If anyone's interested - the outside video was filmed at Brimham Rocks and Fountains Abbey in North Yorkshire, England. Both are worth a visit on their on right, but even better knowing that OMD's video was shot there!
the Original is one of my all time favorite songs... powerful & magestic. Too bad the "church" had to MURDER her. What a great woman & this is a song I could literally hear as they burned her at the stake.
I'm proud to have almost all official material by OMD...and there's no extended version of 'maid of orleans' on any record....sorry, but I don't think that this is a real omd production... if you listen carefully, you can hear that parts of the 7"-version are only mixed or repeated...
As I've said to another poster - "There is actually no official extended version of the track. This version is a fan remix." Hope that clears the confusion.
@djliberator31 That's what age does to you. Well to me anyway, I could have sworn that there was alonger version. But no matter, this is brilliant what you have done here, it sends shivers down my spine everytime I hear it. Thanks for posting.
@zpflmtznmnn I have everything but all the original omd produced extended remixes....Im having trouble putting that together. Think you could help out a fellow fan ?
Great version. I had the 12" when it first come out but lost it when moving house. It's about time we had the extended version on here. Thanks for posting and nice video!
It's all just MUSIC!!! every decade has had it's cover artists I'm 41 going on 17 If only 1 person somewhere likes it. Then that's a good thing. This song is 1 of my all time favourites along with about a 1000 others!!! From songs by Iron Maiden to a good old church hymn. It is somethiing to complement your emotions MUSIC IS MUSIC!!!!
No one... thats a HUGE issue for me. Today its all about sex, crap (i mean rap) drugs and hate... no one puts thoughts on paper that mean something & puts REAL MUSIC as accompanyment. None of the garbage thats on the airwaves means anything. The 80's weren't all good (many crappy bands) but THIS is the stuff that makes up for it).
Not only did we get great music, but the artists and producers caught hold of a great vision and creativity such as we have not had in decades. Check out the Synth Britannia documentary for more on OMD and others - great!
PS...I have often wondered why this tune has never been played at the Edinburgh Tattoo??. Can you imagine the pipes and drums playing this?...For me it would be the highlight. That is if you are into that sort of thing...Just dreaming!! lol
Don't you just love youtube when people upload videos like this? Here I am trying to think of bands/songs I haven't heard for 20 or so years and I suddenly think 'OMD'. Favourited straight away!!!
Do you ever sit and wonder what this shit life is all about? This song makes you feel humble when you realise what certain people went through to live a decent life!!
@gus77golar Ordinary people, as well as the hero's and heroines of life, are often betrayed by their own leaders (whether religious, economic, political or tribal)often for mercenary reasons, it's wrong and utterly despicable ... BUT it isn't what life is about. Life is about looking after your family, neighbours and those closest to you "Do unto others as you would have done to you. This, like most principles of virtue, applies to both everyday life and government" (Confucius)
I really love this song and video ! To all 80s freaks like me out there, here is a hell of a question I want to be answered : WHY IS THE 80s VERY, VERY, VERY GREAT? Please answer me
