永遠年輕的芭樂：〈Forever Young〉by Alphaville

來自德國的New Wave樂團Alphaville，在80年代活躍於歐陸，原始團名是Forever Young，他們的首張專輯（也是成績最好的專輯，賣了超過兩百萬張）也叫做《Forever Young》，最紅的一首歌還是叫做〈Forever Young〉。真是個永遠年輕的樂團呢！

殘酷的歲月依舊不饒人，主唱Marian Gold生於1954年，今年也已五秩晉四了！

左邊這張攝於1984年，右邊這張攝於2004年。

顯然不是走外貌路線的，不過Marian Gold高亢清亮的嗓音，隱隱約約帶點合成器的音色，唱起New Wave來實在滿不錯的。

Special Extended Mix

1984年上電視演出版（還是穿著那套海灘遊俠裝）

1984年在Goldene Europa演出版

德國演唱會版

1986年在瑞典Razzel演出版

在Moscow現場演出版

2007年在"Wianki 2007″演出版（個人覺得愈唱愈像芭樂）

2008年在Poland Toruń演出版（畫質挺糟的）

看來，經過廿幾年的時光，雖然廉頗垂垂老矣，這顆芭樂依然保持著永遠年輕的狀態啊！

歌詞

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 dimonds 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
