This will be the first song which gets played at my wife's funeral service this weekend. To me she will always remain "forever young", especially since she was only 43 years old when she died. She was a big fan of Alphaville, and if there is one perfect version of this evergreen you don't have to look any further. A moment of magic for which I'm eternally grateful.
I just want to thank my mom for letting me play piano at a young age. Even though I don't know how many times I've tried to give up, or quit, or skip going to practice, my mom still pushed me and I kept going. Now, I have quit, due to money issues, but I still kept playing. I learned to play this song by ear. Thank you mom for letting me play piano., I love you so much
"God gave him a gift"? Excuse me, but this can't only be something he received as some sort of gift! Oh no! To achieve this level of his, you must practice, A LOT! Thanks for going through all of that hard work man, and letting us watch you performing what you have learned. The piece is fantasic!
Such a sad and at the same time beautiful feeling of nostalgia, reminiscing about the good times in the past and a burning hope for a good future. Beautiful
If you’ve found this masterpiece in 2024 and beyond you have a great soul and fantastic taste. We don’t know each other and likely never will but I want to wish you all the best of luck in life health, prosperity, and happiness. Cheers 🥂
This song reminds me of my Grandmother’s passing. My heart turned to this song during my grieving moments, I miss her dearly. Well played, you did this great song justice.
Chills........ f***ing chills.......... You have serious talent. There was so much power and emotion in this cover. I can't find a single version with singing that has the same intensity as yours.
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 men Can you imagine when this race is won Turn our golden faces into the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the, the mad men 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 couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue We let them 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?
One of best friends died on the 7th of July 2012. At his service I made a memorial dvd/slideshow and his mother requested that this be the first song played. Ever since then everything about this song's meaning has changed for me. and when Kyle brings this mood to the song it makes me tear up RIP Bailey Booth & Joshua Hurst
When you play, there is a choir of angels crying in the distance.... what an affect you have on people. keep playing.. do the world a favor and keep playing.. i love your music.... I too am crying because im thinking of all the sad people that have not heard this.... poor souls... :")
You don't know how much this song and your music means to me. I play it when I'm down. I can really feel your soul speaking in these pieces, and I'm glad to know that music is not dead. You have given me my life and the blood in my veins still flows because of you. On the behalf of I hope countless others, I wish to offer you a truly heartfelt thanks.
Just finished learning this version for a talent show ( I'm just going into 9th grade) Kyle is such an insperation to me. I really enjoy learning some of his work.
The few days i spend at home when i am not at sea or visiting my girl 10 000 miles away is when i play this song on my horiffic keyboard. Still everytime i give myself goosebumps and tears flow from my eyes, it's simply amazing and has such emotion. I cant really describe what it feels like to play this. Thank you Kyle for playing it too so i can listen when i am away.
I never did marry her. But the sentiment is still the same. I'm happy that so many people enjoy this. Kyle really did us all a solid. Tell me at least one of you used it for a wedding or date.
I look at one of his songs... think ok ill learn this, look at another... thing ok ill learn THAT.. then look at another... when will this stop! SO GOOD DUDE YOUR SO GOOD!
Why am I crying? Perhaps I miss my dog? My childhood (though I'm sixteen)? Regular Show? Adventure Time? My Ability to think straight? Whatever the case, this is going to help. My comment is one out of (currently) 1,268. Maybe someone or the RU-vidr will read this, and understand. There is so much value and beauty behind this.
We long for the past because we can only experience it once. One day we'll be looking back in 20 years time thinking about the good times now. The fact is that we should cherish these days and the people around us now and then we can truly enjoy life.
Very very sorry for your loss! Glad you shared all the moments you did together…those simple mundane things become special…and May you both always remain Forever Young to each other. Very good tribute to your beautiful relationship. Thoughts and prayers.
oh my god, I've been sitting here with my mouth hanging open for the last half of this. Everytime I watch a video of yours I am absolutely stunned, you're so amazing
You're truly spectacular - to play Forever Young without absolutely any accompaniment and yet conveying that same, if not better, effect is nothing short of genius. Hope u r tasting success in the music industry as you deserve to...
Thanking God is not an insult!!!!!!! Mr. Landry is talented and yes he has practiced very hard, but at the same time God has blessed him with this gift. He would not be playing it if God had not given him this gift.
Thank you for this. I played this for my pitbull Tyson, my best friend , when he was sick, id sing my own lyrics about him to him. He passed away 11/28/17, a tuesday, so i play this every tuesday roughly the same time he passed away. Tyson Tuesday..R.i.p. Tyson..you'll always be my best friend. Love ya Tyson
I can just reach an octave plus one, but I struggle. I wish I had bigger hand to satisfy the chord requirement, but I'm nearly twenty, so it's a little infeasible that my hands are going to grow. I guess I could modify the chord.... Anyway, sensational work, Sir. *tips hat*.
Mr. Landry, outstanding. I would have to say this is the most beautiful cover of a song that I have ever heard. If you are not a professional musician/composer the world is missing out. Do it.
I'll tell you how that actually goes in real life, yes the girls will come, but only for the music. The second you try to go past that they bolt. Girls are fucking weird, they all have this unrealistic idea about what a guy is from idiotic media brainwashing.
Your variation of this song is so beautiful! I would love to play it my self! Could you post or send the notes? I would even pay for the sheets! Such a good cover! waiting for a answer :)
Kyle. I don't even know you in person, but you already captivated me with this melody. This is so incredibly beautiful that sends shivers trough my whole body. Thank you for sharing this wonderful ¨magical melody¨.

Bravo, this is amazing; I like so much that song. When my parents got married, one of my uncles made a video with photos of my parents and their lives since they were little, and my father chose this song for him. I heard this song since I was a baby, and I like it so much. Thank you, your cover is great.
