Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(are. Stewart /J. Cregan / K. Savigar)

May the good lord be with you
Down every road you roam
And may sunshine and happiness
Surround you when you're far from home
And may you grow to be proud
Dignified and true

And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Be courageous and be brave
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young

May good fortune be with you
May your guiding light be strong
Build a stairway to heaven
With a prince or a vagabond

And may you never love in vain
And in my heart you'll always remain
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young
Forever young
Forever young

And when you finally fly away
I'll be hoping that I served you well
For all the wisdom of a lifetime
No one can ever tell

But whatever road you choose
I'm right behind you, win or lose
Forever young, forever young
Forever young, forever young

Forever young, forever young
For, forever young, forever young

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart are a beautiful reflection of a parent's sentiments for their child. The song begins with a wish by the parent for their child to always be accompanied by the grace of God, no matter where they go. They also wish that the child be surrounded by joy and that they grow up to be a respectable and dignified individual who treats others the way they would like to be treated themselves. The parent urges their child to be brave and in their heart, they will forever stay young.

In the second verse, the parent wishes for good fortune and inner strength for their child. The line "Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond" signifies that the parent hopes that their child can accomplish anything they set their mind to, regardless of their background or social status. The parent further wishes that their child never experiences heartbreak and promises that they will always remain in their parent's heart as forever young.

The song concludes with the parent expressing their desire to have been a good guide for their child's life. The parent acknowledges that no one can tell the future and that the child may face challenging roads ahead. Still, the parent promises to remain steadfastly by their child's side, whether they win or lose in life, and forever young.

Forever Young
Alphaville
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 gonna 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, the mad men

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 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 wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?

A música "Forever Young" da banda alemã Alphaville é uma canção sobre a passagem do tempo e a importância de manter a juventude de espírito. A letra da música compara a juventude a diamantes, que são eternos. O narrador da música lamenta que a juventude não possa durar para sempre, e deseja que todos possam permanecer jovens para sempre.

A música pode ser interpretada de várias maneiras. Em um nível literal, ela pode ser vista como uma celebração da juventude e um apelo para que as pessoas aproveitem ao máximo a vida. Em um nível mais profundo, a música pode ser interpretada como uma reflexão sobre a natureza da existência humana e o desejo de transcender a morte.

A música começa com uma reflexão sobre a diversidade da humanidade. As pessoas são como água, calor, melodias e ritmos. Todos nós somos únicos, mas todos nós compartilhamos o destino de envelhecer e morrer.

O eu lírico lamenta que a juventude não possa durar para sempre. Ele diz que é difícil envelhecer sem um propósito, e que não quer morrer como um cavalo que se apaga.

A juventude é comparada a diamantes, que são eternos. O eu lírico deseja que todos possam permanecer jovens para sempre, para que possam aproveitar todas as oportunidades que a vida tem a oferecer.

A música termina com uma pergunta retórica. O eu lírico pergunta se as pessoas realmente querem viver para sempre. A resposta a essa pergunta é pessoal, mas a música sugere que a juventude é um estado de espírito que pode ser mantido mesmo na idade adulta.

"Forever Young" é uma música que continua a ser popular décadas após seu lançamento. Ela é uma reflexão universal sobre a passagem do tempo e o desejo de permanecer jovem.

Never regret the decisions you made because no one knew which was the best. This is told to you by an old man who has lived through many experiences and has achieved successes and failures. And the best of my life is when I loved and was loved. Now, in the fall of my life, I only live on memories. Very good memories, by the way.

@user-en9qd5nx8w

9w↑5

I was 13 in 1984, 40 years ago, wow. Makes me think what was 40 years before 1984, that would be 1944. I think often that this last 40 years, not too much has changed compared to the 40 years from 1944 to 1984. Music, fashion, etc changed drastically from 1944 to 1984, I would say much more so than from 1984 to 2024. People are still wearing blue jeans, t-shirts, and listening to synth music.

@WallyPyneoil

@@user-en9qd5nx8w The technology has transformed everything since 1984 though. And, musically, you miss out the house and dance scenes of the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s which have been tremendously influential.
People were wearing jeans and T-shirts in the 1950s and the first flickerings of the synth scene, which rose to giddy heights in the 1980s, were first felt in the 1960s.
The platform shoes, kipper ties and flared trousers of the 1960s and 1970s were actually revivals of 1930s and 1940s fashions. Many things you think were fresh and new in the decades before 1984 were not. I was in my mid-20s in 1984. Believe me, things have changed drastically.

I was sitting in a bar on Christmas Eve many, many years ago by myself. It was around 10pm and the place was full of people mingling, I was the only one sitting alone. This song came on. I remember leaving the bar while walking through fresh snow to my house, thinking about the song. It was such a surreal experience. I was 26. Now I'm...old.

I was 20 when this song was released. It’s timeless but oh how I don’t know where actual time has gone to. So many twists and turns, trials and tribulations, good and bad times, regrets…and yet other things I wouldn’t change whatsoever. Maybe it’s best that we can’t predict our futures because we have to learn from our mistakes so that we can grow but my mom is 83 YO now and, if there’s anyone in my life that could stay forever young, I would wish it to be her, as well as my daughter. I lost my paternal grandmother at 95 YO in 2016 and my maternal grandmother at 98 1/2 YO in 2018. Lost my dad at 78 YO in 2019. For as long as they really did live, it still wasn’t long enough. It was both heartbreaking and heartwarming to take care of them…but an absolute honor. Something I have no regrets about even though it was very difficult, at times. Also lost my father-in-law at 57 YO in 2011. I sure wish they could’ve all remained forever young and wish the same for other dear loved ones and friends that meant so much to me and always will until my last breath. I wish the same for others who have also lost those that dearly meant so very much. As another commenter said…we have to remain in trying to be young at heart. That can sometimes be the key to longevity.

Meravigliosi ricordi di una meravigliosa ed ormai lontana giovinezza, vissuta inconsapevolmente , in una città assolata , sul mare, in una terra profumata di arance ...dove è sempre primavera, anche a Gennaio. Amici, sogni, lacrime , speranze e gioie..gli anni verdi dell'Università, gli anni in cui si costruiva la vita futura, si immaginava di essere sempre forti e ricchi di energia e tutto sembrava facile. Adesso, qualche filo bianco, ma ancora tanto amore dentro, tanto desiderio di vita , una gioia più consapevole, ma mista a malinconia ...e basta chiudere gli occhi un attimo ed ecco, come per magia, sono ancora giovane e piena di forza e luce.

Being young is 100% better than getting up in years. But love this song so beautiful thank you for uploading it. I sold my 5,000-record album collection some years back. I now go to internet to listen to music instead of owning bunch of CD's and LP's these days. I did waste lot of money on Music over $15,000.00 maybe even more. But we buy what we love. I hope all are happy and grateful in their life's, wars come and go but to be peaceful thankful within is priceless.

This song takes me back to childhood during the 80's. A time when life was much simpler and people talked to each other, face to face, for hours. If you needed answers, you rode your bike to the library and hung out with Dewey Decimal. The entire summer was spent at the public pool where the air was full of chlorine, kids were taking turns seeing how far they could swim underwater on one breath, and for snacks we had Mello Yello and Chick-o-Sticks. Riding my bike all over town because everyone knew everyone and we looked out for each other and didn't have to worry about getting snatched up or shot at. If you got in trouble, you're bike was never fast enough to beat the phone call home to your parents and you were held accountable for your actions. No cellphones, no computers, no video games (unless your parents had money). We weren't allowed to sit in the house on a sunny day and we never ate a meal at home that wasn't at the table. My God, how I miss those years. I wish I would have realized how special they were.

This song gives me a very bittersweet happy/sad feeling. There's times it feels like I was a teenager young and athletic in high school like it was yesterday. I'm 24 years old now, an adult always busy working. Some of my family members passed away, and old friends come and go. You never know what life can bring next, often unpredictable and fragile.

@@concorde2003 Now this is actually the stupidest thing to say. At ages like 24 you're transitioning to the adulthood. For some people college is behind, we find our first actual jobs and some of us are starting families.

You see, from between 30 and 60 there's not much that differs. That's the most important time period when you have to fight for those things that'll turn into sweet memories later on, just like your teenager memories. A 24yr old knows about life. They are actually at the same situation as people in their 60s. My friends father climbed Kilimanjaro last year in his 60s. You can do what you want with your life, doesn't matter if you are 25 or 55. But after college, no matter if it's your 25s or 55s, you have to make room for things to happen in your life.

The Cold War loomed over generations. They lived in powerless fear, not knowing if they would get to grow up. They made the best movies and music, they danced, and loved. When the Berlin wall fell in 1989, that was the cultural victory. The air was filled with a feeling of sweeping change. There was a promise of peace. Peace never came. It still hasn't. And probably never will.

This makes me so sad. They played this song at my cousin's high school graduation and then he died in a terrible accident.

If you don't mind me asking, was it the same day as his graduation? Either way I'm extremely sorry for your loss. My dad passed on in what will be 9 years at the end of this month. One thing that makes me feel slightly better when its stinging the worst is reminding myself that it only hurts so much because that time I spent with him was SO amazing, fun, carefree & happy! Then i find myself being grateful I've experienced moments like these in my lifetime & seeking to recreate them all over again as a way of honoring my former memories, if that makes sense🙏🏾🌻🕊
