Forever Young

I was in my 20s when i listened to this song and i always loved it so much...........more than 20 years passed by and i keep loving it as the first time i listened to it........Forever Young..........beauty is always young, isnt it? good things are always good, even when the time passes.............this song and this video always touched my heart, really dont know why........or maybe because it talks about a dream of every human being, the dream of being eternally young, the dream of living forever...............the last bit, when the trumpet plays, is my favorite one, i always put the music louder in that bit and i always ask people around me to let me listen to it :-)

its funny how so much time has passed and my heart has the same feelings that had more than 20 years ago........oh my God, i wish so much i was 20 again!..........but i didnt want to go back in past, not at all..............i remember that time my life was really hard, i had very bad moments, mainly because of my father.......maybe one of the best things i had in those times was the music..........i loved the music of the 80s, i was so much time listening to it, specially the english pop and rock...............it was a golden era of the music, many people say it and i agree with them..........even today i keep loving so many songs of those times........ :-)

yeah, it would be so great if i was young again, young forever.........life would be so much better, im sure............so many chances i lost when i was young, because of my life, i could have them again..............so many things that keep hurting me today, maybe would disappear.........so many wounds the past gave to my heart, maybe could be fixed now...........only because i would be young again, and i would have new chances now to start everything again............

but, its only a dream, isnt it?

as the song says: Its so hard to get old without a cause/I dont want to perish like a fading horse
.............

here is this beautiful video, and the beautiful lyrics of this wonderful song:



Forever Young
(Alphaville)

Lets dance in style, lets dance for a while
Heaven can wait were only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you going to drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever
We dont have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The musics for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders were getting in tune
The musics played by the madmen

Forever young, I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever, forever and ever

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why dont they stay young

Its so hard to get old without a cause
I dont want to perish like a fading horse
Youth is like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldnt happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams are swinging out of the blue
We let them come true

Penso muito parecido com o que você escreveu Maria, eu tenho 27 anos agora mas amava e ainda amo as músicas dos anos 80 e ultimamente comecei a pensar muito nessa música do Alphaville, tem um comercial passando no Brasil com essa música de fundo então trouxe ela de volta a minha cabeça, eu lembro que quando era criança e a ouvia eu sabia o que o título queria dizer 'Jovem para sempre' mas naquela época eu achava que eu seria chovem para sempre, com 8 anos você nem se imagina envelhecendo, e agora quando ouço a música da um aperto no coração, uma saudade de uma época que não volta mais, penso em tantas coisas que eu poderia ter feito diferente e não fiz e me arrependo disso e penso que se pensasse naquela época como penso agora, eu arriscaria mais, não teria tanto medo, mas dependendo o que acontece hoje, eu sinto o mesmo medo e fico paralizada como se ainda tivesse 8 anos, acho que devemos manter em nossa mente, em nossa vida toda a alegria da juventude, a vontade de mudar o mundo, acreditar nas pessoas, no amor, na vida, hoje em dia falta essa inocência nas pessoas, todo mundo está cético demais, amargurado demais, e se sentindo assim você vai se sentir velha não importa se você tem 15, 25, 35, 45, não acho que seja fácil, mas por dentro nós podemos sim, ser jovens para sempre.

beijos para ti :)
