The sad part isn’t growing up, it’s the innocence that we lose through out the years. That’s what I miss the most; the days of innocence and ignorantly enjoying life without a worry. Make the most of your life guys, learn to love, communicate and have meaningful relationships. That’s what it’s all about

[@deekaye8966]

Grew up in Australia in the 1970s. Great time to be a teenager. School holidays with long hot summers at the beach, and outdoors with mates from sunrise to sunset. In fact, on any given clear day most kids were outdoors, riding their bikes, playing sports or at the beach checking out the surf and the opposite sex!

[@waratahdavid696]

Remember roaming pine plantations, and tea tree scrub plantations with fishing rod in one hand, and air gun in the other. No future generations will experience that. Ever. Sad.

[@batlik99]

Yep. Summers you could plan well in advance because the weather was actually steadier. Home by the time the lights came on. Exploring and just being kids. How did this latest lot of parents that grew up with that life allow themselves to get scared so much into ruining the last couple of generations childhoods. I shake my head.

Everything is so much more important and everything is so much more beautiful because we will die. We will grow up, and grow old and then we die. And it's a gift man not a curse, a precious gift, we can hold close to our hearts because we get to cherish our family and friends everyday who give meaning to our lives. And hold deep in our hearts the loved ones who have left us.

[@ms.mystery1896]

Songs like this are rare. They hit you in the heart each time and tears just come out of no where. I think it's because it's about something all humans and all creatures love and should love...life. Life really is precious and you're so lucky to be who you are; you won a lottery to be born to the life you are given. Always love yourself no matter what person/thing stands in your way

I was there too. I first realised it when they released it, that it looked so familiar. I was a 20 year old with my then boyfriend (now hubby as I am a chick). It was a cool morning and we travelled over the otherside of Sydney to see a friend of ours skate. An acquaintance of my husband's was also skating he appears with the strange looking skateboard which was a modified snow ski. He died not long after this was taken, in a car crash driving back to Sydney from the snow. He was a surfer from Bondi. Most of these kids would have been surfers at the time.

So many times we are told to be who we aren't, to conform to what society wants, to live a safe life where we go to school, university, get a job, save up and buy a house, and retire 65 having living an ordinary life. Every grown-up you meet, will repeat this same mantra. Being young is just being yourself, and discarding what you are 'supposed' to do. Not caring about what you say or do, and not pretending to be someone else. The moment you stop trying to be who the world wants you to be, is the moment you start enjoying life a lot more.

I miss them all, I miss just living and being with my friends, just not having to be productive all the time but just passing some sweet time and not feeling guilty about it. I very much miss seeing the smug smile of my dad on a sunday morning. I see the sad comments below, of people forced to let go of loved ones far too early....breaks my heart. I sincerely hope youre all good. Ill just listen to this track one more time, to pass some quality time being unproductive, before going back to work because I have a deadline to meet on monday. I hope youre all good.

[@Blahbevava]

All growing up and being adult really means is that you take responsibility for yourself. Beyond that there's nothing really holding anyone back from remaining a kid at heart and being Forever Young. The problem is so many people loose themselves. They give up who they are at some point for external things like group/societal acceptance, or at least what their own subjective idea about what that is. They let what others think of them, external things, even material things, subjective societal pressures, popular media propaganda, etc, determine what they should be, how and what they should think about, and who they are when those things have absolutely nothing to do with who they really are. And so they remain lost and un-enlightened. Dissociated from themselves and as a result just another sheep in the masses. It's why there are so many people who feel lost and depressed now days. Like an itch they can't scratch. It's why many kids feel so lost and lash out now days! They've been trapped in a cage. Kids can see the bars of the cage but the adult world doesn't see them anymore because they've been a prisoner in them for far too long and have already surrendered to them long ago as bars of their own making. The door is open but they've been inside so long that they don't think they can leave when they're the one who holds the key. It's why songs and videos like this remind so many all about what they used to be when they were still free. Provides a sense of temporary relief. The lie many believe is that they can no longer be free. The truth is that you can! Your reality is what you make it and you are more powerful, important, and special than you can possibly imagine! Be Free, Be enlightened! Be Loving! Be Forever Young!

I was 2 when the original version by Alphaville came out in 84. I remember as I got older my brother playing it on repeat and I loved it. Now THAT is wondering where the time has gone. This is a cool version though.

This is what growing up in the 70's was all about - no kneepads or helmets. The only safety equipment was Dads or mums welding/gardening gloves.Just like the kids at the beginning of the video - scrapes and bruises were all part of growing up and to be displayed proudly. I miss those days.

Idk ‘bout you, but I’ve never seen somebody here wear protective gear while skating not even gloves.

After seeing 2020, i realized life is really a short trip.

[@ariavalentinaestelle]

I buried someone I love yesterday.. I watched as my stepmum was lowered by a hoist into the ground. She leaves behind a son who would be two this March. I think we are all so caught up in forever young that we forget time doesn’t pause. It can only stop completely. I’m 20 and have been fortunate enough to grow up. Now I hope I’ll be fortunate enough to grow old ❤ I pray nobody reading this is cut down in the prime of their life.

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

AlexDeAustria so sad about you and Johnny. As you can appreciate I have no control over how others react. Unfortunately I have been taken to hell and back and had online and work abuse from various people worldwide since 1998 because of this. I was even accused of hurting you myself! I have been refused jobs too in Australia because of this! It’s been both emotionally stressful and distressing for me. I wish you both well and send you both lots of healing thoughts. Hugs 🤗

I know this marvellous song was a cover brought out in the early 2000"s but this grainy clip is obviously Aussie kids from the earlier years. Gum trees in the distance and a glance of an Aussie car grill. Maybe this is mid 70's?. I spent alll my teenage years, the whole 70's, in Laverton Victoria ( Dad was posted to the airforce base near there) and though this is not the same place, it looks as cold and nearly as flat as the Werribee plains. I spent my carefree teen youth there riding retired racehorses at full tilt around the quiet roads of the factory backblock fields. I thought skateboarding was too dangerous then one day I met someone at my local shops. He said " Aren't you the girl who gallops around on racehorses at the weekends?" I nodded. He grinned " Well good on you! I sure bloody welll wouldn't!" He had a skateboard under his arm. Talk about days of carefree naive youth. That 70's decade had a whole different feel to it. Went back to hometown Perth, after working in Melbourne for a few years, in 1980, no more horseriding. Great song and video ( though grainy) brings all the feels flooding back. When masses of kids were everywhere mixing and laughing, squealing and yelling outdoors. After, of course, arranging meet ups on the landline, usually in a public telephone booth. Less socially nervousl kids then. We were just glad to be out of the boring old house where there was nothing much to do. Also notice how skinny kids ( and adults) were in pre fast foods 70's Australia.

[@jicm8773]

Childhood and Youth were wonderful without social media, mobile phones or tv platforms. I am so glad and happy that I could live that lost kind of youth. Honestly I would not change that for being young today. We did not have so much entertainment offers, and some dreams were harder to get, but we were much happier with very simple things. This is being forever young to me.

[@greglewis6232]

I remember hearing this song in middle school when Alphaville released it. I was early 30s when Youth Group did their version, which I think is superior. It is a beautiful, haunting song. Appreciate our lives, not just during the fleeting days of youth, but for the duration of the journey. It is usually the case that only in our advanced years do we finally see how amazing it is to be young.

Rest in peace Elise. You were my first, and only girlfriend. You meant so much to me and to hear of your passing has broken me. I will cherish the memories we had close to my heart. Just two kids trying to figure out how relationships even work 😂 I wish I could’ve been better to you. I wish you didn’t feel so cornered that you had to take your life. Only 20 years old. You were beautiful inside and out. I loved you. Rest in peace beautiful. 28/3/24

[@sierra2463]

I ve been through trauma. For me this reminds of how precious life is. It's weird how you guys are all getting depressed from it. YES LIFE WILL BE AND SEEM IMPOSSIBLY HARD but you will survive and when you do you will so glad you did. Maybe you don't understand American beauty. Life is beautiful because it's fleeting. Every single moment will last forever - don't sit around being depressed sit around being in awe of this existing! At all. X

[@LukeConstantino]

I remember being a 7 year old kid in Brooklyn reading all the skateboarding magazines and doing the tricks by myself. Spilled a lot, road rash, but still nailed them through practice. My heart was Dogtown, with my Simms deck, neoprene wheels and mailed instructions in pencil from somebody in Cali on how to put them on. I'm 48 now, and still ride. I love when the kids in the park say to me when I'm in my suit: " Mister... You sure you can do this?" I smile, start with a tic tac, gleam the cube, flip the deck and 360. My heart is still young, my body still works and I love when the kids ask me to show them some moves. They don't know my journey... But I relive it every time I get on a good board. Beautiful vid... Thank you.

[@markandersen6595]

Goose bumps reading your - I can't ride the board anymore, but happily still tease the kids about how good we were on the roads not smooth bowls - they love taking the p**s back. Stay safe
