About the 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 was released with @NeueMeister on September 23, 2022.

Marian Gold about "Forever Young":
“The video for ‘Forever Young’ was shot somewhere in the outskirts of London inside an abandoned building that was once used as a lunatic asylum. It was planned the video would take place in the setting of a bunker with a couple of survivors from World War III. I remember me walking through the rotten corridors of the location during a shooting break. In one of the deserted wings, the floors were covered with paper-sheets containing medical reports of former patients. I couldn’t help but reading some of them and it was a weird sensation being confronted with these intimate tragedies while we were performing the end of the world next door. And then a thought hit me: Maybe I’m just imagining all this. What if the next document bears my name? What if I’m not a pop star? What if I’m just mad…?”

“You can’t write a song like ‘Forever Young’ on purpose. You can only write it accidentally.”

This is much more than a song.
It's the hymn for all those of us who were young in the 80's
Ungorgetable
Eternal thanks Alphaville

[ItsMrChristmas]

He first sang this song mournfully at the age of 30 when he felt that his youth was gone. Now he sings it at 68 with what seems to be hope in his eyes and voice.

[andyk]

After almost 40 years, his voice has certainly remained forever young! Impressive at almost 70 years of age.

[sandrafaith]

All these years later and this song still gives me shivers. What an amazing rendition!!

[jakebeetham]

Wow! he really preserved his voice! He's singing it in the original key!

[jerryodonovan]

That singer has a pitch perfect voice! Brilliant updated version of a classic 80’s song.

[flipzy_kvt]

This gotta be the best version of the song fr

[Dani-California]

My name is Daniella, I am fifteen years old and I live in Brazil. I grew up loving this song, your version is wonderful. This song reminds me of my grandpa, man who raised me and gave me my taste in music ! Thank you so much for bringing me this great version ...

[PhenomGamingoff]

So beautiful Alphaville and Marian Gold 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍😍😍😍

DE POETA A POETA. AGOSTO 11-2024
EN EL NORTE DEL SUR.
EN UN PEQUEÑO PUEBLO, EN ALGUN LUGAR DEL MUNDO.

Comparto mis impresiones de lo que produce esta canción en mi ser.

Escuche Forever Young por primera vez en 1985 en una discoteca local, solo el título me cautivo.
En ese momento no podía buscar el significado en español, porque no había internet, cuando apareció internet la escucho a menudo, pero en estos días busque el significado en español y me enamore de la letra, es poesía pura y autentica, escrita por un alma libre, genuina y seductora.
Usted une de manera excelente la poesía con la filosofía y esta canción abarca aspectos filosóficos del sentido de la vida como danzar la vida, porque la vida es un baile con diferentes ritmos y avanzar al ritmo de cada uno es básico para la existencia. Hay danzas tristes, dolorosas, alegres, divertidas, aceptar cada aspecto que nos corresponde en este camino es importante y hacerlo con esperanza.
Somos inocentes, no sabemos cuándo iniciara una guerra que extinga al ser humano. En su gran mayoría las personas se ocupan de lo cotidiano, de lo aparente, de lo básico, más no de lo trascendente.
El tiempo aquí en la tierra es muy corto, 60 años un minuto, aprovechar el tiempo para auto- descubrirnos, ayudar a otros, cantar, danzar, hacer teatro, meditar, en mi caso, para mi es lo más importante, dejar un legado, que te recuerden bonito.

Trabajo en una escuela, en un pueblo pequeño, hago teatro con los niños, a mis 60 años ellos disfrutan y aprenden historia, ecología, ciencias sociales, literatura y yo disfruto de cada montaje. Les hago sentir que son importantes, que pueden, que tienen capacidades y me siento FOREVER YOUNG. La plaza de mi pueblo es el gran escenario que se llena de alegría con la energía de los niños. Las arrugas están mi rostro y está bien porque forman parte del proceso degenerativo de la vida, pero el alma, el ser, la esencia permanece joven, creativa, alegre, con ganas de transformar, de construir espacios para que haya una humanidad más consciente y compasiva con todos los seres.
Disfrutar de la aventura de vivir, es un privilegio que muchos desconocen, están atrapados en las pantallas de sus teléfonos.
El vuelo de una mariposa, el amanecer, caminar en la arena de la playa, escuchar música, encontrarse con otros, amar. Eso es vivir.
Somos agua, somos fuego, aire y somos tierra; somos todo y somos nada; surgimos en la tierra con la vida por tu tiempo determinado y desaparecemos de la tierra con la muerte. Y Queda lo trascendente, lo mágico y lo sublime que haya sido nuestra vida en este planeta. El aporte que hayamos hecho con amor.

Estoy aprendiendo inglés con esta canción, voy poco a poco. Es una meta y un reto, y lo lograre.
MARIAM GOLD, felicitaciones, cada puesta en escena es una entrega, puedo sentir la pasión que irradia a través de la pantalla de mi computadora; usted transmite vida, energía, pasión, ganas, tristeza, alegría, amor. Su personalidad enigmática enamora.
FELICITACIONES POR LOS 40 AÑOS DE ALFHAVILLE, que maravilloso viaje, un regalo.
