I remember going to see O.M.D @ the Empire theater, Liverpool back in 86. I got outside and said to my girlfriend, these are going to be crap, shal we sell the tickets and go to the pub instead.She said no of course, so we went inside and they blew me away. This song was their oncore and it nearly took the roof off the building, I have been an O.M.D fan ever since
I agree with all the posters about how they feel. As a 16 year old when this song came out...that was what real "Hope" was all about back then - Quality music. What is really sad and makes me cringe to know that the music industry sold out, now playing garbage that promotes domestic terrorism: "Rape a white ho.....kill a cop, yo where my gat be, gibs me a fo-tay n sheet." Cell phones back then were still a dream, but our music now is a joke. More proof is looking at our education system.
@phonk71 yeah , i do agree ! they were just remarkable and the first i like their very first work they 'd done . And here's quite true ! they have made plenty larger and smaller track and it's staying among favs of mine all the time :)
@phonk71 Hey, they were not underrated at all! Do you remember them? They were very sucessful and big at their time! Everybody talked about them with Enola gay, maid of orleans... I agree with you that their discography and many songs aren't known by majorities, they were art and art is for minorities,
@123christop In NYC, it was WLIR. they played this a lot. always listened to them for Depeche Mode, Erasure, ABC, U2, Madness(MY House), Phycodelic Furs, Flock of Seaguls, etc. Miss that station.
