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 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 man
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 wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)

Boring hairy monkeys
exactly bro
My dad used to play this on the computer every morning. He died in a young age so I guess he will always be 'Forever Young' to me.
So sorry for your loss. My dad died a few years ago and it really hurts to hear the music he used to play.
Sorry
So sorry
Sorry about the loss have a good one man.
Man I’m sorry for your loss.
My brother played this for me once when we were hanging out. We both enjoyed it. Sadly God called him the next year to be his Angel. He was 35 at the time. He will be forever young ❤
semoga tuhan memberkati kakakmu
I'm so sorry. I lost my mother last month. This song really makes us accept our own mortality.
I’m sorry deeply 😢
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.
May you live long sir 😊
@@goliath991 Thank you and the same to you
Thank you❤
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😊
@@Dean-qt5owthats badass, you can listen to this song and teleport back mentally 🔆

Me,in Belgium 66 years old
My wife died at 54 years old. To some people this might seem old, but to me she was young. The love of my life.
❤️
forever young
Hope you always good.
Enjoy this life.
Keep send prayer for her.
Вы будете вместе ! Это вечная любовь !
Of course she was still young! 💚💛🧡💖💜💙
Life is a short trip.. Best words ever.. I started work in May 1980.. it passed in the blink of a eye.. I'm 60 now 😪😪😪
I was 19 in 1984 and couldn't imagine being 59 but here I am 🙂. Being young in 1984 was a lot easier than being 19 today. We weren't expected to be perfect like the kids today.
In 2024 they don't want you to be perfect, they want you to die. And by "they" I'm talking about the psychos in positions of power and MSM.
Same here. My how the world has changed.
We were in young age when we remember all beautiful memories.🎉
Tambem tenho 59. Como esquecer essa musica
I was 12 in 1984. 😂 . I hate what the world is now. I'd go back in a heartbeat and soak it in instead of trying to grow up way too fast. Cheers🎉
23 then, 63 now, I wish to be forever young. 40 years gone in the blink of a song. Make it count people.
This won't go unnoticed. trying my best to enjoy my days forevermore. Wish as good health as your music preference ❤
day by day I try
Hope ur keeping ur self healthy
Thanks for your message 😢🎉

O
The tragedy of growing up in the 80’s is you didn’t realize at the time how awesome it was, and when you finally do it’s already over
É assim com todas as décadas e eras.
exactly
Ah yes, the 80s. The great time to live. A time where almost the humanity died because of the nukes.
It isn’t over…we have our memories ❤️
@@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.
1996-ой год, в СНГ были популярны аудиокассеты из серии "The Best of the West", которые зачастую продавались в пиратской версии, с плохим звуком, двойной дорожкой на одной ленте: одна тише, другая с опозданием, но громче. Это было лето. Каникулы. Я подрабатывал, как и другие школьники, на разгрузке и транспортировке арбузов. С утра их надо было развезти по точкам, вечером собрать остатки. Заработанные деньги шли на сладости, лимонад и аудиокассеты. Лето в самом разгаре, впереди 10-й класс, ожидание чего-то доброго, светлого и волнительного. Так оно и было. Только приятные воспоминания, только тёплые чувства. Разное, конечно, было, а запомнилось только хорошее. Сейчас мне 42 года, но в душе я вечно молодой, Forever Young 🙂
I have listened to this song thousands of times with my dad, on the radio, on the cassette recorder, or wherever. This song never made an impression on me whatsoever during those years. Now that my dad's gone, it made sense. He was the one who made me feel comfortable while listening to this song.
How older you get, the deeper this masterpiece hits you.
Nothing truer has ever been said
Life ! What a blast 😊
Agreed
I don’t wanna get old
@@Just.felixx-et3tr It’s the price we pay 💰
For my son who never got to be young. I love you my son.
I feel your pain brother. Sending you prayers and healing. Mine passed away too. His name was Isaiah. ❣
At least you all made some one, I am 40 and no kids... so you all say thank God please.@@pratik_dhuri
Forewer sugn
I don't know your faith, but may Jesus Christ be with you as He is with your beloved son.
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.
Ahhhh the 1980s, the greatest decade in human history. Good times. Better days. Long live GEN X!!!! Greetings of hope and love from the Philippines.
😢😢😢❤❤❤❤❤😢😢
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.
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
One of the greatest songs ever created.
yes indeed
Mmmm well....
The best song
Babyshark
u need to listen to more and better music before u die
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.
You were 38 when this song came out ❤️
God Bless. Was big in the mid 80s
I seemingly missed it too. It's kind of haunting to me, I guess as I get older.
Wishing u good health
@@walterpal7248damn don’t say that shits scaring me
Saw them live this week, still great. Hearing over 40.000 middle aged people singing the chorus with all their passion was a touching moment for sure. Very different from singing along back then…
Where are they playing?
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.
Must've been one helluva day
Except for the studious who forsook such fluff, one hopes?
@@ZephaniahL God forbid people have fun!
like a certain movies prom song
@@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!
I miss the 80's. My God we were in a different Universe. Sending good music and love to all!!!
🤗
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
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.
If this song doesn’t bring a tears to your eyes🥲
You just don’t have a heart😢
This song is beautifully spiritual. Love it in 2024!
@@emilyselwood7536 "i dOn´t have a heart"
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!
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.
True❤
How right you are . People who were born in the 60's were so Lucky. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
And now 5hey are playing rock from the 2000s on the clasic rock stations
This song oh memory...
You are right, but as the Seekers has sung some years earlier than this song was born, 'The carnival is over....' 😁
When I hear 80s songs like this one, I have flashbacks to when I was a small child going places with my mother, listening to the radio in her blue Oldsmobile. I had no bills to pay, no deadlines to meet, no mouths to feed, etc. Many people can't say the same thing, but I had a wonderful childhood. Those memories will never fade.
yes, the Oldsmoblies .. We had a green one :D
Who's in 2024??!! 😢😢

@@sonofhibbs4425🙋
Still here🫵45 yrs young! some people I know ain't here no more.thats why I love this song.
We all are unless there’s a time traveler
Me! This song breaks my heart💔
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.
Wish you and your family the best. You have her memories to keep her alive within you. It isn't much, but sometimes that is all one has to hold.
💜 🙏
Wish you the best you and your family ❤️I’m 15 and love that song too
My brother passed away at 45.l miss him very much until we meet again

At 68, I'm astounded at how the years have gone by. I think this song has an especial appeal to people like us.
years appear to go faster as you get older ... but we grow more layers as we go, carrying all we were and are @@Johnsson_67
Coming up to 50 but in my head that number isn't real to me.. feel much younger that ..
@@marksparks4787 Ohh just give it some time you will feel it lol
I'm not far ahead and i am starting to feel it

If I'd known how swiftly it would go, I would have loved and lived more deeply. Fortunately, we can live forever beyond this thanks to Christ.❤❤❤
Yes, and you will live in heaven as a young perfect man. I know this in my heart.
Your comment made me sad old man. I hope you've lived a great life. I hope your next live is there waiting for you, waiting for all of us.
Yes I've been reborn in Christ.

We'll meet one day at the crystal Throne of God sir.
@@Michel777 Amen!
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
xXx
xXx
I was also born in the 50s!!💯% agree xxx...
Very true, we only have our dreams. Really hate seeing what has become of Britannia. Hope you enjoy your retirement and enjoy them in peace.
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.
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.
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 👍
The 80s were the best decade ever ❤
Нетлінна пісня.Ars longa ,vita brevis est.
No matter how many grey hairs may appear, or lines on our faces become more clear. The knees giving out , the painful groans getting loud, The loss of old friends seems surreal, the longer they're gone the more I feel. Age gracefully, with honor and dignity. Forever young.
I agree with 62!
Chills reading the comments. This song hits hard.
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.

@@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.
This song is so good that you feel the pain in your soul of growing older.

@@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.
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. 🙏🙂
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. 😊
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

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.

Nostalgic is the worst and the best feeling ever.
Come dico sempre la nostalgia è DOLCE e AMARA , DOLCE perché ti fa ricordare momenti belli, AMARA perché allo stesso tempo ti ricorda che quei momenti non torneranno mai più
April 2024, 63 years, feel young inside, but would love to be out dancing with friends again. So much time passed so fast

Счастья, брат!
I'm 56 years old. I first heard this song live when it first came out. I clicked on a link today and somebody I don't know started singing it. As soon as I saw the original link on the side I clicked on it. Glad I did :) Thank you Alphaville. All I have to say.
Its March 2024, let's see how many legends are listening to this incredible masterpiece💙
Please subscribe thanks.

We here!
The best song then whe I heard it back in the 80s and even better now listening to it
I am envious of anyone that got to listen to this song at their prom in 1984, that must have been an amazing time, no smartphones, no social media, people just living lives in the moment
It did, and it was amazing. It was great just being with your friends to be together.
I kind of like the connectivity, having experienced both sides. I am in my 50's and I think we are just growing into all this. I do feel bad for the kids who are having a tough time.
It was! 👍
The 80s was a great time. Living in the moment was easy. And we made our own fun. I miss those days.
The 80s were a great time to be alive !
This song reminds me of my only son that I lost at 30 years old in December of 2006. Joel will be forever young. My Heart My Son Joel. Always Loved Forever Remembered....

you're the hero 🤗🤭

@@StMichael7 Well I certainly wouldn't pay for it.
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.
Sorry for your loss
She’s waiting for you in heaven brother ❤
Сочувствую вам ( Крым )
God bless you 🙏

We all grow up and think we have plenty of time to live life to the fullest little do we know how fast life can change and turn everything upside down I suffered a Massive stroke 3-15-2022 which left me basically without the use of the left side of my body when I was in intensive care I couldn’t talk;walk or even sit upright on my bed without falling over the simplest mental tasks were extremely difficult I’m now having to relearn most things I learned as a child someday I hope I can get back to where I was before my stroke I’m now a 56 year old child, I am lucky to have an amazing Wife who is my caregiver and she does most everything for me she is my angel without a doubt please make the most of your lives, and be good to those around you you never know what will happen to you or them!
Great Hit music! Long live the 80's.
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 😂🤷♂️
This song will be forever young. It never gets old! 🖤
Tbh I got this song from regular show...yep
年輕是心，是思想～這是無法做假的～也許有天，會在回首人生時～看清～🙏
@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?
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
I am currently 23 years old, I have listened to this group since I was 8 thanks to my mother's good taste. The best group that could have existed. It's a shame that today's music is full of garbage in lyrics. May this music never die and the new generations enjoy it ♥️
Old man Father Time has taken so many of my loved ones away, leaving me old and along.
That's just life.
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

The body gets old our spirit lives forever ❤️
Yes
Yes... with a screen name like "BigMoney" you, no doubt, have a great vision about spirits and eternity
We live in a very special era of humanity where we can capture and hold these moments in a digital world that we can relive until the end of time, wholesome and unique in it's own way ✨✨✨
This song is so timeless…brings me back to my teenage years!
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.
Sorry for your loss.
Hope you find comfort
@@markmarcantonio5808 Thank you, Sir.
I'm very sorry for your loss 😔
❤
Sorry for your loss.

so sorry for you, may your love and memories of your dad give you strength every day forward
Thank you for sharing.
❤❤ for you !
Thanks for sharing.Sorry for your loss.Hugs.
turning 40 today...a strange feeling...that is...listening to this song
*This* *is* *not* *song* *.*
*This* *is* *timeless* *masterpiece* *.*
There are a handful of songs that make you feel a certain type of way. This is one of them.
"Streets of London" one of them?
The comments about this song are so heartwarming, I'm in my 60s now, I never realized how prophetic the song would be ♥️
Freddie Mercury also posed the question, 'Who wants to live forever?' in a song. Ironically, these legends will live forever.❤🙏🏾
1984 to 2024 it's been 40years. It's not a song but a masterpiece and a hit. It's one of the greatest song of the 80's. Who's listening to this masterpiece and this hit in 2024? This hit will be young forever....
Does anyone else remember back in the 80s where we'd all wonder what the future will bring and now we are here everyone would happily go back to the 80s.
I would go back. Great memories.
Good lord we used to think it was bad to grow up under the mushroom clowd but compared to now i would easily live it again.
yes indeed. would do.
I remember thinking about this in the 50's.
Well... Umh... For some people, it wasn't a great time...
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...
My first slowdance with a girl was to this song in 1995. If I forget everything else I will still hold on to that memory until I die
Mam 58 lat w tym roku i ten utwór dla mnie jest najpiękniejszym wspomnieniem lat młodości a przede wszystkim cudownym hitem❤
Brings you back to good days and your best times in life.young at heart.
Johnny Henderson you are young even now.
Johnny Henderson 🤔😁😄
Napoleon Dynamite !!
@@nikhilsukumar23 good one. Thank You
Hope and love for better days...💝
i was 16 when this song came out i understood the message i’m 53 now and this song is my mantra
I wanna marry you
Mine too ❤
Amen
Uff, fck the time is over ⚠️
I'll join you in this manta. Sitting at the fence line of turning 58. Would have been 18/19 that year this song came out.
Remember folks, life is way shorter than you ever think it is
Listened to this when I was 20 now 46 I can't wait to be young again in heaven. Just sad I left my love away. Now alone but with Christ. I made so many mistakes!!!!!!!!!! Tears only make an ocean. So salty so sad so angry so mad. Just forever young.
I was 20 years old when this song came out, I’ll be 60 soon. Love this song so much brings back so many great memories make the best of every day. Tell people you love them and live your best life.
Born in 70s, I'm glad to have known this fantastic era with good music, good movies, good TV series ^^
I agree. Also born 70s!🙂🤗
I was a teenager in the 90s but 80s music was constantly on the radios in the little coastal town in Greece, where I grew up. I remember dreaming of leaving that coastal touristy town then, now wishing I was back in time to realise how magical these teenage years in that little town were...
A feeling of nostalgia. My mum would always put on the oldies radio and I grew up loving 80s-00s.
I lost my mom back in 2022, a childhood friend( i knew since 1974), he was 46 and died back in 2016. another friend I knew for 35 years, he died back in 2021 at 57 years old. Im about to turn 57 this year. Love this song. Nowadays, it really makes me think about things more. Mainly life itself and death.
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!
Esta canción representa lo que a muchos nos pasó, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos la vida pasó. Y nos quedamos con la sensación de que seguimos siendo jóvenes.
👍👍👍🤍🤍🤍😊😊😊
Mui rapido pasa el tiempo
Jesus no pasa
En realidad habla de la guerra fría 😬
Вчера мне было 22, а сегодня уже 38... Время пролетело мгновенно. Будьте счастливы, спасибо вам за эти слова ❤
Jesteśmy młodzi forever cudowne wykonanie ❤
Just saw a 6 or 7 year bop his head along to this track at the Esso Gas station, then ask his Dad “what song is this?”
Made my day.
Yes I want to be Forever Young...miss the 80's Best years
The good old days 💯
Me too..
@Erik Cobra Kai never Dies Most people who enjoyed the 80's were born in the 60's and 70's
Those carefree ways and days
the 80's were great if u were straight white and a man
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.
Am 45 too lost many ( all were not exspected
Youth can be returned to
You can tell them how much you miss and appreciate them.
Leaving this comment here so every now and then, be it days ,months, years, I will be reminded to listen to this song again 🙏🫶
Sabias que esta banda es alemana?❤
Just timeless, gives me goosebumps, how time has flown by.... ❤❤❤
