To me this is their best track ever. I love all OMD music but this holds a very special place for me. At the time of its release I was in the most brilliant relationship with a young lady and even now 42 years later when I hear this I am taken back to those wonderful years we had together. Happy days :-)
I close my eyes and this melody makes me want to cry... The memory of the time of innocence... Where we lived in a world, certainly imperfect, but where the hope of a better tomorrow pushed us to open our eyes and get up... Today I enjoy this music, the pain of seeing this world destroyed... And the hope that the future will become again as in this "souvenir" ❤️🙏
Loved this since I 1st heard OMD back in 1980. my favourite Paul Humphreys song, besides Forever Live n Die.. the man is a genius!. Still listening to OMD today.. but I do miss Mal Holmes...
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark _Souvenir_ (1981) It's my direction It's my proposal It's so hard It's leading me astray My obsession It's my creation You'll understand It's not important now. My situation It's imagination There's no excuse It's instantly a game The conversation The combination I tell the truth My feelings still remain All I need is Co-ordination I can't imagine My destination My intention Ask my opinion But no excuse My feelings still remain.
Makes me happy too Karla. I was 20 in 1980 and i.mey a girl that went away only to come back after 40 years. We still have the 80's to bring us together today and I'm loving it. 😘

Same scenario for me too. I was 22 then, but at 64, I still think of her.
@@marklemon9446 Yep the power of music and I still think of her :-)

'Tis a beautiful song.
Compartilho dessa mesma sensação. Não sou exatamente um saudosista, mas é evidente que nosso mundo acabou, se foi.
God bless💖💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏
Superb!
Well written, I feel for it. Never lose hope
A very emotional song from my youth - It still triggers me back to that time.
Sad song. Haunting sounds but it's real good 👍
snap
31 years for me .
I miss my youth so much
Same

Wow. 80s bliss♨️
The soundtrack of my best years. Driving through the early morning fog in my mg convertible after a night of loving. Forever a dreamer.
Same here ... except I had a Pontiac Laurentian ... it floated. With this song, absolutely sublime
Absolutely addicted to this
I have been in love with this for years. Look up the Italo version by Nicky and Nicky
Aquí en 2023, aun tratando de entender cómo las obsesiones truncan las realidades. Gracias por los recuerdos 😊
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark _Souvenir_ (1981)
It's my direction
It's my proposal
It's so hard
It's leading me astray
My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now.
My situation
It's imagination
There's no excuse
It's instantly a game
The conversation
The combination
I tell the truth
My feelings still remain
All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain.
Thanks it looks so good reading the lyrics then listening to the melody ❤
I like this version so much 🕊️💌
Timeless...

Love Love ❣️❣️ this is an amazing song
This intro already 'kills'. THX 4 DIZ
I had the original album and hundreds of other different albums which I treasured. Unfortunately they were stolen from my house while I was gone. 😔
Sorry to hear that and I hope they get returned
Sorry to hear that :(

Las obras de arte no deben toquetearse, es un error.
lett good
I've always wanted to know where the cover art is taken from. Anyone know?
It is from a photograph of an aerial view of a street café in Düsseldorf in Germany.
@@thesound-chameleonman3580 Thank you. Don't suppose you know how I can find it?
It's the Königsalle. The trams no longer run along the street. They were replaced by an underground line years sgo.
@@neilbell7416 Wonderful. Thanks for the info.
Better than the rubbish of today 😂
Perfect...!!!
💖💖💖💖💘💘🌞🌞🚦🚦🚦🚦
Sacreu blue
Miauuuuuu369
may this be the original from the epoch...???
i have my doubts because of the editing seem inconsistent, in my humble opinion...
Mmmmm , I think I might have to agree with you on that. 👍
Andy didnt sing this song because he didn't write it and it was definitely the right decision paul is definitely much better on vocals
Prefer the short (regular) version. This sounds like some millennial edited the crap out of the original. It's choppy in places.
Not official.... sounds selfmade...
