  • Hi there - do you have the film?

  • I would love to have the lyrics or cd of this version; is a soundtrack or DVD of this 1983 UK "Forever Young" available anywhere...not the Mel Gibson one...thank you

  • It was a Channel 4 production, only shown on TV. I have never been able to find on CD.

  • Ich war 1 Mal in Stromness, und beim rückweg haben wir ganz Schottland genauestens angeschaut. Seit dem ersten Tag an dem ich da war, hab ich mich in die Natur verliebt, es ist einfach hammer dort...

  • I last heard this 27 years ago, when I saw the film on TV. It has stayed with me ever since, and I never thought I'd get to hear it again. I noted down part of the lyrics then, and only tonight did it occur to me to search YouTube for it. Thanks for aking it available here.

  • I have been searching for this song for YEARS!!!!  I saw the film as a kid ... thank goodness for youtube! :)

  • great and lovely song !

  • thankyou ray , the beautiful song is powerful enough to send me right back to my memories , never forget asking for a copy of it in the record store & being surprised to see it was by "dylan" so disapointed when i got it home ! lol love j/r

  • Sorry, Jonny, It isn't possible to get a copy of the film at the moment. It was on VHS for a while, but they have all been sold, and it isn't available on DVD. The best I can offer is possibly a copy of the novel.

  • I can't tell you how pleased I was to read that.. Please pass on my best wishes to your mother.

  • Hi there Ray. I was 9 when this film came out on channel 4. My mum loved it so much, she used to perpetually play the song end-to-end! It inspired me to play the guitar. I used to sing and play it in the folk clubs around Manchester.
