Best Answer

The song 'Forever Young' by Rod Stewart is a powerful song about youth during the Cold War. Several lines allude to the nuclear race between U.S. and U.S.S.R. including, "Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst. Are you going to drop the bomb or not?" Another great metaphor used in the song is the phrase "turn our golden faces to the sun" that is referencing a nuclear explosion, which can, for a brief second, rival the heat of the sun. This beautiful song is a powerful metaphor about the fragility of life during the Cold War.
