This song came on an Airbnb commercial. I was like wow such a beautiful rendition of this song. Apparently my 8 year old thought so as well. She was in bed and heard it out in the living room. I saw her peeking around the hallway and she says "mommy I love this song!". So we had to Google the artists and here we are listening on repeat. Love it!

[@firewoodisland]

Awww! That’s the cutest story! 🧡 love it! Send our love.

I usually hate covers and the original is a timeless song, but you guys absolutely crushed it here. Major kudos.

[@jasonchambers1646]

Every now and then spinning in the KZbin wormhole I stumble on something beautiful. Thanks to your song, this was one of those days. Like when Nine Inch Nails' Tent Reznor heard Johnny Cash sing Hurt for the first time and admitted that it wasn't his song anymore, this is your song now.

[@firewoodisland]

Man, you flatter us! Thank you so much 🥰

[@dalt91]

He didn't just admit it, he signed over the rights of the song to Johnny Cash.

[@emericanchaos]

Crushed it folks. I've heard this song countless times and never gave it a thought. Hearing it interpreted this way made me look into the lyrics and really appreciate it. Thank you so much.

[@firewoodisland]

Thank you so much! The lyrics are so powerful when you know the story behind 🧡

[@chepiba10]

It was an Anti Nuke song from back in the 80s..We were all horrified at the real possibility of war during the Cold War days ... "Are you gonna drop the bomb or not ?"

[@knoahbody69]

@@chepiba10 Like 99 Luftballons, or in the States, 99 Red Balloons, the original had a dance beat that was palatable, and it had lyrics that were um, anti war as could get past the censors. The German Version was much more anti war. When something has a dance beat you're not listening to the lyrics. A lot of Cubano music is this way.

[@knoahbody69]

The arrangement takes it to the next level. The combination of the instruments, the vocals, the harmony, and the WTF trumpet coming out of nowhere takes a lot of cues. Simple piano and vocal, strings, brass, from a simple ballad to a wall of sound and back to a simple ballad.

[@firewoodisland]

Your originals are great too, I especially like the acoustic live set. Airbnb recognized your skills and put you in front of millions with a classic that you redefined and infused with your special sound. Strike while the iron is hot. Replicate that unique sound with more covers. That will give your originals the momentum needed to gain a bigger fan base.

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 man Can you imagine when this race is won? Turning our golden faces towards the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the madman 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 could a happened today So many songs that we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue Oh let it 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 want to be forever young Do you really want to live forever Forever young
