Forever Young” is the second single released by Rod Stewart from his Out of Order album in 1988. The song was a Top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #12, and #9 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts.
Stewart wrote the song with two of his band members: guitarist Jim Cregan and keyboardist Kevin Savigar. Stewart told Mojo magazine in 1995 that he considered “Forever Young” to be one of his favourite songs and the reason for writing it was, “I love ‘Forever Young’, because that was a real heartfelt song about my kids.
I suddenly realized I’d missed a good five years of Sean and Kimberly’s life because I was so busy touring all the time. With these kids now I don’t make that mistake — I take them on tour with me, so I can watch them grow up. So that’s another favourite. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a big hit in England, but it’s like a national anthem here [America].” wiki
I love all of Rod’s material. This is one of his signature trademarks. Awesome!
His songs tell a story of at least two generations’ social and musical journeys.
I love Rod:)
Yes,,Rod is a rock legend! XOXO👍👍
Wasn’t this song used in the movie “Forever Young”?
Yes. The song, brings to mind the movie and the movie brings the song to mind. What a tie in! I love them both. I hope your week is off to a good start. Keep safe and drop in for coffee anytime. 🍃☕️💐☕️🍃
