  • my song

  • I've got a secret....

  • how can you not include this timeless classic in the pantheon of the Mighty 80's???

  • ??? From which movie were those closing credits at the end of this video? Not complaining - I know I've seen the film, but I'm having a brain cramp and can't remember which it is.

  • I love this song! Good times; good times!

  • I discovered this just a few days on Spotify. I'm 24 and I'm in love with 80s music. The best musical era! I would love to go back to those years!!

  • funny, though...i always thought this was the pet shop boys and i could never find it on their albums! hooray to omd for instilling another incredible influence on my life and my own music too!

  • SECRET! I havn't been able to get this out of my HEAD!.... This is all :)

  • well at least the 9 deaf people at least are not blind... too bad.

  • Great Music lyrics and vocals - they did very well in the usa with their music. Great live band - I caught them at 3 show from - 2 in 1985 one i believe 1988

    The fans were phenomenal - and then after their solo tyour, they opened for the Thompson Twins in Buffalo at the Shea Theater (wonder if that is still in businness..

    My lats time seeing omd was when they opened for Depeche Mode tour (I think it was for Depeche Mode's Music for the Masses album).

  • hey jonblaze, wonderful story thanks for sharing it.. long live our 80's ..generation

  • I have a secret, this group OMD and this song reminds me of my ex-girlfriend that has gone out of my life......the secret is i still care for her......its the way she goes, what was once and never again....but now you all know of my secret!! Long live the 80's

  • When I bought the CD single of 'Dreaming' in 1988 it had the 12'' mix of 'Secret' included. I loved the catchy tune - it became one of my favorite OMD songs!

  • i will personally hunt down everyone who does not like this vid. OI!

  • I love this song! Reminds me when I was a freshman in college. I used to attend these parties that my sister organized with her high school friends. And I had a BIIIGGGG CRUUUSSHHHH with one of her really gorgeous friend. It was my secret!!! ;)

  • Oh my god. I've been an OMD fan for a long time but I never really looked at this song. My god its great, so new wavy too. I love finding new old songs by a band I thought I liked only to find when I look deeper there is still more gold after years.

  • @s0nnyburnett couldn't agree more. i remember it well. i'm so pleased 2 have found it again.

  • Fantastic! I wish the 80's would come back! I sound old now.

  • First time saw "OMD" live in concert was back in June of 1988,the opening band for "Depeche Mode" during their,"Music for the Masses",world tour.

  • The best memory

  • One of the goog

  • Class of 1987. Great song. 

  • the best OMD song ever. love it.

  • i love it this video

  • ive seen omd many times why did the 80s have to leave i miss so much

  • ang galing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • always the best of music with a positive message to the world

  • Why don't people make this kind of music anymore?

  • @lukske4 I concur!!! Why don't they?

  • Comment removed

  • i wil never forget u misty

  • First there was OMD that we know, and they made expectations true.

    Then came OMD with a nice message of peace and love.

    The applause for "Sister Mary" was huge and lasted long.

    Some people , I did ,stood up for love!

    Then the show went on.

    So was their concert in AB Belgium nov 2010 .

    And it was nice and good.

  • #63 in the US? Come on, it was WAY better than that!

  • Sweet Paul :-D

  • Awesome song! Great band . I want to go back to the 80s.

  • no me canso de escuchar esta musica , q bella

  • @Ferrers88, OMD has two vocalists. The lead singer is Andy McCluskey. This is Paul Humphreys singing. He generally sang backup, but he did sing some of OMD's best songs!

  • such a bummer that this wasn't a MONSTROUS hit - should've been bigger

  • Choooooooooon! Can remember falling asleep everynight listening to 'Crush' on my Murphy midi system that I bought from from earnings as a paper boy... much simpler times.

  • and soon live ready

  • wtf who is the singer!

  • I love everything about this video and this song

  • the other omd songs.

  • check out my htc touch pro 2 in action. Been getting many iphone users saying WOW!!!!

  • It's well crafted songs like this that really makes me love pop music. Yet, the sh** that is passed on as pop music now a days is worthless. Back in the 80's even pop music demanded good talent, song writing, and a catchy tune. None of that is present in today's music at all.

  • @lhart99 damn right...I was born in '72 and grew up on this music...good times...miss those days....

  • S- Sweetest

    E- Everlasting

    C- Catchy

    R- Rolling

    E- Excellent

    T- Tune that there ever was! (I Love this song so much that I added it to my favorites 7 times.

  • I have been looking for this song for months. Thank you so much for posting it lol. I love this song so much.

  • I bet Paul regrets that hairdo lol

  • @scorpiotrue Now, why would he regret this?

  • @Supersweetguy Total mullet lol

  • This song has aged well

  • This song reminds me so much of my friend Sigrid....Sigrid, where are you? I miss you terribly

  • OMD Rocks

  • One of the best Songs out of my Youth .

  • <3 OMD! :)

  • skip the almost cheesy bits and live this celebration.

  • Actually, when i was in highschool this song is my favorite! one of the 80's best.

    "Ohh my secret is this love!"

    sweet memories..

  • la escuche con un primo por primera ves cuando tenia 13 años una de las mejores cancines ahora tengo 32 y a mihijo legusta que tiene 12 nunca pasan de moda

  • When I first saw this, I thought OMD was a misspelling of "OMG".

  • @sagacious03 LOL

  • the best band of the 80,s imho

  • 0:21 susan boyle in 1980s

  • 8os is gpood, even today, i think 8o s is good

  • if you don't like it , you don't get it

  • 1983-84, riding in my 1979 Volkswagen Scirroco with the Alpine Stereo at full blast to this song.

  • @christschool This song came out in July 1985.

  • @robfergusonjr UK original version was out in 84

  • @christschool Okay, my bad ...

  • por fin encontrè esta canciòn: recuerdo haberla escuchado en los 80 en la playa cuando atardecia, fue el mejor verano de mi vida y mientras se acababa la cancion pensaba que tambien se estaba acabando ese verano y quizàs por que no, tambien mi adolescencia, casualmente el video tambien transcurre en una playa. hermosa cancion

  • high school life one of the best years and that was 80's and that was new wave time and that was OMD's secret is all about and that is.............

  • a sweet 80's mullet, i'm so jealous

  • Might sound wierd, but I love this song by this great band for the same reason I like Johnny Cash - can't control my emotions when I hear it!

  • All I do is close my eyes when I listen to this song and I'm there in High School...awesome times

  • Una canción inolvidable. Gracias

  • one of the best songs from the greatest era - the 80's! thanks for posting! ;-)

  • ME ENCANTA ESTE GRUPO!!

  • Great song! Great band! What can I say, 80's rule!

  • 80's is still the best

  • I remember staying up until midnight during summer break playing cards (I was 11-12 y/o) with my brother and sisters, eating chips and salsa, and listening to 80's songs from bands like OMD, then hitting beach the next day or walking down the street to hang out with my good friends. We're all living apart now in different states but I'll always love those times when we used to live together in the same household.

    So thankful that with Youtube I can prop these songs for free anytime. Sweet!

  • @shogunsong You could listen to music back then and be transported to another world. Music so whimsical and dreamlike. Can't say that about todays "music".

  • New Wave is the new classic rock....so is the keyboard..

  • saw them with depeche mode in sacramento on the 101 tour, both bands were awsome

  • without new wave music would suck

  • timeless

    o - original

    m - magic

    d - danceable

  • que gran exito del mundo

  • had forgotten all about this song...

  • I love this song & vidéo clip !!!

  • fuckin love this song!

  • S - superb.

    E - excellent.

    C - creative.

    R - rhythmic.

    E - electronic.

    T - tune.

  • Great tune .shame most pop music has gone so downhill these days ......

  • One of the coolest songs ever made in my opinion.

  • I always loved the beginning with the chick saying "secret" growing up. Great song. Family Fav

  • great!!

  • jaja, das waren noch zeiten.

    verändert haben sich die beiden sänger nicht all zu viel.

  • OMG

    This song makes an "flashback" to the 80-ties.That was my best Time in life,i was young and all around was clear and marvelous.

    And today??The wolrd is going down in little steps,and we took part in it.The younger generations are confused about their Future that we have "built" them.

    No Jobs many countries are in financy collaps...

    Worl what have we done to you and ourselves??

  • Pal, it all started in the 80´s.........the yuppies from then are the guys who are fucking this world now. Remember that.

  • i am so glad my kids love and listen 80's music. i never had to force it on them they just love it and are jealous they missed the 80's

  • Djclithead if you think the 80s suck why are you looking at 80s clips...duurrrrr

  • DJClinton, the black and white images are supposed to evoke a memory of times past. The way someone would remember their childhood crush and the events that were taking place at the time.

  • It's about a homosexual affair ending with the married one going back to his wife -- Duh! Watch the video.

  • Comment removed

  • @ericdetroit What a homophobic hater? What made you think this is homophobic video? Look, if you're like one of those American who think New Wave is gay, then this type of music is not for you. Don't insult this please!!!!

  • see in the 80s, the music was of importance, whereas the video took a back seat (except for michael jackson of course). Nowadays, you got great videos but mediocre music. take your pick

  • @djclintonk And this is why negativity rules? Why complain? What have this band done to make you such a negative person? And for one, why are you giving out such negative comments? If you don't like this video, don't watch it for God's sakes.

  • love this hello athlone boys and princess high

  • One of the best from the 80s. This song was huge when it debuted in Canada.

  • actually there was a time in which they were quite successful in the us

  • O.M.D. Stands For Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. They Had a Few Hits in the 80's. If You Leave was Used in Pretty In Pink Movie.

  • these are actually one of my favourite bands of the 80s ..gud stuff

  • Los 80s y 90s la mejor musica del mundo esta cacion es maravillosa ... gracias a las estaciones q dan esta musica tan perfecta y hermosa... por favor no mas porq

  • 2.52 even

  • 2.53 looks like andrei kanchelskis.lol

  • These guys are touring with Simple Minds....I don't think they will be coming to the U.S. : (

  • me encanta el video!!!!

  • O-one.

    M-more.

    D-damn great song from omd.

  • I get it.

  • Is that the beach at West Kirby?

  • Comment removed

  • It's no secret that this is an awesome song!!

  • I feel so weird that I was a teen when this was new and now i'm pushing 40....time goes too fast, but this song makes me feel young.

  • TE AMO LETY!

  • should have been their biggest hit

  • cool song. the 80s rocked

  • Andy and Paul were just talented period...that they then explored the new frontiers of electronic music at the same time is just a bonus...

    Then take in to account Dazzle Ships and the brashness of it all...well done.

  • oh hell yes, this song is awesome. I mean these synths are fucking awesome. All these 80's music artists are so talented - and way better than the shit music thats on the radio today, no one today has any talent

  • I could not agree more !

  • i love the song ....

    i saw this video 8 year ago by accident on vh1 on big 80s :-)

  • awesome......new wave  the best

  • Anyone know where the moby mix is on Y.T ??? Thanks

  • always and forever New Wave the best<3

  • yes sir!

  • This reminds me of my nightly drives on the highway with the windows down goin at top speed! yay! OMD!

  • Souvenirs, souvenirs...

  • I saw OMD for the first time in 1987 when I was 19 and it was an AWESOME concert. Perfection. Takes me back everytime I hear them......

  • 1987...Me too--I'm guessing it was when they toured with Depeche Mode, opening for DM on their Music For the Masses tour. Depeche Mode explored the dark side of electronic music--my favorite electronic band.

  • yea I love depeche mode

  • 80's was the time when i was a little devilish rat, scurrying, running around..and this quintessential 80's song feels like endorphins running thru my little boy's body....does this makes sense? im trying to articulate 'freshness'

  • i am 28 years old....... for me the best music

    80s soooo nice

  • BRILLIANT!!!!!!

    80's forever!!!!

  • OMG this is still one of my fave songs!!

  • The great song in BRAZIL in the 80s ! : D

  • all my secret is this love... what a fantastic song!!!!!!

  • i hate the fact that itunes doesn't have this song! i can't get it onto my ipod!!!!

  • una de las mejores canciones de los 80's

  • the secret is that he was gay or bi and he couldn´t tell her for som reason. anyway, we can interpretate this song in the way we want. this is one of the best eightees songs. OMD will always be the best.

  • That said, it's a brilliant song. Their best. Made my top 5 of 1985 out of almost 200 songs I considered. It takes a very very special song to bust into my yearly top 10, beating out my fave groups and this song did it (along with "High Fashion" by "The Family"). No idea why it tanked in the US charts. Should have made top 5. To "veranosummer": I completely agree. As of the early/mid 90's, I stopped doing my top 10 because there weren't even 10 remotely decent songs per year anymore.

  • this is definatly one of the very best of the 80's , and their best. forever live and die was great too

  • In response to mikeandcooper: I always thought the secret was that he was gay because it sounded like "you can't "F" me and make me feel it's worth my while". It would make sense. If I were OMD, I would have done a "take two" and made it sound more like "comfort". For some lame reason, Brits don't pronounce the "R" unless it's at the beginning of a word so this is the type of misunderstanding that often occurs. Then they add an "R" sound to words ending with an "A". Friggin' weird. "Ameriker"?

  • das ist mein song aus "meiner" jugend. Damit habe ich meine erste Freundin kennen gelernt. Danke dafür.

  • I just wish such music can come back! there is no music now, it's all horrible noise people listen to nowadays. Pitty!

  • Who doesn't love Secret? This song was in our heads during those evenings of summer and bicycle escapades, that student's gala dance and some broken hearts. There were some secrets we could reveal and then, for good or for worse, some secrets were kept, now late for regrets...

  • this was all over the "alternative rock" stations in summer '85 during out unnofficial, annual "6th grader picnic" back in '85... does that make me old?

  • wow, your badass

  • stare i dobre :)))

  • Kochane,cudowne OMD

  • I remember seeing OMD on American Bandstand. Thats how I got into liking their songs. Another Great Eighties Band!!!

  • OMD is touring the UK on the Simple Minds Tour later this year. Does anyone know if the tour is coming to the U.S.?

  • Increibles esos tiempos

  • nice song, but, are they rich nowdays

  • does he say you cant fuck me??

  • or dear god. really ? where in the the song did you hear that. look up the lyrics. this is such a sweet love song. one of the greatest groups of the 80"s one of the best song ever. no where in the song does it say " you can't *uck me.

  • I heard what mikeandcooper was talking about. At 2:15 - I can understand how someone could hear this incorrectly. After looking up the lyrics... "you comfort me...".

  • I wonder if people were just better then, or if there were more beautiful people I don't know, just trying to figure why so many beautiful things came from this time and why so much now seems of such lower quality.

  • crack and anphetamins spoiled everything , just like lsd did to the flower power generation

  • i grew up in the 80's, and its funny u say that, as i always thought the same about the 60's.

  • Of course--it's called the 20-year nostalgia gap. It takes 20 years for people to get nostalgic for their youth (sometimes less).

    It's why Grease & American Graffiti came out in 70's, Stand ByMe & Platoon in the 80's, and Dazed & Confused in the 90's.

    Next decade, there will be nostalgia for 90's stuff (already beginning)

  • good logic but i wonder what 90s nostalgia will be comprised of - grunge all over again??

  • this song take's me right back to junior high school,,as i remember making out with my 1st girlfriend after my last class at the far end of the parking lot!!!! ohhhh what great 80's memories!!!!!!

  • Now your on youtube. Pathetic

  • ..all I want is to hold your hand. xoxo

  • yes!!! this is all, i cant hide my secret if i heard this song

  • nice hair-cut........

  • 80s.

  • the band, yes, pink floyd, is, band, yes, is better?, yes, no, guitar ok, but you want touch secret garden? is no dirty, but angry for fist. yes? you like touch magic dirt pile?
