 80s. It's like a time machine song😊

I was 20 in 84 when this song came out. I had just graduated high school the year before, and headed to college. .My father had died 10 years earlier when he was 36. My life was just ahead of me. I will turn 60 tomorrow.
Happy advanced Birthday! I hope you enjoyed those years before and that you'll enjoy your birthday. Age is just a number; all of us will stay "Forever Young"!
Happy birthday! I’m so sorry that you lost your dad at such a young age.
happy birthday to you, may you stay young forever inside
Turned 62 earlier this month. Time flies. I'm still living a pretty good life. I sobered up some time back and my life is so much better.
@wordnerd2005 That's so good to hear. Very proud of you. I went through the sobriety issues as well. Glad to say I too am sober today, but not before putting myself, and others through Hell before. As long as you can learn from your mistakes, it's well worth the effort of not quitting, or giving up before it finally takes.
The vocals on this song are absolutely flawless. He doesn't even use vibrato. Just a clear, clean voice reaching higher and higher effortlessly. The whole album is a masterpiece, right up there with Upstairs at Eric's as one of the very best synth pop albums. I was maybe 12 when I first listened to it and it still gives me chills.
And he can still sing it today just as good, maybe even better.
Reminds me of Asia's vocals.

My dad die 7 days ago, this is his favorite song, he died at 55 years, he's always in my heart... I can't continue with my life without him.... But this song was played everyday until he died, Roberto, you're always in my heart, forever, and we never forget you, you're the biggest angel in the sky, heaven can't wait, but god needs you more than me here on the earth. I promise you everything, and one day we become together at paradise. I give you a hug, and i'm going to be with you the rest of the eternity. In heaven....
RIP
Endless condolences to you for your loss.
Consolences. I can remember when my father died at 60. I was 26 and it was tough. It may seem impossible now, but take heart. Others have gone thru this and come out fine on the other end.

This song is wonderful. Alphaville talk about how time flies and about people that died at a young age and will stay forever young. The song also relates about those who don't want to die or to get old. I found that's fantastic that the singers talked about such a deep subject in a catchy, peaceful yet powerful song. You have to listen to this at least once in your life !
I bought this as a 12 yr old in London . It still almost brings tears to me hearing it now . My god the 80s were absolutely stunning
The best time in US history. It was probably one of the best times in the UK too.
Definitely the best time of our lives. I was 8 years old in 1984 when this song came out.
@@travisn346 it was the best time of my life 👍

At my high school, this was our class song in 1988. I will never forget the entire senior class dancing to this when it was played as the last song at our prom. Time flies.

Это действительно шедевр.
Right! I was an adult in the 90s. To me, it was the last time period when everybody got along. Now, nothing makes sense. I don't see things getting better. So if there us reincarnation, I want to be born in the 70s, so I can live this great time period again.
Best decade for music period.
You are so right we had the best music

Not so much for me. Once I became aware of world problems, the only recourse was to get old enough to have more say in major decisions.

Of course she was still young! 💚💛🧡💖💜💙
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80s, and I think the version performed by the late Laura Branigan is also great. The atmosphere it creates is truly unique; it both makes you happy and gives you a deep sense of melancholy. It reminds me that eternal life is impossible and the decision to die young is a painful and heartbreaking choice. It beautifully conveys the bittersweet essence of youth and the fleeting nature of time. I wish we could stay young forever.
In the past, people who are no longer with us listened to this song when it first came out, and they thought just like us. But now, they are no longer here. We have these same thoughts, and future generations will think the same. It's wonderful that this song remains here. Because music transcends time, carrying our emotions and thoughts through generations. 'Forever Young' is not just a song, but a symbol of the quest for youth and immortality. This song takes every listener on a journey through time, connecting the past, present, and future. That's why, thank you to Alphaville for creating such a valuable piece.
I had no idea that Laura Branigan died! That's total news to me.
Forever young = they don't want to die to a nuclear war during one of the highest and intense era of the cold war

When i was little, my mom used to clean the house listening to 80s. When i grew up, i lost a friend in Iraq when i was enlisted and the jayz version was out. Now as a 40 year old, i understand every word of this song. for me its about dying young, about knowing how precious life is, about young years and remembering them old, how fast it goes, the end us inevitable but one thing is for sure, they were here. We were here. My friends are frozen in my mind as young soldier's as i grow old.
"Forever Young" by Alphaville is a timeless and emotionally resonant song that captures the essence of the synth-pop era. With its hopeful and universal message, Marian Gold's evocative vocals, and the captivating synth-pop arrangement, the song continues to inspire and uplift listeners worldwide. Its enduring popularity and cultural significance make it a true classic in the realm of '80s music.
its a timeless synth classic
Very good

This song defines 80s nostalgia. A timeless classic. Just proud that I was one of the millions of teenagers around the world who got to enjoy great music from the 80s during the 80s.

Maybe it's the beers although I miss the 80s and how we'd look at life differently.
my favorite comment :) everytime i listen to this song it's like the first time
December 17 2024. Still listening. How reminiscing and memorable. I missed my old classmates. Forever young..
This song encapsulates loss and the fear of death in such a beautiful and powerful way.
It also is about not being afraid to love and living in the moment for it, because youth isn't forever.
Dying is easy... watching those you love/that love you die while you live on is a horror that never ends....they are there, still....most forever young... and i still miss them so much...still there in the 80's forever young.
Look at music video. There all going towards the light in the end. Thar is the light everyone sees at death.
Never fear death otherwise you’re running your whole life
No, it's about nuclear war. The song is literally about a nuclear war. @@Leny1777

My mom used to sing this to me and when she would sing the "you have the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen" she would look at me and sing it with a smile. I just remember her looking at me like i was just the best thing in the world and feeling warm and dipped in love for my mommy. This song came on the radio the other day and i was in the car with my daughter. I told my daughter (4) how my mom would sing it to me and it was my special song and now I'm gonna sing it to her and it will be hers. Then I sang that part to her just like my mom did and it was so sweet, she got all teary and held my hand while I sang the rest of it to her.

@@charlesnorwich5932 Quem dera, mas esta não é a vontade do Criador...😇🥺
Quando, porém, veio Cristo como sumo sacerdote dos bens já realizados, mediante o maior e mais perfeito tabernáculo, não feito por mãos, quer dizer, não desta criação,
não por meio de sangue de bodes e de bezerros, mas pelo seu próprio sangue, entrou no Santo dos Santos, uma vez por todas, tendo obtido eterna redenção.
Portanto, se o sangue de bodes e de touros e a cinza de uma novilha, aspergidos sobre os contaminados, os santificam, quanto à purificação da carne,
muito mais o sangue de Cristo, que, pelo Espírito eterno, a si mesmo se ofereceu sem mácula a Deus, purificará a nossa consciência de obras mortas, para servirmos ao Deus vivo!
Por isso mesmo, ele é o Mediador da nova aliança, a fim de que, intervindo a morte para remissão das transgressões que havia sob a primeira aliança, recebam a promessa da eterna herança aqueles que têm sido chamados.
Porque, onde há testamento, é necessário que intervenha a morte do testador;
pois um testamento só é confirmado no caso de mortos; visto que de maneira nenhuma tem força de lei enquanto vive o testador.
Pelo que nem a primeira aliança foi sancionada sem sangue;
porque, havendo Moisés proclamado todos os mandamentos segundo a lei a todo o povo, tomou o sangue dos bezerros e dos bodes, com água, e lã tinta de escarlate, e hissopo e aspergiu não só o próprio livro, como também sobre todo o povo, dizendo:
Este é o sangue da aliança, a qual Deus prescreveu para vós outros.
Igualmente também aspergiu com sangue o tabernáculo e todos os utensílios do serviço sagrado.
Com efeito, quase todas as coisas, segundo a lei, se purificam com sangue; e, sem derramamento de sangue, não há remissão.
Era necessário, portanto, que as figuras das coisas que se acham nos céus se purificassem com tais sacrifícios, mas as próprias coisas celestiais, com sacrifícios a eles superiores.
Porque Cristo não entrou em santuário feito por mãos, figura do verdadeiro, porém no mesmo céu, para comparecer, agora, por nós, diante de Deus; nem ainda para se oferecer a si mesmo muitas vezes, como o sumo sacerdote cada ano entra no Santo dos Santos com sangue alheio.
Hebreus 9:11-28
I was thinking the same thing. I wasn't sure if I was feeling better or worse by listening to it. It gave me a weird nostalgic feeling. I'm really sickened by getting old, but here it is.
If you have been wanting to do something, do it before you die. It could be coming for you. Good luck my friends.
I love this song very much. I was 19 years old when it was released, and now I am 59 years old and I still enjoy listening to it. The lyrics, melody and singing have a sincere feeling. Alphaville is still my favorite band. Also, when Dr. Hudson and Jay Z sang it again, it was amazing ❤

When I listen to this song I tear up, I’m only 33 but it makes me realise how fast my life will pass and how much I don’t want it to
Make a big deal out of every event in your life. All the landmarks, even the small ones. Sear them in your brain because you're very correct...it goes by in a flash. Only yesterday I was teaching my baby son to walk (he's 28 now), and the day before I brought my daughter home from the hospital, a nervous new dad scared to death he'd have an accident and hurt his little angel (she's 31 now). At 54 (I was a idealistic teen when this song came out and I remember it like yesterday, feeling I'd never grow old) I've learned to live and love every event because literally every day could be the very last one.
I look at my 3 year old grandson and think, if I could just go back and do it all over again.
But the secret to staying forever young...you do want to know the secret don't you?...is the "you" that you leave in people's memories. You will be forever young every time they remember you, and they will talk about how you did this or that, and smile.
I’m 58 years old and it seems like yesterday I was 28. Life is a profound gift that is very short, don’t waste it worrying. Smile and just be happy to be alive. 🙏🙂
@@danielevans9379 ill be 35 in July :'(, i see dem wrinkles forming
Same im 35 time flies
One of the great songs of all times!
The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.
👏
I concur. 😊

Quite an interesting place considering Cold War History, thinking of Enver Hoxha and his fetish like obsession with little concrete bunkers, i'm planning a visit for next year to see for myself
The problem is that not everyone thinks like you do! I totally agree with you!
greetings from slovenija. we are all support in 1980s kosovo miner strike.
In 1999 I was 21. Today 2024 I’m 46. Time flies and before you know it it’s gone. It’s true! Just be happy enjoy your life in the moment, be yourself and live to your fullest. For this reason you were created.
🩵
I was 8 in 1999. It's weird cause now being 32, it's like, where did it all go? Time really does just take off, especially when you hit adulthood.
It does go fast. It's hard to escape the conclusion that I've wasted most of my life. Foolishness, stupidity and fear.
I was 22. Agreed.
23 in 1999 ❤
I'm 56 years old...This song brings back memories of my beloved mun and dad both passed away. It is so moving!
lost both my parents,my wife,2 sisters,2 brothers and both my sons---i have no idea why i am on this planet
Me too - in tears writing this now. I miss them so much. This song encapsulates loss.
Were all going towards the light when we die. Look at music video there all going towards the light in the end.
I just used to listen to this song when my mom listened to it and she loved it now that it been a while I realise this song has a deeper meaning and I just never realised but I like the song now ,it truly is wonderful

The sad part isn’t growing up, it’s the innocence that we lose through out the years. That’s what I miss the most; the days of innocence and ignorantly enjoying life without a worry. Make the most of your life guys, learn to love, communicate and have meaningful relationships. That’s what it’s all about!
I really miss the 80s...wish to have a time machine and return to those beloved days....peace and love to everyone!!
You couldn’t have said it better
Me too..
In the Future We go on “Time Vacations”
Your words are beautiful, the same thing happens to me, the best time machine is music, greetings from Chile.
Never a truer word spoken, the 80s are gone but live on in those that lived it, all we need is a flux capacitor and to be travelling at 88mph and we can go back
Turning 17 in 2 months. I really just want to be young forever,. But life is beautiful and you have to grow up to see it.
This here. The single most important comment. I hope you all get to grow up and see it.
It hits hard when u are 50.
rooting for you buddy
I thought i was the only one who just wanted to be forever young at your age.
When i was 16, i had the same mentality. Even younger.
I felt like i wouldn’t be able to enjoy those adolescence moments any more than in the future, when we finally grew up. I was the only kid who never wanted to grow up.
Today I’m 21 and now this makes more sense than ever.
Take advantage of the moments you live at that age, the things you do with your friends at your age, how easy life is with hardly any responsibilities...
I would die to be 16 again and relive all of that one more time.
How come this song makes my eyes tear up?
Jessie Moody nice last name
I don't know.
I was burned so hard that I can't even cry anymore so consider yourself lucky 💔😓
@@johnnaoliver8427 I'm sorry 😢 I wish that wouldn't have happened to you if I could have done something to help I would have
You're not the only one😭😭
I feel like I died a long time ago and I'm just living watching everyone else enjoy life while I got left behind...
Make that count. There's a lot to enjoy in watching (even helping) other people enjoy their lives.
I was at a uni graduation ceremony with my nephew graduating.
All those young boys and girls looking forward to life and looking to me for guidance was totally beautiful.
you are not alone!
I can relate to your comment. It's weird because my family thinks I'm really alive. I'm just existing.
Keep fighting for today tomorrow and forever
@@fairydust-ky4oc you might consider at least, taking vit D and iron. I am 70. In my experience - had some long spells of feeling 'elsewhere'...once asked a gp pal who explained our body's reaction to that affects our decisions and feelings and to 'give it a go'. (More to this than I can explain here) i felt enormous changes when i took some extra minerals for sure
I think i have developed a supernatural power of recognising 80's music. I am 30 years old as of now (born 1993) & an ardent fan of 80's. This song was on air at the local supermarket I shopped in Sri Lanka & I instantly "shazam'ed" it.
In love with this masterpiece forever ❤
Find every obscure 80's song you can. It's worth it.
I mean… the keytar is always a dead giveaway. 😂
Methinks part of the song's message was about the Cold War and the uncertainty of human life's continuity then, hence...only watching the skies...always hoping for the best but expecting the worst...
This song never gets old because this song is forever young
Chills reading the comments. This song hits hard.
I will never give up being forever young.
yes, for the 80's kids
I reckon
Am telling you dear...the comments hits
My god I miss the 80s and 90s,those of us left that grew up in those amazing years were so blessed with music that is timeless
me too. heard this Song on my first Road Trip from Germany to Italia. Going on Vacation with my best Friend. This where good Years.
And those of us that were already grown up that spent the entire 80's decade in their 20's like I did were very blessed. I turned 20 in 1980 and 30 in 1990, and what a fun decade that was. Grown up with a job, my own money to spend on concerts, going clubbing and buy great designer clothes (although I could do without the shoulder pads). I grew up in the 60 and 70 and graduated high school in 79 but my life didn't really start until I grew up and what a great decade to take on the world. I miss the 80's so much. The 90's was my decade in having babies and raising them and pretty much watched Disney and Barney for 10 years lol.
You were indeed blessed. I was young in the Seventies which was amazing. But your era saw great music and great TV. I wouldn't give a fig for this 2020s crappy era.
This song makes me cry like a young child! I’m scared of growing old but I know it’s a blessing to live into old age. My dad died at 33! He was murdered.
God bless you, im so sorry to hear about your dad, carry your love for him always
Sorry for your loss

Dec 2024 I'm listening from Burma.
Mimo mojego zaawansowanego wieku przy tej piosence zawsze czuje się młody.... miód na moje serduchu !!!
Absolutely so true so true
This song was released during my second year in the Marines, I'm now 58. Eventually, we realize how precious those youthful days were and must accept aging......😒😒😒
Kkk verdade
My first year when I was in airborne school 2nd week Too $hort cocktails came out. Just saying 😂🤷♂️
amo, amo,amo essa música ❤️ bons tempos de infância, saudade dessa época !
Así es hermosa 😊
Yes i to
Lies again? AVA AVN
I love this song, even though it's not from my era, it's a timeless song listening to it on 11/25/2024 🇧🇷❤️
I'm 61 now I hope the Lord can bless me to see 80 please Lord amen
👍🙏
@@kastamonudayasam...

@@glennmango8412 then why are you waching shorts??
You got this!
De todas as músicas que existem , essa eternamente jovem é a mais perfeita e emocionante do meu ❤.Brasil Camocim Ceará
Um enorme abraço
Concordo plenamente
My 35 year old son passed away on Sunday. His memorial is tomorrow and this is one of the songs we will be using.
I'm very sorry about your loss 😔
Really sorry about hearing that
Feel sorry
Feel sorry.
Meus mais sinceros sentimentos!
I'm 50 years old, I still want to be forever young, why not? It's so beautiful...
Imagine how Amazing it must feel to have written a song that stands the test of time for 40 years. That people walk around to this very day singing to themselves. This song is one of those. I would say 90% of the songs that never get old with us are from the 80s. I truly magical decade in music. One I am blessed to have grown up in.❤🎶🎵
What a very insightful comment and in many respects I'd go along with that sentiment, although I do believe there are many songs that last from many other eras, certainly 80s songs seem to summon up most nostalgia and incredible love ...and from todays young too! Look at how many are switching on Radio stations like Boom, Absolute, Smooth, Greatest Hits etc! And switching OFF Radio 1 and 2!
So lucky to been a teenager in the 80s.
Best times ever. How has life passed by so quickly.
I'm 17 now; I've realized that time passes really quickly. Soon, my youth is over.
@@abcdefg4570 poi-se
Oh, Amanda, I blinked and now I'm 50, right there with ya
@@abcdefg4570 i recommend for you to try to enjoy every moment you have. look around and see what’s around you so that you live in the present.
@@jostsomuan8012 I'll be sure to do that! I know I will look back at being this age in the future, but it doesn't feel too special right now. I'll try to do as much as possible with my body, which is functioning at 110% right now, before my back starts hurting and such.
The lyrics of this song are truly beautiful! This always makes me think about how I never want to leave this earth because of leaving my daughter's behind. I too want to be forever young♥️
This song touches the core of my heart 🥺❤️
Uma das músicas mais linda de todos os tempos, viajo quando escuto essa música. Me transporto, algo transcendental!! Amo essa música!!!
Eu tbém amo essa música ouço ela a 41 anos
Essa música é muito linda mesmo, tenho só 21 anos mais do mais valor em músicas antigas do que nas atuais
Nossa amigo sinto exatamente o mesmo
Um mergulho profundo nas raízes mais remotas da humanidade: do ano 0 ao infinto, somos filhos dos ancestrais e eles filhos da terra. O passado sempre estará presente. O presente sempre tornar-se-á passado.
O Tempo é imbatível.
Ouvindo este hino volto aos meus 19 anos, hoje tenho 55 lembrando dos bons momentos.
If you are here in 2024 , you are a legend
The real legends never left homie
Yeah
Orng indo yahh mba wkwkwkw
Ya
Yup
