Forever Young (cover) Alphaville:

https://youtu.be/hncqj7BIxDc

" "Forever Young" is a song from German synthpop recording act Alphaville's 1984 debut album of the same name. The single was a strong hit in Scandinavia and in the European German-speaking countries in the same year.

Though the single achieved more success in the United States than in the United Kingdom, it was not the group's highest-charting European hit. It failed to reach the American top 40 despite 3 separate US single releases, "Forever Young" became one of the signature songs of the band and it has subsequently been covered by numerous artists.

Nice song Neo - sounds good.
I had not heard that song , although I have heard Dylan's and Neil Young's songs of the same title.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks - yes, it was a synth song that was popular in Germany and Europe in the 80's, but it's a pretty good tune ...

I got the Wiki page wrong on the video, should be here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forever_Y … ille_song)
