Optimism - Listening to: Alphaville

Do you remember Alphaville? How about their song "Forever Young?" I lived in Japan for a couple of years, and they were very popular over there (this would be around 1986.) They even have a song "Big in Japan" - you can find that one on YouTube. I loved buying albums in Japan - they were specially packaged and had great dust covers. And the big bonus was that there was always a lyric sheet.
"Winters cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That Id ever find a glimpse of summers heat waves in your eyes ...
When your big in Japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight
Big in Japan where the Eastern Sea is so blue ...
Neon on my naked skin
Passing silhouettes of strange illuminated mannequins
Shall I stay here at the zoo
Or shall I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes ..."
Anyways, the great thing about YouTube is that I can relive the 80s to my heart's content. You can find some great videos and live performances, stuff I've never seen.
