Album Notes & Community Reviews
Built around a stately electronic arrangement, 'Forever Young' became Alphaville's defining international single and later gained a long afterlife through covers, film placements, and nostalgic radio circulation. Its B-side, 'Welcome to the Sun', extends the group's early interest in glossy studio pop and Cold War-era romantic fatalism.
