Is this song about nuclear holocaust? It's like remembering kids that died at a young age (from nukes), in a sense, forever young. Sad but happy memories of remembering someone always as a young person. Kinda poetic tragedy in a sense. Beautiful song. It probably could be studied in a college course or high school much like a Dillon song.
Great song...and great vocal..but that is one seriously UGLY mofo singing it...I mean that face should be frightening these kids outta their wit's,not following him like the Pied Piper.....and that smile he gives at 2:20 is pure pedophile...ewww!!!
how come most todays songs are so fake but the 80's songs have true tallent but what makes them unique is that time of songs will never come again and that time flew by so fast in those times but todays songs have special microphones that make those untalented singers sound ''better'' todays songs are fake and thats how you can tell tallent from fake,LISTEN TO 80'S MUSIC
this song reminds me of my loving dad :( he is on a cruise now with my mum and he showed me this song and cuz he did that he reminds me cuz he showed me this song im almost crying :(
@caronthegerman, that was the magic of the 80's. Any group could shoot the weirdest or crappiest video and still be popular. we did not care back them so much about marketing or segregating the styles of music. Artists also had freedom to sing any song any way they wanted. NOT ANYMORE, THE MUSIC MAFIA RUNS THE BUSINESS LIKE A RACKET OF CRAPPY "MUSIC".
all you fuckin idiot that say Jay-Z suck you need to fuck off cause if it wasnt for him alot of this generation would have never heard of Alphaville... just saying.... but i do like the orginal more
I really like the message of this song - the sorrow of growing older, but the question of whether remaining young forever is any better. Very good message and I love the lyrics (though they're not the best written I've ever seen - "I dont want to perish like a fading horse" :D).
I have to admit, though, that the lead singer kinda creeps me out... D:
@trenny4 i think this song is good in fact they both are ---btw i hate hip hop---- but this song is great in any genre by anyone who sings it it's just the lyrics feels your heart and makes you feel ___________ but thats my opinion respect yours
Jay-Z version has 43 million views, Youth Group 7 million views..and the original--->best one 100000 views...
what`s wrong with people nowadays??
