  • so many memories with this song, must be getting older omg

  • Evokes being alone in a car in suburbia as dawn breaks.

  • A classic - way up there with the best.

  • Its knight rider!

  • the only song of his I've ever liked but I love it and the instrumentation is amazing on this song too!

  • Not heard this song for years, i love it.

  • and this house is not a home..........

  • makes me cry hadthis song at mygandads funeral he also lived on orchard road! x

  • yes his best ever love it

  • A truly beautiful song. I agree that this is his best song.

  • One of my very favourites - I love songs that tell a story.

  • Yeh it was about an affair he had. I remember him describing it vividly (probably on the radio) once. The girl's father was really angry and chased after him as she was upset when he left her. He learnt a lesson anyway as well as writing a good song.

  • "Hear the pips, drop a coin in the slot"..! Can you still do that nowadays..?

  • one of the most beautiful songs ever made! i think this one is absolutely..

    F A N T A S T I C !!!!

  • He makes the cheapest ass videos in music

  • Between all the rock I know and that is more than a lot this song is above the most

  • quite a very good ballad by leo sayer- i knew him in 1976- he's just great!

  • Yess one of my best loved songs!! <3 thank you Leo Sayer!

  • It reminds me of my first love, 23 years ago, still think of him and miss him.

  • @tessapes its not me is it lol x

  • wonderfull

    

  • Magnifique !!!!

  • Is it just me or does the synthesizer melody sound like Procol Harum's organ in "A whiter shade of pale"?

  • @schellebel Now that u mention it.. Sounds like " Whiter shade of pale" .. another great song ... LOL.

  • his best without doubt

  • Now this is one of my favourite depro songs of all time... break up with a girl when I was 15 years old... end of the world.. and Orchard road remind me of that time .. how nice to remember that moment till this day.. Thanks Leo Sayer..

  • Great song but it has to be said that Leo is self obsessed delusional half-wit..

    Sorry but just my opinion....

  • A great song - worthy of the Beatles or Genesis. His masterpiece? sadly not a big hit.

  • love it

  • Great Song by a gifted singer/songwriter

  • Amazing; recorded in one take;  Stunning; clever and beautiful

  • Love this song, brings back memories. Thanks for the video.

  • I remember seeing this on TV. Was this from his TV show..? Anybody?

  • it makes me remember times already forgotten

    great

    it is probably the best of leo sayer

  • Lookin' forward to my trip to Singapore 2day... Orchard Road here i come ;-)

  • Great memories of 1983 when I was just leaving school. Superb song and performance by Leo Sayer. Very distinctive synth sound - apparently Alan Tarney (of Cliff Richard and A-ha fame) using an early Fairlight CMI.

  • i love this vid

  • love this

  • i love this song and what it represents to me, we heared it all the time with my best friend when we were young. Love it!

  • Great song. Wow! Leo Sayer is brilliant singer and song writer. 

  • woo what a song, the lyrics are so precise, me and my bloke split up 2 months ago, and he played this to me on his mobile !!

  • leo is often overlooked. a great and unique soul voice. one of our best

  • This song is great! I was a little kid when I heart it first and still enjoy it today.

  • He`s making an obscene phone call

  • i've been searching this song for a long time, and now i found it... i really love it...

    this melody almost makes me cry when i hear it

  • Beautiful song!

    such longing , passion in his voice :-)

    great artist !

  • @kaattz Thanks Kashif for the share Great song & performance Cheers

  • @kaattz I agree, under rated songwriter, Love all the tracks Alan Tarney did with Leo Sayer Barbara Dickson & Cliff Richard in the 80's

  • I have beautiful memories on orchard road ,when i was working on a cruise ship ,and i have spent many beatiful nights at the disco TOP TEN and CAESAR , i wonder if they still exists ,can anyone tell me dat ????

  • it just gets better///such power amd so very moving.....deeply touching..

  • Intemporal esta canção.

    Lindaaaaaaaaaaa...

  • Im so pleased to have found this this song to haunted me for years YES WHY was it so hard to find it stayed in my mind from first hearing it .

    It is personal to Leo as he had a fling and things went bad at home etc and you can see it in the words and emotion of the vocals,the best comes from your own experiences,very few songs get to you and you dont tire of I Love this from the moment I heard it.

    Thanks to the poster.

  • Why is this song so hard to find? Damn, was looking on youtube and google for days now. Not one mix with 80s hits has this song. What a shame.

  • i was driving through the countryide in about 1983 when i caught this song on the radio...i was so drawn and moved i pulled over off the road to listen.

    haunted by it i never heard it again for years.....

    the day i heard it wasa week before i left my wife......

    it brings goose bumps...thsi is the work of a great mind...thanks Leo

  • Touching...

  • als kleuter draaide ik m al grijs....

    orchard road is voor mij de nr1

  • tacky video but great song. they never play this song

  • such beautiful melody ! so moving !

  • I had a beautiful time in ORCHARD ROAD , THIS SONG BRINGS BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES ,,,,GREAT LEO ,,,

  • Mooi nummer,jammer ruud dat je zo veranderde het had zo mooi kunnen zijn ,maar ja alleen dit nummer herinnert mij nog aan het begin.

  • a bit of "A whiter shade of pale" melody here ...

  • i wil no longer respond to vidios on you tube as some people dont take it as "bit of fun. they are so caught up in there own interlect that nothing else matters to them what is going off in the world. they really need to understand what is worth moning about and what to leave alone. instead of sitting in front of a computer all there life they should look at what is going on around them ... enjoy life

  • Easy&beautiful!

  • Una de las canciones más bellas que he escuchado. ¡Recuerdos y más recuerdos! Gracias señor Sayer.

  • His best song, just my view

  • Rubbish! This song is not about him having an affair at all. This song is about how Oftel took over BT's landlines and cut the connection for long distance calls. Leo started a protest and was thrown in Orchard Road prison for 7 days.

  • I don't know where you got this information from but it's total Bollocks!!

  • @MrHeadingley Great comment. Shame it's gone over so many heads here.

  • superbe

  • @lawboy73 I'm trying to get my head round what you posted. Right, he's married with his wife living in their home. He then moves HER out to bring his girl in. That does not work our so he is "pleading with his wife to let him come back." Back to where? He's still in his home. She's the one who moved out, not him. Something there does not make sense.

  • Comment removed

  • @lawboy73Only you can figure it out. You made a statement which is a total nonsense and now claim you made a "slight typing error" yet there is no typo. The tone of your response tells us that (i) you haven't a clue what happened as you do not clear it up and (ii) it is you who needs to get a life judging by your prickly reaction to merely having pointed out to you that something you posted on the internet is ambiguous and your intrasigent stroppy failure to clarify it.

  • @lawboy73 You say "and this is me pleading with my wife to forgive me and let me come back" but come back to what what? You kept the home and kicked her out. It is for her to come back not you....... and on another point I trust the wife told "you" to go fvck yourself because it is a bit rich to plead to get back with her merely on the basis that things did not work out with the mistress rather than merely trying to bring her back from the substitutes bench as a plan B.

  • @lawboy73 I know they are Leo's words andyou used yourself to illustrate a point. I can well understand your lack of confidence in expressing yourself so you can be understood. I bet using four letter words to abuse gives you comforting compensation for your lack of intellect. Yeah, I whine to people but that's better than whining over the internet like a lone loser. "For her to come back into his life" I bet it hurt having to answer the question. Stupid cunt? Thick cunt? You're so basic.

  • @abelseeman these my friend are leos words not mine ... you should get a life come out of your bedroom, breath some fresh air , go for a walk .. you never know you may even stop picking up on peoples mistakes on here .. enjoy life my sad little friend or you will grow old and bitter .. if that is possible

  • @lawboy73 You need to get a life because you enjoy duelling with someone you look down on rarther than relating to the answer to your nonsense. I may indeed growcup old and bitter but what intrigues me is how you have become so bitter so young. No, it doesn't interest me so no need to answer.... and yes, I know they are Leo's words. I couldn't imagine you creating something beatiful or successful..

  • Comment removed

  • @lawboy73 If I do need to get a life but I will not be modelling that on the master of the obsessive irrelevant response whose life revolves around a desperate needs to have the last word on an onternet forum as he will no doubt prove by replying to this.

  • souvenirs ,souvenirs!!!

    The backing is just first-class. Alas it is the only record by Leo that I liked.

  • This is such a good song

    although sayer is a brilliant song writer

    i belive this is one of his best

    thanks for this

  • I can never listen to this song just once its sheer brilliant

  • @georgethe100 Leo, if you are reading this, this is one of the greatest songs of all time. Who has not suffered such emotional pain, let alone the frustrations of trying to phone somebody from a call box - no coins, line permanently engaged etc. The final frustration is that this song is totally out of my vocal range. I just love the turns of the harmony. Could go on, but I am emotional wreck after hearing this again!
