Biography

Alphaville is a German synth-pop band centered around vocalist [a=Marian Gold] ([a=Hartwig Schierbaum]), formed in 1982 in Münster. Started out as a trio with Gold backed by synth players [a=Bernhard Lloyd] and [a=Frank Mertens]. At the end of '81, Gold and Lloyd (Frank would come in not long afterwards) took part in a concert with 5 other artists, as [b]Nelson Community[/b]. Initially the band name was [b]Forever Young[/b], however, after a few months they changed the name inspired by [a833999]'s film: Alphaville "the city of the future". Which, incidentally, represented even better their whole project. Mertens left the band in late 1984 and was replaced by [a=Ricky Echolette] ([a=Wolfgang Neuhaus]), in early 1985. The band is still active today, playing new concerts and also promoting re-mastered re-releases of their first albums.

LYRICS

Let's dance in style
Let's dance for a while
Heaven can wait
We're 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 don't have the power
But we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit
Life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won?
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders
We're getting in tune
The music's played by the madmen

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

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

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 don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let them come true

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

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

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