The lead singer of Alphaville is Marian Gold, who is now 69 years of age. This song released on September 20, 1984. Almost forty years later, and Mr. Gold still has it. An amazing voice! I just discovered "Forever Young" a week ago and it is already one of my favorite songs. How beautiful it is!
Oh my he still young wow.......handsome...life and death are indeed on the tongue....ill be singing this daily to stay young...in heaven we are forever young. Jesus Christ is the way.❤❤❤❤
Played this song loud in repeat in my Volvo 142. Cassette recorded from AM-band radio. I was king for a moment and share the tape with all my friends. Big thanks Alphaville/Marian 😃♥️! Feel still young at 62 yo. Forever Young? Regards, 🇸🇪
With the state of the world its hard to imagine wanting to go back to the cold war Era as the times seemed better back then.... stayvsafe and well everyone ✌️
Extraordinary song. I was born in 1980, and Alphaville is the music of my childhood. I am glad I found this orchestral version. This is so beautiful, and I am also glad to see how the singer of the Alphaville has changed along the years. His voice is still powerful and very finely tuned to the song. I do believe this song is a universal message of eternal youth, no matter what your biological age may be. Deep inside of us, youth never dies, it always stays there. I use this opportunity to show my gratitude and deepest feelings to the members of the band for sharing such amazing gifts with the world. All I wish now for myself and for all the people in the world is to enjoy these masterpieces for many years ahead, and stay FOREVER YOUNG. THANK YOU, ALPHAVILLE! WITH LOVE FROM A ROMANIAN FRIEND.
Hi, there is a full and I mean FULL! Album of this orchestral reimagining of the Alphaville songs. The vinyl is 3 records. It’s called Eternally Yours Alphaville! It’s absolutely brilliant! If you liked this…..you’ll love the full album!
Masterfully done!! Some people are born to sing,,,born to play istruments,,drums,etc!! This is indeed a song for the young at heart,,and those who feel eternally young inside!! What a masterpiece!! What a melodious song!! The message,,,the harmony,,,was that a trumpet that's being played? And the keyboardists,,,the choir backing the vocalist in one video!! Majestic!! Wow!!,,,billion dollar song!!
I thought exactly the same, his voice is pretty much the same as it was at the time of making this song! And the answer to the question in this song- do Yo really want to live forever young? Yes, I do!
Most people specially men when they reach certain age they loose their voice and crackles while vocal range suffer ,but this man’s voice is indeed forever young
Refreshing to go on a nostalgia trip and find people like Mr. Gold is still doing good. We have lost so many. Every one remaining becomes more precious.
Видел Алфовил вживую лет 5 назад. Приезжали в Екатеринбург. Очевидное-невероятное. Голос у солиста такой же чистый и мощный, как и 40 лет назад. Фантастика!!!
@@laylaazevedo5494and me - it didn't hit the same when then as it does at 54 with so many gone already and our family aging. I'd give anything to go back to the summer of '84
Marian's voice is as good as ever and the adaption to orchestra, created a new level for the song without sounding overpowering. A big thankyou to all, because I'm sure that many worked hard to get this to sound right.
What an incredible performance! Voice hasn’t changed a bit and the music the orchestra made used to be done by just two guys. Alphaville is one of the most amazing groups to ever come out of the 80s. Extremely underrated!
To think this only reached 98 in the UK charts when it was first released is beyond me. I know the 80’s was full of amazing songs but this has number 1 all over it and everyone knows the song. I suppose it just proves that charts means nothing when it comes to quality music.
It is kind of a sad song but a beautiful melody nonetheless. It gets you in the feels. January 2025 we still rocking this timeless masterpiece. Hello from South Afrika.
Hi Alphaville Band. Hi Hartwig. I've been your fan since 1984. This song marked my adolescence in the 80s. I gave birth to my daughter on 07.16.1986, and in the hospital, in the delivery room, I heard "Forever Young." It was beautiful. Congratulations, success.
This was terrific! What a great homage to the original with the musicians, choir, set and adoring audience! Must have felt great knowing he made such a lasting impression on people when he started singing for them 40 years ago. Keep singing! Keep dreaming!
Danke für den Auftritt in dieser Show! Ältere, die eure Musik damals hörten, fühlen sich in diese Zeit zurück versetzt. Die jüngere Generation kann so erfahren das es Musik gibt, die nicht nur kurze Zeit aktuell ist. Ihr habt Lieder und seid Künstler, welche mit ihrem Gesang bezaubern. 💯 % 👍

When I hear this song reminds me of my dad. We lost him nearly 2 years ago to dementia. We remember the good times and dad will be forever young to us.
Forever Young! Awesome! A very beautiful song/artist/voice! One of my legendary favorite songs during my younger years, till today. In the province or countryside residence, I kept on listening to this played on a radio in the late 1980's, now, it is good to watch it here on TH-cam. Will keep listening to this music, forever young!
I listened to this song in 1989 as a 10 year old for 1st time..fell in love with it. Listening to this once again is giving me goosebumps..lots of love from India. Amazing age has no effect on his voice.
Ich bin nicht die Generation, aber ich muss den anderen Recht geben. Das ist Musik für die Ewigkeit. Jedes mal wenn das Lied irgendwo läuft bekomme ich erneut Gänsehaut. Egal ob die neue Version oder das Original. Sie sind und bleiben die Größten.
It touches my heart as the original recording did! Beautiful performance--magical visuals. God must have inspired the music, the lyrics, the orchestra, the choir, the piccolo trumpet, and our beloved Marian as lead. A true masterpiece of the human race. May they live forever young.
WOW!!!! In an age when we’re seeing so many singers going back on tour and sounding terrible, he sounds incredible!!! He may actually sound better now than then. Amazing version, amazing performance!!!
@@morlvol There's a lot of vocalists doing it, sad... Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, you can do a search (autotune/lipsync fail), surprised at all the well known names that came up.
I heard his voice from a tape, so many many years ago. Now his voice, live, through internet to me. Even better than 40 years ago. Tears full of my eyes.
Wow, Mr. Gold, you are still killing it. Age is just a number. The song says itself forever young. I love you 😍 2024, my childhood favorite back in the 90s

Hermoso el sr de los años 70
Música de la buena
Ist kaum zu glauben.
69 , not 64
Ha 70 anni è nato nel 1954.
This is my favorite song of all time! With God's help, we will all live forever young
His voice hasn't change at all. Forever young indeed.
We don´t search for old songs,
we search for old memories.
Very true!
so true
So wrong, I was not alive back then. I am looking for old songs actually. And a bit for your old memories, I admit.
Totally agreed. 😔😍🙏
With the state of the world its hard to imagine wanting to go back to the cold war Era as the times seemed better back then.... stayvsafe and well everyone ✌️
Long live the 80’s I wish I could go back! He still has his voice! Great performance with the background band.
Mr Gold's voice is still gold after all these years!!!
Singing at the original key, live, a song whose hard enough to sing even at a studio, his vocals is forever young.
Forever Alphaville - I love you forever. Thanks for this amazing song.
I' m with you since 1984

It's nice to have a version where he's actually singing it live, and not lip-syncing. He still has it, thank God.
Bro these are singers of old eras. They sang live. Recorded with no effects. All they had their throat
@@abdainawi I've watched a dozen versions of this song. Not sure I saw a single one from the 80s where it wasn't exactly the same as the recording.
@@abdainawi plus, I'm from that era (58 years old). That song came out right after I graduated from highschool.
@@RandyGrace I felt the same thing. But I guess charges can be dropped since he sang live even better & being that old.
TV timing demanded it but I think it's for the best anyway. It wouldn't be so special if it was always live
69 years old... Amazing talent and voice still. He truly lived forever young. Good for you Marian!

I think this probably the 20th time I come back here to watch this again. One of most overwhelming performances I've ever seen.
Hits just as hard as it did in 1984. Such a brilliantly crafted song and performance, Lord I do miss talent.
But him and you were actually young in 1984
because of this symphonic version you really make this song eternal......
Doesn’t look 70 to me.
He truly is Forever Young.
Refreshing to go on a nostalgia trip and find people like Mr. Gold is still doing good. We have lost so many. Every one remaining becomes more precious.
Nobody sing this song like him. How amazing his voice is even after all this years still strong. 👏 👏 👏
Forever Young und für immer einer der größten Hits. Und die Stimme vom "alten Gold" ist einfach nur Weltklasse...
Kann ich nur zustimmen!

pure talent, pure voice, no auto tune, one of the best songs from the 80's
Im simply stunned… this brought me to tears. The fact that he still sings like in his youth…. That’s a true talented vocalist. Incredible!!!!
Marian never stop singing live, your Voice is unique, greetings from Mexico.
He looks and sounds great for being 70 years old.
Well having money definitely plays a big part. Glad he kept himself well in health as much as wealth.
