    You still have to do "Souvenir" - you will love it... It starts very gently and then, a few bars in, this wave of synth just wells up underneath you, picks you up and carries you away... It's beautiful....

    All of OMD's songs are absolutely brilliant and underrated (yes, saying this as big as they were) - thanks Dereck! I can't agree more with "can't top that" - they are New Wave at its ultimate best!
    PS - The drums give me goosebumps!

    • @OnlyGoodMusic_

    Thank you so much Dereck for your reaction to “Maid Of Orleans”, I loved it heaps and am so glad that you loved the song as well and yep the 80’s will never ever be bettered for artistry and greatness, especially with those magical synths!!! And I love how OMD contrasted the beauty of the synths and mellotron with the dark and moody drums to take us back to medieval times, and I love so much too how the songs builds up, especially during the 2nd vocal part and then the drums kicking in even more!!! And the whole Architecture & Morality album was OMD at the peak of their powers and both “Souvenir” and “Joan Of Arc” were amazing singles as well!

    I was privileged to see OMD in 1987 in an outdoor amphitheater near Cleveland on a warm summer evening. They began with "Forever Live and Die" but went through *all* of their old material too. This song *filled* the evening air. Souvenir was divine. The only song they didn't perform was "Never Turn Away," which I adore ...
    Oh, they "opened" for Depeche Mode on tour for their "Black Celebration" LP. McClusky split from OMD but formed "The Listening Pool."

  • @Earcandy73
    @Earcandy73 11 місяців тому +4

    I enjoyed this song when it came out. 1981-82 ushered in a musical movement in the UK called “The New Romantic” OMD, The Human League, Spandau Ballet and even Dollar were part of that. The female in the video sported a hairstyle and makeup look that was ubiquitous back then.

    Song approaches like this with unusual themes (historical figures, airplanes, telephone boxes, oil refineries, etc.) is what makes OMD unique. Joan of Arc led the French troops to war and that is what this song sounds like with the marching drums. Also, OMD tends to use major chord progressions for tragic themes. This song and Enola Gay are examples of that. Also, OMD sometimes doesn't use choruses and songs like this and Enola Gay really didn't need a chorus because the melody of the supporting instruments compensate for the lack of a chorus. The key change into the last verse and the combined choir, drums and string sounds, as you noted, takes this song to a cinematic level.

    • @yorkhawk
      @yorkhawk 11 місяців тому +2

      OMD really understood how to do a key change. Most people go up a semi tone or two, which is actually quite unsubtle musically speaking. But in this song the key changes down 3 semitones, which forces Andy to sing up 9! Good job he has the range.

  • @drivingmebatty

  • @tortieville1984

    Yep the bagpipe sound is actually a Violin sound from a Mellotron. A lot of people were convinced it was bagpipes for years, but Andy McCluskey said in an interview it was a Mellotron violin sound.

    • @crhu319
      @crhu319 11 місяців тому +1

Are you never/ever heard of Kraftwerk befor...????? You should listening to Ultravox The Voice or The Thin Wall.....??? But your follow up should be Maid of Orleans from OMD...???? This is even better back from 1981/82.....???? Its never too late Discovering late 70s - early 80s POP Electronica.....???? Shame you never heard of Kraftwerks Robots 1978 or Autobahn full 22 min Version from 1975 .....

    With clear reference to Joan D'Arc, where he sings..."She cared so much, she offered up, her body, to the grave." I always felt he should have sung..."She cared so much, she offered up, her body, to the flames." The place where this was videoed is called Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. It's a sprawling, once monastic estate, and the abbey itself is very photogenic.

  • @martinarscott3524
    @martinarscott3524 10 місяців тому +1

    This is epic live, combined with Andy's infamous 'dad dancing' to the strobe lights :) Messages is another great track. Bit of background - in the early days the drums had to be laid down one piece at a time because the drummer couldn't play very well, but he was the only guy the band knew who had a drum kit!

    I am so glad that you have discovered OMD. One of my favourite bands. I suggested OMD to you a couple of years ago because I know how much you like synths. Another song, Enola Gay is about the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan. The plane was named after the mother of the pilot. Some of their album songs are a bit weird but most of their single releases are brilliant.

    This iconic song was first released on OMD‘s 1981 album “Architecture and morality“ and in early 1982 it was released as a single, which became a gigantic hit. It Germany, it became the best-selling single of 1982.

    Is it me or does the melodies sound similar to the main theme (the Hiccup and Toothless one) of How to train your dragon ?
    This song is definitely older but it feels really similar at some moments. Like one extra note here and there in the HTTYD theme, and a bigger orchestra. Inspired from this much ?
