OH MY GOD!!!!!! O.M.D. ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK CON "ENOLA GAY"..... UN PEZZO ANNI 80 CHE ANCORA SI ASCOLTA IN RADIO..... E CHE SPACCA DI BRUTTO!!!!!!!!!!!
It`s a jewels OMD - Heroes of my youth time in Germany-Bavaria. Was war das nur für ein wunderbares, unbeschwertes, freies Leben ohne Smartphone-Gedudel und ständiger Erreichbarkeit. I miss this time more than ever. Greetings to all the people in the world.
Eulnglidis curbani pois essa música Eu ofereço o grupo BTS essa seria o início da carreira de vocês a volta faça o livro eu conto do livro qual o primeiro nome de todos vocês a data de nascimento o dia e o ano começa incorreto para terminar em reconhecidos como a obra o qual teve um começo mas terá um legado perfeito
I turned 17 in 1980 - I feel as if I won the lottery in terms of the music served up for my time on the British pub/club scene! Incredible songs such as this one make my youth UNFORGETTABLE!!
Hey mate, I'm a 63 model. We really did grow up in fantastic times regarding music. My first concert was seeing the Buzzcocks.....supported by Joy Division at the Manchester Apollo. That was pretty cool. The Clash, PIL, Stiff Little Fingers and more I saw there. I saw James back in the day too, oh and Stone Roses eventually. Yes we had some great times, when we were young, we grew up listening to The Beatles, T Rex and David Bowie.......it doesn't get much better.
my dad is a massive history nerd who grew up with 70’s/80’s electronic music. it makes so much sense that this is his all time favorite song. so proud to have a dad with a music taste that goated
Your dad's taste = goated af, these guys came from absolutely nowhere and learned how to do this without any help and created some incredible stuff. OMD are an absolute treasure.
What a crazy mix of emotions listening to this. I’ve just been to an OMD concert here in Dublin. This song of course got the crowd bopping big time but the horrendous evil act of dropping bombs 2 consecutive days on innocent civilians mixed with an upbeat music genre is hard to swallow.
@@emeroregan5298 All war is horrendous. Everyone’s death diminishes me, for I am a part of mankind. Is it the #’s? The number of deaths at once? Or is it the fact that war is now home and can wipe out all? Some argue that WW3 has not occurred yet because we realize it will be the last. Remember, the US estimated that 10 million Japanese would die in a conventional invasion. The Japanese government expected 1/3 to 1/2 of its population would die.

I never realised what this song was about until much later in life... I was about 13 and now I'm 53.... atomic bomb on Hiroshima.. we were never even taught this at school. Just remember loving the tune as a teenager. Anyway on a musical note, those drums and symbols are spot on... I love OMD.
@@garybradley1 It's what Enola Gay's pilot said to his boss over radio just before launching Little Boy over Hiroshima. They only would be throwing the bomb if there were a set of pre-established conditions of wind, light... to maximum effect. The "Is mother proud of Little Boy? it's so good. Enolay Gay is the name of the bomber but it's too the name of the pilot's mother. The lyrics are well estudied to be simple and harming at the same time.
@vanesag.9863 I am fully conversant with the details of the dropping of the bomb and the lyrics, for example 8.15 was the time, Hiroshima time, when the bomb detonated. I was being sarcastic, they've just killed thousands of people, yet "conditions normal". I don't think they were normal if you were on the ground.
@@garybradley1 😅 Oooops, I didn't catch your sarcasm. Sorry. That "conditions normal" was dettached from reality but I think it's a mindset all militars have to try to survive psychologically a war.
Why? Why were they such great bands? Because they always had stories in the song. Not just today's repeated babble about nonsense. For instance... Poker face. Singing of nonsense.
@nicovdwesthuizen844 The big problèm today it s internet. The producers has a problem to.make money with tourney! Impossible to Produce with today s extra cost
April 1991, a small town in eastern Poland. My parents' wedding party, people craving Western music after 40 years of communism, and a band that doesn't know a bit of English. The boys played the Enola Gay melody on a loop for 20 minutes, everyone, whether teenagers or 80-year-old grandmothers, had a great time. To this day, this melody evokes my parents' emotions. Of course, they still don't speak English, and I will never translate the lyrics of this song for them
Can't believe. We had western music throughout the 80s and most of the 70s in the GDR. There was even a percentage of that music allowed in official events. Given that Poland was far more open and people could travel to the west (we couldn't).
@@tinowildenhain2324 Well... I didn't live in those days. But I'm interested in history, I like listening to my parents' and older people's stories. As far as I know, for Poles, East Germany was almost like the West. Everyone dreamed of a Simson or MZ motorcycle. For many, a plastic bag bought in the GDR was a cause for show. I don't know about the openness towards the west in DDR, but I do know that even if something was available in Poland in the 80s, people simply couldn't afford it.
Enola Gay is one of those strange concoctions of the 80s, where the tone of the song is so danceable and shiny you fail to notice the sad and serious lyrics hidden inside ..
What! Enola Gaye was the bomber that dropped the ATOM bomb on Nagasaki and Hiroshima killing millions of people at the end of the war. Also, The word Gay has become quite literally the Plutomia as the sting in the tail called aides.
@@kamikazestryker I could add it's like homosexuality (what is AIDS) in 'modern times' it's the sting in the tail! but getting back it's a dam good song to listen to.

@@humanchannel7825 and this kiss you give...is never ever gonna fade away. I actually went to Hiroshima went I visited Japan, and saw that clock tower where the time is frozen at 8:15. I hope no place in the World has to go through that again
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? Thank you from Sicily.
Thank you mate, that made me very proud. There's a beer waiting for you if you come to London! Although Italy gave the world some pretty hot music too with Opera.

An absolute masterpiece.They'll be playing this on UA-cam and radio stations around the world for the next 100 years and beyond.Mark my words : ) November 23rd 2023.
its about the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima during world war 2, welcome to history. Seen Jaws? the boat went down most eaten by sharks uss Indianapolis , some history sucks make a better one
When this was aired back in the days, it was like a punch to the stomach to me: WHAT a sound, WHAT originality, this was impossible to forget! Impossible to imagine this level of creativity today…
What a song,so glad I grew up in the 80s to experience these songs,fashion,tv,togerthness within communities, couldn't beat the synth and new wave ,always look back an play these kind of songs of this era,
It's kind of insistent, over and over again in the background, that little motif, it hectors and niggles. Yet it's hauntingly beautiful. And then you hear the lyrics......oh, Lord.
Emp iio I think you are one of these sort of people that are brain disabled as the result of the massive radiation waste that are created by your own Nuclear tests in your country O poor boy.
Born in 66 and saw OMD as a 14 year old in 1980 in Vredenburg Utrecht. It was my first popconcert and it was awesome. I feel blessed I could grow up with the beautiful music of the eighties.
I listened to this when i walked to school everyday , 34 years I still absolutely love it, nobody cant beat the good times from the 80s, im so glad i grew up on these awesome tunes!!! ♥
Born in 1969, i was around ten years old when i heard this incredible song for the first time at the radio and i will never forget the earthquake it has been in my head. We all entered the eighties by Enola Gay...
We were the generation who were perched on the edge of nuclear annihiliation. Someone pressed the wrong switch, The Russians got too angry with the Yanks, or vice versa, and ker-boom, we'd have all been mincemeat.
@@CathyKitson My dad was born in 68, and he frequently tells me about those days. I think it may have been mass hysteria though. While it's true that nuclear annihilation was a threat back then, it is just as serious now, if not even more prevalent with the dictator of russia threatening to use nukes over the course of the war in ukraine MULTIPLE times. The difference between now, and then, is that now people don't even want to live. Your generation had some semblance hope for a brighter future, and economy. We are all depressed and a lot of us work to survive.
I was a child back then, one of my oldest brothers bought this record, and all the kids in the house danced this glorious song like crazy nearly everyday that year, was absolute happiness 🤗🤗🤗🤗
omd, another legendary British band. Even though I belong to another generation, I am forced to go back decades in the past due to the quality of the songs, which are in fact true masterpieces!
I wouldn't exactly call them legendary; not in the same class as Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order etc. But this song, Locomotion and If You Leave were their trademark hits...still great today.
@@KydenBufect Piffle. OMD were one of Depeche's key early inspirations, and stand right alongside NO in terms of influence. Absolutely a legendary electronic outfit.
Enolegay, sortie en 1981. Tous les samedis en discothèque on dansait sur cette chanson. Aujourd'hui je l'écoute, et je l'écoute encore. Rappel de Jeunesse.,.... Super chanson, indémodable. 💃💃💃♥️
Yes, but that was true of so many songs of the 80s - I really didn't know how darned lucky I was to live through that decade at the right time in my life
YES YES I’ve been looking for this song’s name for over a decade. Hearing it years after years every February without knowing where it was from. I found peace.
This song is perfect for this moment in history: no more nuclear bombs! No more war! No more world wars! Please like if you agree and if you want nuclear bombs away from this world!
I don't want nuclear bombs used again. Sadly they exist now, and you can't really get rid of them. The knowledge exists, if somehow you managed to destroy all of them, someone would still make them again to gain power over others. So I can't advocate no more nuclear bombs, just I hope they're never used again.
And how many likes are needed to accomplish anything toward that goal? Everyone knows that only "thoughts and prayers" can actually accomplish real progress.
It saved countless lives. Agreed it is awful but they asked for it. The flattening of Tokyo and other cities with carpet bombing was arguably more destructive but if we had done a land incursion many more would have died on both sides. Naive hippy dippy Lily Allen-level "politics" just make you sound foolish and ill-informed Also, asking people to like on such a subject is a pretty shallow thing to do

@@giovannibeverini5540 good choice in music. Pink Floyd are great Dark Side Of The Moon is a great album. So is the wall. And I also love Queen. Freddie was such a great man and I have a few Queen albums on cd and vinyl. I also recently found their debut album in my attic on cassette
Bravo, timeless OMD! A 50 something y.o. from Spain who appreciates the difference and understands that the best pop music in the 80s (by far) came from England.
Yeah, absolutely. Let me get this straight: So we have OMD, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Ultravox, Queen, Slade, The Police. Not enough? Okay. Yazoo, Erasure, Eurythmics or Frankie goes to Hollywood. Tears for Fears, Wham and Def Leppard. And that's just a few bands. No solo artists as Nik Kershaw, Billy Idol or Chris de Burgh and so on...
+Mark Zane mee, Eurythimics, The Flirts, Vanessa, Kim Wilde, Joy Divison , The Fools, Yazoo, The Communards, New Order, Robert Palmer, David Bowie etc etc etc ... =D
My mother was born in the 60s, she literally had no idea what this song was about until I told her 2 weeks ago and has since listened to this song as if it was the first time. She really had no idea and gave her a shiver.

Kids today we about WW2, the most destructive war in history. 75 million dead, millions more left maimed, genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation.....Heres a 80s new wave synthpop to explain it" :-))))
I’d lay a bet, that if my 70’s history teacher was still around, he’d be debating with your history teacher. WW2 history has been flipped on its head to suit an agenda. If my history teacher was still around, he’d be known today as a revisionist.
@@krazytroutcatcher The same thing is happening / has happened, to the American Civil War, the cause and reason for it have been "modified" to suit and push an agenda.
@@uhtred7860 Just like covid was invented to support an agenda. Wars are a money making racket for the rich, covid is making millions for big pharma. Small business are dying on a grand scale, while big business such as amazon and even Mac Donald's are seeing profits skyrocket. The rich get more obscenely rich and the poor become poorer and become more dependent on governments. Which ofcause is the plan. And, dont get me started on the brain washing corrupt main stream media. Town criers from the medieval era had more truthful and more accurate news.
@@michelle88960 Do you know the history, obviously not!!! The plane was named after the pilot's mother.........his mother wasn't named after the plane.
Je laisse juste ce commentaire ici. Pour que dans un mois, un an ou une décennie plus tard, si quelqu'un aime ou commente ce fil, je puisse revivre cette chanson. Intemporel.
David Mills I used to think that, but I changed my circumstances (got rid of negative GFs and bad friends) and am now having as much fun now as I did in 1985. You can too!
Yaass .........then I remember they kept saying USA or USSR was going to nuke us then they said AIDS would kill us all and they began banging on about the ozone layer but still happier times we all had our freedoms if you told me what we have let happen to our liberties and those of our children back then I would have said you were on drugs and had read too much 1984
Hmm I used to think that as well then I became a dad and even though we're so far down the socio economic ladder iam the happiest I've ever been. I didn't know what happiness was until I became a parent.
This was the number one song of the year 1986 in El Salvador, and the best song of the decade! Certified by the best pop and rock radio station in El Salvador!

OMD and Ultravox were my two favourite bands from the 80's. This sounds as good now as it did back in the day.
And just as relevant.
Same here
discover Depeche Mode dude!
Ahhh Ultravox “Vienna” one of my favorite songs!
@@chezchezchezchez No Depeche without OMD tho.
How is it that this song was released 42 years ago yet it sounds like something that could be but a few years old? 80s truly were an awesome decade ❤️
Like Chaka Khan's "I feel for you"
its about the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima during world war 2, welcome to history. Seen Jaws? the boat went down most eaten by sharks uss Indianapolis , some history sucks make a better one
@@scottnever8732 nobody gives a flying f--k on that boy
Top one in that category is Immigrant Song (Led Zeppelin), from 1970 but sounds awesome and current.
IMAGES OF HEAVEN by Peter Godwin.
This song is one iconic!
That kiss you gave is never ever gonna fade away.....
This phrase always gives me chills.. so true.

First single i ever bought. Spent all my pocket money and couldn't afford the bus back home. Worth it.

When this was aired back in the days, it was like a punch to the stomach to me: WHAT a sound, WHAT originality, this was impossible to forget!
Impossible to imagine this level of creativity today…
the song they were about had a much bigger punch
Nonsense I can imagine this level of creativity today. I'm doing it now. *Imagines*
Easy.
What a song,so glad I grew up in the 80s to experience these songs,fashion,tv,togerthness within communities, couldn't beat the synth and new wave ,always look back an play these kind of songs of this era,
What a cute little keyboard riff - one of the best 80's melodies. I-vi-IV-V never fails.
It's kind of insistent, over and over again in the background, that little motif, it hectors and niggles. Yet it's hauntingly beautiful. And then you hear the lyrics......oh, Lord.
Eh?
One of the best pop songs ever and a reminder of just how good 80s music could be.
one of the best pop song with visage "fade to grey" : the best of the new wave
This is a great example of "prog-pop" Rush like this song to, get my drift? ... y,know...Vienna man.
It is about to turn 8.15am in Hiroshima on 6 August 73 years after the event. May it never be repeated, great song and tribute
More should have been dropped including in Germany
one should be dropped on NYC
No. Only the culprits
Emp iio I think you are one of these sort of people that are brain disabled as the result of the massive radiation waste that are created by your own Nuclear tests in your country
O poor boy.
I think some humour is called for....
Still sounds great all these years later.
Born in 66 and saw OMD as a 14 year old in 1980 in Vredenburg Utrecht. It was my first popconcert and it was awesome. I feel blessed I could grow up with the beautiful music of the eighties.
Also born in 66 and going to see them next week. Love their music
Born in '67 and I feel young myself seeing you elderly people here 🤗😂
Fun fact: everyone born after the '80s is able to grow up with the music of the '80s.
I listened to this when i walked to school everyday , 34 years I still absolutely love it, nobody cant beat the good times from the 80s, im so glad i grew up on these awesome tunes!!! ♥

You went to school for 34 years?
Slow reader?
Or just an insanely long walk to school?
34 years agooo lmao@@chrish1489
They were the best of times to grow up in. so grateful to be a teenager back then.
but did you realise what it was about?
Playing bass and singing at the same time is a sign of great musicality
His hand movements do not match the bass line you hear.
@@Ricardo-cl3vs You're right. But in fact he does, like here: ua-cam.com/video/8PTm7FSDMU4/v-deo.html
This song carry emotions, memories, and a lot more!
It’s a little bit haunting to consider that this song is now farther away in time (41 years) than its subject matter was then (35 years).
Oh wow
O.o
It's strange how time seems to accelerate the older we all become. When we were children the time positively dragged!
wow you're so right
WWII wasnt 35 years ago
I'm 19 and my dad raised me with OMD which made me a really big 80s music fan. I'm so thankful to know this amazing band :>

Born in 1969, i was around ten years old when i heard this incredible song for the first time at the radio and i will never forget the earthquake it has been in my head. We all entered the eighties by Enola Gay...
We were the generation who were perched on the edge of nuclear annihiliation. Someone pressed the wrong switch, The Russians got too angry with the Yanks, or vice versa, and ker-boom, we'd have all been mincemeat.
@@CathyKitson My dad was born in 68, and he frequently tells me about those days. I think it may have been mass hysteria though. While it's true that nuclear annihilation was a threat back then, it is just as serious now, if not even more prevalent with the dictator of russia threatening to use nukes over the course of the war in ukraine MULTIPLE times. The difference between now, and then, is that now people don't even want to live. Your generation had some semblance hope for a brighter future, and economy. We are all depressed and a lot of us work to survive.
We should ask ourselves why there was so much good music at that time?
Difficult answer, but I agree
I was a child back then, one of my oldest brothers bought this record, and all the kids in the house danced this glorious song like crazy nearly everyday that year, was absolute happiness 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Yeah bet you didn’t think how many thousands of people in Hiroshima were killed by atomic bomb carried by the airplane called “Enola Gay”
@@Ceebz39 6 years old Kids hardly have any idea of the Hiroshima / Nagasaki events, and that's just perfect ;)
@@Ceebz39 Yeah bet you didn't think that without it we wouldn't have had a great song to dance to. ;-) miserabilist.
The best electropop song ever by far.

A different era a different outlook, the best musical decade and you could afford to buy fuel.
This is a song that you can call an ANTHEM. CLASS
The synth and high hat is the perfect combo in this song. Love it so much!
Love this song!! Nothing beats the 80's with their music! Synthesisers rock! Brings back memories from School!
78 years ago today Enola gave that kiss.

omd, another legendary British band. Even though I belong to another generation, I am forced to go back decades in the past due to the quality of the songs, which are in fact true masterpieces!
Today's so called music is S--T
I wouldn't exactly call them legendary; not in the same class as Depeche Mode, The Cure, New Order etc. But this song, Locomotion and If You Leave were their trademark hits...still great today.
@@KydenBufect Piffle. OMD were one of Depeche's key early inspirations, and stand right alongside NO in terms of influence. Absolutely a legendary electronic outfit.
For such a small island we have give the world so much good music! Makes me proud 🇬🇧
Totally agree. I like some of today's music but you can't beat the 80s!
Very true..
And that's why we're called Great Britain! 🙂
No
as a historian and fan of the 80s..I agree sir...
Enolegay, sortie en 1981.
Tous les samedis en discothèque on dansait sur cette chanson. Aujourd'hui je l'écoute, et je l'écoute encore. Rappel de Jeunesse.,....
Super chanson, indémodable.

Que de bons souvenirs 👍
Talk about an underrated band, fantastic songs, the synth sound they had was glorious
Fantastic music from the 1980s
THIS SONG HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SYNTH IVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE !!!
Got to be one of the best songs ever written, melody, lyrics, meaningful and you can dance to it
Yes, but that was true of so many songs of the 80s - I really didn't know how darned lucky I was to live through that decade at the right time in my life
YES
YES
I’ve been looking for this song’s name for over a decade. Hearing it years after years every February without knowing where it was from.
I found peace.
This song is perfect for this moment in history: no more nuclear bombs! No more war! No more world wars! Please like if you agree and if you want nuclear bombs away from this world!
I don't want nuclear bombs used again. Sadly they exist now, and you can't really get rid of them. The knowledge exists, if somehow you managed to destroy all of them, someone would still make them again to gain power over others. So I can't advocate no more nuclear bombs, just I hope they're never used again.
And how many likes are needed to accomplish anything toward that goal? Everyone knows that only "thoughts and prayers" can actually accomplish real progress.
@@finncullen Ha ha you a funny dude!
It saved countless lives. Agreed it is awful but they asked for it. The flattening of Tokyo and other cities with carpet bombing was arguably more destructive but if we had done a land incursion many more would have died on both sides. Naive hippy dippy Lily Allen-level "politics" just make you sound foolish and ill-informed
Also, asking people to like on such a subject is a pretty shallow thing to do
І як ваші лайки спрацювали для України? Лайки це херня, а ось те що США, Англія та інші країни союзники допомагають нам з озброєнням це дісно впиває на війну з нашим йобнутим сусідом і ми їм дуже вдячні
39 years go? Impossible. Oh, I wish the 80s never left me. A special moment in time.
If it's in your memory, they have never left you.
What about being born in 93 and missing out on all these classics 😂
I was there , best time ever ! X

I was 19 when I joined the army in 83` and I remember all my friends was playing this for me. Now i`m 60 and still listening to it
I’m 14 and I love 80s music. My grandparents grew up in the 80s so I like this stuff because of them.
There was some great music from the 80s so many happy memories for me growing up gay in London I miss them yrs but the music will never fade or die
Me too I love this type of music (for example Queen, Pink Floyd, Guns N’Roses, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams exx exx)
@@giovannibeverini5540 good choice in music. Pink Floyd are great Dark Side Of The Moon is a great album. So is the wall. And I also love Queen. Freddie was such a great man and I have a few Queen albums on cd and vinyl. I also recently found their debut album in my attic on cassette
@@ashleyscottthomas6633 you was lucky to be alive back then. A great gay icon was Freddie Mercury.
Freddie was a brilliant musician my favourite song and video is I WANT TO BREAK FREE so funny with the band dressed up and Freddie doing the hovering
Qué buena canción!! Marcó diferencia en su época y está en mi lista Top de canciones de los 80s. Recordando desde Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪
This is Awesome this song🎸
The fact is that OMD was an 80's hits factory and up to these days they continue to save us from our misery!
Whenever i google to see where the EPIC bands are from.......always good old England 🏴
Bravo, timeless OMD! A 50 something y.o. from Spain who appreciates the difference and understands that the best pop music in the 80s (by far) came from England.
Yeah, absolutely. Let me get this straight: So we have OMD, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Ultravox, Queen, Slade, The Police. Not enough? Okay. Yazoo, Erasure, Eurythmics or Frankie goes to Hollywood. Tears for Fears, Wham and Def Leppard. And that's just a few bands. No solo artists as Nik Kershaw, Billy Idol or Chris de Burgh and so on...
Who else is having an 80's music marathon? :-)
Me. Down an 80's rabbit hole!!
+Mark Zane oh fuck how did you know?? :D
who isn't

Absolutely one of the best songs and best bands of the 80's!
nothing will ever come close to the 80's music
This song gives me goosebumps, it’s just so amazing the melody , the beat everything is amazing . I love it 2024 🎉 and I’m still listening to it.
It definitely has a Ramones vibe to it, especially the vocals.
My First favourite song ever... I was twelve
I was eleven ☺️🤝

My mother was born in the 60s, she literally had no idea what this song was about until I told her 2 weeks ago and has since listened to this song as if it was the first time. She really had no idea and gave her a shiver.

Makes me glad to have been born in the late 70s. Such a rich time for music in my youth. 😊
This is a great song. Do you know what it's about?
Me too. Seventies and eighties music was the best. All we hear now are badly revamped cover versions.
R.I.P. to my 5th grade teacher who showed me this song when we were learning about WWII
I'm so sorry 💔
Kids today we about WW2, the most destructive war in history. 75 million dead, millions more left maimed, genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation.....Heres a 80s new wave synthpop to explain it" :-))))
I’d lay a bet, that if my 70’s history teacher was still around, he’d be debating with your history teacher.
WW2 history has been flipped on its head to suit an agenda.
If my history teacher was still around, he’d be known today as a revisionist.
@@krazytroutcatcher The same thing is happening / has happened, to the American Civil War, the cause and reason for it have been "modified" to suit and push an agenda.
@@uhtred7860 Just like covid was invented to support an agenda. Wars are a money making racket for the rich, covid is making millions for big pharma. Small business are dying on a grand scale, while big business such as amazon and even Mac Donald's are seeing profits skyrocket.
The rich get more obscenely rich and the poor become poorer and become more dependent on governments. Which ofcause is the plan.
And, dont get me started on the brain washing corrupt main stream media. Town criers from the medieval era had more truthful and more accurate news.
Hypnotic music, wrought lyrics... OMD, you are a major band in the industry!

I used to think that, but I changed my circumstances (got rid of negative GFs and bad friends) and am now having as much fun now as I did in 1985.
You can too!
Yaass .........then I remember they kept saying USA or USSR was going to nuke us then they said AIDS would kill us all and they began banging on about the ozone layer but still happier times we all had our freedoms if you told me what we have let happen to our liberties and those of our children back then I would have said you were on drugs and had read too much 1984
Hmm I used to think that as well then I became a dad and even though we're so far down the socio economic ladder iam the happiest I've ever been. I didn't know what happiness was until I became a parent.
Then you must have missed the 90s.
