The two reached a settlement without all the lawsuit drama.So what gives? “The song is very much Rod’s song,” explained his manager, Arnold Stiefel. He had not ocnsciously copied Dylan's song, but once it was pointed out to him, he could see the obvious. So the story goes, when Rod wrote this, he had been influenced by Bob Dylan's song of the same name and theme.
He sang, and sang, and when his band took a break he kept on singing all by himself. It was one of the best shows I have ever been to. Laura from El Paso, TxI had the good fortune to see Rod Stewart in concert about 16 years ago.I always had that song in memory of him and out of thinking for over an hour of what may or may not happen and out of all the millions of songs in this world today any song could have played on the radio but the song that played right after I was done thinking was "Forever Young" almost as if he was sending me a message - any song could have played but the only one that did was "Forever Young." I was thinking about that for a long time and when I stopped thinking about what may happen the next song on the radio was "Forever Young." Now since my brother was killed in 1991 I always had that song in memory of him because he was only 29 yrs old. While I was in the emergency room I was wondering constantly if I was going to live or die. Jeff from Altoona, PaI was in the VA hospital for over one week because my dilantin level to control seizures was to high.Mary Helen from HomeI do believe that Rod Stewart's Forever Young is an adaptation of Bob Dylan's song of the same title, according to secondhandsongs data.I tear up before he even starts singing in the song! To me, it just sounded like the wishes that parents want for their kids. Michelle from Wilson, NcWhen my son (now 20) graduated high school, I made a slide show of him growing up and this was one of the songs that I used.Cheryl Aubuchon from UsaWhat about the little kid in this video? What's his name is he done any acting?.Susan from Colorado Does anyone know where this video was filmed?.Seventhmist from 7th HeavenThis was from Stewart's later, more restrained stage, which I appreciated.The two men agreed to participate in the ownership of the song and share Stewart's royalties. After its completion, the song was then sent to Dylan, asking whether he had a problem with it. Brad Fox from UkA complete rip off of Bob Dylan's song forever young - shameless - he is lucky he did not get sued - but Bob Dylan is above this !įrom wikipedia - The structure of the lyrics in this song is very similar to a Bob Dylan song of the same title.No reason for it's existence other than Rod to tell his kids "I made a song for you", and they're the only ones who need to bother listening to it. Music is super simple and could have been done by a million different people at least as well. Basic thrust of the song is Rod singer "forever young" over and over again. Catt-a from New YorkThis is an incredibly boring song from a guy who has some great songs in his catalog.It's not going to hurt you to shut up about it. It almost made me feel like he was with me.
My father died when I was 19 and this song made a beautiful addition to my wedding. In fact, the DJ for my wedding found an incredibly beautiful rendition (that I wish I could find) as a tribute to my late father in lieu of the Father-Daughter. "Forever Young" reminds me of my father (who always jokingly lied about his age he was perpetually 39). Mama C from Sc, UsI can't believe the bitterness and shade in many of these comments.
