this song reminds me of my younger years. it really brought me tears because of the past. i love alphaville so much two thumbs up to all of you guys. a classic hit of the 80's.
this is my favorite song forever! the best song ever made! =D Alphavillle is great Frank Mertens is awesome =D love him! love Marian and Bernhard too of course =)
"Youths like diamonds in the sun, and diamonds are forever..."
Best song ever made. The lyrics are awesome and the music is godlike. Forever Young thats what i wamt to be. I hate growing older. Death i can accept but not fading away .
I havent seen a single 'live' performance clip where it isnt a lip sync...Maybe he didnt really sing the orginal? Maybe he is just the face. Can you say 'Milli Vanilli'?
So glad i watched Napoloen Dynamite and discovered this track ........ Now i love it ........ ! That lovely filtered sounding, echoed synth at the start of track and the melody are gorgeous x
much better than that Jay Z shit, but in the forever young by Jay Z, Mr. Hudson did a good job, but Jay Z just made it bad, if it was just Mr. Hudson it would have been good
This is the one I remember... the original 80's tune that wafted, ephemeral, onto the airwaves, then back off as delicately. I'm reminded of the movie, 'Legend', with Tom Cruise: was this song in that movie's soundtrack? This has to be one of the top 'I KNOW that song from somewhere' songs...
I did not this song existed till I bbc played on on new year's eve on frot of the eye of london where I was for the fire works..I just felt in love with song now I listened quite a few times
you should spend more time listening to the song and less thinking about it.
does it really matter if he sung it there or not? they were on stage, with their performance, makes no difference to me if it's playback or not. they made that song, no playback is gonna change that.
@Lifehunter1 I get you, but seriously, when I hear artist (that I like!) live I want him to sing/play for real, DAMN it does matter! I can listen to the studio version whenever I want, but when I'm coming to concert and buy a ticket, I want it for REAL!!!
As much as you would like to believe this is live it isn't, its too similar to the original. I mean, Bernhard Lloyd plays the drums for a bit, but then he doesn't. Perhaps Marian is singing it, but the music is not live. It's too perfect.
Music proves to be the best in the 1980s. I don't understand why these guys aren't in concert today. Music in the 1970s is nothing compared to the 1980s. The 1980s shall live on as the best music in my life and I'm only 30.
actually you got it wrong, NOW days performances are lip synced live, but back in the day, they actually sang. Michael Jackson, Pet Shop Boys, Phil Collins, i can name many more, lol
you can hear the echo, and the crack in his lips, the way he is spitting in the mic, its not lip synched, if you knew ANYTHING about that lol. I bet you think Michael Jackson lip synced also, lol.
stfu you come out so negative why dont u go and do wat i said. Are you a fucking homo . Listen to this and the studio version its the fucking same. Plus get a fucking job you lazy bumb
lol a 32 year old man that bang hott hookers? hookers are hott? Fucking disgusting man, you probably got some disease, like i said already...disgrace.
IT'S SO OBVIOUS THAT ITS A LIP SYNC...singer can be singing the song live while its playing but the MIC is off hence the spitting..otherwise the song is no different from the recording.
the 1980s was the best decade in my opinion even though i wasnt born that time it seem fantastic decade for football maradona coming to napoli and michael jackson the movies the songs the cartoons cocaine coming into america hip hop was staring to rise the clothes and all the famous singers and actors of that time in america
If you werent born in the 80's, then how do you even know cocaine was a big thing, lol. Youre my little brothers age, no need to be talking about drugs. =)
His name's Frank Mertens, and you're right, he's really pretty boy, I think the most handsome of all Alphaville members(and the youngest;). Unfortunately he left the band very early:( Alphaville forever!
i guess when you see all things in their place and their boxes for your sort anyone who falls short of that is creepy but as the years go by most people will see your sort as creepy unable to accept that humans have many faces not all of them tick everyones boxes
