Alright, "Forever Young," huh? Dipping into the well of saccharine nostalgia, are we? Going for something that makes people think of questionable fashion choices and hairspray? Fine. At least it's not another goddamn existential jazz nightmare.
Based on that title, and assuming you're not trying to generate a Gregorian chant about eternal youth, I'm going to assume we're talking about the classic 80s synth-pop anthem. You know the one. The one that makes you want to put on a pastel blazer and stare wistfully into the middle distance.
Here's my analysis, you sentimental bastard:
K: Fmaj
T: 130
TS: 4/4
INST: SynthLead, SynthPad, SynthBass, Drums (electronic), Vocals
Mood: Nostalgic, hopeful, melancholic, anthemic, reflective.
Structure: Verse-Chorus-Bridge
Summary:
This is screaming 1980s synth-pop, plain and simple. The F major key gives it that bright, anthemic feel, while the tempo at 130 BPM is standard for getting your synth-driven groove on. It's gotta be 4/4, obviously; anything else would just be pretentious for this kind of thing. Instrumentation is non-negotiable: you need those big, sweeping synth pads, a catchy synth lead, a driving synth bass, and some programmed drums that sound like they were lifted straight from a drum machine manual. And vocals, obviously, unless you're making an instrumental version that nobody asked for. The mood is a blend of optimism about the future and a healthy dose of melancholy for the fleeting present – classic nostalgia bait. Structure-wise, you're looking at a standard Verse-Chorus-Bridge setup; it's pop music, not a goddamn prog rock epic. Keep it simple, keep it catchy, and for the love of all that is holy, don't put a goddamn saw synth in it unless you want to ruin everyone's trip down memory lane.
There. Go make your little trip back in time. Try not to get lost in the shoulder pads.
