schönsten Lieder aller Zeiten OMD dieses Lied hab ich immer gesucht es ist ein ganz besonderes für mich mit das schönste Lied.sie sind alle schön aber dieses weiss nicht warum könnte es den ganzen Tag hören.und ich finde die Sänger sehen heute noch attraktiver und hübscher aus.
I had never heard of Louise Brooks before and felt deeply touched by her life. A stunning young woman whose misfits haunt us to this date. To me the best song by OMD and considerably one of the most beautiful ones ever.
Oh my GOD!!! Amazing! Finally found the song that has haunted me for the past 31 years. I remember as a child of 12 hearing the song at some music store but never knew the name of the song or the artist. And have not heard it since then. I remembered the chorus and have been searching for it using the chorus but had no luck until I watched mr somebody’s compilation of hit music from 1991!! Mission Accomplished. I have found the song after all these years.
It's great when you are looking for a song for years - then find it. I had a fruitless search for one from the 90s. I had just given up looking, when it appeared on a Top of the Pops repeat!
I heard "Never going to get to France" on the radio once back in '83 but it took me 28 years hear it again. I found a castaway disk in a snowbank on Yellowhead 6, cleaned off and played it and there it was.

Louise Brooks was the prettiest woman who ever lived. God rest her soul. Thank you OMD for making her memory live on. I will watch the movie one day and then really fall in love 😍
I recently watched a documentary about her. Very interesting and beautiful woman with a very heartbreaking past of sexual abuse. These are experiences that wreck and shape the life and character of a person forever. Hope her soul has found peace.
Louise Brooks was so bright, full of life, and energy; just, think of what she could have accomplished, if she were here now at "that age" again. The photograph of a "Long String of Pearls" by Eugene R. Richee from 1928 is sheer perfection. The World didn't know what it had, because she defined what would become, "Old Hollywood Glamour" -- Louise deserved so much more, than what life gave her.
Don't be naïve, Louise Brooks was a HUGE star in her time. Just because you don't know her story, don't assume she didn't create her own Tsunami in her own time.
A rare timeless beauty, that wouldn't look out of place today, or even in ancient Egypt. Her style and chic will never go out of fashion. a great song and tribute.May she rest in piece.
OMD really captured something special on this track. I just feel so much empathy whenever I hear it. I can sense the loneliness and tragedy they conveyed perfectly here.
OMD must be one of the all time greatest bands ever, there talent at writing and performing such beautiful songs is endless, and this is one of my favourites!
Amazing song. Love the 80s music. The more I revisit it, the more I love it even more. This song is so nostalgic to me and my friends, as many others. Great music is timeless and love reading the other stories of others on the comments, because 80s was an era that we all shared and loved, the music the memories and the lifestyle that most of us enjoyed. Thank you for that beautiful era and glad to have been part of that decade growing up.
100%. The first time I saw Louise was in this video, back in 1991. I was 18, and for a good few years after the song's release, I had assumed that Louise was a contemporary actress/model that the band had hired for the video to play a fictional 1920's movie star.
More to the point- OMD took someone who was forgotten and kept them alive, how beautiful as always 😍🥰😇 which is why I have loved them for 30 years xxxx
Well done because me included have made comments about poor Louise Brooks yet massive respect to OMD for keeping her name alive. Thank you for making that point ❤
Born in Kansas On an ordinary plain Ran to New York But ran away from fame Only seventeen When all your dreams came true But all you wanted Was someone to undress you And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain Still the grace remains And though the face has changed You're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see Frame of silence Of an innocence divine Is a dangerous creation When you fail the test of time And all the photographs Of ghosts of long ago Still they hurt you so Won't let you go And you still don't know And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see When you look around yourself now Do you recognize the girl The one who broke a thousand hearts Terrified the world And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain And if the face has changed The grace remains And you're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see
And yet many of the clips in this video also make her appear ghost like owing to the nature of the film, not that I disagree with your points. She was a very interesting person who witnessed a lot of change (she was born in TR's Presidency and died in Reagan's), experienced way too much abuse and neglect, and was tossed aside by cruel and abusive film industry. Granted, she made a number of decisions that were probably not the best, but in some cases she didn't have much choice. For instance, If she had taken Pabst's advice and stayed in Berlin in 1929 (probably the best choice without hindsight), that could have led to an even worse outcome considering what was happening there just a few years later.
Que gran música que inevitablemente me transporta a mi adolescencia cuando veíamos el mundo tan diferente y sin saberlo escuchábamos la mejor música de todos los tiempos
I bought the DVD of Pandora's Box. When I began watching it, I understood why Louise Brooks deserved her place in movie history. Her performance was brilliant and her face just mesmerizing.
I'm going to buy it too; downloaded the film off this site, but only 480px, good enough for my small screen, but not so good when I eventually get a large TV (42")....... one day.
One of my all-time favorite films. I bought it on VHS back in the early '90s, then on a British import DVD, and yet again when the Criterion edition came out. But I also see it in theaters whenever I get the opportunity.
There’s also Diary Of A Lost Girl“ (Tagebuch einer Verlorenen) , her other European silent movie with Pabst - it‘s almost as good as Pandora‘s Box. You can find it in a fine quality on YT.
Louise Brooks fue una de las más fascinantes y bellas actrices de todos los tiempos...Declarada "Icono Inmortal del Cine "por la Cinemateca Francesa en 1962,es una de las mujeres más modernas e intemporales del siglo XX...Divina. ❤
Three times in my life, I've had the great honor to meet and converse with these 2 distinguished gentlemen. We all have a certain number of very special, material items we hold, or admire from a distance in our homes, or watch, wear, or listen to. One of the greatest treasures I'll have until the day I die is, my so beautiful 12" single cover of Pandora's Box, signed by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. They were very careful about where they placed their signatures. In no way did they want their names to diminish the eternal beauty of Louise Brooks. I told the guys how much I appreciated their heartfelt tribute to this radiant Star of Silent Film, who left an incandescent mark in the emotions of anyone who saw her performances on the Silver Screen. OMD told me, they wrote this song and composed the music because she meant that much to them. True Stars never really fade away. In time, their light might diminish, but someone out there will discover them for the first time, and the stardust magic begins again. I own some of her films on DVD and Blu-ray. Even now, there is no one I can compare her to. Thank You, Gentlemen, for creating a wonderful song, a perfect rhythm, a musical score and words that still resonate and speak volumes about Louise Brooks, and your own, very special talent.
One of the things I love about OMD is that they write melodically deeply satisfying songs about such unusual and/or such deep topics. One thing that goes through many of them though is women suffering - its in Joan of Arc, Helen of Troy, La Femme Accident, Bloc bloc, Woman 3, and this one. There is also the dollar girl which like some other OMD numbers has a pop music exterior but has a very dark lyric content (you find this too in Enola Gay and Dresden which of course are about war and mass murder)
They were my favourite band in the eighties but in retrospect, I am not sure why. Many of the songs are still good but in truth they do not have many ideas and some of their songs are unoriginal.
Her exquisite portrayal of human emotions was masterful and added to the fact that she was rather attractive too made her perfect to be cast in the film role that she was.
Few have built such beautiful musical bridges between the past and today (which is already yesterday). Thank you OMD for moving us with such good taste in an indispensable act of memory!
she's eternal, again. Actually she didn't die forgotten (as the video might imply), the French rediscovered her in the 50's, the good old frenchies with all that old good taste.
Thanks to OMD. Fascinating and Wonderful LOUISE BROOKS,a unique actress, all in presence and expression, the image of a bygone era but Louise continues to touch us by the magic of the seventh art, by her freshness and timeless beauty, unforgettable.We can only admire and love her and especially regret that she was not born in our time.What Star she would have done, nothing to do with all the female figures "did you see me" who play it and fart, ridiculous of the Web.They are just passing by and no one will keep a fond, even tiny memory of their person.
I had the biggest crush on Louise Brooks back in the day. Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl are still two of my favorite movies. I hope to see them in the theater again some day. This is a great song. I remember buying the cassette single 30 years ago.
Read Barry Paris' book about her. She was quite active sexually, but only when the impulse took her--never to advance her career. Directors and producers were outraged that she couldn't be bullied or bribed into it
The genius of this group is releasing songs that totally hook you before you realise the poignant political message that's hidden in them. I'm at an age now where I hear these messages and really appreciate the point that's being made.
I live near Cherryvale, Kansas. It is also home to Vivian Vance who played Ethel Murtz on "I Love Lucy." The Pledge of Allegiance was also written by Frank Bellamy, a resident. Cherryvale was home to the Bloody Benders, one of the most gruesome families of the Old West. I've always loved this song but until today didn't realize that it was inspired by a Louise Brooks film.
The sensual overlap between "femme fatale" and innocent lady was a mark of Louise Brooks. The scene when Jack the Ripper did not want to kill her, but he could not avoid his instinct, killing her with a scissor is an icon. The music of OMD is wonderful. I want to add that Brooks wrote articles about art to a newspaper in the USA during years.
Been in love with her for about 40 years, saddo that I am. A great short video on you tube is 'Louise Brooks Walking' she even moves like heaven. No wonder the man in the excerpt is bewitched by her. Great song and tribute from OMD. Its sad but joyous too. Thanks Andy. RIP Lulu.
I'm here thanks to LionHeart covering for Robert Elms today on BBC Radio London. He just played this and reminded me of what a wonderful song this is. Just so amazingly uplifting. OMD you write the best songs. Another song out of many that I love is La Femme Accident especially the 12" version. ✌️ 💖 🙏 😊
I love this song. I listen to it over and over. On repeat while driving to and from work ;-) As for Louise, she was absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo sad she died alone :-(
I've noticed nearly any record or music I listen to always has between 2% and 6% dislikes. What I'm wondering is, are these possibly all the same sad sacks disliking everything? If so, you've got to feel sorry for them, fancy going through life not getting any enjoyment out of any music.
mikka m because Marlene getting ribs out was just a rumor but never actually proven. But even if it was true it wasn’t a something happening in a large scale like it was with plastic surgery if at all . It was never a real thing
I love the silent black and white movies. I admit I learned who Louise Brooks was by watching this video after listening to OMD's song! Thanks OMD! She really was and is capturing the audience's imagination! ^_^
Finally found this great song after 30 years when I was younger I didn’t understand what It was about but wow really powerful lyrics sad OMD really know how to make great songs pity you don’t hear them on the radio anymore RIP Louise
This is brilliant, I'm a massive fan of Brooksie and I can't believe I have never seen this until a friend recommended it to me due to my love of silent film! Clara Bow is my fave actress of all time but Louise Brooks is my second, she dazzled and was an intelligent, outspoken woman who refused to back down to society's moral standards. This is the woman who campaigned against Valium because she thought it took away sexual pleasure from women! I have a massive poster of her on my wall right next to Clara, where she belongs, with her idol. Love you Brooksie. Pandoras Box is an amazing film and one of my faves, see it you can buy this one easily on amazon.
+Misty O She even had a fling with Bela Lugosi and covered his back in bite marks. He apparently showed off these marks with great pride to his friends an fellow actors
+Daev Arthur Ford ahh interesting I knew he had painted her nude and thought that something maybe went on between the two of them but I didn't know about the bite marks so thanks! sounds delicious! I'd rather bite Clara though but I'd happily have bitten both of them ;)
My favourite Image of Louise Brooks is the Profile shot on a totally black background. wearing a very long string of pearls. I like Lillian Gish as well .Ive only just started to seriously look at Clara Bows work, There is a very good hour long documentary on Louise Brooks somewhere on youtube
I love it, 80's, was the best time....I was 17...❤😊and this Saturday I will see OMD in the live koncert in Prague. YUPPIE✌💃🙏Best regards from CZECH REP.
You always hear people say "this band is underrated, and that band is underrated" and I am no music expert but it is hard for me to imagine what music over the past forty years would have been like without these guys. And this song is like a forgotten but beloved toy from your youth hidden under a lot of dust somewhere in an attic rediscovered. Deep sense of joy in hearing this again> :-)
Every time I come back from work at night, my cat is already waiting for me and we go out for a while, today I played this song and looked at the night sky... a beautiful feeling of insignificance ♥️ 🎶And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain Still the grace remains And though the face has changed You're still the same🎶
I loved this song when I first heard it. The lyrics were so touching and it told the story about Louise Brooks beautifully. Louise was a very beautiful girl. I bought the CD this was on which was called Sugar Tax. It was a brilliant album and I have always loved OMD.
That's the curse of being beautiful, yeah, it opens doors for you, but also draws all the wrong types of people to you who will abuse you for their own selfish desires :(

The ability of this band to write such wonderful songs is a testament to their enormous talents!
Indeed! I wish there were such creative and innovative bands today.
I find this comment somehow weird.

This song is from 1991 though.
I would do anything to turn the clock back

It's great when you are looking for a song for years - then find it. I had a fruitless search for one from the 90s. I had just given up looking, when it appeared on a Top of the Pops repeat!
I heard "Never going to get to France" on the radio once back in '83 but it took me 28 years hear it again. I found a castaway disk in a snowbank on Yellowhead 6, cleaned off and played it and there it was.

Louise Brooks was the prettiest woman who ever lived. God rest her soul. Thank you OMD for making her memory live on. I will watch the movie one day and then really fall in love 😍
They were a man. What did you think Pandora’s box is.
Agreed. Well nearly. Maybe second to Monroe.
I don't think i've ever seen such natural beauty in a woman. Why has the world hardly heard of her
@@raymondbradley4558 absolutely Raymond what a lady.
Monroe was second to Louise.
Louise Brooks, the most beautiful and underrated woman in acting history. Her legacy will last 'till the end of time.
This takes me back to my younger days 65 years old now and still love listening to OMD
Agree OMD is one of the bands I appreciate even more now than I did in the 80s. Many other bands I listened to more thn now take the bakc seat.
I'm 61 . My favourite band ever 😊
Me too And I really loved Louise She was so far ahead of her time
I recently watched a documentary about her. Very interesting and beautiful woman with a very heartbreaking past of sexual abuse. These are experiences that wreck and shape the life and character of a person forever. Hope her soul has found peace.

She looks like an angel. It's so sad she died alone. RIP.
She was quite different, beautiful and very open-minded
Recently discovered Louise Brooks and she is/was phenomenal! RIP Louise, your presence on the screen lives on...
Louise Brooks was absolutely beautiful. She had an incredibly modern look, considering the period she was in the movies.
She was an advanced woman at her time...
100%. The first time I saw Louise was in this video, back in 1991. I was 18, and for a good few years after the song's release, I had assumed that Louise was a contemporary actress/model that the band had hired for the video to play a fictional 1920's movie star.
Classy Lady
She was stunning…
Exactly! Her smile, her expressions, her moves.. it looks like she was in a black and white movie released last year.
More to the point- OMD took someone who was forgotten and kept them alive, how beautiful as always 😍🥰😇 which is why I have loved them for 30 years xxxx
Well done because me included have made comments about poor Louise Brooks yet massive respect to OMD for keeping her name alive. Thank you for making that point ❤
Beautiful, incendiary, uncompromising, brilliant..
There will never be another Louise Brooks.
She really was a natural stunning woman. Incredibly sultry. Awesome how OMD honored her. Only an 80’s group
Quién era ella?
@@juanrobertoalcarazlemusLouise Brooks. An American actress popular in the late 1920’s
Born in Kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to New York
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted
Was someone to undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
Awesome lyrics,voices & music!
Thx! Very deep lyrics, indeed!

It's just a brilliant early 90's tune that captures the pure romance of that era. If you fell in love listening to this song, lucky you.
I did, with Louise Brooks❤❤❤
Louise Brooks is immortalized by her movies and Books. This is so beautiful and represents her as a young spirit always.

It is actually odd. La Femme Accident means nothing in French either. Gibberish. A bit like No Parlez by Paul Young ( great album, though).

Few have built such beautiful musical bridges between the past and today (which is already yesterday). Thank you OMD for moving us with such good taste in an indispensable act of memory!
Este es un tema que jamas me cansaré de escuchar aunQue pase el tiempo, será de mis favoritas.
she's eternal, again.
Actually she didn't die forgotten (as the video might imply), the French rediscovered her in the 50's, the good old frenchies with all that old good taste.
what a woman she was! i just love her! so brave! RIP Louise
Wuooooo
She's a tyranny like all Hollywood
Oh, knew her personally did you?
Agree she was briliant!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Excellent song and video tribute to a beautiful woman....5 stars!!
Thanks to OMD. Fascinating and Wonderful LOUISE BROOKS,a unique actress, all in presence and expression, the image of a bygone era but Louise continues to touch us by the magic of the seventh art, by her freshness and timeless beauty, unforgettable.We can only admire and love her and especially regret that she was not born in our time.What Star she would have done, nothing to do with all the female figures "did you see me" who play it and fart, ridiculous of the Web.They are just passing by and no one will keep a fond, even tiny memory of their person.
I had the biggest crush on Louise Brooks back in the day. Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl are still two of my favorite movies. I hope to see them in the theater again some day. This is a great song. I remember buying the cassette single 30 years ago.
What a beautiful way to honour this woman ;D
"Louise valued her integrity more than her success"
Man....that was a long time ago and how things have changed.
Haven't they just.
Read Barry Paris' book about her. She was quite active sexually, but only when the impulse took her--never to advance her career. Directors and producers were outraged that she couldn't be bullied or bribed into it
The hotness of Louise Brooks even after 100 years of changing tastes. Absolutely unearthly.
I have had this song ringing in my head for a week not knowing its name despite having it on YT history. Why 80'-90' music has to be too beautiful?😢❤
The genius of this group is releasing songs that totally hook you before you realise the poignant political message that's hidden in them. I'm at an age now where I hear these messages and really appreciate the point that's being made.
Omd отличная группа
Uma linda música, bem arrranjada, com ritmo animadíssimo e em qualquer época, traz lindas lembranças de épicas que não voltam mais . Inesquecível!
A personagem por detrás dessa canção foi alguém de única e, com muita delicadeza e nítida emoção, O.M.D. a soube nos revelar.
I live near Cherryvale, Kansas. It is also home to Vivian Vance who played Ethel Murtz on "I Love Lucy." The Pledge of Allegiance was also written by Frank Bellamy, a resident. Cherryvale was home to the Bloody Benders, one of the most gruesome families of the Old West. I've always loved this song but until today didn't realize that it was inspired by a Louise Brooks film.
I love OMD. I used to have this on cassette tape. And listened to it on my walkman and boom box. Thanks.
The sensual overlap between "femme fatale" and innocent lady was a mark of Louise Brooks. The scene when Jack the Ripper did not want to kill her, but he could not avoid his instinct, killing her with a scissor is an icon. The music of OMD is wonderful. I want to add that Brooks wrote articles about art to a newspaper in the USA during years.
Been in love with her for about 40 years, saddo that I am. A great short video on you tube is 'Louise Brooks Walking' she even moves like heaven. No wonder the man in the excerpt is bewitched by her. Great song and tribute from OMD. Its sad but joyous too. Thanks Andy. RIP Lulu.
Anyone else love this song & the image of Louise Brooks? There is something about her I love
Me too, I'm becoming a little infatuated, RIP beautiful Louise❤❤❤❤
OMD- The best Group ever
I'm here thanks to LionHeart covering for Robert Elms today on BBC Radio London. He just played this and reminded me of what a wonderful song this is. Just so amazingly uplifting. OMD you write the best songs. Another song out of many that I love is La Femme Accident especially the 12" version. ✌️ 💖 🙏 😊
If she was alive today and at the age she is in this movie she would be regarded as one the most beautiful women in the world....RIP Louise
Good old Times !
Good old Musik !
Love forever !
Peace on Earth to all People !
Whether it’s Jeanne d’Arc or Louise Brooks, music lyrics and video make me emotional. Thank you OMD.
Time has not diminished her beauty or spirit.
I love this song. I listen to it over and over. On repeat while driving to and from work ;-) As for Louise, she was absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo sad she died alone :-(
Ta piosenka jest wieczna.🤩
Zgadzam się 👍
Dedicated to the memory of Louise Brooks (1906-1985). Cherchez la Femme!
I've noticed nearly any record or music I listen to always has between 2% and 6% dislikes. What I'm wondering is, are these possibly all the same sad sacks disliking everything? If so, you've got to feel sorry for them, fancy going through life not getting any enjoyment out of any music.
Its eerie how she looks like a modern woman who was dropped into the 1920's. Looks very different compared to other actresses of that era.
GOD Bless You LOUISE BROOKS
kind regards from Paul Williams
from Bartley green Birmingham ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
1920!!! That time there was no plastic surgeons!!! She was naturally classic beauty!!!
@Blind Bob marlene dietchith lost 2 ribs to get a better look
FULANODETAL your off topic. The original comment was about plastic surgery 🤦🏻♂️
@@StMichael7 and what was that, if not beginning of plastic surgery
mikka m because Marlene getting ribs out was just a rumor but never actually proven. But even if it was true it wasn’t a something happening in a large scale like it was with plastic surgery if at all . It was never a real thing
y sin desnudarse
She worked for a while in Saks on 5th Avenue before ending up as a film critic. Quite simply one of the most beautiful women who ever lived.
I love the silent black and white movies. I admit I learned who Louise Brooks was by watching this video after listening to OMD's song! Thanks OMD! She really was and is capturing the audience's imagination! ^_^
Same here. Seeing her in this video for the first time and thought wow! Simply beautiful. Now I have her as a wallpaper on my phone.
Finally found this great song after 30 years when I was younger I didn’t understand what It was about but wow really powerful lyrics sad OMD really know how to make great songs pity you don’t hear them on the radio anymore RIP Louise
Fabulous song , she really was stunning I would have loved to have met her
This is brilliant, I'm a massive fan of Brooksie and I can't believe I have never seen this until a friend recommended it to me due to my love of silent film! Clara Bow is my fave actress of all time but Louise Brooks is my second, she dazzled and was an intelligent, outspoken woman who refused to back down to society's moral standards. This is the woman who campaigned against Valium because she thought it took away sexual pleasure from women! I have a massive poster of her on my wall right next to Clara, where she belongs, with her idol. Love you Brooksie. Pandoras Box is an amazing film and one of my faves, see it you can buy this one easily on amazon.
***** Probably mostly dead unfortunately! But I'm glad you have found them now :) nice to hear from another fan!
You are welcome!
+Misty O She even had a fling with Bela Lugosi and covered his back in bite marks. He apparently showed off these marks with great pride to his friends an fellow actors
+Daev Arthur Ford ahh interesting I knew he had painted her nude and thought that something maybe went on between the two of them but I didn't know about the bite marks so thanks! sounds delicious! I'd rather bite Clara though but I'd happily have bitten both of them ;)
My favourite Image of Louise Brooks is the Profile shot on a totally black background. wearing a very long string of pearls. I like Lillian Gish as well .Ive only just started to seriously look at Clara Bows work, There is a very good hour long documentary on Louise Brooks somewhere on youtube
The larger my number grows, the more I go backwards in time. To a beautiful moment, I am 61.
With you on that 1 Susan
World is becoming crap and is being run by sick globalists which are criminals that want to erase white people from the face of earth.
Use your years of learning to learn how to really live & experience life :)
Excellent and well deserved tribute to Louise Brooks !!
I love it, 80's, was the best time....I was 17...❤😊and this Saturday I will see OMD in the live koncert in Prague. YUPPIE✌💃🙏Best regards from CZECH REP.
see you there Marketo 👌
Esta música, é demais adorooo aliais seu trabalho é fantástico continua trocando em várias festas, grandiosas são inesquecíveis.
Shows what a decent human being Andy McCluskey is to write a song like this about Louise Brooks.
she set the standards of beauty even for todays standards.. WOW beauty personified.... bless her.........
You always hear people say "this band is underrated, and that band is underrated" and I am no music expert but it is hard for me to imagine what music over the past forty years would have been like without these guys. And this song is like a forgotten but beloved toy from your youth hidden under a lot of dust somewhere in an attic rediscovered. Deep sense of joy in hearing this again> :-)
Such a beautiful but sad song,
OMD did her justice !
RIP Louise x
Every time I come back from work at night, my cat is already waiting for me and we go out for a while, today I played this song and looked at the night sky... a beautiful feeling of insignificance ♥️
🎶And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You're still the same🎶
I loved this song when I first heard it. The lyrics were so touching and it told the story about Louise Brooks beautifully. Louise was a very beautiful girl. I bought the CD this was on which was called Sugar Tax. It was a brilliant album and I have always loved OMD.
Finalmente encontrei este canção. Algum brasileiro curtindo esta obra prima?
Aqui
Oiii
Beautiful song, beautiful girl...., sad story !
That's the curse of being beautiful, yeah, it opens doors for you, but also draws all the wrong types of people to you who will abuse you for their own selfish desires :(
Когда-то ещё будучи в подростковом возрасте залипала на этом клипе. Сейчас примерно то же самое, как и тогда.)
Mi canción favorita de OMD...la escucho en el 2019...la voz líder del grupo se mueve genial!!
