The Most Popular Alphaville Video

“Forever Young” (1984) pairs the band’s performance with dreamlike imagery filmed at Holloway Sanatorium, heightening the song’s timeless meditation on youth. Directed by Brian Ward, the clip’s candlelit halls, slow-motion tableaux, and portal motif became inseparable from the track’s legacy. A 2024 HD update refreshed the classic for new audiences, cementing it as Alphaville’s most-watched official video.
