Happy New 2025 From Andy Singapore 60s Music Blog!


happy new year 2025 
to all blog readers, friends, fans 
and contributing writers!

'Forever Young'
Laura Branigan

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?

Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are the melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?

So many adventures, couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams waiting out in the blue
We'll let them come true

Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever and ever

[Selected verses only.
Check out the full song at its original website.]

"I enjoyed Laura Branigan's song. I guess that since her voice and her music live on via online videos and recordings, in a sense she does get to be forever young in a way. We are fortunate to live in a time when technology allows us to keep and share sound and images across time and distance."
