    One of my favorite tracks from the 80s
    Forever Young by Alphaville from the album Forever Young (1984)
    Written by: Bernhard Lloyd, Marian Gold, Frank Mertens
    Featured the PPG wave 2.2 , the Logan String Melody II, the Arp Odyssey III and the Roland JX-3P Synthesizer
    This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.
    My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
    Check out the original songs with the original artists here on CZcams.
    Thank you.

    Oh my goodness, you really outdid yourself on this one. And why do I keep listening to your tracks? Now I want an MKS-30. 🙂 The Oddysey, no, I have to draw the line somewhere.
    Seriously, I've always loved those pads at the beginning of 'Forever young' - such a sad song, and so misinterpreted by so many - and here they are.

    A great track. It was not big here in the UK but big in Japan was a massive hit. I just love hearing that Roland synth and the beautiful German PPG. I do have a soft spot for that synth, remember it so well from my youth and all the bands I loved had one. I love your demo using many great synths there. Just love hearing many synths come together. As always fantastic playing there and making a great demo of this track. Top man, top channel and beautiful synths.

    You know what's interesting about this song, is that was writen during the cold war, dedicated to those in the worse place, at the worse moment. _"...are going to drop the bomb or not?"_
    _"...do you really want to live forever?"_
    As if asking if it would be worth it.
