About the upcoming album 'Eternally Yours':
Alphaville, Germany’s biggest synth-pop export and creator of the legendary 80s anthems “Big in Japan”, “Sounds like a Melody” and “Forever Young”, has decided to go symphonic. The band is doing things on the grand scale and catapulting the band’s 40 years of greatest hits out of the orbit of synthesizers and rhythm machines into the world of the human sound machine, the symphony orchestra. “Eternally Yours” is more, much more, than a mere translation of the songs into the sound spectrum of a great orchestra. What it amounts to, rather, is a symbiosis of Marian Gold’s unique vocal capacities, the original Alphaville sound and the majestic power and rich timbres of the concert-hall-sized German Film Orchestra of Babelsberg.
“Eternally Yours” is about the everlasting theme of endurance and evanescence. The lyrics of songs from the past four decades were written predominantly by Gold himself. One central theme for Alphaville and Gold has always been the dream: “We really get around quite a lot, we’ve played almost everywhere, in our heads and out of our heads. All that goes into our music, into the idea of what Alphaville could be. It is like a never-ending dream. Those who hear our music hear fragments of this dream.” The title-track, specifically written for this event comes across like an amorous farewell letter. “I didn't write a single line of my own for this song. All the words and all the ideas come from Shakespeare's Sonnetts. All I did was recompile and minimally adjust them, so as to make them more singable for me.”
“All 23 musical pieces on this album have been essentially clarified by their arrangement, they’re stripped clean, released, set free. Their true nature has been revealed.” Gold and his two arrangers Max Knoth and Christian Lohr have given this album the sonic ambience that matches the musical content of its songs. The songs don’t sound overblown, either, they’re not pushed beyond their limits - on the contrary, the album has such natural, warm, even familiar tones that listening to it, you wonder why there haven’t been more symphonic arrangements of Alphaville songs in the past. Gold goes so far as to say: “When I hear it, ‘Eternally Yours’ really does sound as if it were actually the first Alphaville album - except that for forty years, it lay unreleased. We simply didn’t have access to an orchestra in those days.”
The album “Eternally Yours” by Alphaville with the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg will be released with @NeueMeister on September 23, 2022.
Marian Gold about "Sounds Like A Melody":
“After ‘Big in Japan’ we had been told by the record company to write another hit. Sometimes it is handy to listen to other people.”
Question: “How often do you forget the lyrics to a song when you’re performing?”
Gold: “That only happens with ‘Sounds like a Melody’ and for some strange reason it never got better over the decades. But sometimes there are merciful fans in the audience holding up big banners with the respective lyrics.”

The whole 1984 album should be produced as symphonic version.
Yes❤
It is
Where?@@ingeheidisigaard401
I agree completely! Loved the original when it came out, when I was all of 17 years old and this album opened my eyes to the rest of the world. It was then that my life really began, and I became a child of the world, rather than a petty provincial from Northern Georgia.
Hello, Marian. I know that you read each comment posted here. So, i'm here to say that Sounds Like A Melody is the song of my life. Thank you so much for bringing so many happiness to my life. Hugs from BRAZIL.
1985 war ich 20 Jahre alt, als ich den Song zum ersten Mal hörte. . Es ist wunderschön mit Alphaville älter zu werden und den Song heute 2023 in gealterter und immer noch wunderbar zu hören.
I am 32 years old. Alphaville is my favorite band of the 80's, hands down. Thank you for this.
52 YEARS I LOVE ALPHAVILLE
I'm now 57... It was a incredible time and I don't want to miss it or Alphaville!
ALPHAVILLE UM PATRIMÔNIO CULTURAL ARTÍSTICO QUE MARCOU UMA GERAÇÃO. DEIXOU SEU LEGADO. INSPIROU GERAÇÕES . MUITO OBRIGADO ❤❤
I was 12 when Big in Japan came out. Never stopped listening to them, although I believe FY was their best album, hands down
@@adrianl7147 me too, remember the great days
Ich bin hin und weg. Marians Stimme ist noch immer phänomenal. Sparkling as ever. ✨❤✨
Find es gut das er seine jetzige Stimme nutzt. Jeder wird älter, und das darf man auch hören.
Er steht zu seinem Alter und das macht ihn und seine Musik auch in solchen aktuelleren Versionen noch authentisch.
In seiner musikalischen Leidenschaft ist er aber Forever Young.
Gänsehaut pur! Die Stimme ist genauso gewaltig wie das Orchester! Super!!!👍👍👍👍
Thanx for supporting my country, Alphaville.😘🇺🇦👍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can't describe how much I love this song! ❤️😍🇧🇷
Absolutely crazy about this song !!! ❤❤❤
yes! Love this band since 1985
Alphaville of the 80's genius Band!!! They had write the song in 2 hours, Marian will talk about it later, that he had hated this song, as well Frank and Bernhard.... What they didnt realize is that they were geniuses and they created an absolutely amazing song 💯💎💗that never come out of style... Amazing 💎💯💥💖💖💖✨✨✨
Alphaville, Dankeschön ❤️
💗Прекрасно сказано!!!👍🥰
@@alnash1227 👍Always... 🙋♀️🙏💖🌺🌺🎶💥🎶💥🎶💥
He hated it, because Bernhard and Frank wanted him to sing it, in a very highpitch voice he couldn't reach. So when recorded, they turned up speed, and during copying, they turned down speed. Now he sounded like they wanted
I was head over heels in love with Marian Gold 😍 Been at 2 concerts now. If you get the oppertunity, do it
Eine wunderschöne extrem gelungene Neu-Interpretation! Gänsehaut pur! Ich freue mich sehr auf den 11/06/2023 :) Live in der ersten Reihe ♥ Viele Liebe grüsse aus Lübeck, Stefan
Oh, he really read the comments? Oh, my... ☺️☺️☺️☺️ I know, I sound like many other women and men who declare their love, yet I will never be tired of reconfirming it. We are the hugest army in the world, lol. The Army of Marian's adorers.
You are my eternal love. You have a very special place in my heart and soul. You are a one-time phenomenon, and no other man like you will ever exist.
Dear Friends, please do not forget to set a reminder and turn the notifications on. 🔔🔔🔔
All the love
Ich weiß nicht, wieviele 10.000 Male ich SLAM schon abgespielt habe. Es hat mich 3/4 meines Lebens begleitet. Aber vielleicht habe ich es heute tatsächlich das erste Mal richtig gehört.
Danke! Welch schöne Worte!
My brother sends me the link saying "this will blow your mind" and it actually freak me out how marvelous piece of art is this . Its pure magic !
Alphaville forever 💯
Ich bin so glücklich, dass wir fürs Konzert in Berlin noch Tickets bekommen haben. Marian‘s Stimme ist unglaublich! Musik, die berührt und dabei strahlt er so viel Zufriedenheit und Lebensfreude aus, das gibt mir Kraft. Wahnsinn! 😩❤️
Droysenstrasse, Westberlin, Michael Schöbel, Hartwig, Marian Gold,ich als DDR Kind: Ein Traum wurde war im Ufa Palast, Forever Alphaville!!!!!!
Damals wie heute eine Melodie, die selbst nach all den Jahren ihresgleichen sucht. Bin mit dieser geilen Musik aufgewachsen.

The entire original album is a masterpiece, but this song was, and still is, my absolute favorite. It was the perfect soundtrack to falling in love in my youth. It always transports me back to those times. And I love this new symphonic version! Thank you for the wonderful music. You’re forever great, Marion!
Hi Hartwig. I'm Catarina, from Brasil. and I've been your fan since 1984. I gave birth to my only daughter ( Carol ) on 07.16.1986 in the hospital, in the delivery room, I heard Hartwig singing "Forever Young" it was the happiest day of my life. I'm saving money to go to Berlin to thank Hartwig for this moment. Thank you so muche for your attention and affection.
Emotionale Explosion 💥💣❤️
@Alphaville (official) These magnificent sounds, these unique words always echoed in us like a symphony. This song deserved such a magnificent video like this. I congratulate you with all my heart. When I started watching the video, I cried in eternal happiness. I have always been proud of you and now this pride and happiness has reached their peak. You (Marian Gold and Alphaville) are my good side in this world, you are my childhood, you are my youth. You are the most wonderful treasure that I always keep in the most precious place inside me. May your heart shine with this endless happiness that you gave to my heart and soul.I'm so glad to have you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tolle Version!
Ein Evergreen!....Die alten Lieder (besonders die der 80er..generell, nicht nur von Alphaville) hatten eine Wucht und transportierten soviel unterschiedliche Gefühlsregungen der menschlichen Seele. ...
Wut, Trauer, Melancholie Lebensfreude....
Die 80er bleiben mein musikalisches Lieblingsjahrzehnt!!.😍💫
Alphaville Banda Imortal 👏👏👏👏👏😍
Banda 😀
Es ist echt der Hammer......
Habe die Lieder jahrelang nicht mehr gehört. Sie sind wie ein guter Wein, der jahrelang im Keller lag u den man durch Zufall - den es ja nicht gibt - wiederfindet. Durch das Orchester geadelt... Danke dafür. Echt edel.
Ich hatte das Glück Alphaville Ende der 1980er Jahr in einem kleinen Konzert in der Leipziger Thomaskirche erleben zu dürfen. Es war phantastisch und ich freue mich darüber, die wunderbaren Hits von damals in so opulenten Arrangements zu hören. Einfach perfekt!
My dear friend Marian Gold singing this song beautifully 👈🤗💞👌😘🌹
Das Konzert in Essen lassen wir uns auf keinen Fall entgehen. Ich freue mich irrsinnig darauf.
Gänsehaut und Tränen in den Augen! Ein Lied das in dieser Version Emotionen weckt und Erinnerungen hervorruft... Masterpiece!
es geht vielen sooooooo
😀 Hallo!!!!
Sowohl das Original als auch die neue Orchester-Version...
"Sounds like a melody" ist die Melodie meiner Seele!!!! 💙
Bin ein riesiger Alphaville-Fan, meine Lieblingsband, mein Lebensgefühl!!!!
Jahrgang '86 😉🙃🤩
Habe dieses Jahr erst euer Konzert in Bad Elster besucht!!!! Es war grandios!!!
Das Feeling...Immer wieder!!!!
💙❤️🔥💥😎✌️✨️
Mariaaaan, fantastische Performance eines fantastischen Songs! Eure Songs sind für die Ewigkeit und begleiten mich seit fast 40 Jahren. Danke
Bei diesem Lied bekomme ich immer gänsehaut schon als Kind. Danke. Ich freue mich auf das Konzert in Chemnitz in 2 Wochen!!!🎉❤
Der Instrumentalteil mit dem Klatschen ist extrem geil, da kommt das symphonische bombastisch zur Geltung, ebenso am Ende. Toll gemacht!
Ich muss es jeden Tag mindestens einmal hören - zum Glück ist das heute Dank TH-cam und der Digitalisierung insgesamt leichter als damals im Zeitalter der MCs.;-) Danke für diesen Song!
Alphaville ......is the best performance..... forever....
Wow! Beautiful 🤩 still, years later… 💕
What an arrangement with an orchestra, that gives the music even more power. There is something special about good compositions.😉
God !!! How great is this version, thought the original was stunning and still instantly takes me back to my younger days, but this really is a phenomenal upgrade with the score, arrangement and orchestra. A breathtaking upgraded version of such an amazing track, but still keeping the synth bassline. Bravo 👏👏👏👏
You are the best! Really forever young! Best times and best music get down, but you are not! From Russia with love!
SUUUPPPEERRRRR !!!!!!!
Was für ein zeitloser Sound und Song 🥰 Gerade im ZDF-Fernsehgarten gesehen und ins Herz geschlossen 🥰
Großen Dank,dass Ihr diesen Sprung nochmal gewagt habt.Exzellent vertont und ich erinnere mich an Dresden auf ganz kleinem Raum,Marian.Die Klänge der glorreichen 80 iger sind mit nichts zu vergleichen.Schön,dass es Euch musikalisch heute noch für uns gibt.
best thing ever! Gives me goose bumps. This makes me proud of Germany, which I haven't been for a very long time. Babelsberg Film Orchestra is so great.
PERFECT....... THE PERFECT GROUP AND SONG FOR ME..
I feel all running through my veins now again! Thank You!
Great! Next one is Forever Young?? Please 🙏
Let’s hope so, it would be truly amazing! 😉
I can't wait to see Marian sing this absolutely wonderful and amazing song ! ❤😍🔥
I have seen Alphaville 2 times. Every penny worth
Wow!You are very lucky!!! I've resigned myself! Maybe i'll meet Marian in another life. 🙏🙏🙏I 'm waiting for him there ,but if he doesn't want to ,don't come.😰😞
They copy yours ideas, many women on Facebook and TH-cam, The first time with you I saw that you were proud of Marian ,now everyone says ,..with the light of Marian, cute ,sweet ,always shining etc....many expression from you .And let me tell you when I see without ideas, they are empty like..They seem fake anyway!🙋♀️
So happy to find that you still make music! Such a beautiful voice and so powerful music! Thank you! 💛💙
What a beautiful song, dragging back my memory to those times..
I remeber in 1984 in Sweden....Alphavilles album was released. This song and " Victory of love" was my favourites. Great version 😍
Was für ein toller, kraftvoller Song in neuem Gewand. Fantastisch! Danke! Nein, kein Blick zurück, sondern er nimmt das Alte auf und schaut nach vorn und entwickelt eine neue Dynamik.
Alphaville forever!!!
I love those leather gloves! ❤️ And the song, of course! If there’s any Alphaville song that absolutely deserved a symphonic version it’s this one!
Yes, ♥️Sounds like melody♥️...looks like was created always before.... to get this symphonic background...Its unbelievable how talented is Marian to artistically touched this song again... in symphonic version! LOVE IT💖
Klasse 👏.Eine tolle Version😍😍😍.Gerne mehr davon🤩.
Ich bin ein Kind der 80er.
Wowwwww....I like this ........It is so beautiful. Alphaville.........the best!!!!!
Meravigliosa Alphaville for ever😍😍😍
Thanks for supporting! With love from Ukraine!
One of the best song in history - specifically this version!!!
Amazing like always!!! 💎 Omg, PERFECTION ,BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL......all good ! ♾❤☀️🌻
I always thought he had such a beautiful, clear and lucid voice, almost otherworld, and this song was almost classical in scope, and this symphonic version brings that out manifestly. I was really too young to appreciate them in the 80s, but now, well, they chime perfectly.
Einer der geilsten Versionen die ich je von dem Stück gehört habe. Love it
Live for ever is one of the greatest songs ever , thank you Brian Margolis
Hi msrian. Im filipina one if your million fans. I always listening your song's😍 GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU ALWAYS❤
Fantastic, excellente, awesome - Welcome back, Alphaville
Шикарная реинкарнация давно полюбившийся песни в сопровождении симфонического оркестра. Hardwick Shirbaum, всё с тем же узнаваемым волшебным голосом. А ведь прошло почти 40 лет.
And forgot to say how beautiful Marian's voice is, as always, nearly 40 yrs on and it's as powerful and emotive as ever!💝
To be continued... Continue with A Victory of Love pls. Always great to see Herr Bernd Lloyd
One of my favourite songs since 1984. In my opinion - original version is quasi-symphonic, especially in the final coda. But of course, there's no reason to hurry, just start that brand new story :)
I have no words ... pure magic, powerful, beautiful, moving, full of emotions. Better than the original, which says a lot.
Sa voix a changé, son physique aussi, c'est un homme plus un gamin, sa voix a gagné en puissance, compétence, cette version magnifique installe un intérêt nouveau, pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas (les pauvres) et nous redonne des frissons, extra 🖤💗
Woow you still have that beautiful voice👌
I always loved the strings on this song. The orchestra adds another dimension to the song. Love this 😍🔥
Beautiful song from my favorite Singer Marian Gold!😍😘🥰Salute to Alphaville❤️
This might be the most beautiful song that I've ever heard!😊and sad.
TURKİYE DEN SELAMLAR SİZİ HEP SEVDİK
Kesinlikle... Hem de çok...
Can't wait see Alphaville in the USA, especially, in Dallas!!!!
Wahnsinn , die Stimme , die Ausstrahlung ....wird von Jahr zu Jahr besser!!
The song is an absolute masterpiece, then as now. the early version was absolutely great. but the current version exceeds all expectations. it is full of emotions and heartbreak. Pure goosebumps. thank you for this masterpiece. God bless you Marian🙏🏻❤️
Alphaville its back..the olds song change like new version...so wonderful ....love it...
The first version of this song was played when I was at the pool today and I got nostalgic and took to TH-cam and found this. I love you so much 💞
Heals something in me. Brought to tears.
Im 52 and i will never forget how i would sit by my cassette player listening to all these wonderful songs from your 1st album..... thank you for those precious memories!!
Mr Marian a Special Long Version is screaming to be made 😃
Perfect...As beautiful as the old version.🥰🎶
Das ist das beste Lied von Alphaville die neue Version ist hammermäßig
La mia mente vintage non vuole accettare questa versione anche se con orchestra è bella. Certi pezzo musicali non si dovrebbero toccare. È la mia opinione giusta o sbagliata. Alphaville sempre nel cuore insieme a tutta la discografia!
Now we need VICTORY OF LOVE
Sounds amazing, Marian! I cannot wait. Love from USA
Wonderful,wonderful....forever!Bravooo...👍👍👌👌👏👏👏👏🙃🌹🌈🙋♀️❤
I love this version, how nice q despite 2022 this great band is still active and in what way?
I will always love you Marian and Alphaville Citzens
This! Is a masterpiece!!!!!!! Very strong voice. I'm old enough to know the Version from the 80s, but this, wow............................ 🙏
Can't wait for it ❣
Schön das Bernhard auch in den Videos zu sehen ist.🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Fantastic.....the best in the music years '80!!!!! Love love kiss for you!
Bravo to the director of this video- captures the spirit of the music beautifully.... thank you
