I was so energetic that the moment this song started playing I ran to the balcony to dance under the moonlight, noting it was the first time I did this and the last indeed .
Forever Young! I want to be forever young. Do you really want to live forever?
Forever Young! in this life? 😏..
Marian Gold-Alphaville, who sang "Forever Young" in the 80's, is seventy years old now... A wish that humanity has not been able to grant yet.
Many centuries ago, the ancestors had an ultimate goal, which was to stay alive and young in this life. They had been in search of ways to fulfill that dream. Some kings sent expeditions because of their supposition of the existence of the Fountain of Youth. No, it's not a movie plot like Jack Sparrow's. It was a true aim; they also demanded the herbalists find plants and make mixtures that could achieve the ever-wanted youth, when, by accident, some medicines were discovered.
Forever Young is a song I used to listen to when I was a teenager. In spite of my young age, I understand that staying young, even for a short period of time like a hundred years old, is impossible. How about staying young forever in this earthly life! Furthermore, I was thoughtful about the idea of staying young forever in paradise, which made me delighted every time I listened to this song. So, this video reminded me of a situation I experienced that caused extremely novel feelings.
Our flat was near the sea, and our balcony had a view like the one in this video. In the middle of a summer, there was a lunar night when there wasn't electricity and all generators were off. We could only hear the waves crashing gently against the shore. I was in a moony mood to listen to melodies on my Walkman cassette player. I was so energetic that the moment this song started playing, I ran to the balcony to dance under the moonlight, noting it was the first time I did this and the last indeed .
I danced as if no one was watching, imagining myself as young forever in heaven, moving my hands up and down, waving to the moon to send his silver rope and pull me up to fly and dance among the stars. I danced like I never did before, even when I was alone 🤭
At nearly the end of the song, I calmed down, catching my breath and waking up my forever young self, yet still moving on the beat. I watched the surroundings: the dimming sky with the little stars twinkling, the full moon glittering, the serene sea sparkling; it was truly a glamorously charming night.
As I turned my head to the left, towards the roof of the close building just next to our balcony, I was shocked by black figures of people seated in a loop enjoying the night silence under the moonlight gazing at me 😱 or so I thought.
Don't ask this teeny, quite quiet, shy girl about her feelings at that moment. Since there wasn't any power to watch TV, I guess the moon spotted its light on me in this enchanting night to reveal my dunce-like dance as a soiree show but muted to our neighbors. 🤣
I now realize that such memories will hopefully last forever, which make us forever young.
Note: The song, I used to listen to, was a remix with a fast rhythm, so imagine my moves 😂
