Alphaville - Forever Young (with lyrics)

[XxRandomxNamexX]

I may have stumbled across the only bunch of civil and insightful comments on the internet. 

[samerjam101]

this song reminds me of all the loved ones ive lost and all the time i spent with them. and all the time i lost with them

[purplemilk10]

i remember once in 5th grade my french teacher went to the computer room with us in the lesson on her birthday and showed us this song, saying it was her favourite song. back then we just listened to it and said, 'yeah, ok,' but now i see this and fall in love wiith it <3

[iwalktherain]

If there's ONE song that can make me cry...

[agentzero1]

Today I lost one of my childhood friends, and listening to this song just brings tears to my eyes.

R.I.P. Naqeeb

[yaoidemon101]

"Hoping for the best but expecting the worse." That line, that one line, says so much.

[55jubjub]

dude, remember when there were so many amazing singers with beautiful voices? these days when i turn on the radio its all this auto-tune crap. im sick of it.

[themightychickens]

@55jubjub Protip: Don't turn on the radio.

[AWESOME888ify]

humans may fade but an idea, a dream can last forever

[22latino]

I love the song and totally get the message but...

to me, this song will always remind me of my buddy who passed away.

[ImThaNub]

Damn, i might be too young for this song, but I do love it. I heard it on the radio a few days ago, and god, this is awesome. When i read all your comments guys, i wish i could live in your time, when everything was good. All those thumbs up, all those happy faces i see when listening to this song, this really makes me happy. this song tells me why I live <3

[willibaldvongluck]

So hauntingly beautiful perfect classic and timeless song. Thanks for posting.

[flyerscup08]

So happy and sad at the same time. Kind of feels like high school emotions. amazing regardless.

[thevitutus]

The song of my youth.

[goldfish633]

this song was suppossed to be our grad dance walkout ;]

[yynnmmbb]

This song really moves me but it makes me sad. The 80s life and music was awesome. I miss it sooooooo much. The best days of my life. I can't listen to this song without thinking about how life passes us by and we want to cherish our youth. Very easy to relate to the lyrics.

[MsiSkater]

My graduation song this year :DD 2011 Going for freshman year barely. . . Our second song is Waka Waka...WTF ?

[sanjica26111980]

great...

[sirap10117]

brilliant

[lllllll5s]

What a great song :)

[shadash10]

this amazing song will stay forever young

[sleepyTHC]

lmao they used this song for my grad

[PeaceLoveHapiness525]

this song played in my 5th grade graduation.

[stefhenhaires]

One of the best songs about nuclear war ever.

[Meteddica]

The reason the world sucks in 2011 is because all the planet's awesomeness was used up in this album.

[kamron4ul]

i love this song it reminds me of my friend who is 14 died yesterday in a wreck ;( R.I.P. Tanner

[FurryGir]

man i wish to find this version on 720p

not 240p

[themightychickens]

@FurryGir Yeah sorry about that, but HD wasn't supported by YouTube when I uploaded this.

[eriknilsson16]

@themightychickens Then upload a new version that supports 720p.

[themightychickens]

@eriknilsson16 This video has over 6 million views. If I simply uploaded a new one, how many views do you think I'd get? Hint: It'd be less that a thousand in 1 year.

[BrandonRHoang]

@themightychickens So you're doing this for views? Shame.

[themightychickens]

@BrandonRHoang Why would I upload something nobody would ever watch? I mean, come on now...

[JessechambersXD]

what a fucking classic :)

[robmah71]

forever young only reached 98 on uk chart in 1984...unbeliveable

[9999sotis]

the life is a gift we are given, my advice is to live your life, cause one day you wake up and realize that your life is over. live your life.

[themightychickens]

@9999sotis Well, technically speaking, one day you won't wake up at all.

[farlis92]

I remember one of my good friends introducing me to this song when we were 14 (now 20). We jammed hard we felt the song. My friend passed away 2 years, this song really touches a soft spot for me. R.I.P. Phil cya in another life bud :)

[rclikes2go]

Just wanna throw my hands in the air and live forever!

[Conradbrad1]

very good kinda makes you reminice very sad yet happy at the same time

[mcircle1]

i always think of my grandpa and the day he died because of cancer and i sang this song and i will always remember it

this is also the perfect fit for him : i love you pop pop:

[sd1333]

The O.C. =]

[Apokarimon]

Fucking love it! *_*

[ragnaroksbringer]

On 4chan, somebody posted a thread saying "3rd song on shuffle is your anthem in a zombie apocalypse". This was mine. I am completely okay with that.

Seems like 3:50 isn't long enough. This has the sound/format of a six-minute song.

[100EUROi]

Fuck yeah!

I love this song. I sing it when I'm sad and I feel like I'm growing up too fast.

[barbieorochimaru]

Always makes me smile... no matter how down I'm feeling. This and 'You're Beautiful' by James Blunt.

[Bowler4Ever]

This song is just absolutely magnificent. Forever Young...forever inscribed in our minds...forever beautiful.

[shadoh666]

they played this at my nephew-in-laws funeral yesterday.....R.I.P buddy

[Dudeamis]

Is this in a movie because it sounds really familiar in that way.

[themightychickens]

@Dudeamis It was used in Napoleon Dynamite.

[TheEuphorico]

@Dudeamis It was also used in Greek's final Season finale.

[FallenGodKratos]

Just saying, I understand you're annoyance with the comments, but don't use the word faggotry. It proves so many things about you, especially that you have no knowledge of the English language.

"Faggotry" is not a word.

[themightychickens]

@FallenGodKratos I see this is your first visit on the interwebs. Please enjoy your stay.

[FallenGodKratos]

@themightychickens That's my point. Don't say it, and if more and more people stop, we can end this.

[themightychickens]

@FallenGodKratos You don't seem to get my point. I basically just called you ridiculously ignorant of everything that has ever happened on the internet, even you should be able to realise that.

And why would I want to avoid using a word? Are you that frightened of the English language (it's slang) that you feel an urge to censor words that don't fit your tongue? What exactly is it with a such a harmless word that makes your blood boil to the point where you want to eliminate it entirely???

[FallenGodKratos]

@themightychickens The words that I want to censor are the homophobic, racist, and sexist ones. If you can't realize that, you are as much of an imbecile as you call everyone else who doesn't agree with you.

[themightychickens]

@FallenGodKratos You need to learn how to distinguish the meaning of words in different contexts...

In this context, it has nothing to do with homosexuality, not even close. It is merely there to strengthen my point, as most swears are.

Compare it to the word "Fuck". If I say "I fucking hate you", I don't mean "I have sex with you and hate you", the word Fuck is just there to demonstrate a case of seriousness in the sentence.

By the way, several of the comments I block are racist. Just saying.

[skateaddicts123]

is this the first original version???

[themightychickens]

@skateaddicts123 Yes it is. There are a few other songs with the name Forever Young, most notably by Bob Dylan and Rod Stewart, but they seem to have no connection with each other.

[youvector]

any one knows if there is a version of alphaville's forever young which the background music is nothing but the repeating of the music started on 2:51? i heard that version of local radio (lite.fm) but have no idea which mix is that...

[ianvc1]

Shows ur a true pussy when you lock comments that you disagree with and show the ones you like. I don't agree with that they say but come on freedom of speech. If your locking or removing them lock or remove them all don't be a little control bitch!

[themightychickens]

@ianvc1 There's a reason why there are no comments neither disapproving nor approving of Jay-Z's cover. Just saying.

Also, I could also just have removed your comment all together. I didn't. I think that kinda proves you wrong.

[LcoolJfiveoh]

when you realize how short life is and how fast you begin to fade away in age,

you have a better understanding of life and how to take it, enjoy it, and appreciate it with all its sad moments and frustrating time's along with all the adventures and happy time's

the young men who sang this song are now old men and they can no longer do the things they used to and they will continue to fade away like me, you, and everyone else

soon this comment will be at the bottom and out of sight :)

[valleta33]

justin biebers version is better lolololololololol

[lindainnocente]

I will NEVER get tired of listening to this awesome song! It's a classic!

[portishphonic]

has been my favorite song for a very long time...timeless perfection

nothing compares with 80's songs and nothing ever will

[NeshiaEP]

This song was our theme song my senior year in high school...danced to this song many many times.

[FILA22081989]

great song...when i was young....damn.,..:(

[zonkedforlife2]

this is music at it's peak

[RUDYNATACHA]

I like this version as well as Laura Branigan's version, which was my introduction to the song. I wrote some different lyrics to this same melody, which is timeless. Thanks for posting!

[odawg114]

dont forget rod stewarts version! ;)

[007BountyHunter007]

this song will never get old because it is forever young ;)

[LcoolJfiveoh]

when i listen to this song i think of being a kid at the highschool dance again haha,

dancing with the girls and worrying about things highschool kids worry about,

and it makes me realize that all those experiences now only exist as the past, the girls i danced with are now women, some are now fat and not quite as hot, some have kids, and a few are even dead :(

warm nights at the drive in movies are now only memories and i am now a grown man,

life is short,

[krommydos1985]

classic song. love it!

[crimson340]

thumbs up if axisofawesome brought you here ..

[Justlikanutha1]

Brilliant. Your comments at the start could apply to almost every comment ever posted on u tube. Nobody gives a flying about anyones opinion but people seem to see it a substitute for character or feel an achievement by association by what they claim to like and dislike. Bizarre. I was talking to a mate about one of the interesting sounds on a Who song and started ranting about how he hates CSI, for guds sakes!. Cheers again (thats my opinion anyway).

[3rkid2]

My favorite song.

Ever.

[cartman237]

I just love this song & this version. It is such an awesome song.

[discomjim]

brilliant, thanks. Takes me back to my youth!

[Bobthegamer1]

this makes me shed man tears

[goonsauce]

LOLZ 284 PPLZ ARE FOREVER OLD LOL AMIDOINITRITE?

[BlackRaven87]

Great song. Classic. Celtic Woman has done this song on their German CD of Songs from the Heart.

[pornpuki12345]

Yes i still remember this song. It is fantastic. It is forever green.Thanks mighty chicken for bring back the good momories.This songs will be forever young ! Thanks for retrieving the best songs.Enjoy it . Let get together and be forever young!

[Gmruleme]

So many songs we forgot to play.

[Tigermoon1950]

OUCH...that opening welcome message made me shit my trousers. Gotta go clean up now...later

[cardo1111]

Thanks for posting this lost gem of the 80's! I certainly appreciate this song more now than when it first came out and I was a teenager. From what I have read this song did not get the notoriety that it deserved in the U.S.

[adampatrech]

Ahhhh! When Alphaville first played this and I was 17, I believed I would be forever young - now I'm over two-and-a-half times that age and my eldest daughter is fast approaching 17.

[tabguy14]

God this song's fantastic. It's the perfect song for cruising, just laying back and chilling, or even dancing... holding your girl close. It doesn't suprise me that it's accumulated well over 4.3 million views, but I think it should at least be triple the views of... Well, I guess I won't mention him for your sake, themightychickens... Thanks for the upload, man, you made my day!

[roflmaolol111]

haha fail u wrote "themightychicken" but your name is "themightychickens" lol

[themightychickens]

@roflmaolol111 Yeah, well, that was on purpose considering that I am not plural.

[bountyhunter40]

@themightychickens lmao (:

[BlueCanarh]

this song changed my life...I was very young when I heard it for the first time.

[themightychickens]

I may allow some comments every now and then, but since hundreds of retards didn't get the hint the last time I said "STFU ABOUT JAY-Z" I'll simply keep them locked.

Also, Youth Group made a great version, you'll like it if you like this one.

[elcondor1023]

i want to be forever young forever too!

[LocoFMMF]

Some people deserve to be forever young

[ILatinGirl]

Awwww i remember my old boyfriend kissed me when this song played.It was during the school dance.:)

[lordsybok]

reminds me of my childhood me at a local faire ....

[sandspoint]

Ah 1984 that music was the sound of the times. realy really good music on the radio people were happy but yes there was still tragedy the important thing is to be greatfulll for what we have not the things we dont.

[cheotsarang16]

Classic! 

[montecarlomick]

ironiclly the guys that sang this, are now old :-(

[TheDellanator]

@montecarlomick naw true :(

[themightychickens]

@TheDellanator Also, for crying out loud, stop feeding the trolls.

[themightychickens]

@TheDellanator It's the god damn internet, if you can't handle the trolls, then stay away.

If you're not on a social networking site like Facebook with people you actually know, then the internet is the wrong place to look for compassion. People die ALL THE TIME, if I were to grieve in every case, I'd be crying 24/7. Nobody here knows "Jack", hence why nobody really cares. Touching post and all, but nobody will remember it 5 minutes after reading it.

[TehBryanxx]

You are one mighty chicken! :D

[DJazz0147]

this song makes me think of this girl that im really close with and i always want to keep her in my heart (abbey)....... :D

[elmouhtaker]

yeah Sleep in peace ... friends for ever ...

c ya 

[shortandstrong]

nice man! for putting the lyrics on there. Very nice beat and not to mention lyrics> 80's babies !!!!!

[daddyfrankrocks]

one word sums up this song "Greatastic"

[mattezhackblip]

i remember the 80s when i hear this song .. i miss the 80s ..

[funnyblondechick]

the music level is really low

[AllardDuHamel]

great song !!!!

[katzenmulle]

This band is living in Münster, my neighbour city!!!! My friend met the singer in a supermarket... haha!!

[Darklink0094]

*Puts up a lighter*

[LilViEtStEpz]

276 people wouldnt care to get old and die.

[TheDellanator]

This song I dedicate to a boy that was in my school year level, he would go to band with me. Died 23/12/10. 2 days before christmas :/ Basically the whole of year 7 was really sad and devastated and shocked about this because we didn't imagine that this would happen to such a nice cheerful HAPPY boy. It was unfair really. He was only 13 and so am I and he died to young. You can shed tears that he is gone or you can smile because he has lived. R.I.P Jack :( cya on the other side

[killutilludi]

@TheDellanator i didnt know the dude who died jack maybe he lived for what hi9s time allowed for and he forfilled his reason who knows kinda sucks to hear people who dont forfill a full life may i pay my respects to jack who i never new in this life but who knows ill meet him when my time is here god bless

[BaseballStar2009]

@TheDellanator yo man im soooooooo sorry you make me cryyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[KILLERxMINDxTV]

@TheDellanator the most heartwarming yet saddest thing ever R.I.P jack idk u but u seem great.....

[TheDellanator]

@KILLERxMINDxTV thanks :) I didnt personally know him very well like we wernt friends but he was a really nice person.

[KILLERxMINDxTV]

@TheDellanator no problem this song naturaly made me cry and tht made me cry more but not with sadness but joy to see humans care for one another

[TheDellanator]

@KILLERxMINDxTV nawh yeah :( thats so true. but i wasnt even his friend and you can just imagine how his friends are feeling.. and his family. there planning his funeral on christmas day that made my christmas so much worse thinking bout that

[Jonathan95121]

sad 

[drunkenstick]

@TheDellanator man howd he die?

[TheDellanator]

@drunkenstick riding on his bike near a corner street and a truck ran him over :(

[Nouhaila407]

@TheDellanator First of all may he rest in peace brother. I only listen to this song since April when one of my best friends died. This was the very song he was singing in the very day he died in a recorded video that I can't help but replay. May all the lost loved ones rest in peace till we all meet together again.

[xDane]

@TheDellanator no one cares about your dead friend. I would like to dedicate this to all my living friend who are alive unlike your friend. enjoy going to band class alone

[jacobcameron111]

@xDane stfu you ignorant fag and grow a fucking heart

[luisp771]

@jacobcameron111 well said

[rwm28juni]

@xDane And why, exactly, would you say that? Of all the retarded comments I've ever seen, this is the worst. Try this: imagine you are in his place, and then imagine you read this comment; how would you feel? Also, learn to capitalise, and it's friends, unless you only have one friend (which wouldn't surprise me in the least, given your insensitivity), but then you'd have to rephrase your entire sentence. Your comment is just incomprehensible.

[CJS925]

@xDane

way to be a dick... and quite frankly by the amount of replies he got to his comment, many people DO care about his dead friend.

R.I.P. Jack

[w2kas]

@xDane

lol

[amazingal1000]

@xDane wow. wut a jerk

[Cod5wiiman50]

@xDane your probably some poor little faggot, who cant get girls or something :/ im so sorry. it must really suck to be you.

[xDane]

@Cod5wiiman50 trololololololololololololo you just made me day

[luisp771]

@TheDellanator that is some very deep stuff

[ruagangstanumber2]

@TheDellanator, that is very very sad, R.I.P. Jack. I <3 you, its so sad he died at such a young aged
