    This is a prime example of why the 80s is considered the best decade for music. So much variety in music and so much talent. It's a culmination of the two decades before, which were also excellent for music. The 80s will never die.

    I was in my early 20’s when this song came out in the 80’s (huge hit). I still love this song and in my head and heart I don’t feel any older than I did the first time I heard it. My body may disagree but the rest of my understands & lives this beautiful message.

      ​@@birgittcohrs7517Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊 Oh, great, Germany, the Kingdom of EDM. No other country distributed so much to electronic music, starting from 70s till now. For me, Alphaville is the peak. I love Scooter too, but their songs are covers and samples, not genuine as Alphaville's. Purple Disco Machine makes such bangers now.

    This song brings back the feelings we all had during the cold war. It was a dark desperation where we hoped we would live to see ourselves grow old. The world was on edge and the Soviets had boycotted the 84' summer Olympics, the same year this song came out.

    To answer your question... would I want to live forever ? the answer is NO. I like this sentence from Mae West " You only live once, but if you do it right, one is enough". As for getting old, it is simply how you see yourself. You are only the age you want to be. Some people are old at 20, or not even old, simply dead inside. I also always liked this sentence from Dune from Frank Herbert. "My minds control my reality", and believe me, it is true !

    I was 18 , maybe 20 ( 83 85?)when this song came out in France, I had no idea It's poetic and very well written. At the time, new wave was a movement that was doing a lot of things I wasn't aware what it was about but I really liked it. I've just seen the translation of. It .made young people aware of the world in a rather sad way. I didn't know they were German.

    sooner or later the human race will be able to defeat aging thanks to scientific research. Probably the man who will live more than 1000 years has already been born. It would be nice to always be 25 years old, live for millennia and never grow old. Unfortunately, I was born too early to see and benefit from this miracle of science. However, this beautiful song reminds me of my carefree adolescence.
