Boy In Space Delivers Ethereal Nostalgia with "Forever Young" Cover

Swedish pop angel Boy in Space brings an exquisite freshness to an 80’s pop classic with his cover of Alphaville’s “Forever Young.” With elegant falsetto vocals over airy production and a delicate guitar, Robin Lundbäck’s latest track is sure to be a stand-out among the list of cover versions of this eternally youthful anthem.

While many previous versions of “Forever Young” have been arena-type belters that are typical of pub sing-a-longs, Boy In Space’s take evokes a delicate ethereality that brings to mind the innocence of days of youth. It also manages to wonderfully epitomise the artist’s signature nostalgic vibes, and what better way to do that than with a classic song that everyone knows and loves? 

But it’s not just the lushness of the song that will capture your heart. It’s also the way Boy In Space delivers the lyrics: softly, gently, in a manner that gives you chills. Lines such as “I don’t want to perish like a fading horse” brings a new sense of urgency that conjures up a universal desire to live with purpose. 

In these difficult and bizarre times, “Forever Young” may seem like a relief from days spent in fear and confusion. It’s sure to soothe the soul, and it brings a sense of hope during a time in which we feel helpless and unsure about the world around us. It may not solve all of the world’s problems, but there is no doubt that “Forever Young” is a sweet escape from these dark times, even if it’s just for three minutes.

“Forever Young” is a wonderful addition to Boy In Space’s sparkling discography, and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us this year!
