This was the first synthpop-song I ever heard. I was 11 or 12 years old and this was exacly the kind of music I had been looking for all my life. Still love it, 26 years on.
Los mejores de los 80 y los mejores de siempre, quien se puede resistir a oir solo una cancion y no seguir escuchando el resto del disco? y Afternoons in Utopia todavia mejor que este!!! GRANDES!!!
2:35 and on gives me goosebumps...absolutely amazing.....no thats something to dance to! wow!....at least back there, when all had an decent emotional intelligence, and girls were so so great, normal an cool ("cool" the word in it´s self).....i´ts all gone guys....oh gosh gosh....sniff....
I bought the album in 1984 (remember watching one of the videos' on Cia Berg's Bagen on telly) and I now have the cd version! I play it nearly every day, it's the best album I'll ever own!!
no hay nada como haber estado en esta maravillosa epoca de los 80... aquellos que la recuerdan estaran de acuerdo que fue la mejor epoca .. no hay ni habra mas ..............
Such an original sound, my wife managed to get the best of (import) disc whilst on our hols in Belgium and it is absolutley ace,love this track and so many more of theirs.
This song is absolutelly brilliant. The lyrics, the music, the production, the David Bowie-sqe vocals in the beginning, the violin section in the bridge. 10/10. Thanks for uploading.

Eu curto pra caramba o grupo alemão alphaville. Em especial 3 músicas que são a big in japan, sounds like a melody e forever young. Essas músicas da década de 80 são bem melhores que as atuais. Também não sei se este grupo já veio fazer algum show no Brasil?... Definitivamente, pra mim, essas músicas da década de 80 são muito boas e especiais. Provavelmente deve existir algum fã club deles no Brasil, não?
We are the same age, and my feelings are exactly the same about this track and the band! I'm from England, and my friend from Munich introduced me to the Forever Young album in 1989 and the rest is history :-)
Other than Joy Division et al, Alphaville had the only lyrics I could sing along with in my own (low) vocal range. If it weren't for Alphaville I would have sunk into the pit of San Francisco Bay Area depression-inducing pop radio of the 80's. Alphaville: Thanks for rescuing me from the Smiths, Depeche, etc.! Thanks to you, I didn't feel the need to wear black clothes or goth makeup. ~ES
Sounds like Peter Steele in the beginning.
