-------------------------------
"If you want to step into the limelight for the first time in your life with a few decent songs, and suddenly the world that previously ignored you is spinning like a carousel gone mad, then a prime-time TV date doesn't stand out that much in all the confusion. And as this date becomes more and more prominent among all those radio interviews, clothes shopping sessions, pages of contract blahblah, third-class hotel rooms and sanctimonious tartuffs, who wouldn't have lent you a euro a few months ago, you start to worry. None of us had the faintest idea of all the promotional gimmicks it takes to catch the eye and interest of the public in a sea of competing cheap-Jacks. Landing this gig was a unique opportunity that we couldn't afford to blow. Did we have stage fright? Yes, we did. During the rehearsals, the three and a half meters from the Japanese wooden chair, where I was condemned to sit by stage directions, to the microphone at the edge of the stage felt like a tightrope walk across the Grand Canyon. And what did we have to offer anyway besides our Norwegian jumpers, which we hated, our iron Eastwestfalian stubbornness, which had led up to this point despite all our self-doubt, and an inexplicably precise intuition for the right decisions? That we were in fact brilliant songwriters with a major hit in our luggage we didn't know at the time ... however, we suspected it.
So there we were, sitting in the dressing room of the ZdF Broadcasting Centre in Mainz, eagerly awaiting our very first television appearance. At some point we were ordered into make-up one after the other and when I finally wanted to go back to our dressing room, all festively painted, I promptly got lost in the maze of corridors in the building.
And suddenly, like an apparition from another world, Joan Baez stood right before me. What I haven't mentioned yet - the evening's programme consisted of her, Gazebo, Udo Lindenberg and us greenhorns, a pretty bizarre line-up from today's perspective, but back then we had other problems, mainly to do with our pullovers, which were miserably itchy. Joan, who at best might have heard of Gazebo, was still able to categorise me correctly. Looking at my woollen outfit, she spread her arms and said in her broadest American accent: "Oh, how sweet, you must be from this German newcomer band. I heard your song during the rehearsal, I really like it." And with these words she hugged me and gave me a friendly kiss. - What can I say? Joan was an idol to me, a legend of US country and folk music, a veritable political activist, companion to Bob Dylan and a bright star in the rock'n'roll sky of my sleepless nights. Could it be that I had just felt on my cheek the lips that had no doubt already graced sainted Bob on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean? I felt completely flattened and this happiness gave me angel wings as I crossed the Grand Canyon an hour later together with Frank, Bernard and "Big In Japan"."

Who is listening to this song now?
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
💥🎧💓
I've been listening to this song for years and it's still on my playlist.
Yo desde España
From Greece
Хит на века. И никто не кривляется и не дёргается, музыка огонь! Голоса круть! Чистый кайф!
Мне было 15 лет, когда первый раз услышала эту песню . Сейчас мне 55 лет. Но, в душе те же 15, когда слышу эту песню! Супер! Зажигает сердце! Дрожь бежит по жилам! Даль , что то время прошло! Но песня всё время напоминает о том, подростковом возрасте! Клааааааааааасная песня! Вечно молодая!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Мне 52 года. 🤝 Тоже подпеваю, как и раньше. 👍
Ровесница,полностью с тобой согласен!Нам повезло,мы родились и выросли в лучшее время на земле,став свидетелями рождения величайших событий и замечательных хитов!👏❤❤❤❤❤
Моя однаклассница из греции привезла диск, магнитофон японский и на кассету этот диск уже переписанный. Это был 1984
@@clarafisher2991какой диск в 1984 году? Пластинки и катушки. Кассеты относительно недавно появились в союзе. Дефицит.
@@andro1263 на ДВ дефицита не было ни в кассетах ни в магнитофонов Япония была рядом
I'm happy for the fact this song exists, I'm not happy by the fact we'll never have masterpieces like this again.
Почему же, будет
Never is a long time.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love this x
❤❤❤песни юности,
Песня на времена. Прекрасная ностальгия по 80-м...
Это одна из моих любимых песен !!! Шикарная музыка !!!
И перевод классный, и книга суперская
Какие вы классные❤❤❤, нам тогда было по 18 лет, какое время!❤ Вы были мечтой многих!
шикарный голос... до мурашек... учитесь, рэпперы
💥Ты дотронулся до наших сердец однажды...
💓🖐Оказалось, это роман длинною в жизнь...

Мне тоже 54 и всё ништяк.✌
Perfect sound of his voice and synthesizers! 🌟💖The sound of this song, is huge, 🌟💖The Alphaville sound, unique💯🎶💖
After 40 years, the sound is still fresh and so AMAZING!!! 🎶🌟🎶
And the story in the description is great. So sweet he shared these memories.
I wish I can back in time and hug and kiss this gorgeous epitome of male beauty too. 😊😊
@@vessto👍Yes great story, a little bit funny, but these are beautiful memories of the legendary Alphaville... At their very first TV Show!!! And we only got to know later about that remarkable day when Alphaville will perform Big inJapan on TV Show. And the pullovers were so itchy 😊, a little detail that I never knew.
And how he get the kiss on his cheeks from Joan Baez... Very emotional and beautiful story 😊....
Yeah...if will be possible going back in time....

Rapaz, 40 anos hoje, em 01/02/2024. Incrível como não fica velha.
I was born in 1984 and it is 2024 already...🎉
I m in1948
This Song remains throughout decades and it's hipnotyzing
Какая красивая музыка была когда мне было 6 лет.. Жаль я это тогда не слышал,... Но сейчас с большим удовольствием слушаю. Спасибо с опозданием свом👏
Bugün bir yerde 40ncı yıldönümü olduğunu okudum ve sağlanan linkle buraya geldim.
Dinleyince gençlik yıllarımı hatırladım. Bu şarkı, melodisi ve sözleriyle tam bir efsane.
Не видел их такими молодыми. Супер команда! Как всегда 80е - лучшие!!!
Самое любимое произведение автора, музыка по истине отлично гармонирует со всем! Спасибо Вам!
Мне тогда было 9 лет , это до сих пор звучит классно 🎹🥁🎸👍🎤
Я только в первый класс пошёл в '84ом году. 😢
А мне было 4 годика))).
мне тоже было 9
Мне 6😂
Still listening in 2030!
Как же приятно видеть это видео в хорошем качестве. Ребята, вы потрясающие, сейчас таких не делают. С любовью❤❤❤.
Stunning beauty, stunning voice. Marian, you are one certified dopamine machine!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Memories don't fade they just haunt us. RIP my sweet Jenn.
Till the end of days this song will be big
I actually saw this on TV that very day! I remember those awful jerseys, the singer wearing those gloves, and that I instantly loved the song.
I was nearly 13 years old then.
Later, I bought the album when it came out. And I still think"Forever young" is one of the greatest pop albums of all time.
I like their clothes 🇨🇦
Entonces somos casi de la misma edad. Felicidades tanto a ti como a mi por haber vivido esa epoca dorada del tiempo.
40 years later still same feeling❤
Nobody can erase any part of his memory,i miss this great time when music was really MUSIC.
Daaa , ...Doamne ce muzica , ce timpuri de aurr am trait
Totally agree...80's incredible music by a country mile👍🏴
если один раз услышал эту группу в молодости, уже не забудешь. так и будет звучать всю жизнь. браво "Альфавил"!
My favourite❤
C'est clair
Какая же классная песня обожаю люблю❤
I feel so emotional listening to this song, just going down memory lane growing up in Africa when this was released. 80s the best times in life
Класс. Спасибо автору и исполнителю.
What a brilliant start to this successful 40-year journey! 🎉🎉🎉
I love Alphaville!!!

Used to go to a place called Reflections in Toronto, 20 bucks in our pockets and spent all night drinking beers and bouncing around to great tunes like this....poor buggers nowadays, don't know what good times and freedom is, 80s you were the best, always alive in my mind
Marzo 2024 ... bellissima canzone....i capolavori non muoiono mai ❤️
Pra mim um clasico que marcou minha juventude, amo até hoje essa musica
1:23 pour moi c'était beaucoup plus le chanteur ❤️
i still remember these days...
1980-1989 the Best Time forever ❤
I strongly agree with you. I am a 45-year-old man. The best years of my childhood and adolescence were between 1989-1989. Good memories, my friend.👍

Waren im Konzert. War einfach Klasse.
This song, and also Forever Young, takes me back. I get that warm bright good feeling of youth and eternal possibilities. Love the 80s style synths and the culture of that decade.
Отличная музыка....Эх молодость....!!!
This song turns 40 years this year👌
lol and now I feel ancient
Люблю эту песню!❤
I remember when I was a teenager in the early 2000s. I bought a mix CD and this song came on and I was impressed with the music of the 80s.💯⚡
I never got tired of listening to masterpieces
2024 y aun sigo escuchando esta canción. Una de las mejores de los 80s ❤
You cant beat a CLASSIC.
