    My younger brother died, age 33, april gone -and this was the b-side to OMD on tape. We sung it so much. I miss him. Hard. I would rather be dead than miss him this much.

      He wouldn't want you dead or suffering if he loved you as much as you loved him. I'm sure he would want you to be happy and live your life to its fullest. I lost my mother and she is with me every day.

      I always say to my husband the only problem with OMD, is their intelligence . Their music was almost too good, hence they never got the number one singles which many of their songs deserved. Because all their songs were so strong and so perfect( I do have a soft spot for sailing on the seven seas)

      @@themoores9817 As a 57 year old man their songs released around the early 80's ..Joan of arc, Souvenir, Maid of orleans, electricity, defined a lot of what i went through in my turbulent teens and I always turned to their LP Architecture and Morality to give me some quiet time when the the hormones were running rampant. Now at 57 years old I play those songs and chill and reflect on the stupid decisions I made but cannot undo and I smile. At least I was born in a time that OMD existed.

    Is this not just one of the catchiest tunes of the last 30 years? How can anyone listen to that chorus and NOT sing along....and not tap their foot....and not smile.....and not be uplifted? The 'not' list goes on!
    In terms of style of music, this is a million miles from the likes of Enola Gay, Joan of Arc, Souvenir etc.......but it's just as brilliant as the stuff the earlier OMD treated us to.
