"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
and music's for the sad men."
I reallly, really, really love this song by Alphaville . I guess I've known it since I was a small child
(it's popular and kind of belongs to the 'classics'), but it never seemed so great to me like in the last months.
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm getting 18 soon. Actually it's cool to become 18: you are allowed to drive alone,
you are allowed to drink whatever you want, you are allowed to sign contracts, ... means: you are an adult!
At my age it's still kind of cool to get older, or at least it isn't bad. But getting older in general kind of scares me.
Everybody wants to have a long life, but when you think about not being able to go to the toilet on your own or
about forgetting more and more all you've ever known ... I don't know, I don't like the idea to get older and older at a
certain point.
But what I actually wanted to write about is the new version of 'Forever Young' by Jay-Z (he changed the name to
'Young Forever'). I don't listen to much HipHop, but I think this version is kind of good.
Nevertheless it will never ever catch up with the original, of course :D
I also like the video, so I just posted the whole thing.
Peace :D
