  • i was only trying to catch your eye

  • They need to make a New Wave 80's Tour... OMD, The Cure, Pet Shop Boys, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Yaz, New Order, and ABC. I would pay Big money to see those Acts on One Day Event.

  • @diegoreds A flock of seagulls don't forget.

  • Listening to this song makes me want to pick up the phone and call up my college friends and say "hi"; reaching back in time for just a moment. At least to get away from the chaos of this present for at least for a brief moment.

  • I love the way these videos cost about $10,000 to make but they are what people want. They want to see the guys perform the song, not a bunch over the top crap and you never see the musicians and singers.

  • Thought it strange how they and TFF showcased the 2 front men and the other guys aere invisible.

  • music was better blah blah when the music was better blah blah

  • Why is it a lot of you can only praise a great song by comparing it with all the bad songs ever written? That's not praise, my friends. Praise is when you compare it with another great song. I know, I know, that's not the way you think. But you were never taught in school how to think for yourselves. So I understand.

  • wooowwww one of my favorites!!!

    

  • One of my favorites.. have had the CD for years! And I remember seeing this great video on MTV back in the late '80's when they actually played music.

  • despite the touching lyrics, this song makes me bounce around for joy. it gives me happy chills... good stuff. I'll never 4get the time i heard this song while dreaming and woke up to dance around to it! a good memory.

  • I refuse to listen to new age I'll listen to new wave!

  • aren't they playing Cochella Fest this year too? My sister is going and sez they will be there. I would go, but plane tickets are too expensive. bleh....

  • tommyboyy...thanks. Just ordered the tickets!

  • OMD on tour in North America go to "omd.uk.com" for tour dates and other information!

  • Reminds me of 7th grade :)

  • my best song ever, positive music for the world

  • How the fuck did they ever get a record deal, he cant sing the lyrics could of been written by a five year old and most of there stuff sounds the same. The 80s were my twenties what a load of cods.

  • @yintontiddlyipo Why? Cause it is not the manufactured American idol bland singing crap we get now on the airways? They had a hook. An originally (and very good) singing voice.

  • super miuzik

  • que tiempos pasados pero inolvidable con los años 80

  • really love the 80's..turn back the time ..

  • If music is the soundtrack of our lives then I feel bad for the kid's these days having to endure crap like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and just about anything hip-hop related.  Music died a slow and painful death after grunge left the scene 15 years ago with nothing new to replace it. There's absolutely no imagination and creativity anymore. So we're left to listen to songs from the past as the airwaves rot the brains of our children with the sounds of Lady Gaga and Fergie. Sad, but true.

  • @WildBill6942 Sadly I have to agree with you. My nine year old daughter likes Justin Beiber and Miley Cyrus..... God help me!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i'm 15 years old, but it song is beatiful

    repsect from poland

  • The concept of "cool" is easier to sell than "talent" these days because it's cost-effective and 80% can't even tell the difference or make this conclusion.

  • Its just me who things or the vocal looks so much Trend Reznor from NIN?

  • Its funny to think that this was the last song the original line up of OMD recorded together before Paul and Andy parted ways in 1989 and now, 22 years later, the line up is back together and have just released a brand new album!

  • @tompom89 They have not broken at that time. If you look it up at Wiki, they were together from 77 to 96, took a hiatus only to return in 2006. But i don't know if they are going to make a new album.

  • @Supersweetguy Thanks for your comments but what I meant was that Paul Humphreys left OMD in 1989, the year after this song was released, effectively ending the original line-up of OMD. Yes you are right that OMD carried on after this until 1996 with Andy McCluskey and three new members but Im not talking about the second line-up of OMD that released Sugar Tax, Liberator and Universal in the 1990's. Im talking about the original band. OMD's new album is History of Modern. Number 28 in the UK!

  • @tompom89 Someone commented on OMD's other videos that OMD has a new album with all of their original members back.

  • @tompom89 Correct me if i am wrong.

  • God this were still times

  • SIMPLE AND BEAUTIFUL MUSIC VIDEO FROM A GREAT BAND

  • THX-KÖSZÖNÖM-SUPER!!

    LESLI

  • made me cry, this was our time, when normal and beautiful people sang real songs from the heart, gorgeous guys, heartfelt music, i thank god the 80's was ours, i feel bad the generation now is missing out on such real music.... and real people.... real talent... this was our time....

  • Man.... that was a long time ago.....one of the best though!

    I miss the 80's...the best music ...evah

  • @jadoregeorge ami me ubiese gustado aver vivido esa epoka son pokos los que la disfrutaron como tu saludos

  • One of their best songs, top 10 for sure.

  • Such a gorgeous song. Arrangement is flawless, from the strings, vocals and incredible beat that just drives you from beginning to end which I never want to come. Perfect song!

  • taking me back to 9th grade with this one.Love it.

  • EXCELLENT SONG!!

  • koszonom

    

  • awesome new wave song !! thanks !!

  • "you kill me with your charms... ♫"

  • omg heavenly so beautiful

  • All who declaim there is no good music today... you might be right, there is no good music today in the radio, most of the time.

    but there still might be some to find, if you search a bit deeper.

    look for "Deine Lakaien" for example... a bit darker, maybe less joyfull, but still... no one can say that's no real music. and so you can still find real artists, it's just harder for them to get as popular.

  • One of the best groub in the 80

  • I love OMD! still one of my favourites bands. The song 'If You Leave' was # 1 in the year 1986 in my country El Salvador and it was # 1 for the decade!!! Great memories from Radio Femenina in El Salvador!

  • I luv this band, here in Peru...

  • cmon the hoops

    love it

  • NIN's early and short-lived New Romantic phase.

  • OMD is one of my favo band group back in the 80's...i just can't get enough...peace brother tnx for posting..

  • one of my favorite bands yesterday and still today! electricity, enola gay, secrets, joan of arc... pphhhh :)

  • This is real music played by REAL musicians....today, anybody can grab a mic and scream shit into it and make millions....just garbage!....no talent at all....these old bands wrote, sang and played their own songs......they had talent....

  • danke.........................­.....

  • THIS IS MUSIC¡¡¡¡¡ not todays garbage¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

  • he kinda looks like nomar garciaparra at certain angles

  • this song rocks; U2 has a lot to answer for.

  • Music today is pathetic and lacks creativity, style and imagination that made the 80's everything it was!

  • ARIBA ARIBA ARIBA.........this is MUSIC at its best...well defined lyrics with poetic approach.....MABUHAY

  • @3LIONINTERNATIONAL ¡arriba arriba arriba...!

  • yeah, this kind of music was SWEET!!! no music it's all full of bad stuff. it's just a different type of beat... more hyper crazy! times are changing :-( good memories with this 80's music. i guess you could say the same if you love 70's about the 80's. you can never make people happy.

  • Real good music. The 80's will live forever...

  • God I loved OMD.....retro 80s band......some of the guys were hot!!! Saw them in concert when they opened for the Thompson Twins...wow..so long ago!!

  • im gonna cry...

  • 3:16

  • 80's forever! love u omd!

  • I was born '89. Man I wish, as the dude below says, that I was at these gigs. Bloody seminal. And 'sick', as we say now! ha

  • Great song, wonderful lyrics, and a perfect performance.

    Joseph F

  • Huge memories! Thanks!

  • I was born in 86. This song kick ass!!! Seriously what better decade than the 80's?

    If only I was fortunate enough to be a teen back in those days, I'd have much more fun than I'm having now.

    To all you old school people, keep your spirit alive, don't conform to this new age of crap music!

  • vishuzkev! you are soo right I was a teen in the 80's it was the most fun the fashion and of course the music! I was in all the clubs back then dancing to 80's music! and dressing in all the different styles!1

  • I was an teen in the 80s, and truly love the music. But I love the new music now as well especially since it seems quiet a few artists are taking inspiration from that decade and you can hear it in their music.

    Temper Trap and Depreciation Guild are the latest 2 I've noticed this from.

  • @vishuzkev 1986 is when i was finishing high school. it was quite the decade. while others had some good points, the 80's will always be known by many as the "fun" decade.

  • @vishuzkev

    I consider myself old school and was fortunate enough to have these tunes on the air waves after I graduated in '82. Great memories that will never die! You are right about todays junk............I will not even use the word MUSIC in its description because music means something. Todays stuff is crap and cannot compare.

  • @vishuzkev I was a teen in the 80s and it was a truly amazing time! I watched MTV non-stop! We used to wait for world releases of videos, and sometimes they would launch a new video at midnight and you'd get together with friends for a party and to stay up and wait to see the video! Wow...takes me back.

  • @vishuzkev Shut up. Quit looking for attention. Nobody thinks you are cool because you listen to music from another decade. We all do. You are not special. If you aren't having fun it's your own fault.

  • Really good song !

    80's really the best !!!

  • OMD was such a great band. It's a shame alot of people have forgotten about them when talking about 80's music.

  • new wave rules!!

  • 80s all the way

  • Ey que buena eslo mejor gracias por resucitarme .

  • Makes me feel kind of old.

  • totally reminds me of that first hairy taco I sucked in the 85

  • Omnomnomnom

  • LOL.

  • niiice!

  • lmao at taco

  • superb post, I like that a lot

  • Is that Roger Daltrey on the vocals?

  • yes it is! :D :D :D :D :D :D

    j/k, no.

  • Andy McCluskey

  • Christ,they dont make them this good anymore....these songs are timeless,takes you back to an age where music was was at its peak,sadly the 21st century has proved to be the slow death of music where it is taken over by manufactured garbage and monotonous rap crap..

  • @Skyeskimmer Yup

    studio polished turds

  • @Skyeskimmer, the result of drug abuse. The two crappy neurons of the "artistis" of today can not work. They need to copy classic hits of 60's 70's and 80's.

  • @Skyeskimmer : Ever heard of a little band called Coldplay?

  • @risefromthedust I haveand their music makes me want to slit my wrists,sorry mate,they are not in the same league as this,this s pure pop which appealed to the masses of which a lot of the 80`s did,Coldplay unfortunately didnt...good as they were,their music was bland and unappealing to many,Chris Martin would be an ok singer when his voice breaks!

  • @Skyeskimmer no kidding! I love OMD brings me back to my High School days! Miss those days :)

  • @Skyeskimmer

    This is the sound of my live, OMD love it or hate it.

    Best is it, for my

  • @Skyeskimmer Why are you telling Christ something He probably already knows?

    I've read on YouTube comments that music peaked in the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Now why is that? Could it be that we only remember the good songs? Yeah, I bet that's it.

  • @Skyeskimmer Christ never did. But it's obvious OMD did.

    Why is it all the great songs were written and sung before we were born? Like the patent official back in the 1800s who said all that could be patented had already been patented, you're saying all the great songs that could ever be have already been written. Now that's mighty myopic of you, friend.

  • @Skyeskimmer so true there was heart and soul put in to music now they ryme about killing rapeing and drugs what is up with that

  • u nas w tych czasach w takich skórach jeździli na wueskach...

  • nice video, nice sony, nice 80's

  • Delicious heartbreak with each single. OMD will always be the soundtrack to my formative years.

  • i was born a decade too late

  • puta q buen tema q elegante fino muy fino

    los 80s es lo mejor que ritmos q uno siento la musica no esas huevadas de reguetton soy de ecuador

  • This song reminds me of a club in my city named Sexton, everybody would get on the floor to dance... How I miss the 80's. Sexton was the name of the club. My city's name is Barranquilla in Colombia.

  • Same here, They sang good & excellent songs

  • why today nobody makes music like this? Fine, pure, good taste and good style music. Only those cacophonies of black guys pretending being brave, and really being myssoginous.... Miss those times...!

  • Don't despair Ulises. You might like the Mary Onettes. They make music like this NOW.

  • @ulisespaceprobe you have not heard of ariel pink then? other than that youre right

  • GET A LIFE!!

  • This is a very good song! :)

    If you think, think, think and also have feelings in you!

  • I love you............

  • OMD RULES ! Long live the 80's!!!!

  • I've just got a new obsession. It's called OMD. LONG LIVE THE 80s (and their fans!!!!!)

  • If ever a song encompassed the feeling of respectability of Boy meets Girl, then this is it. Just one great song and would be a great 12" dance remix. Hint hint you techno geeks! And I say that lovingly.

  • No se como pero espero algun dia verlos tocar, en muletas, en silla de ruedas, con suero! como sea, se reunan y toquen, yo los iria a ver.

  • This was such a FANTASTIC band...vastly inderrated! This band deserves to be in the RRHOF a helluva lot more than about 90% of those who have been inducted in the last five years!

  • el profesionalismo y el talento juntos= OMD

    D

  • They started by "experimenting with home-made kit-built synthesizers, and circuit-bent radios" and made their own unique kind of music. They made a tour last 2007, "featured a selection of their best known hits, and audience reaction was sometimes so positive, that they saw the crowd on its feet for the entire show that the band seemed surprised and delighted by their applause." -Wiki

    My hats off to these great musicians! They are truly one of the best in New Wave history!

  • ang ganda ng kanta masarap balik balikan

  • greaaaaaaaat

  • Great song n good memories with this musik.

  • Cheers to that!

  • Easy to forget how many great songs this band had. ...and even easier to love them when I hear them again

  • this is the best band ever

  • I can't tell you how many times I sat on the beach with my boom box and played this song over and over and over. Ahhhh...to be 16.
