my mom and dad didnt know this is what he looked like until i rickrolled them. their whole life they thought he was 30 year old black dude in "never gonna give you up"
My wife Lene and I shot this video on a phone in Denmark, in a forest beside a beautiful beach. The song in essence is about how there is so much technology out there pulling and pushing us in our daily lives, that we need to remain human in this fast moving world. The idea of making a video simply, somewhere beautiful and real like this resonates with me, and I hope it does with you too! Rick x ( My team told me I should have given you a link so you can pre-save the album! So if you can click the link and do your thing and then they'll be happy and I can finish this nice cup of tea! Love Rick x ☺RickAstley.lnk.to/AreWeThereYetID )
You never have to run away from yourself, there is so much boragine and I have a feeling that this video will keep us all on the axis, both of us are geniuses!! Exitos!! waiting for this jewel 🇦🇷⚘️
@@namantherockstarBro, I'm happy for you, but I don't think you need to shove your selfish thoughts under Rick's clean comment. Of course I subscribed, but dude...
He lived up to his word he never gave up, he never let us down, he never ran and hurt us, he never made us cry , he never said goodbye, he never ran around and deserted us 😭👏
He's gone from pop star to soul star. The voice is even more full character, texture and emotion. The music, deeper and more reflective. He has matured beautifully as an artist and as a singer. Some of the younger acts could learn a lot from him!
This is literally an 80's song made in 2023 even down to the music video of some guy walking around a forest hugging trees and being semi dramatic with a casual stroll. This man is truly one of the few that I would call a legend. What a world we live in
Dude. This is an amazing song. I hear no pitch correction. It's amazing you can sing like this and I love the grit that came with age. This is absolutely amazing. Wow.
As a producer who had worked with pitch correction for some vocalists, I can say that pitch correction can sound quite natural these days...HOWEVER, for it to sound the most natural, it does require the original recording to be done by a skilled singer! I say that not to discredit Rick's work on this song, but rather to highlight how his natural singing skill goes unaffected even by whatever post processing may have been applied!
Tbh, i like his voice more now then when he was young Not saying his voice was bad when he was young (fuck you internet for making me feel like i have to clarify something that should've already been implied)

Seriously, such a vibe. His voice aged wonderfully, and even evolved. Like I'm a sucker for when artists have a voice that stays damn near the same for decades, but it's always a real treat when their voice evolves in to a whole new feel while still remaining familiar
I was looking for songs yesterday and this popped up in my recommended, had way less views than it does now. Glad more people are hearing this because this song is a masterpiece
just wanted to say that this song inspired a playlist i still use encapsulating the vibes of pushing forward and staying strong. you directly gave me the courage to do what i never thought i would. ty rick, and ty everyone who keeps the fire burning. you rock!
He Rick Rolled us with his own song and used it to spread a beautiful message to humanity at an extremely pivotal moment. Feels very full circle. Thank you Rick. This is beyond legendary 🙏

After 30+ years, 1.4 billion views, influencing many generations and leaving a special place in our hearts. This man is Never Gonna Stop and we love him for it.
Never noticed how much blues energy his voice has, it especially shows at his age now. Guess some things really do age like wine. Never stop, you're a legend to generations
Man...your voice has aged like a fine wine. That forest looked very beautiful. You and your wife's recording was flawless. Legendary man, just legendary 👍😊💖
Imagine yourself watching yourself age and deteriorate and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You feel no different inside than you did at age 16.
I mean, Tears for Fears released an album a couple years ago when Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith were 60. There really isn’t any reason why people in the 50-70’s range shouldn’t make music. Not gonna bring up the new Rolling Stones song because it honestly was kinda mid, but you get the idea lmao
He never gave us up He never let us down He never ran around and deserted us He never made us cry He never said goodbye He never told a lie and hurt us What a legend❤
Heard it on the radio yesterday. Didn't know who was singing it, but thought wow,,,,what a song. Brilliant. Thought it was an American soul singer. Then found out it was Rick. An absolute superb song. Xxx

@@mangelsimonpaniello2256 well if you got it you it ? 🙂all licence royal's he should of got every time that video was played, he should minted, rolling cash, like biggest, big stars are? 😞
@I-Love-The-80s How about making an insightful connection between the video's message and your faith? Rather than just preaching randomly lol. To each their own, but never alone.
He never gave us up, he never let us down, he never ran around and he never deserted us. What a legend. Shall he keep Rick rolling people for years to come
He still has the deepness to his voice, but now it comes with a raspy, soulful energy that comes from his age. He still sounds amazing, arguably even better!
I know the vocals are a studio recording, but I'm still floored that it's his real voice. The voice is so different from what you expect when you look at him. What a set of pipes!
When his first album came out, many people who never saw him, thought he was black. Such deep soulful voice in a small package. Here looked like a kid in thre early videos. Granted he was very young then.
I really appreciate how much he embraces his cultural legacy. It can be frustrating for a lot of artists when most of your portfolio pales in comparison to one big hit, but I'm glad that Rick seems to be able to have fun with it.
@@El_Presidente_5337Yeah but this song came out 5 days ago and it is already fairly high in his top most popular songs on this channel. It has the most potential to become a new rickroll
I like how this song is very original, and that Astley didn't try to 'force' this song to be a meme, even though the title would almost suggest otherwise. Really nice song all in all!
the funny thing is that the meme song we're all thinking of isn't really so meme-y to begin with. It's just a really good song that somehow stuck with people. To me, it has in a way something poetic that internet trolls are never gonna stop rick rolling others. Is that weird? Maybe.
He truly didn’t give up. After all these years he’s truly kept his word. Legit though this song is absolutely incredible and I love the scenery that was throughout the video. Nice job.
A man who never lost touch of who he is despite the fast moving changes in the world given the recent two decades. It's safe to say this man is a legend and still has the same charm he used to even though he's older now.
@@jamescartier8728Wouldn't you agree that the world has drastically changed given the past two decades? All the technology and social media and how out of touch we are as people. Rick Astley stated in the top comment of this video that this was the purpose of filming and producing the song.
It's weird to hear him sing years after Never Gonna Give You Up and Together Forever. But my gosh, Rick's voice has matured beautifully. This song makes a callback to the hits of back then, it's so nostalgic... The setting for this video is pristine. Thank you for this gift, Rick!
He's been so active all this time. You're the one who misses a lot and never caught up any update from him. Throughout the years, his genre became like gospel music
His voice aged like a fine vintage. Absolutely wonderful to hear from him again. Getting Rickrolled wouldn't have caught on if his voice wasn't so catchy. Glad to hear from him again.
I never minded getting Rick-rolled because I've always unironically loved his music. & I actually remember the days of Rick-rolling people prior to YT & Facebook. What a time to be alive. 😂
Not only is it referencing his own "Never Gonna Give You Up" ("Never gonna") but also "We Didn't Start The Fire" ("Can't stop this world from turning, the fire's already burning"). There's probably other songs being referenced from "his era" too. His voice is absolutely golden. What a living legend. POP OFF KING!!!
I think he put 'never gonna' so it'd come up on the recommended bar when people look up never gonna give you up. Probably more to do with the business aspect than a creative tribute. It's cool that he made the lyrics relevant and meaningful whilst baring in mind the business
I got rick rolled. Rick Astley hasn't aged since he began his career. The man has incredible vocals. Pretty sure he can command anyone's attention at any given moment.
His voice became much much MUCH better with age. In 80s it sounded like a 100% meme material and now he's soulful singer with such a raspy vocals, love it
I like how the lyrics are somber and somewhat anxious, but the melody behind them is confident, resounding, and relaxed. The feeling this song gives off is indescribable
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that this legend is still making awesome music more than 35 years after giving us "Never gonna give you up". Thank you Rick Astley.
From thinking I was gonna be rickrolled any moment now to being hit with the exact feelings I'm having about the world's current fast paced digitalisation I'm wow. This is amazing. We do need more songs like this. Let's take care of our planet and the connections we make. ❤
It’s real…. The sequel, the legend, the legacy. Rick Astley, never give up because none of use are going to run around and desert you. You’ve earned every once of respect and fame you have now. Please, continue rolling us Rick.
I looove the vintage 60s feel to this song. And wow, his voice as an older man definitely shines more in this song than I've heard in some of his later stuff. His voice is still HAWT, just in a different way than it was when he was younger. Amazing. :) His wife is blessed. Very cute story about how this was shot. And I love the sentiment of the song too (I have a lot of luddite sympathy).
The full album is coming out October 6th, as a matter of fact - it's called "Are We There Yet?" It's linked in the lower part of the description of this video, and in the squares that come up at the end of the video - WOO-HOO!!! Get your pre-orders in, folks - let's give this LEGEND another much-deserved #1 album in the UK the following week!!! 😍😍😍
rickroll was never a bad song at all. it's a genuinely sweet love song. just, used as a prank one day and it became infamous. it was *never* a bad song and i think we all owe rick an apology.
@@supersmashbro596been rickrolled plenty and every time I used it as a reminder to listen to the whole song again because it’s a beautiful ditty this old guy has appreciated from the beginning. I’m a romantic, what can I say. This new stuff is phenomenal imo, I’m really happy for him.
when he said "never gonna" he knew what he was doing 🤣 rick is always making amazing songs, love this one, even years and years later he's still got that rhythm he will quite literally never let us down
After all these years he's still got it. He's never gonna give us up. Never gonna let us down. Never gonna run around and desert us. ... But he will make us cry when he says goodbye. I can't tell a lie, it'll hurt us. But for now, he's here and we're loving his music.
Can't stop listening to this. I'll never forget your voice, Rick. Thanks for visiting my community and answering questions (r/Music) today. All of our members really love you a lot. Thanks for taking time with your fans to answer questions, it really means a lot and it's a big reason I buy your albums (and tell others to do the same. [I am sorry about that one guy; we removed his comment and banned him for being very rude. That's the internet for ya.]
@@FithvialI would say it depends on the person, if you keep making music you lose that special thing eventually, if you take break for a couple years to gather your bearings and then you can continue making music that has the same special thing Sorry if this is confusing, I couldn’t think of a better way to explain it
his face, voice, and vocal tone has aged so incredibly well and it's so so rare for an artist to consistently create good music over such a long career - so many have lost themselves along the way but this solidifies rick astley as a complete legend in his genre
His voice has aged like fine wine, it feels like it has a walnut kind of flavor now I feel very honored that a world star has noticed the beauty of our forests
The original "Never gonna" was actually cut and pasted from Rick's best take, and it seems like the same technique was used in this song! It could even be the original recording slowed, but it's less artificial sounding than the original song, and maybe that's the point! 😮
He may look older now but his voice, his singing skills and his heart will always age just as fine like a fine wine, truly one of the most excellent English singers of all time. ✊🙏
From "never gonna give up" to "never gonna stop", he'll never let us down
You missed the opportunity to say "He's *never gonna* let us down."

Definitely. The first time he starts the "Never gonna" you can see a slight smile on his face as he stops and finishes the chorus.
*confused rick rolled face*
@@mangelsimonpaniello2256 well if you got it you it ? 🙂all licence royal's he should of got every time that video was played, he should minted, rolling cash, like biggest, big stars are? 😞
The legend continues
Hell yeah!
@I-Love-The-80s How about making an insightful connection between the video's message and your faith? Rather than just preaching randomly lol.
To each their own, but never alone.
Da
@I-Love-The-80s he said put some effort into it instead of copy pasting. If it was relevant to the video someone might think it was interesting.
he truely never let us down
1987: Promised to never gonna give you up, dreams about the journey
2023: Actually followed through with that promise, reflects on the journey
He never gave us up, he never let us down, he never ran around and he never deserted us. What a legend. Shall he keep Rick rolling people for years to come
He always made us cry but never said goodbye
spicyink spotted 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
^ and he’s never gonna stop
My farts are better than Rick’s farts 💨
Absolutely we will. That's a given.
I feel like Rick Astley's voice has changed the most since the past 40 years out of every singer
Sounds more soulful, aged well
Axl Rose and Vince Neil are typing...
Damn 1980 was 40 years ago
My farts are better than Rick’s farts 💨
He still has the deepness to his voice, but now it comes with a raspy, soulful energy that comes from his age. He still sounds amazing, arguably even better!
the best comeback in history
love it
Ian Boggs!
Can I get a hi
agreed my man
This bouta blow up like crazy
Bro how has this not blown up yet
Also hi Ian I love ur vids
I know the vocals are a studio recording, but I'm still floored that it's his real voice. The voice is so different from what you expect when you look at him. What a set of pipes!
its like his voice just gets better along his age
@@Guisantz like fine wine 🍷
@@Twiddle_things seriously though
When his first album came out, many people who never saw him, thought he was black.
Such deep soulful voice in a small package. Here looked like a kid in thre early videos. Granted he was very young then.
nope, his voice matches his voice perfectly, u trippin
Never gonna give you up was just part 1 to rick rolling all along. This man is ahead of his time.
You're right my man! (Also loved your last video!)
That was fast
Right,Of course you would be here, why wouldn't you be ahahha
@@Mr_Wolfyzwe never left..as a kid,i'd never would of believed the internet nowadays even if you had a time machine

I really appreciate how much he embraces his cultural legacy. It can be frustrating for a lot of artists when most of your portfolio pales in comparison to one big hit, but I'm glad that Rick seems to be able to have fun with it.
We should make this the new Rick roll
@@historytank5673that would be funny but this is about technology in our daily lives
@historytank5673
There where so many attempts already on getting a new Rick Roll for easily more than ten years.
@@El_Presidente_5337Yeah but this song came out 5 days ago and it is already fairly high in his top most popular songs on this channel. It has the most potential to become a new rickroll
It took years for him to come to peace with it actually.
I never thought we would get a sequel to the legendary rick roll, but here we are. This man is an absolute legend.
i agree! and also, loving the zeurel pfp
Read your bible! (KJV, preferably) ♥
*likes* OH GOD I AM THE 666TH LIKE
I like how this song is very original, and that Astley didn't try to 'force' this song to be a meme, even though the title would almost suggest otherwise. Really nice song all in all!
the funny thing is that the meme song we're all thinking of isn't really so meme-y to begin with. It's just a really good song that somehow stuck with people. To me, it has in a way something poetic that internet trolls are never gonna stop rick rolling others. Is that weird? Maybe.
Memes aside his songs have always been great
@@patrickholzer6415because the og youtube hyperlinked all video links to a rick roll
Are you kidding me? The "never gonna" is exactly the same. My brain totally expected the "give you up" afterwards
He truly didn’t give up. After all these years he’s truly kept his word. Legit though this song is absolutely incredible and I love the scenery that was throughout the video. Nice job.
A man who never lost touch of who he is despite the fast moving changes in the world given the recent two decades. It's safe to say this man is a legend and still has the same charm he used to even though he's older now.
Not sure what you meant by "two decades" but Never Gonna Give You Up came out 40 years ago
@@jamescartier8728Wouldn't you agree that the world has drastically changed given the past two decades? All the technology and social media and how out of touch we are as people. Rick Astley stated in the top comment of this video that this was the purpose of filming and producing the song.
To paraphrase: Nothing can stop what is coming?
It's weird to hear him sing years after Never Gonna Give You Up and Together Forever.
But my gosh, Rick's voice has matured beautifully. This song makes a callback to the hits of back then, it's so nostalgic...
The setting for this video is pristine. Thank you for this gift, Rick!
i thought this was a weird parody sequel to never gonna give you up for some goddamn reason
He's been so active all this time. You're the one who misses a lot and never caught up any update from him.
Throughout the years, his genre became like gospel music
Cry For Help is a more recent song of his, and a really good one at that.
@@GeorgeMartinus I like the one where he’s dancing with the devil in a park
Forgot what it’s called
He looks ancient for 57 tho damn
It *feels* classic, but it's brand new! You still have it Rick, and thank you for blessing us with this gem!
For some reason I find the name sanitarycockroach absolutely hilarious
Very true
@@XLPan21 That's the idea!
I love Rick Astley. His voice is still super haunting. That is a gift from God himself.
His voice aged like a fine vintage. Absolutely wonderful to hear from him again. Getting Rickrolled wouldn't have caught on if his voice wasn't so catchy. Glad to hear from him again.
Smooth as fine whiskey on a chill summer evening.
eevee profile picture, must like comment.
I never minded getting Rick-rolled because I've always unironically loved his music.
& I actually remember the days of Rick-rolling people prior to YT & Facebook.
What a time to be alive. 😂
God bless Rick. Like good wine, aging well.
Not only is it referencing his own "Never Gonna Give You Up" ("Never gonna") but also "We Didn't Start The Fire" ("Can't stop this world from turning, the fire's already burning"). There's probably other songs being referenced from "his era" too. His voice is absolutely golden. What a living legend. POP OFF KING!!!
Don't Stop Believing, maybe?
I think he put 'never gonna' so it'd come up on the recommended bar when people look up never gonna give you up. Probably more to do with the business aspect than a creative tribute. It's cool that he made the lyrics relevant and meaningful whilst baring in mind the business
World isn't turning
and he used words! David Bowie also used words, this is a reference to Elton John
@@KrillGorilla i didnt even notice he did thissss
he never gave up. And he never let us down.
and most of all
He's never gonna stop!
Oh you think so?
you rickrolled me
@@gacha.mech. ☺ glad to hear it

I got rick rolled. Rick Astley hasn't aged since he began his career. The man has incredible vocals. Pretty sure he can command anyone's attention at any given moment.
Hasn't aged? He has aged & I don't understand why that's a bad thing. Aging is natural.
@@sarahparkes6980i think she's talking about vocals not affected by age

He never gave up. He never let us down. He never deserted us. And he never hurt us.
This feels like a classic 70s soul song. It doesn't feel like the people that try to recreate that sound. It sounds authentic.
well thats cuz it IS authentic 😆
Rick, your voice has aged like fine wine. It's incredibly soulful, and this is a such a great song!

That's a great song. I really like how his voice has matured. It was always great but there is a really sense of humanness in it in this song.
His voice became much much MUCH better with age. In 80s it sounded like a 100% meme material and now he's soulful singer with such a raspy vocals, love it
Well it sounds like a meme looking back but in the 80s people who heard it when it came out probably didn't think "meme" they thought "song"
he sounds like he sung giant

@@ablone wrong place wrong time
This guy never gives us up even though time has caught up to him. What a legend.
Has he told us enough times that he will never give us up or let us down?
And he will never run around like ever?
Or how he’ll never desert us?
And never gonna make us cry?
And never say goodbye?
I like how the lyrics are somber and somewhat anxious, but the melody behind them is confident, resounding, and relaxed. The feeling this song gives off is indescribable
First I read the feeling is indestructible 🤯
Played too much MTG
Feels like it's anxious optimism. Like he's got plenty for a lot of fear about the present, but he has faith in the future provided we keep strong
But... You literally just described it.
Yeah, it somehow sets insecurities into a warm context
@@Brawndo2008 no I described the lyrics and the music on their own. The part that's indescribable is when both are together
It's incredible how often you go above and beyond.” “I know I've been busy lately, but I just had to tell you what a great job you're doing.
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that this legend is still making awesome music more than 35 years after giving us "Never gonna give you up". Thank you Rick Astley.
Only Rick's voice got better :)
@@marcodeppe I like this song because of my specific tastes, haven't listened to his other songs but I do think his voice has improved.
From thinking I was gonna be rickrolled any moment now to being hit with the exact feelings I'm having about the world's current fast paced digitalisation I'm wow. This is amazing. We do need more songs like this. Let's take care of our planet and the connections we make. ❤

this is the NEW rickro ll
It’s real…. The sequel, the legend, the legacy. Rick Astley, never give up because none of use are going to run around and desert you. You’ve earned every once of respect and fame you have now. Please, continue rolling us Rick.

I looove the vintage 60s feel to this song. And wow, his voice as an older man definitely shines more in this song than I've heard in some of his later stuff. His voice is still HAWT, just in a different way than it was when he was younger. Amazing. :) His wife is blessed. Very cute story about how this was shot. And I love the sentiment of the song too (I have a lot of luddite sympathy).
I think Rick needs to do a full album. He still has the talent to knock it out of the park.
The full album is coming out October 6th, as a matter of fact - it's called "Are We There Yet?" It's linked in the lower part of the description of this video, and in the squares that come up at the end of the video - WOO-HOO!!! Get your pre-orders in, folks - let's give this LEGEND another much-deserved #1 album in the UK the following week!!! 😍😍😍

never gonna do a full album

I’m gonna start Rick rolling with this
Song is amazing though
I mean, he did give up on love once
He's never gonna give you and everyone else up
decades later and the man still has a god-tier voice, it is humanity's loss that he hasn't been recording albums this whole time
why everyone is trolling him so bad 😭 is it in retaliation

Can't stop listening to this. I'll never forget your voice, Rick. Thanks for visiting my community and answering questions (r/Music) today. All of our members really love you a lot.

This song is an actual banger. Talent never grows old.
I wish that were true, Meat Loaf and Elton John went to shit.
@@FithvialI would say it depends on the person, if you keep making music you lose that special thing eventually, if you take break for a couple years to gather your bearings and then you can continue making music that has the same special thing
Sorry if this is confusing, I couldn’t think of a better way to explain it
sure don't
His voice is amazing... I can't believe how well both him and his voice has aged. I hope when I'm old I'll be able to live up to what you've given us
hiya
his face, voice, and vocal tone has aged so incredibly well and it's so so rare for an artist to consistently create good music over such a long career - so many have lost themselves along the way but this solidifies rick astley as a complete legend in his genre
He kept his promise he never let us down
At First, he never gave up... now, he ain't gonna stop so easily...

I love the genuine feeling, and also the humor of the "Never gonna" fake out. Very well done Rick!
I get a mini heart attack each time he says "never gonna"
The original "Never gonna" was actually cut and pasted from Rick's best take, and it seems like the same technique was used in this song! It could even be the original recording slowed, but it's less artificial sounding than the original song, and maybe that's the point! 😮
For reals!
He never gave up on us. He never let us down.
He may look older now but his voice, his singing skills and his heart will always age just as fine like a fine wine, truly one of the most excellent English singers of all time. ✊🙏
