Hello and welcome back to my channel. My

name is Stacy and I'm so happy to see

you here today. If you are new to the

channel, first of all, welcome. And

second of all, if you're wondering what

we are doing in my corner of the

internet, I am on a journey of listening

to songs, bands, and artists I've never

heard before. And today, you guys, we

are getting into a new band for me named

Alphavville. And we're listening to a

song called Forever Young. Now, I know I

have heard the chorus before with this

song, but I have never actually listened

to the entire song before. So, that's

exactly what we're going to be getting

into today. I feel like the chorus is

used in many different movies, TV shows,

or whatever. But that's it. We only get

to hear maybe a 10-second portion of the

song, and the rest just kind of gets

lost. At least from my experience.

That's how I see it. So, I'm excited to

see what this song is all about today.

So before I begin the reaction, you

guys, if you like my content and want to

join me on my musical journey of

discovery, please be sure to like and

share the video as well as subscribe to

the channel as it really helps growing

content creators like me. So without

further ado, let's get into the

reaction. All righty, guys. This is

Alphavville Forever Young. Let's get

started.

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. Let us live forever. We

don't have the power, but we never say

never. Sitting in a sand pit. Life is a

shock. The music's for the sad man.

Can you imagine when this place is wind

faces into the sun raising our leaders

getting into the music play by the man

forever young? I want to be forever.

Do you really want to live forever?

Forever.

Forever young. I want to be forever

young.

I really want to live forever.

>> Whoa. Summer.

>> See, I feel like that chorus part right

there is the only part that I've ever

really heard. I'm not going to lie. And

now that that whole part right there

with the drums and everything, I have

never heard before. So, yeah. Dang. This

song makes me feel like I'm dreaming,

but at the same time, it gives me this

little ping in my chest. His voice is so

piercing. It just goes right to your

soul. And the question he poses, do you

really want to live forever? I feel like

I don't know, the uh the older you get,

the more daunting that question becomes,

right? So yeah, this this song, man, h

it just gives you chills just right

right from the beginning. H God. Okay,

let's continue.

Love his voice.

Why don't we stay?

It's so hard to get out without

I don't want to perish like

it's like diamonds

and are forever.

So many adventures

today. So many

so many

kids

forever.

Heat. Heat.

Oo.

Going to the light.

Oo.

Heat. Heat.

Holy crap,

this song got me choking up.

It's so powerful and so ethereal at the

same time. Gosh,

I need to take some deep breaths after

that. This song definitely makes you

reflect, doesn't it? It's such a

beautiful, haunting, melancholic,

chilling tune. I I can't tell you how

many times I got chills throughout this

song. And even just thinking about it

now, I'm like, "Oh my gosh, I'm getting

him. I'm getting them again."

I think it's just the combination of the

lyrics, the message, his voice, and the

setting of the music videos. So many

different things just just make you not

forget a song like this. It's truly

unforgettable and also just makes you

reflect so much. It makes you think. It

makes you reflect. But at the same time,

it's such a jam. This song is such a

jam. There's a reason you hear the

chorus everywhere. It's it's beautiful.

And the lead singer's voice is amazing.

Like truly truly amazing. I I love his

voice throughout this whole song. And I

feel like it's such a crime to just hear

his vocals in the chorus like we always

do in movies and TV shows or wherever

this song may be present. It has so much

emotion behind it. It's very unique as

well. But yeah, man. This song makes you

reflect. It makes you think about that

question. Would you really want to live

forever? And the answer to that question

would probably be different for

everybody. I know that a lot of people

are fearful of aging, of getting older

and things like that. Um, which I think

is part of what the song is touching on.

I'm sure it's touching on many other

things, but this is the first thing that

came to my mind when I was listening to

the lyrics. I think a lot of people have

this fear of aging and they have this

fear of, you know, getting older, which

I think is completely normal. Um, as we

get older, time goes by faster, we get

busier

and everything just kind of blurs

together. I feel like some years just go

by like that and it's just different

when you get older versus when you're

young. But I always see it as getting

older and getting to a certain age is a

complete privilege because a lot of

people do not get that experience. Some

people really are forever young.

Sometimes their lives are just beginning

and they pass away or you know something

unfortunate happens and things change

drastically. It happens all the time. So

for me in order to get past kind of that

fear of aging or instead of being like,

"Oh no, I see a gray hair. I see a

wrinkle." Whatever. Um just kind of

embracing getting older because what's

the alternative? You know what's the

alternative? there is there's only one

alternative and uh I prefer not going

that route. I also think this song

serves as a reminder to live for today.

Um and all you have is today. Don't

worry so much about the future and don't

hold on too much to the past because the

past is the past and you don't know

what's going to happen tomorrow. So just

focus on today and seize the day, right?

So I think that is such an important

message because you will only be as

young as you are right now in this very

moment. So I really think the song was

really brilliant in portraying that

message as well. Just seizing the day,

taking the opportunity to be your best

self now. And don't worry about tomorrow

cuz tomorrow is tomorrow and the past is

the past. You guys will need to tell me

what's going on in the music video

though. I'm not entirely 100% sure.

Everyone was in mangled clothes and

dirty, dusty. They were in a church, it

looked like. And at the end, they all

went to the light. So, it makes me think

maybe the people in the music video were

dead. Uh I I don't know. They finally

like moved on, went into the light. I

don't know. You guys will need to let me

know what they're trying to say there.

So, I'm actually pulling up the lyrics

now to read a little bit deeper into the

message. Um, my analysis before this was

just kind of my first impressions and

what I first thought of the song and

what I thought it's about, but I want to

read some of the lyrics just to, you

know, get a better grasp. So, verse one

says, "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 sand bit. Life is a short

trip. The music's for the sad man. 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 the madman. Huh.

Whoa. Okay. Verse two says, "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. Use like

diamonds in the sun. And diamonds are

forever. Holy

crap. Okay. I feel like this song has

kind of a different meaning um than what

I initially thought, especially when

they mention bombs and looking at the

sky.

Oh my god. Are they Are they worried

about like a nuclear

nuclear bomb or something? Oh my god. H

Well, I feel like since this song came

out in the 80s, I was very much a real

fear, especially with the Cold War

happening in the 80s and well before

that as well. It's just a looming fear

at that time. So, hm, maybe that's

mostly what the song is about on top of

what I said. So, I feel like if you're

listening to this song casually, more

likely than not, you're not going to be

catching lyrics like this. So, wow. Um,

I'm glad I pulled up the lyrics cuz I

just wanted to take a glance.

Yeah, this is a little bit different

than I initially thought, but that makes

a lot of sense. you know, the fear of

nuclear war and the political climate

back in the day.

Gez, you know, can you imagine just

being, you know, in your 20s, in your

teens, 30s, whatever, and you're looking

up at the sky, hoping for the best, but

preparing for the worst. Gez, that's so

chilling in of itself. Overall, this

song is unforgettable. It is a true

anthem, and it is beautiful. It's a

beautiful song with kind of a haunting

again melancholic nostalgic

um feeling to it. Very eerie now that I

know that they're kind of talking about

the Cold War here. So yeah, this uh

this is heavy. This heavier than I ever

thought. But overall, as you guys can

tell, I really enjoyed it. The way that

they're able to put this message in here

while making the song super dreamy,

super beautiful, you know, so many

different things I think is true

musicianship. And again, the lead

singer's voice is stunning. I don't know

anything about Alpha, so please let me

know down in the comments about this

group. Yeah, I'm so glad I finally fully

listened to the song today. So, I think

that will do for today's reaction. Thank
