  • HOW I USE TO DANCE THIS TUNE AL LOCAL NEW WAVE CLUBS . . .

    ALPHAVILLE FO RE VER . . . 

  • NIC PROSTRZEGO ZDARZYĆ SIĘ NIE MOGŁO.....

  • great work rose phantom

  • I think if someone isn't sweating, then they are either not having enough (fun) or not working hard enough!!! He can mix his sweat with mine anyday!!! Even now, he's still Yummy!!!!

  • i like this song but i just get grossed out when he says "your sweaty body". That phrase invokes imagery so vile and disgusting, I can't even describe it.

  • ich liebe es !!!

    

  • great, haunting opening, then the synthz kick in, and then the beautiful text. this songs really has beautiful lyrics. i can't believe this scene weren't released as a single from the ablbum, nor of course, does it have a music vid. but i wish it did, it would've been some dreamy sequences with scenes of it being summer in berlin. maybe i'm just fantasizing too much a little now. i def think of what a summer in berlin is like listening to this.

  • What can be said about this? One of the FUCKING BEST bands of all time, hands down. If you don't agree you must be dead!!

  • Great voice, great song :)

  • summer in Berlin. summer in Berlin! ooh oh, it's alright. it's alright. it's alright... the heat of the sun which is stored in the pavement feels so fine. it's alright... here stands the innocent and there it comes oh, so wild. that's when you're longing for a summer by The Wall.

  • ALPHAVILLE FTW

    YEA!

  • i love this song it is my favorite

  • Takiej muzy już nie będzie. Pozostały wspomnienia...

  • I'm so Mesmorized by the Brilliance of Alphaville. Singer Marian Gold you have that Voice that can't be Equalled.

  • Simply wonderful. Thank you, Alphaville!

  • @TheKwatch  Very well stated my friend! Indeed I concur with you !

  • It takes me back to the time in which I felt love. Being loved and love my GF.. Now, I feel like "those moments are lost in time like tears in rain...."

  • It takes me back to the time in which I felt love. Being loved and love my GF

  • A very nice piece of art work!

  • no, it's not all right

  • 80's music live forever!

  • yo me corro con este grupo, fale, sí este grupo es lo máximo y la voz d Marian Gold hace q pierda la puta cabeza, lo siento, pero en q los 80 son una delicia sensorial q hace q prácticamente me corra, la putada es cuando se acaba la canción... y enchufo la mtv, entonces me quedo impotente perdido

  • Who the heck is Alphaville? I never heard of 'em in the US.

  • Und sie singen vom 17. Juni und meinen nicht nur die Straße.

  • nice..never coments

  • świetna muza...to były czasy!!!!

  • byl jsem u toho,díky!!!!

    (omg, I'm feeling so old right now xD)

  • excellente banda/great alphaville!!!! =)

  • The bass on this still sounds so tasty all these years later. Nothing has aged in this timeless track.

  • Don't you love it how some songs remain eternal ?

  • Please make a Video for us too

    Ian from The Prayer

  • Ich liebe dieses Lied! Und in Berlin habe viele Jahre gelebt.

  • I was born in devil red hot summer hellywood Vietnam

    If the Sun not shined for me, the Sun won't shine for anyone

    If the innocent cry like the river, the evil should cry like the ocean

    Peace never come to this world till everyone in the world learn to cry

    From the hellywood to the hollywood, from the homeless shelter to the White-house

    From the poorest to the richest on Earth, from the slaves to the King-the Queen

    The Moon cannot shine, sometime dark sometime light. There is no Mercy in the Moon

  • super!!!

    

  • super!!!

    

  • super!!!

  • well done

  • does anybody has a time machine ? i want to be there in 1984!

  • Hi! This is one of the most beautiful songs in 80's , about me i have special memories with this amazing song, now i share it on my facebook wall if you please! thanks a lot....................

  • Ja da gab es die Mauer noch und die Welt war in Ordnung !

  • @nurhabibi46

    hallo ewiggestriger, hast du die mauer gekannt? weißt du wie es war? ich mußte zu der zeit "dienst leisten", das war überhaupt nicht lustig. wer sowas gut findet hat mal eine lektion in geschichte nötig. die opfer der mauer und des kalten krieges würden sich im grab umdrehen, angesichts solch dämlicher stammtischparolen. geh doch die rechten wählen, die haben auch jede menge solcher sprüche und einfache lösungen für komplexe probleme. oder besser: fang mal an zu denken!

  • @jutjubism : meine volle Zustimmung

  • @nurhabibi46 : Was bist du denn für einer??? Schon mal drüber nachgedacht warum es die Mauer gab??? Sicher nicht. Ohne den 2. Weltkrieg hätte es diese nämlich nie gegeben.Aber wahrscheinlich warst du zu der zeit nicht mal "Deutscher Staatsbürger" ,da du von deutscher Geschichte anscheinend keine Ahnung hast!

  • @hfcfannr5 RICHTIG geraten !!! Zu ,,der Zeit,, war ich gerade Eskimo !!!

  • @nurhabibi46 : war mir doch klar

  • I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! THEY ARE SIMPLY AMAZING!

  • dieser Song ist einfach geil!

    Marian hat so eine klasse Stimme, mit der er

    die Stimmung auf den Punkt bringt

  • Great song and great video! So sad they usually only play the same three songs by Alphaville on the radio (Big in Japan, Forever young and Sounds like a melody). There are so many more nice songs to be discovered. Thanks for posting them on youtube and for creating these great videos! 80'ies music forever!

  • I can't beleive it . I live in Europe and I loved them that was a long time ago . I was bored and punch that on my iPhone and guess what . Dam I can't believe I listen to that but well , good memories . Peace.

  • Summer in berlin....uhuhuuhuhuhu!!!!

  • So so great to revisit this very original clip from vid master The Rose Phantom. How wonder how Mr Newsom is doing nowadays ...

  • you made this music video? amazing work, god damn.

  • beautiful song and video :D

  • Cover videos of 80's masterpieces are plenty available here (mostly bad) but your work really stands out: art direction, images, effects etc. You are a great artist. Congrats from Brazil.

  • alphaville's very best song...even 20 years later

  • One should be in Berlin and listen to this song to get the real feeling. Berlin is a fantastic city. Uber alles Deutchland!

  • I love Alphaville :-)))))))))))

  • Ta róża jest dla Ciebie Jolu...Ziółek 

  • COOL SONG.

    its alright alright......

  • Bardzo przeżywałem tę płytę w roku 1986, gdy się właśnie dostałem do liceum i byłem na wakacjach w Kołobrzegu.

  • I love this song, reminds me of the old school times

  • Sounds very New Wavish. Hearing this is like hearing Trent Reznor of NIN's first project "The Exotic Birds". The Yin to your Yang to put it philosophically. Glad to see you have versatility in this fashion.

    ...You know, I'm captivated once again. Do you have subliminal messages in your songs that keep me wanting more? If this is on your own merit, you have a fan for life. I mention subliminal messages in jest of course... Consider me a thrall of The Rose Phantom!

    おもしろいです!

  • This guy looks like Alan Wilder (DM).

  • i am never bored to listen to alphaville,s songs.

  • what a band !!

  • nice one

  • One of the best 80s band. They didn't long for some reason though and they were underrated even for their little material.

  • you are really into smashing, aren´t you? very 80´s indeed, love your artwork

  • @ariengirl - I was really into 'Smashing' (with a sledge) back in those days. There is just somthing about how it is used to marry sound w/ image. Thanks for watching.

  • ... mein Lieblingssong von ALPHAVILLE ...

    ... ich dachte nicht das so viele Leute das Stück kennen!?

  • @TIKIMAN198 Go screw yourself dammit... What you listen to right now is "krout music". 49 millions of american residents have roots in Germany.... moron. Such comments are older than dirt.

  • @TIKIMAN198 I just finished listening to this song, liked it so I scrolled down to see other people's point of view, I saw all these wounderful comments until i see...a comment that was unbeleiveibly prodigious. What was going through your mind when you wrote that, It amazes how shallow a person could be. He post's a comment in german, so that must make him a krout...yeah why don't you do us all a favor and learn some cultural diversity. Honestly, if you can't listen to 80's music without this..

  • @zane675 I'm flattered you would write such a long paragraph about me....your sexy.

  • @TIKIMAN198 I beleive that it was worth it. I beleive that the 5 minute's i took out out of my day was well spent, I wrote that not for you, on the contrary, i wrote that to combat your spiteful brash racial slur. You had no right to make such a remark against someone who did nothing but speak a language other than your own...If you think otherwise, than you my friend need to do some serious thinking about your ethic.

  • one from the best ...................

  • one from the best...................

  • AMAZING !!!!!!! I LOVE YOU ALPHAVILLE

  • the beginning...the beginning.. it grabbed me

  • ISSO É MUITO MAS MUITO LEGAAAAAAAL MESMO ,teve um dia de sol que eu comprei um balão de gas em forma de coração la no shoppig e ai eu soutei ele com um bilhete ;, meu nome ,nome da minha filha , telefone nome da minha ex mulher , ele viajou 9 horas, ele foi souto na mooca as 8 horas da manhã e caiu em uma fazenda em S/ JOÃO DA BARRA , e me ligaram as 16 :30 minutos foi muito emocionante mesmo .

  • @therosephantom Thanks for letting me know. Still, for some reason, the version on your video upload sounds so much better than the original one. But you say it is the original, so I guess I will have to download it because it is a great song.

  • @therosephantom Great job! Just one question: since I adore what you have done with this superb song, tell me how can I get this very version? It is not on itunes. Please, if someone knows this, share ! Thanks!

  • the best way to download this mp3 from youtube is to google mp3iiiiify.

  • What a great song! The vocals, the orchestration, the lyrics, the sound, all show such level of creativity and talent.  ALPHAVILLE 4EVER. 80's music 4EVER.

  • @eurodishco Really nice comment, I totally agree with you!

  • Great. One of the best groups of the 80's.

  • @MyMadonna123 Totally agree with you!

  • Oh my...I'm shivering. I was in Berlin during Mauerfall event last year and now this song brings back those moments.

  • Great job....very talented

  • perfect!

  • nice job

  • escriban en castellano o inglés la puta madre que los parió!!!

  • mam 41 na karku i chowałem się na tej muzie , więc uwielbiam ich .

    Są the best offffffff

  • kocham ich i kocham Berlin:-)

  • a ja 20, wiec gdy ta piosenka wyszla, nie bylo mnie jeszcze na swiecie- a i tak mi sie podoba ;)

  • ja tesz, I ja tylko 17.

  • so good song!

  • Ja 37 i hopla na punkcie lat 80-tych

  • I just love this song and Alphaville.

    There are so many few bands that could put on the top so many great songs, as Alphaville did...

  • This sing is sooo cool, I don't know why it wasn't more popular. It just sounds so good.

  • Ja też... i mam 38 lat.

  • beautiful song

  • ja mam 38 i nie mogę zapomnieć tych lat

  • A ja mam 38 i też trochę, tak jak Ty...

  • But the video still seems like something Alphaville would've made.

  • bien alphaville linda camcion me gusta mucho tus camciones

  • Well done video to a great song!

  • lovely, really nice.

  • Always great to revisit this clip.

  • Cudowne stare dobre czasy ..................5/5

  • @ggosia3a

    jakie tam stare....

    to wszystko było wczoraj....i jeszcze dzwięczy w uszach radosny śmiech....

  • fantastic.

  • !ESTUPENDO!

  • i love this song

  • thank you for all your effort bitte ein bit!

  • A perfect Popsong - love this one for so many years.. it is so fine and subtile.

  • What a sound, what a use of synths, bring back the 80's.

  • muy buenos ,, esto es musica con estilo jajaj

  • Perfect !!!

    Anaconda69 from "Prayyer"

    we are 80s act with videos, too...

  • Strong Vid!

    Looks very professional.

  • couldn't resist to hear it couple of times....always my favorite

  • heavy machine is this melody

  • Very well done video. original.

  • Hello Rose Phantom ...

    Nice to hear from you again. I have listened to the entire Sacrifice Season, and can now say with absolute certainty that it sounds EXACTLY like Depeche Mode. If the female vocalist with you in the vid was absent, I'd swear it was Dave Gahan. A HUGE compliment thrown here to you !! Your look however is that of The Cult's singer. Again, a compliment.

  • Oh for crying out loud, dianalenart, are you so predictable ? Cut Ted some slack, dammit !

  • Because I don't live in Berlin, and I'm not Marian gold. This is a fan video. Check out the info on the video.

  • Ok,thanks.Where is Marian now?

  • Had a brief listen to Sacrifice Season. Listening to its intro, there is a lot of Depeche Mode in it. Very alternative. Interesting ...

  • Well don't just listen to the into...you've gotta hear the entire song. Let me know what you think, ok?

  • What an HONOUR to finally get to communicate with you, Rose Phantom. I recently listened to AlphaVille's amazing "Return to Paradise" song, a + 7 minute song very Simple Minds-like.

    I should compliment you on the sound quality of your songs. I play your postings on my hi-fi. There is nothing more to say about your vids. They are PERFECT. Greetings from sunny South Africa.

  • This Rose Phantom fella has done AlphaVille and AlphaVille fans alike proud. THIS is how I remember the 80's. Rose Phantom, give us a sign that you are still around, please !! Damn, this song is good. Forever an AlphaVille fan.

  • I am still around. I just do music vidoes for my own music now. My new video is called "Sacrifice Season" check it out (its on my page)!

  • It reminds me of Anton Corbjin's work, but you've done a superjob with this! I'm a big fan of synthpop. First time when I heard Alphaville, back in 1998 when my mom and dad played "Sounds like a melody" - I was in love in the music!!

  • Man reminds me on my childhood

    Get goosebumbs everytime

    This and Depeche Mode my absolute FAVOURITES!!!!!!!

  • Same here, I can just remember those summer with no problems

  • Look 2youngbutcrazy, this is not about intelligence quotients. The thing is, artists in the 80's invested in synthesizers, keyboards, guitars, drums, and KNEW how to make music back then. Today, like in the 90's, it is mostly garbage. There really is no talent. AlphaVille not only played synth music, but then went acoustic in '89, that is how versatile they were. Take care.

  • Good Work

  • speeking2u, or should I call you Maggie ?

    For a German, you sure lack intelligence.

    Lady, you should not be on You Tube. Stay rather in the kitchen and bake cookies for your kids. That is, if you can have kids ...

  • @cytotoxix wow thats an interesting life you are describing here, but i dont know how to make cookies. But.... I´m sure you do know how to make chocolate pralinès.

  • The problem with Americans is simple : they are full of themselves. WHERE are the Grammy awards for THIS band, the undisputed kings of synth ?? Did Queen ever receive Grammys ?? No. Vangelis ?

    No. U2 did, simply because they are politically correct, supporters of terrorism, and the Irish-American factor. This for me, is unacceptable.

  • @cytotoxix shut the f* up c.y.t.o.t.o.x.i.x.!!!

  • @cytotoxix

    fuck america, owerwight fuckers listinging to crap music. Everyone who i know and likes AV and synthpop have like 140 iq.

  • not official video?oh man ,mega good work,take care

  • ooops,BeAutiful scenes and colors :)

  • good video...this song is great

  • Ich habe Berlin sehr gern ! Ich wollte dabei die letze Wochenende ¨für das Mauerfest sein ! Ich bin Französin aber habe ich Deutschland im Hertz ! ich habe viele Deutschefreunde und bin ich stolz darauf !

    Lieber gruss aus Franlreich !

  • year summer in german

    weil ich mir keinen urlaub leisten kann xD

  • absolutely UNREAL synth programming and MIDI sequencing. . . .all these trance and techno guys these days aren't EVEN this creative. . .a phenomenal composition indeed. . . . . .

  • Dann mach doch nen "Traumurlaub"... XD

  • Ja genau, um die Ecke beim Türken, auf einen Döner xD~

  • Zum Beispiel. Ich sach immer, ich mach einen Traumurlaub, weil ich mir einen richtigen nicht leisten kann...^^
