    This will be the first song which gets played at my wife's funeral service this weekend. To me she will always remain "forever young", especially since she was only 43 years old when she died. She was a big fan of Alphaville, and if there is one perfect version of this evergreen you don't have to look any further. A moment of magic for which I'm eternally grateful.

    I just want to thank my mom for letting me play piano at a young age. Even though I don't know how many times I've tried to give up, or quit, or skip going to practice, my mom still pushed me and I kept going. Now, I have quit, due to money issues, but I still kept playing. I learned to play this song by ear. Thank you mom for letting me play piano., I love you so much

    One of best friends died on the 7th of July 2012.
    At his service I made a memorial dvd/slideshow and his mother requested that this be the first song played.
    Ever since then everything about this song's meaning has changed for me. and when Kyle brings this mood to the song it makes me tear up
    RIP Bailey Booth & Joshua Hurst

    You don't know how much this song and your music means to me. I play it when I'm down. I can really feel your soul speaking in these pieces, and I'm glad to know that music is not dead. You have given me my life and the blood in my veins still flows because of you. On the behalf of I hope countless others, I wish to offer you a truly heartfelt thanks.

    The few days i spend at home when i am not at sea or visiting my girl 10 000 miles away is when i play this song on my horiffic keyboard. Still everytime i give myself goosebumps and tears flow from my eyes, it's simply amazing and has such emotion. I cant really describe what it feels like to play this. Thank you Kyle for playing it too so i can listen when i am away.

  • @HeyItsRonHere

    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?

    Bravo, this is amazing; I like so much that song. When my parents got married, one of my uncles made a video with photos of my parents and their lives since they were little, and my father chose this song for him. I heard this song since I was a baby, and I like it so much. Thank you, your cover is great.

    I love it! My boy plays Classic Piano and I am so on him to watch this and learn this song! If a writer can write on song like this one, they have done what they were put on Earth to do.Thanks for posting

    It's so touching my emotions.
    Three times in the last couple of years that I fell in love hopelessly, everytime I get back to this version of the song. Now, I also started playing it myself. Till I am as good as you, well, I will probably get over it. But there will be a fourth time coming, I am pretty sure, the only good thing about being lovesick. I start playing the good music.
