  Not worth buying. It has nothing special. The mixes are all the same as what was released on the respective albums. If you want a compilation worth buying, get "First Harvest", as that has unique mixes of at least a few songs:
  A Victory Of Love
  Lassie Come Home
  Sounds Like A Melody

  None of those mixes are available anywhere else and they were made exclusively for that compilation. Just something to keep in mind!

  Unless you need absolutely every album, single, compilation, and promo, I'd save your money and go for First Harvest instead.

Songfacts®:

• On the surface, this is a hopeful song celebrating the virtues of youth, but a closer listen reveals a fear of aging and death. The song was written during the Cold War, where the singer is "hoping for the best, but expecting the worst; are you gonna drop the bomb or not?"

• Alphaville was a German synthpop/rock music group. The song was not a big hit when it was released, but has become well known as a result of its use in movies and TV shows. Among its uses are these TV shows:

  It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (episode 103: "Underage Drinking: A National Concern")
  Queer As Folk (season 1, episode 18)
  One Tree Hill (season 4, episode 16).

  And these movies:
  Listen To Me
  Napoleon Dynamite (in the school dance scene).

  It was also used in commercials for Saturn ION automobiles. >>

• This was written by Alphaville members Marian Gold, Bernhard Lloyd and Frank Mertens.

• A year after this was released, Laura Branigan covered it for her album Hold Me and began performing it as an encore at her concerts. The Canadian dance group Temperance recorded the song in 1996.

• In 2005 the Australian band Youth Group recorded this for an episode of the TV show The O.C.. Their release was a hit in Australia. >>
