I have heard Alphaville's "Forever Young" about a billion times in my life, but I have never really LISTENED to "Forever Young", until today. For some reason, prior to this, I thought the line 'are you gonna drop the bomb or not' was, like, metaphorical? Like a conversational or feelings related bomb. I'm embarrassed even writing this out.
Anyway, spoiler alert, the whole song is actually about nuclear anxiety and the fear of dying young because this was the Cold War in Europe. Like 99 Luftballons except a slow dance.
Did you know this song is huge in Sweden? #1 chart topper here. True story
