Forever young


"Forever Young" is a song by German synth-pop band Alphaville, released in 1984. The original key of the song is G major. It was composed by Alphaville members Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd, and Frank Mertens. The song gained international popularity and has since become one of Alphaville's signature hits. Interestingly, "Forever Young" was initially overshadowed by the success of the band's other single, "Big in Japan," in their home country. However, it later gained immense commercial success, reaching high chart positions in various countries. The song's lyrics convey a sentiment of youthfulness and yearning for eternal love and joy. With its infectious synth-driven melody and anthemic chorus, "Forever Young" has become an enduring classic in the realm of 80s pop music.
