Youth Group - Forever Young (Live ARIA Awards 2006)

[N0va19]

First song me and girlfriend danced to when we met four years ago. It's always gonna be special for me.

[jackskafka]

Sorry I don't want to stay young.. I want my life to move on, having wife and family, grow old, every moment in bliss, Die in smile like all human should be! pray for me man.. hehe.. yeah!

[tekNiqueAU]

@jackskafka hey thats cool man. yea we got a mature, same time need to remember that youth spirit

[dabsdyldo]

Who are the dudes with long hair in the first 0:01?

[NathanBertram1]

wow this song brings back memories :) it was the song played at my year 7 graduation, i can't believe my school life is nearly over only 4 days left of school for good :'(

[GodOvEpicness]

my 3rd favourite version

[rachelrachirox]

i love at 2:50 when the band just belts out this whole thing it is really beautiful

[IhateZ3r0]

I think that at 2:50 Patrick remembered when he was with that Highly Evolved band.

[giangietto]

I love you

[pearljam3077]

they're good, but it's still a cover.

[iksander95th]

We sung this song at my graduation. Halfway through, all of us started crying as we realized life would never be the same.

[danwildspirit]

best than the original

[karrabazz]

As for me It doesn't matter whose version is better, I don't know why but every time I hear this song I'm crying ((( Life is very short .......Do not forget about it .....

[skatertumen]

Офигительная песня)

[Vash87Ct]

love it <3

[keswin3350]

I don't know why but every time I hear this song, it's got me singing along !

[Sherry1092]

alphaville is way better.

[fishandfestival]

I much prefer this version of the song to Alphaville's...It's not often that the cover is better than the original, but, in this case it is...Also, a song is a song and it doesn't matter who did the orignal version...What matters is who does the best version of the song, because in order to give a song, particularly a great song, the power that it needs to move people in a positive way, the singer has to be as good or better than the song...

[EPICBD]

that sounds terrible. Its so faded and weak

[TheBrendog101]

@EPICBD i agree this version has alot more feel to it



[echoholder]

my best m8s bro got cremated to this song wen he died @ age of 40 :(

[mk51791]

2006 was the best year of aria ever! also got to hear pete murray and john mayer play opportunity

[coffindancer07]

sounds weak

[robi2000]

they do a great version of this for sure

[808mobster]

ja-z one is way better

[Affenhaug]

@808mobster come on you have no taste in music!

[nightshade44637]

rare for a band to sound awesome live. Love this song.

[themanfromparis]

the difference to the original:

the drama and the destiny in the orig is born from power and fire, which is the better way, working with the contrary. herem the sadness is spoken aout one to one, directly in the sadness, it means causing tears by shedding tears, which is a method of the soap operas, ot he earstern culture. marians voice is biting, thrilling - this voice makes want to moan, to sleep, takes my energy away. grade: D

[neveronyx]

What is this? Fucking Jonas Brothers? Forever young babaaayy...

[thecomfortisnow]

@neveronyx heck no!!!!!!! do not even compare bro......or sis.

[ribbithead]

not knit picking but the second time he said forever young sounded a bit high and well, its just got that tone i dont like, liked the original

[123456mote]

i like jay-z and Mr.hudson version better than alphaville and youth group there versions sucks

[refo1992]

fuck jay-z -.-"

u don't know what music means

[TheOriginalBrett610]

Worst thing I've ever heard! Definitely not better than Alphaville, grow some ears!

[1311107]

I like the way youth group sings this song in his album not live. They do change it when they sing it live sounds way better recorded.Awesome song...

[wrxnevereverforever]

@1311107 yeah ,i like the album version than the live,but the best alpjaville .

[wrxnevereverforever]

@1311107 i like the album version than the live,but the best alphaville .

[jalsang]

excellent live performance of an excellent song

[chicagobearsballin]

That almost rock version is neat

[str1ver777]

My preference in music is RnB and soul, but I wouldn't think twice about listening to a rock song, not even once more so. This song is great.

[rselvanathan]

its a good cover, but i think the original is still the best.

[Krazio1]

@rselvanathan i personally think that youth groups version is better

but then again i am probably younger than you and it differs in era's

[SilverKiddd]

music's for the sad man..

[rohaihuparaguay]

There is a short story by Jorge Luis Borges about a group of immortal beings. After living for so long, they already went through ALL possible experiences, they eventually all evolve into vegetative beings for lack of further interest. At the point they are found by the narrator they only grunt, don't even speak anymore. It makes you think of the true meaning of Forever. When you begin thinking about infinities, you'd be surprised at the conclusions you get to.

[tekit2007]

they covered 1 song then dissapeared

[sherwoodd1]

they never disappeared, if people just listen to all their other songs you will realise that they are one of australia's underrated bands. which is a shame. for example that Daisy Chains song should be a world wide hit.

[lastoneoutband]

@sherwoodd1 their whole skeleton jar album is amazing. they should definitely known world wide.

[u2bad1989]

how do you know he killed himself to this song? did he put it in his note? weird. Im sorry if that's true :(

[That70sShowRocker73]

It is originally by alphavile (MUCH BETTER), but it was um... ok

[ajscotland2]

steve my brother killed himself to this song

[JOnathanCharrier]

that was pretty stupid of him

[jayyfan]

@ajscotland2 he has good taste in music

[Alesici87]

Why so much vulgarity?

[Steveyy999]

wtf? I don't know what's more fucked up, the fact that you took the time to write that shit, or the fact that I read it. How about this, why don't you go have a cup of shut the fuck up?

[Michiidlx]

ich liebe es

[Eiblis12]

i friggen love this song

[herworld1788]

OkRoyBand, the guitar he is playing is a Fender Telecaster, or a variation of the Telecaster

[OkRoyBand]

Can anyone tell me what guitar the lead singer is using please? Thankyou

[Perfect5th]

Looks like a Fender Thinline.

[billygimp]

Fender Telecaster thinline 72'

[M1n3m1N3]

woah is this the bennies ok roy?? :L

[OkRoyBand]

Yes it is why?

[M1n3m1N3]

i loved you guys at bennies (Y)

[OkRoyBand]

thanks. Who is this?

[Zakbarbar]

the singer of this version has much weaker voice than in the original. so when he sings the FOREVER YOUNG it's weak. thats just my opinion....

[DiscoCamel]

this is a great cover........but the original will be the best forever

[africavictoria]

dont know what to tell u, i respect your opinion, but this cover is a hundred times better than the original version, youth group play it better than alphaville, big time

[DiscoCamel]

scratch what i said this is a good cover....jay-z cover was great....but the original is the best

[Steveyy999]

that may be true, but any schmuck can cover a song if they want to. It takes true talent to write a good song.

[sherwoodd1]

@africavictoria agree

[nochio23]

@africavictoria There's no feeling in it... the singer is so monotone it's crazy..

[The751]

@africavictoria Its actually the exact same tuning, just Youth Group is more clear because it was done in a different time.

[themightychickens]

@africavictoria Alphaville's version wasn't the original, you know.

[kleinerb92]

@themightychickens alphaville's version was the original

[Ollster]

shame this bands best song is a cover

[cacticrisis]

@Ollster you should listen to their song Lillian Lies, it's amazing :)

[supremeteam12345]

@Ollster

jimi hendrix best song was a cover of... all along the watchtower..sooooo errm yea

[MAGICK008]

everyone have their own opinion but the fact is that alphaville has made it and "youth group" can't take credit for that :)

[77sigmundfreud]

ALPHAVILLE for ever!What's this shit?

[Tom090592]

I didn't like it. this asshole changed all the tone and pace of the song. Anyway in their clip the song looks great.

[Velasangrienta]

BRAVO !!!!! por siempre FOREVER YOUNG

[thefallguyusa]

You might also like Ella's version:

[totalscp]

great great song. One of my favourites.

the music makes me be sad. I don't why...

[eldiran2]

I think the melody, especially, and chorus, are terribly bittersweet---makes you a sort of happy/sad.....and reminds you that there is Something still to be done.....

But, I think the original does have more impact--it is sort of unearthly, and pushes you into the mystical realm where this song has the most impact.

[LEO1WOLF]

Please post your EXACT comment on the Alphaville's video - - truer words have not been spoken my Friend.

Be SAFE, Be WELL - - Peace To ALL. . .

-Lone Wolf

[bordu19]

great

[rafamiarami]

my favorite song.... it's a song differently than alphaville.... but seems better.... a new version for the young public ;D

Brazil rocks!

[SardaukarNo1]

the original's so much better. singing gayer is not singing better.

[meowdog]

everyone has their own opinions

[lasfinisimas]

What are you talking about??? There's nothing gayer than Alphaville!

[SardaukarNo1]

you mean, besides yourself.

[gothix114]

lol owned.

[94PedroAlves]

LOOOL!

HAHAHAHAH

[murphicus]

Boy George? The Village People?...

[lasfinisimas]

Hahaha...guess you're right!

[55longboard55]

he reminds me of Noah, the dude who took picture of himself everyday for 6 years, and he keeps on going!

[mickharharhar123]

these guys have 2 fricken good albums skeleton jar and casino twilight dogs are mad albums give them a listen

[lakai6o6]

I love the song is sung differently than Alphaville, but also sung with more feeling .... love it ;)

[burnner25a]

Bring back ALPHAVILLE. someone please teach these young people how to sing and play an unforgettable song properly. my ears still hurt. I can't stop crying from the sadness I feel about how this great song has been so badly degraded.

[6yrarayxaxa]

Oh yes! It is the very good song! I really like it =)

I know it from the O.C =)

[guitarerwan]

ESTO ES UN TEMAZO...!!

Forever young, I want to be forever young,

Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever...

ES QUE LA ESCUCHAS UNA Y OTRA VEZ Y NO TE CANSAS

[ozlala82]

I love this song

[multiplyer99]

you need to listen to the words not just the beat words are touching

[lilmissMama7]

They are, I love this song. I;m probably the only 13 year old who knows it though!, BTW when did this come out?

[dazerlee]

is he pissed sounds like he dont give a shit what his singin sounds like

[5478229]

Being a Live version I understand that they would have wanted to do something to make it "special". However, Syncapation has been used poorly more times than it has been used correctly.

I may be wrong but the singer also sounds out of tune to my ears.

The singer also makes "s" sounds that i find a little annoying at the end of certain words.

And the song begins to speed up and go out of time at around 2:33, it may have been intended to be a crecendo like point, but it was poorly executed

[bradleyd22]

poorly executed. wtf? it was soo good.

[5478229]

If you compare this version to the non-live version, you will notice that in the non-live version the tempo is consistent, however in the live version, the crescendo is poorly executed due to the fact that the musicians speed up and increased the tempo.

Also I would like to note that at 2:47 when the singer sings the word Forever before they break into an instrumental bridge, he moves his mouth away from the mic before he finishes singing the word and you can only hear "Fore"

[shinobirocker]

That may be true, but they're still better than most bands are when they play live. And it's hard to find bands that play good live nowadays.

[northcountrybhoy]

heaps of good live bands these days! have you seen muse live? i could start listing great live bands for you if you want?

[rubenuclear]

i loved that it gives that moment a personality and it makes extremly real he goes away and the whole band moves in front.Fantastic. I dont know if it was intentionaly but waht i know is that i love that part in 2:47

[nedwarp]

for a live version, better than i was expecting

[bradleyd22]

they are definately amazing live

[BALLIE8]

alphaville version..to me sounds crap. i like this version way better

[fjelldal1971]

I think he sings like he takes a dump!! fucking ruining the original

[ceskokaki93]

il cantante è un rimasto..U_U

però è una bellissima canzone questa.

[dannywildvid]

Hippies fuck off your name is acidhead!

aussies make the BEST music

[acidheadx]

Fuck Aussies make the shittest music Alphaville are much better than this piece of trash.

[spizdogg]

fuck off u ugly cunt

[acidheadx]

this version sucks I want these hippies to fall off stage and never play again

[aaronsworldz]

great cover

but the lyrics make the song

[hornyoldman69]

the vines are better, patrick is an idiot

[Sydneysun22]

that is NOT true!!!!!!!

[EncinoLIVE]

wow, i really do want to be forever young... life sucks

[jamesslow]

Why they don't singing the last verse??

[kike1992mateo]

i love the songin the oc but they suckplaying the same on live

[lolipops5]

No they don't suck. You have to feel the music, feel the words and feel the way they sing and then you will change your opinion.

[Sydneysun22]

my favourite band for life!

[minicliptube]

thanks!

[iamalexandra]

something beautiful =)

[futurespy007]

[hotaze3480]

[nndyo]

[ahmetsinem]

[jordanmary]

definate chills at 2:45 :)

[lilianlies333]

I know exactly what you mean :)

[nanikasound]

This is so fucking good i love youth groups version of this song! and the guitar sound and the drums is so make for this song in this moment!:D

[JayTeeRocks]

Dude, lower the guitar a bit.

[JayTeeRocks]

Still, an amazing song though.

[TwiceShyBabe]

superb...I love this song even as a Grandmother it makes me feel young again

[patrickf90]

that was fucking great

[007nikola]

this verson is better then the 80's 1 but eaither way i love this song :]

[kemplenk]

is it possible to "do kloning"........????

:)

[freecool]

I Love that song but that performance wasn't good

[bradleyd22]

the performance was awsome

[karatekidarta]

gamioyntai ta papakia!!!!!

[igbyboss]

i think there's an old version.. but from who??? are they old band, makin comeback or what??? are they aussies to explain?????

[GnRSlashVR]

OMG...

This is a cover of Aphaville's Forever Young (it was a hit in the 80s).

[igbyboss]

i am sooo right.... that's why i'm confused.... it suppose to have one verse like :

" So many adventures couldn't happened today,

So many songs that we forgot to play,

So many dreams swimming out in the blue,

Let them come true "

[Promovisual]

the 80 version is much better but hold on.. is this classic music or just new or that the old classic video of the 80 is a come back? it says new on video hits.. so i wonder if the video and song is new.. sounds more classic when i see the skaters.

[igbyboss]

it's a new one!!!!

[3E3E3E3E3E3E3]

amazing

[amy3love]

i just cried. love the song so much it is very uplifting. nah it blew away the old one.
