In the ’80s summers were endless. Time didn’t exist. Friends were the most important things, not iPhones. The girls were wonderful. The parties were awesome. Life had some optimistic aura. Love was felt so deep, everyone had time for me, we had everything we need to be happy, every kiss was larger than anything today, every dream was to come true, we were so imperfect but that made us just perfect, everything we felt was pure and deep, everything we were doing was innocent. And all those faces of my friend with those smiles....priceless. Clubs were awesome, music cut deeper into our hearts than anything today. We were innocent creatures who just wanted to give love, to be loved, to have good friends, and a lot of fun with them. Some of them are not with us anymore. I am sure that they waiting for me somewhere up there......and I am sure that when we meet again that we will be 17 again and that we will smile again, dance again, play guitar, that we will tell old stories again....ohh often I can't wait. In my adult life, I have responsibly done everything that was expected. I worked hard, paid my bills, find a great partner, traveled, suffered at my work, saved, sacrificed, invested, was kind, honest, responsible, and maintained health and friendships but no matter what I do and how hard I tried nothing, nothing ever come even close to the beauty of those years, to that innocence, to that intensity, to that first kiss. Nothing that I can expect in the rest of my life will ever come close to it. From now on it will be one problem after another, with deteriorating health and decay. Our Father, who art in heaven…if you think that I carried my cross long enough….take me back to that place and time of the 80s and just leave me there. That is my place for eternal life. And please keep my batteries in the Walkman always full.
There was Thatcher, the miners' strike, insurrection in the streets, the Falklands Conflict, the Cold War and the small, but often very hot "Troubles......" Wasn't all bad, I'm sure!
@@Tourist1967 Rose tinted glasses are great 😀 I remember air pollution, mass unemployment and the AIDS epidemic the most, lol. But yea, the summers were great tbf.
I so miss these days. I really hope that when we have passed on, we get to revisit days of our lives. My 17 year old son passed away last year, he was born 2005 and he loved listening to 80s music. He knew it was a special time somehow. I hope I see him the afterlife, I will take him back to these days so he can see why they were so great. See you when I get there Curtis 🙏
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now, is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's........Priceless, and I wouldn't change them for the world!
Isn't it amazing how you can hear a few bars of music from a particular song and you're suddenly stabbed with a pang of nostalgia that makes your eyes well up? That happens to me every time I hear this song and wonder where the hell the years went.
My dear sister passed away right before Thanksgiving ...This was one of "our " songs when we were kids growing up together in the wonderful, amazing 80's. I will keep this song close to my heart for as long as I am here, it will truly be a souvenir.
Nostalgia, bitter/sweet. I was in my prime meeting girls and having a blast with friends and life was easy. Now I'm 57 and my life and the world around me will never come close to those halcyon days of the 80's. Young people have everything and nothing now, nothing seems tangible or authentic anymore.
@@paulfox5493 I'm 54,the 80,s seems to stir more emotions in people musically than any other decade,just so glad i was there dancing and snogging to it all! :-)
Me and my grandpa had this shared love of all things music and him being so cool.. he’d let me control the stereo from like 6-26 years old whenever we were together. He really loved OMD and The Sundays. I miss him so much.
THIS was a huge PART of my life. I met my wife in the AUGUST of 1981.So it has become OUR tune . WE are still together and WILL be 33 years married in September. We have a son and granddaughter. Just a great tune from a another eighties band that have stood the test of time .
+John Haley same here met my husband in October 1983, engaged in April 84 ,married June 85. Girl n boy n now got 2 granddaughters and 1 grandson. Oh the sweet memories, it makes my heart melt listening to all the classics! Luv Blackpool by the way come down a lot from Scotland!
Love it that you all have such nice memories of this song! It reminds me of childhood summers and life feeling so peaceful! A beautiful song that's for sure! ☺️
dude i've had this song in my head for YEARS.... like, ever since I was a child I've had this tune playing and I could never find it because it was only the turururu that got stuck in my head, so I couldn't search for lyrics... not to mention that I didn't understand English at the time... this year I heard it again at a town party and I WAS SO STOKED TO FIND IT, SO I ASKED EVERYONE I KNEW, AND NO ONE COULD HELP ME. AND NOW, SOME 5 MONTHS LATER, I STUMBLE UPON THIS BAND AND DOWNLOAD THEIR BEST OF, AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, THIS SONG IS THERE. I'M A REALLY HAPPY PERSON TODAY.
i know the feeling. i've searched for songs by typing "do's" and "da's" and even hummed into shazam to find songs, sometimes it just takes time and a bit of crazy passion to get to those old ones haha!
Ah! Ah! Ah! I did this exact same thing at work because i couldn't find it in any 80' compilations! I hid myself into the servers room and hummed it into shazam, no need to say it didn't find anything… I found it by typing "1980 electro pop" on UA-cam though, now i have this song stuck in my head for days… Makes me kind if depressed… I loved this song so much when i was 6, in 1981, now i'm 44 and it makes me sad...
Been there, I had a song from my childhood that I couldn´t find, I went to several record stores I sang the tururu tune to the clerks and nobody could help me, many years later I was in a cafeteria and suddenly it was my song playing on the speakers, now with an app of my smartphone I found the song and I was a very happy man. It was the song "I´m so excited" by the Pointer Sisters.
Brilliant and my intro to OMD. Bought a 10” single (Joan of Arc) in like 1981. Still mesmerizing to this day and like nothing else recorded by anyone ever.
Please please take me back. Life really was not so serious then. And this song reminds me of the beginning of the end of it all 😔😔 A little girl who wanted to be a pop star and dance till she couldnt breathe any more. And parents who were still alive. But in my heart that time in the 80s and this song will live in me for ever your claire always
Awwh. Me too. My Parents any young Sister were still here. I understand. But we can still remember our Wonderful Days with them.Music sure makes the Memories come back.
@BKM Publishing Hi there. Yeah so true if only only we could go back to them times. If you find a time machine let me know too. I will hop on with you and we can relive them Glorious Days!
I searched for this video for decades, even before YT. My grandmother and I used to watch it together on a black-and-white television on the island of Sardinia. Though I knew it was OMD, all I remembered was a car driving throughout the clip. I finally found it. My father is now old. My grandmother and all my immediate family is now gone. All I have is this song and the few others we used to share together. “My feelings still remain…” along with an eternal void. This song captures it well.
There is something beautifully nostalgic about this song and video. It always reminds me of being at my grandparents house when I was about 3/4 years old and they use to have a orchard that I use to play in. Happy, innocent days 😊.
I miss the 80s so bad. Life was simpler. Summer clear, blue skies lasted forever. Everyone knew each other. People were themselves. Interaction was natural. Free to wander without your movements tracked. Life before the internet and socials was truly amazing. This masterpiece takes me back to a time that puts a smile on my face but has long gone, which is bitter sweet.
In a nut shell. 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 All I need is Co-ordination I can't imagine My destination My intention Ask my opinion But no excuse My feelings still remain My feelings still remain.
How i long to return to the 70's amd 80's,no internet,mobile phones,just a pure and simple life shared with friends over a beer and a smoke and a bike ride on my Triumph.
Ironic really as without the Internet and UA-cam you wouldn't have been able to watch this and comment! That said, I'm glad I didn't have social media growing up and even though folk have a choice,, I leave it will alone!
I FEEL THE SAME FOR THIS SONG 🎵 ... MY ADOLESCENCE, THE FIRST LOVERS, I UNDERSTAND DEAR JOHN WELL .. HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED ... INCREDIBLE ... GREETINGS FROM ITALY ✋🇮🇹✋
This is one of the best songs of the 1980s that no one here in the states ever talks about. What a beautiful tune that captures what no one today could hope to capture. Again and again and forever, I'm proud to have lived through that fantastic decade. I really do long for it.
Melvin!!! I’ve got to agree with you fella. Probably the most exciting years in musical history. Never to be repeated and never to be equalled. Glad I experienced those wonderful years.
The new wave music itself exudes a feeling of longing but with a pop element that acts like an emotional ray of hope amid the melancholy undertones which resonates deeply with me.
51 years old, and I haven't heard this song in absolutely years. Goosebumps immediately reminiscing about that simple life back in the best decade for quality music...ever.🎵
At times that's all that's needed....a souvenir 💭 Just one, one only 🙏🏼, memory of a person, place, or thing then you move on 🌌 Pack it up 🧳and continue on your journey when people, places, or things aren't meant for you 🐝🦚🤍👒
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM sorry to hear that. I don’t know how you grew up but 80’s was a very refreshing era for a lot us. The 60’s and 70’s were the tumultuous ones and of course everything went south in 2019. I think is what most people come here, for comfort.
I'm 20 years old and I am from Russia For me and for all of us Souvenir is a masterpiece. When I first heard Souvenir I was shocked, I couldn't believe that it was possible to write such a beautiful, touching and magnificent song. Souvenir made a huge impact on me. After that I started listening to other songs of OMD and became a big fan of them, but Souvenir always has a special place in my heart
Music is the great uniter❤️Stay safe and hope this awful war is over soon🥲Too many precious lives taken too soon.I’m a mother and the thought of sending my only child to fight for politics turns my stomach over. You have good taste btw!
It is indeed possible, some of the most beautiful musical works have been Russian :) But yes, this is perfection, it's 40 years since I first fell in love with this and it's still beautiful.
i like this song and video to it, no girls in questionable clothing, no throwing money around, no curse words or f the world, just clean and smooth camera shots with an old school VW roadster. And to be honest this video deserves an award for the camera shots.
We were born in the same year! I was a teenager in the eighties and had the time of my life, the music was a huge part of my life...I loved all the New Romantic bands from the UK...I still listen to OMD and this track is a personal favourite...best wishes from Australia....
I have had a great and deep search but the music today is just not as good, sorry...most of the chart music is about sex, and not making love, but rutting like animals, and the good stuff is hidden away.
This was a haunting melody when I first heard it. Even more so 36 years later. Absolutely timeless tune from a better time and place. It brings a tear to my eye.
I'm Brazilian, I'm 20 years old and my parents passed away not even a week ago... We listened to a lot of 80s music, but this was definitely the one that most influenced our moments together. This song used to give a happy and fun feeling like a happy and united family... now it gives a feeling of emptiness, melancholy and sadness... I love music from the 80s and I'll keep listening to it forever, and when I have kids I'll do it they listen...
Just turned 52 year old. Why has this time gone so quickly. The sound of OMD just brings back memory of some of the happiest days of my life. Since my father and friends I lost along the way who I really miss.
Same here, I'll be 53 in August (2022) and it brings back memories of my days in Heolddu Comprehensive school, Bargoed, Wales. My dad was very much alive, he died in 1991. My grandmother was still alive. Funny how music takes you back, trouble is, those memories creep out of the corner of your eye and roll down your cheek, the loss of my youth, my young care free days. Good to look back on though.
It's odd being in your 50s and your beloved is in their 60s it's nice to be in a club of people with the same memories and tastes it helps doesn't it ?:hope everyone is doing well and getting through the rubbish ..it Will pass ..all the best
I took a trip to London the year this came out, I was all alone for days traveling, went into a record store and this was playing. I immediately asked what it was and bought it as a 12 inch 45. Ive never forgotten this moment. I went home to USA and this was never on the radio or charts. I couldn't understand why. The little song had such a profound effect on my feelings, but could never share that with anyone.
i didn't, so you're just another sad loser jealous of someone's success, cos your life counts for a big black zero, you think everyone else is the same.@@TheMOV13
Yeah! As a 9 year old in late 70’s hearing OMD, Adam and the Ants, Blondie, Gary Numan etc and then all the early 80’s music, blew my tiny mind…and I still love them all to this day! As a teen in 80’s, music, beer and girls were my life! All my friends were massive music fans (we all shared around C90 cassettes and made sure everyone knew about every band or gig)! We went to the pub VERY weekend and spent every penny we had on travelling to gigs or just talking music and drinking!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This song..... what a gift. Saw them play 4 or 5 years ago here in ATL, sounded fantastic. All the comments here got me thinking... how idyllic our lives were in the 80s.. dominant culture was not guns, self promotion, dissing and canceling each other; bragging how great we are or how tough; posing for selfies to desperately sell ourselves over the competing images on social this or that. People weren't afraid of emotion, maybe even tenderness and wonder, ...or of getting shot if at a club at night. I am thankful for so much of that introspective and joyfully exuberant, more curious and genuine time.
Dear sweet Lord in heaven,please grant me access to a time machine so I can go back and wrap myself up in these magical days forever.Thankyou and Amen!❤️🥰👍
Watched The Outlaws with Stephen Merchant on BBC and this played in ep. 4. Brings back so many good memories growing up. Thank God Absolute Radio 80's play so much of their music. Always a fan.
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands?
Can't argue with that comment! 😜Being British I'm proud of our music especially this fantastic band & also 80s music in general! I never tire of listening to OMD & this song is one of my favourites 😍
@Anthony Blue 26 August 2020, Palermo, Sicily, Italy. Anthony Blue, please let me go on on your behalf so that I can make the comment I left here in 2018 clearer.

This song, this band are the symbol of the 80s, creative, elegant and aesthetic... An ode to good taste and life... Blessed be the 80s, I was 20 years old and I was devouring life and living at 100 km hour... That was good!
This song is just a masterclass.,, Hearing this has transported me straight back to the 80's... 👌👌 What time to have grown up in your teens, I'm building a time machine, and I'm off back to the 80's, who's coming? 👍😎
This is the most amazing tune I grew up listening to and when I met my man he told me the exact same thing about this song and now he's passed away and I play it all of the time it's a song that makes me feel love and tears ❤😢
Epic... if you want to understand the 80's you have to hear this music. A very simple video that you can watch three decades later and still see the magic of an era in it.
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 All I need is Co-ordination I can't imagine My destination My intention Ask my opinion But no excuse My feelings still remain My feelings still remain
Absolutely amazing song. Loved it in the 80s, the song, the group and still do. Makes me so nostalgic and brings back so many incredible memories. Enjoyed it so much that decided to use it in the short. Love everything about OMD and this song. Thank you for great memories.
That's it!!! I've nearly finished building my time machine, I'm off back to the 80's!! Il get some cassettes to listen to on the way, il just grab my sun glasses, who's coming with me..? 👊😎👍
Listening to this stops me dead in my tracks and immediately catapults me back to my teenage youth of first loves, zero worries, even less responsibilities and a happier life. I can remember spending my first summer in the USA as a 18 year old Brit making love to the most gorgeous American girl to the entire OMD album. This song and anything else from their 1988 ‘best of omd’ album literally sends me into a temporary paralysis with happy nostalgic vibes. Thank god for music, talented artists and technology. Go forth and enjoy. Remembering CeAnn, Seattle, 1993. Best summer ever…
36 años desde su lanzamiento y sigue tan hermosa y perfecta como el primer día.Una canción que jamas se olvidara.Que bonito es vivir,ser feliz y poder escucharla.
37 años después Angel y siempre seguira en nuestro recuerdo Maniobras Orquestales en la Oscuridad...UN BUEN GRUPO...COMO NOS MOLO AQUELLA ÉPOCA...CANCIONES INOLVIDABLES...FUERON MIS FAVORITOS, APARTE DE OTROS GRUPOS...Q GUAPO ERA EL CANTANTE A MI ME OBSESIONABA 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
The transition from the second to the third pulsing note of the song does something to me every time I hear it. Makes me almost skip a breath, my heart sink and eyes well up at the same time.
Wish I could go back to the 80's carefree living great songs......no WiFi....no internet.... great days

Yup, me an all.

And cars were that , just that : Cars.
@@javiersubiran7137 To be honest I love my car. Its 24 years old
A hundred years from now the 80s will still stand out as the best decade for so much, especially the music. So glad to have been a part of it.
Completely agree
The creativity in that decade was absolutely off the scale. Never to be repeated.
Me too
Yep! We had it good!
One of the most beautiful songs of the 80s, hands down
dude i've had this song in my head for YEARS.... like, ever since I was a child I've had this tune playing and I could never find it because it was only the turururu that got stuck in my head, so I couldn't search for lyrics... not to mention that I didn't understand English at the time... this year I heard it again at a town party and I WAS SO STOKED TO FIND IT, SO I ASKED EVERYONE I KNEW, AND NO ONE COULD HELP ME.

The turururu song 😆
Download the app Shazam. Trust me, it's a lifesaver.
Been there, I had a song from my childhood that I couldn´t find, I went to several record stores I sang the tururu tune to the clerks and nobody could help me, many years later I was in a cafeteria and suddenly it was my song playing on the speakers, now with an app of my smartphone I found the song and I was a very happy man. It was the song "I´m so excited" by the Pointer Sisters.
Now ladies and gentlemen, this is what you call music. An absolutely stunning track that will stand the test of time. 🙏
I mean, it does still exist.
Shhh
I definitely agree 🇵🇭
And absolutely no sign of auto-tune.
I always preferred the OMD songs that featured Paul David Humphreys singing lead vocals. Great music indeed.
2024 - 65 years and still LOVE OMD - all of their songs...just stabs you in the heart with phenomental lyrics and sounds
Same here ❤
Me too!
1981 and the entire decade. The best ever. No stress. No social media. Just pure fun. I want to go back in the worst way. But know it’s impossible.
this tune still sounds hauntingly beautiful all these years later. A stunning piece of music.
This song is pretty much the definition of Euro snyth-pop back in the 80s.
Love the intro.
Loved it. 111 on the June box at the local sports centre after swimming with high school. 👍🏻
That it is.
1st bar I cried :(
The most beautiful thing about this song is reading everyone's life story and how much it means to them.
Amen to that.
OMG! The 80s just FELT so good! :) Let us never forgot how fortunate we are that this was our childhood!
Oh yes,
Brilliant and my intro to OMD. Bought a 10” single (Joan of Arc) in like 1981. Still mesmerizing to this day and like nothing else recorded by anyone ever.
Please please take me back. Life really was not so serious then. And this song reminds me of the beginning of the end of it all 😔😔 A little girl who wanted to be a pop star and dance till she couldnt breathe any more. And parents who were still alive. But in my heart that time in the 80s and this song will live in me for ever your claire always
Awwh. Me too. My Parents any young Sister were still here. I understand. But we can still remember our Wonderful Days with them.Music sure makes the Memories come back.
Parents Who Were Still Alive ❤️
@BKM Publishing
Hi there. Yeah so true if only only we could go back to them times. If you find a time machine let me know too. I will hop on with you and we can relive them Glorious Days!
@BKM Publishing
Hi I'm from U.K but living in the U.A.E
You ok claire .?
I searched for this video for decades, even before YT. My grandmother
and I used to watch it together on a black-and-white television on the island
of Sardinia. Though I knew it was OMD, all I remembered was a car driving
throughout the clip. I finally found it. My father is now old. My grandmother and all my immediate family
is now gone. All I have is this song and the few others we used to share
together. “My feelings still remain…” along with an eternal void. This song captures it well.
I'm with You, Ragazzi ;-) Seriously... many years of searching and waiting...
Ci sono musiche che rimangono in noi perché hanno fatto la nostra storia.... rimangono solo ricordi adesso... 80 voglia di ‘80 ancora 😢
There is something beautifully nostalgic about this song and video. It always reminds me of being at my grandparents house when I was about 3/4 years old and they use to have a orchard that I use to play in. Happy, innocent days 😊.
I send my love.x
Beautiful words.
I miss the 80s so bad. Life was simpler. Summer clear, blue skies lasted forever. Everyone knew each other. People were themselves. Interaction was natural. Free to wander without your movements tracked. Life before the internet and socials was truly amazing. This masterpiece takes me back to a time that puts a smile on my face but has long gone, which is bitter sweet.
This song is beautiful.
This is not a song - its a part of your soul ...take it or leave it ....
That,is oh so true
yes yesss
yes
It’s an awesome track
boehlahz I take it
In a nut shell.
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
All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain
My feelings still remain.
PAUL MCKENNA Thanks for posting these
Thanks
How long did that take you to 'compose?
R e s p e ct.
Are you the reason I keep falling asleep when I read this comment?...😴
Thank you.
How i long to return to the 70's amd 80's,no internet,mobile phones,just a pure and simple life shared with friends over a beer and a smoke and a bike ride on my Triumph.
Ironic really as without the Internet and UA-cam you wouldn't have been able to watch this and comment!
That said, I'm glad I didn't have social media growing up and even though folk have a choice,, I leave it will alone!
Beautiful. Just beautiful. Still the same 40 years later..
One of the greatest pieces of music i ever heard. Can't really call it a song, it's more than that. Brilliant British talent. 🇬🇧🏴
The definition of Synthpop
My man👊😎 Nail on the head there👍👍👍👍👍
Totally agree. Pity he's not driving a British sports car, but then it would have broken down all the time and made filming the vid a nightmare.
@John Smith Hey
I FEEL THE SAME FOR THIS SONG 🎵 ... MY ADOLESCENCE, THE FIRST LOVERS, I UNDERSTAND DEAR JOHN WELL .. HOW MUCH TIME HAS PASSED ... INCREDIBLE ... GREETINGS FROM ITALY ✋🇮🇹✋
This is one of the best songs of the 1980s that no one here in the states ever talks about. What a beautiful tune that captures what no one today could hope to capture. Again and again and forever, I'm proud to have lived through that fantastic decade. I really do long for it.
You and me both 🎶🎶❤️❤️
Melvin!!! I’ve got to agree with you fella. Probably the most exciting years in musical history. Never to be repeated and never to be equalled.
Glad I experienced those wonderful years.
You should really listen to beach house.
Unfortunately, it didn't chart at all in the U.S.
The new wave music itself exudes a feeling of longing but with a pop element that acts like an emotional ray of hope amid the melancholy undertones which resonates deeply with me.
51 years old, and I haven't heard this song in absolutely years. Goosebumps immediately reminiscing about that simple life back in the best decade for quality music...ever.🎵
Indeed ..the same ...diamonds amongst today's shit
I AGREE, LOVE THE 80' MUSIC. I AM FROM SPAIN. GREETINGS!
Same here...
Those 80's synths are timeless
👍🏼
It was music / not the shit it is now
COM TODA CERTEZA
At times that's all that's needed....a souvenir 💭 Just one, one only 🙏🏼, memory of a person, place, or thing then you move on 🌌 Pack it up 🧳and continue on your journey when people, places, or things aren't meant for you 🐝🦚🤍👒
The melody of this song entries in your body without permission, then finds a site in your soul. And when you hear it your soul brights
I feel crying when I listen to this song. It reminds me of those glory days in the 80's , I was so happy then! Now everything is dreary and gray!
That's because unlike time that's continually moving forward, humans are moving backwards 😒
I remember the 80s and I have no idea what you're talking about. Everything bad we have now came from the 80s.
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM like what
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM sorry to hear that. I don’t know how you grew up but 80’s was a very refreshing era for a lot us. The 60’s and 70’s were the tumultuous ones and of course everything went south in 2019. I think is what most people come here, for comfort.
I'm 20 years old and I am from Russia
For me and for all of us Souvenir is a masterpiece. When I first heard Souvenir I was shocked, I couldn't believe that it was possible to write such a beautiful, touching and magnificent song. Souvenir made a huge impact on me. After that I started listening to other songs of OMD and became a big fan of them, but Souvenir always has a special place in my heart
Do you have anything from 80's besides communism? And now you have something besides murdering innocent people? What have you given to the world?
Music is the great uniter❤️Stay safe and hope this awful war is over soon🥲Too many precious lives taken too soon.I’m a mother and the thought of sending my only child to fight for politics turns my stomach over. You have good taste btw!
I am 20 years old as well. I feel the same way about their song 'secret'
It is indeed possible, some of the most beautiful musical works have been Russian :) But yes, this is perfection, it's 40 years since I first fell in love with this and it's still beautiful.
and don't you like the song secret???
those songs have many 'innocence''
i like this song and video to it, no girls in questionable clothing, no throwing money around, no curse words or f the world, just clean and smooth camera shots with an old school VW roadster. And to be honest this video deserves an award for the camera shots.
I'm 50 and had the pleasure in living through the eighties when great music like this was around
We were born in the same year! I was a teenager in the eighties and had the time of my life, the music was a huge part of my life...I loved all the New Romantic bands from the UK...I still listen to OMD and this track is a personal favourite...best wishes from Australia....
feel sorry for the young people now , what do they have to listen to..... just about nothing ........ we had so many great bands in 1980s
A lifetime ago, but music was music not like the rubbish now . Wish those days were back again.
But we still have this great music around nowadays.. And other great music too, you just need to look for it.
I have had a great and deep search but the music today is just not as good, sorry...most of the chart music is about sex, and not making love, but rutting like animals, and the good stuff is hidden away.
This was a haunting melody when I first heard it. Even more so 36 years later.
Absolutely timeless tune from a better time and place. It brings a tear to my eye.
Ania Dąbrowska and Crash City Saints brought me here to original - listen their covers, very well made in these days. Greetings. The 90's kid ;-).
B Sad Me, too; Like the walrus, I'm crying.
Yes, a far better time ... where has my life gone 😔
I saw them live last year was still amazing
Blazing Saddle not wrong 👍
I'm Brazilian, I'm 20 years old and my parents passed away not even a week ago... We listened to a lot of 80s music, but this was definitely the one that most influenced our moments together. This song used to give a happy and fun feeling like a happy and united family... now it gives a feeling of emptiness, melancholy and sadness... I love music from the 80s and I'll keep listening to it forever, and when I have kids I'll do it they listen...
Bless you that’s an unbearable loss, hopefully this beautiful song will always trigger the memories of happier times. Warm wishes from the UK
Força meu irmão, que Deus esteja com você 🙏🏻
What a car, a road, an attitude, we miss 80's.
Just turned 52 year old. Why has this time gone so quickly. The sound of OMD just brings back memory of some of the happiest days of my life. Since my father and friends I lost along the way who I really miss.
I'm 53 so yes I get this👌👍😌😌😌😌😌😌😌
Same here, I'll be 53 in August (2022) and it brings back memories of my days in Heolddu Comprehensive school, Bargoed, Wales. My dad was very much alive, he died in 1991. My grandmother was still alive. Funny how music takes you back, trouble is, those memories creep out of the corner of your eye and roll down your cheek, the loss of my youth, my young care free days. Good to look back on though.
I'm 50 but I still like I'm 17
It's odd being in your 50s and your beloved is in their 60s it's nice to be in a club of people with the same memories and tastes it helps doesn't it ?:hope everyone is doing well and getting through the rubbish ..it Will pass ..all the best
I'm 76 and I can assure you , the older you get the faster time goes.
I took a trip to London the year this came out, I was all alone for days traveling, went into a record store and this was playing. I immediately asked what it was and bought it as a 12 inch 45. Ive never forgotten this moment. I went home to USA and this was never on the radio or charts. I couldn't understand why. The little song had such a profound effect on my feelings, but could never share that with anyone.
Back then, it was only played on college radio stations. It would be over 20 years until I saw the video.
Great memory from the 80’s 👏👏
I never heard it until 2020. I'm 42 now. Helped me a lot last year. That was a tough one... One of my favorites now
You literally took a souvenir back with you haha
You have now Phil and it had the same feeling for me back in England.
The 80s were the absolute best decade for music, no argument, and this lush tune is a perfect example ❤️❤️
@telboy1966manu.
In your opinion.
It's true, I agree...but back then many of us thought it was rubbishy plastic synth music....
i didn't, so you're just another sad loser jealous of someone's success, cos your life counts for a big black zero, you think everyone else is the same.@@TheMOV13
So true I was listening to pink Floyd and genesis at the time, but listening to this now, it’s a treasure trove
Yeah! As a 9 year old in late 70’s hearing OMD, Adam and the Ants, Blondie, Gary Numan etc and then all the early 80’s music, blew my tiny mind…and I still love them all to this day! As a teen in 80’s, music, beer and girls were my life! All my friends were massive music fans (we all shared around C90 cassettes and made sure everyone knew about every band or gig)! We went to the pub VERY weekend and spent every penny we had on travelling to gigs or just talking music and drinking!!! 🥰🥰🥰
The 80's were legendary, i would never have wanted to be in my mid teens at any other time, i am 56 now and the memories are so good...
The 80s was for those who missed the 60s
Me too. Im 55 now and i love OMD 👍👍👍🇵🇭
AGREED XXXX
Lynn we all wish we could live them times again sweetheart!!!! Best times ever!!¡
😉👍
These guys will go down in history as one of the most talented bands ever absolutely class
This is one of the prettiest and relaxing songs ever made. OMD was something very special.
This song..... what a gift. Saw them play 4 or 5 years ago here in ATL, sounded fantastic. All the comments here got me thinking... how idyllic our lives were in the 80s.. dominant culture was not guns, self promotion, dissing and canceling each other; bragging how great we are or how tough; posing for selfies to desperately sell ourselves over the competing images on social this or that. People weren't afraid of emotion, maybe even tenderness and wonder, ...or of getting shot if at a club at night. I am thankful for so much of that introspective and joyfully exuberant, more curious and genuine time.
*canceLLing 😊
Oh how I miss the 80"s. Some great music.
Not just some... but a tide of great, innovative, catchy, inspiring, ear-catching music from bands, duos, trios......
Dear sweet Lord in heaven,please grant me access to a time machine so I can go back and wrap myself up in these magical days forever.Thankyou and Amen!❤️🥰👍
Can anyone go with you? If so,count me in!
Me too
UA-cam is the nearest equivalent of one though!
Take me with you please🙏🏽😉
Can I be a stowaway
I cannot convey in words just how special this song is to me ❤
80s music and decade to me are unbeatable the world was such a better happier place .....time machine needed ❤
This is a brilliant song. I was born in 2006 and I'm so glad my parents got me into this music ❤
That's because you were young. I'm 56 years old. It's the same now.
Yes indeed!

Classic song from a very underrated group. I love the 80s
Never ever heard anyone called them underated before.
Never heard anything but good about them.

@@sonofanarchy6628 yes.
One of the best musics from the decade of the 80s.
Das waren schöne Zeiten unbezahlbar die Musik omd forever
Watched The Outlaws with Stephen Merchant on BBC and this played in ep. 4. Brings back so many good memories growing up. Thank God Absolute Radio 80's play so much of their music. Always a fan.
Me too had go get it on YT straight away. Beautiful song from 80s
It took me far too long to remember it was OMD. Was kicking around in my head for days. Definite ear worm.
Look at the car it fits with time 80 tune 70 car elecro pop at its best
Me too. Then Jeremy vine played it so I then knew what it was 👍🏻
Snap
Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere.
What would our lives have been without British bands?
Can't argue with that comment! 😜Being British I'm proud of our music especially this fantastic band & also 80s music in general! I never tire of listening to OMD & this song is one of my favourites 😍
More great bands have come out of the Liverpool area alone than the rest of the world!

Nicely put. We haven’t done bad for a little island.
This song, this band are the symbol of the 80s, creative, elegant and aesthetic... An ode to good taste and life... Blessed be the 80s, I was 20 years old and I was devouring life and living at 100 km hour... That was good!
Une jolie soirée avec une belle balade et de la superbe musique mon cœur ❤
They must had a Divine inspiration when they composed this song, it is one of the most beautiful songs of all time. I LOVE IT
Já os vi em concerto ao vivo!!! são espectaculares...
césar Ribeiro no brasileñas here this is class Brit synthetic music! I'd give you a 5er for that car.
Wunderbar. Erinnere mich gerne an meine Kindheit zurück, mit dieser schönen Musik.😙😚
This son makes me fly
Front man and lead singer of OMD Andy Mc Cluskey didn't rate
this track thought it was "soppy" hence it was sung by Paul Humphreys!
You will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory Hold the ones you love and forgive them always
This song lifted me up so many times. I'm 55 next week and still adore this track. Thanks for post. Xxx
OMG!!! - OMD !!! - What a beautiful, atmospheric song !!! - Well done Lads!!! ❤❤❤ Nigel Wellski.
Most beautifully melancholic song of the 80s. I'm so jealous of the songwriting and orchestration.
I totally agree
Played this at my friend's funeral last week as we walked into the chapel, heartbreaking. I'll always associate it with Andy now, RIP my friend.
🙏⚘
Not just a seminal track but a true masterpiece, due to the fact it harmoniously marries melody, lyricism and evocative expression 💯
ha ha ha
That's polygamy.
This song is a total classic. Sounds so good now as it did in the 80s.
Paul Humphreys sings this song brilliantly. The video is superb.
Best voice in the band
Very nostalgic video... Love it
Is it really paul singing? He looks different in the car and on the bridge.
Such a beautiful song. Love the 80s. Blessed to have grown up in that era. Best music age ever. Truly.
It truly was a wondrous decade.
This song is just a masterclass.,,
Hearing this has transported me straight back to the 80's... 👌👌
What time to have grown up in your teens, I'm building a time machine, and I'm off back to the 80's, who's coming?
👍😎
This is the most amazing tune I grew up listening to and when I met my man he told me the exact same thing about this song and now he's passed away and I play it all of the time it's a song that makes me feel love and tears ❤😢
Epic... if you want to understand the 80's you have to hear this music.
A very simple video that you can watch three decades later and still see the magic of an era in it.
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
All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain
My feelings still remain
Thank you 🥰
Thank you from Poland.

They dont make music like this anymore this was on a completely different level epic 🇬🇧
🎶 my feelings still remain 🎶
One of the best songs of the 80s. Beautiful.
i couldn't agree more.
The best times
Absolutely amazing song. Loved it in the 80s, the song, the group and still do. Makes me so nostalgic and brings back so many incredible memories. Enjoyed it so much that decided to use it in the short. Love everything about OMD and this song. Thank you for great memories.
That's it!!!
I've nearly finished building my time machine, I'm off back to the 80's!!
Il get some cassettes to listen to on the way, il just grab my sun glasses, who's coming with me..? 👊😎👍
I'm coming with you ❤
Смотря и слушая это божествено-далекое, только и остается мысленно возвращаться к своей молодости, счастью, беззаботности!

Ça c'est vrai j'adore.😊
It's depressing to think these years and these great tunes are 30 years behind us :(
Thank god for You Tube.
Now its 40 years behind ... and more beautiful than ever
Another brilliant and original eighties band. One of many.
This makes me feel nostalgic about a time I've never been living in
Same here...😥
I can't Imagine my destination...
Nostalgia for a future date
This almost teared me up when I heard this
This makes me nostalgic for a time I did live in and it was amazing, you cannot imagine how amazing it was 😢I miss those days
Definitely my favourite OMD song. The synth is unbelievably good.
I’m there on Sunday gonna stand exactly where Paul was and remember my late wife ❤️
I absolutely adored being an 80s teenager. The fashion, the music. What a wonderful decade. This was my favourite OMD track ever.
Mine too. Instantly takes me back.
A timeless classic and my all time favourite OMD song too
Cette chanson me fait rappeler beaucoup de SOUVENIRS des années 80, ces années qui sont, sans aucun doutes, les meilleures années de ma vie .....
Jean Paul c'était la musique de pub pour qu'elle banque ? La BNP ?
Listening to this stops me dead in my tracks and immediately catapults me back to my teenage youth of first loves, zero worries, even less responsibilities and a happier life. I can remember spending my first summer in the USA as a 18 year old Brit making love to the most gorgeous American girl to the entire OMD album. This song and anything else from their 1988 ‘best of omd’ album literally sends me into a temporary paralysis with happy nostalgic vibes. Thank god for music, talented artists and technology. Go forth and enjoy. Remembering CeAnn, Seattle, 1993. Best summer ever…
CeAnn is that American girl?
A hauntingly beautiful piece of pop history.
Perfection. The Outlaws (TV comedy) did a great job of putting this tune of bliss back in our consciousness ❤
36 años desde su lanzamiento y sigue tan hermosa y perfecta como el primer día.Una canción que jamas se olvidara.Que bonito es vivir,ser feliz y poder escucharla.
Perfeita música inesquecível...
37 años después Angel y siempre seguira en nuestro recuerdo Maniobras Orquestales en la Oscuridad...UN BUEN GRUPO...COMO NOS MOLO AQUELLA ÉPOCA...CANCIONES INOLVIDABLES...FUERON MIS FAVORITOS, APARTE DE OTROS GRUPOS...Q GUAPO ERA EL CANTANTE A MI ME OBSESIONABA 😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Even though I'm italian and I'm only 16 years old, I really love listening to OMD's music. I especially like this song, I find it very beautiful.
Celestial JusTChuck my dads in omd
That's great! Is your father Neil Weir?
Celestial JusTChuck yes
And you are very right! 😎
Well done. You want a blue Peter badge?
Oh man, as soon as that wonderful synthesizer kicks in I started to smile- gorgeous! What memories
The transition from the second to the third pulsing note of the song does something to me every time I hear it. Makes me almost skip a breath, my heart sink and eyes well up at the same time.
Who's listening to this classic in 2019?
