OMD Then You Turn Away

[urbyne]

this is real music this song takes me away from reality.

[Dominionian]

Saw them last night at 9:30 Club, what an excellent show!

[toemeraldcity]

Don't remember this song?

[tomyyboyy]

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

[dgmaffi]

Imagine. John Lennon.

[themoshmenace]

@cue303 Then don't be a homosexual Welshman.

[joeriginal]

At the begginging of the song, can anyone say... "Imagine all the people"?

[YoshiroShin]

Great track but the constant flying girl at the beginning starts to get a little obnoxious to me...

[jcruces1]

much love to OMD from Seoul.S.Korea!!!

[draigwrecsam]

Love this song, although the tune is very similar to 'Imagine' by John Lennon in places!

[thirstytrip]

@draigwrecsam that was the titel i was looking for!!!

[Dubguyful]

1 word " Brilliant "

[urbyne]

wow what gets better than this i mean the filling i get when i hear bliss like this its amazing. this clearly beats music of today.

[doubleredsx3]

such a sexy, seductive song...

[amx502]

fantastic song...a trip down memory lane. OMD..the best

[cue1cole]

i bought this "tape" album in september 1991 for £5.99 and i still play it today. his music will not go out of fashion.

[xymox06]

Love them, saw them for The Pacific Age as headliners and a year prior opening for The Power Station! NEver heard of them the first time I saw them. Loved them ever since! Still awesome!

[milejdi1608]

chociaż na chwile wrócic tam...do tamtych lat;(

[FlOuRiSh18]

then you turn away,how dare

[trevororrell]

This group was so underestimated by the media and critics.

Auesome.............I guess that is the word.

trevororrell

[sarcasticbyfar]

a very underated group one of the best of the 80s ive saw them live 8 times :)

[Ian25tech]

This band is still great!! Or even better!!

[buffygirl1967]

love this song x

[pete4monc]

@Druffmaul .. What crap, they're still cool today!

[dafdaffer1]

i loved OMD but didn't care for Andy's Christmas jumpers lol

[DeidraDulin]

Anyone that puts OMD down should try making a song as good as one of their worst!! OMD is awesome they have a song for every feeling.

[OcenaSoft]

Back in the 80's - I thought I was the only person to like OMD. I have since found that many of my friends liked them too but were too embarrassed at the time. I was proud to love OMD and still am. Thank goodness people like you put this up. I still have all the original cassettes I purchased at the time too...

[Negrodamus55]

Sugar Tax was the last time they played Montreal (Club Soda). They promised they would be back. Still waiting..... New album coming out and tour dates announced but only Europe so far..........

[TheDjrafalski]

super

[Druffmaul]

Ugh... OMD were definitely finished by this point. No reason to keep going beyond the first four LPs.

[flans44]

@Druffmaul Thats funny, I was always amazed that they ever made it beyond the first four LPs. Sugar Tax, Liberator, and Crush are by far the best!

[Druffmaul]

@flans44 Yeah, hilarious.

As they always say, there's no accounting for taste. If you can actually enjoy that tripe... have at it.

[xymox06]

@Druffmaul what do you know.......The Pacific age was awesome! I would go for the first 6, but that is more than most bands put out ever! The later is ok stuff, more pop drivin. Still awesome

[ilovenitnat]

@Druffmaul Sadly, you're not wrong.

[themoshmenace]

@Druffmaul I like 'em all.

[themoshmenace]

@Druffmaul I like 'em all.

[bigscale1]

@Druffmaul when did Owen Wilson start making records?

[littlemeus]

found him on playstation home omg was and is graet....!

Muy bien,fantastico son las palabras!

[aimeliot]

I found my CD Sugar Tax yesterday- I had forgotten how much I love OMD !!!

It transported me back to when I was 24----happier times !!!

[Hchest]

Beautiful Song

[Hchest]

Beautiful Song !

[123xxrobertx]

What a sweet remarkable song !!! I can really hardly take my ears off everytime i hear it , timeless release !!

[davieboy198607]

[walesspiritof76]

I remember bying this album when in Malta and it was so hot and I was so young....

I miss the 80´s

[kleine415]

gefällt mir sehrgut

[usmanhasan]

E17 copied this bass line for their biggest hit.

[sullyosul]

just what i said man

[jc0r]

@usmanhasan damn i only just realised, this Deep Deep Down?

[sullyosul]

east 17 sampled this? all around the world

[sullyosul]

imagine so true

[darkshiningstar3]

Definitly should have been on their Best of in 1988

[MarkMargo]

this song is from 1991

[Jarv1s]

This was released in 1991 so it couldn't.

[QtNerd]

The first copy of "Then you turn away" got out 1987 so it could.

[Jarv1s]

That was Never Turn Away

[111roslin]

This song is so captivating, still one of OMD's greats to date!

[MrKnopf]

Sounds like ,,Imagine" by The Beatles. ;-)

[magpiej23]

Another in a long line of great songs from OMD

Superb

[numanoid17]

OMG! I have not played this cd in so long! Sugar Tax was an excellent recording:(( Too bad it reminds me of my ex wife from years ago:(

Danny Jimenez

aka Numanoid17

[amariedavies]

Stumbled upon this song, looking up other OMD songs I love...wow -- this could very well be my favorite!! I love them... =]

[vjrei]

People jumping... too 80's, that is from New Order. But the song is great and he is very elegant.

[Sunburst75]

CLASS, long live OMD.

[jeffiegirl]

This was a such a good album. They got it so right!!!!!!

[stan0724]

OMD forever...go Bears!

[cerati900]

q elegante esa cancion me encanta me levanta el ego mas

[laurak2880]

My God, I just love love this song.

[Kyo2Song561]

not only you RUN AWAY but you turn your BACK on US isn't that FUNNY someday you'll REGRET this forever in your LIFE.

[Cocus62]

Muy buena canción.......excelente!!!

[gosiek35]

Dareczku to dla Ciebie :))))

[MikkaJo]

Aż dziękuję... ale ja nie jestem Dareczkiem... ;-/

[Gimptazia]

great the song sounds great, what studio did they make this track in? what was the mixing desk does anybody know of this

[Afishegg]

subscribe to my fishy channel for 80;s music and other useless videos!

[jangster39]

luv this album!

[Sunraydub]

excellent tune

[taoistcowboy123]

White Crane Spreads Wings :54

[B52sguy]

Just a pretty love song, from the heart of someone burned. Just 100 stars.

[andelacruzz]

no quiero nada solo un nuevo amanecer para mi , nice song

[rd80schild]

@andelacruzz esta bien, entiendo mucho. Es la vida . La paz amigo!

[gaywitches4aborshun]

I think this was the first album that Andy McCluskey did without Paul Humphreys, still using the OMD name.

[MarkMargo]

yes it is and it´s fantastic

[luisonlinemarch]

I remember this song when I fell in love of a bella donna called Silvia while we were learning English. And then she turned away, buaaahhhhh!!!!

[JosephKuby]

Find her on Facebook.

[luisonlinemarch]

@JosephKuby Thanks.. I ll try.

[rd80schild]

@luisonlinemarch Lo siento mi amigo...Amor es muy peligroso. 

[LaybuyLee]

Loved this, forgot all about it. Cheers for mind nudge to Sugar Tax...x...

[TheOfin]

Cool gibt es seit ende 2008 auf DVD.

[MarkMargo]

I think the album "liberator" is very similar to "sugar Tax" but Liberator don´t have the magic sound of this great album

[MarkMargo]

Another great amazing song from sugar Tax

[cowboysarecool]

This song reminds me of a girl friend I broke up with a few years ago. I listened to this song over and over right after the break up...

OMD is just so briliiant and thoughtful.

[cue1cole]

sugar tax i bought this in september 1991 on mc still got and the price sticker still intact.. cost me 3.49 pounds

[SoulStirring7]

"Sugar tax" that's the album...couldn't think of the name...

Ths bazza7548 ;)

[SoulStirring7]

Lol!

Lovin it...

[deeej86]

this is music, unlike the massproduced shit we are forced to listen to today, thank god you can make your own cds and buy the old ones, with music like this!!!

[bazza7548]

was this not the early ninties?

[punkman149]

Yes totally true, This song is from "Sugar tax",

released in July 1991.

The single release has to be from that seem time.

[temmyvdh]

Balloydspiritsoul that's the must stupid question I've ever heard, Because people in the 80s were THE people who really began to invent good songs with the beat, like Rock and the youth was much more attracted to that kind of thing.

[fernandoheinsohn]

Sin duda la mejor música de todos los tiempos, la de los 80´s, y los OMD están dentro de los mejores de este género y época.

[fedeaca]

great song!!!! Omd is great!!!

[46corner]

Great driving music for mice. If only they had got hold of a proper dance beat!

[Iluvshoes84]

Let me tell you something, sweetheart. People were dancing to OMD's killer beats before you were a little tickle in your pappy's sac!

[46corner]

Hej Iluvshoes84

Not the nicest image but I am actually older than OMD by about 12 years and they were the first band I ever bought. If you think they are killer beats you need to get out more I think. I don't like all this patronising tone on Youtube but get sucked into myself sometimes so please don't think I'm dissing you too much, I still listen to OMD but the world has moved on.

[dovesfan]

hehe, nice comeback,. perfect infact. I would say that though the world has moved on from the 80's (obviously its moved on or it would stillbe the 80's), OMD have a great sound that would not be out of place today, infact i think they would blow minds today.

[juice237]

Classic! Has to be one of the best OMD albums if not the best!! I can listen thru the entire Sugar Tax album from the first song to the last non-stop! Great driving music!! Thanks for the post :)

[sonamors]

Nice!! .... what feeling!!

[Devotee06]

just love this song and OMD too :)

[tuxjade]

my mate rob proper loves this song it reminds him about an ex boyfriend

[heraclesmadrid]

Ya no se hace pop como este, es fantástico. It's wonderfull. Who can do pop music like OMD in this days?

[sonamors]

....simplemente xq a los de ahora piensan sólo en dinero... ;)

[EstrellaFugaz171]

me encanta...vivan los grupos de los 80' !!!

[SteffiSpeziStiff]

i looovee it! :)

♥

[tatinalanegrina]

OMD is Awesome. They opened for Thompson Twins in 1985. Both have great songs. Not like the shit nowadays

[cuteymus]

nooooooooooooooooo i knew , when i said u had right, its paul from them , the beatels

[cuteymus]

i have to say its true . omd ,u should feel a shammed , it is an elton number¨ nunberm i would say wham u know WHAM. GEOARGE AND HIS SIDE KICK ANDREW:( why u can do better,,

[hipiadu]

Otima música

[angelalewis25]

This song is good for a 'one-way-feeling'

[davieboy198607]

Sugar Tax is a great album,

Good music for driving! :D

[sullyosul]

east 17 sampled this yea??? around the world??

[16vr6]

Normally when bands split, the music suffers. Andy's proven that this is not always the case...

[76agan]

szukałam i znalazłam ,mniam!

[anhle23]

Did Andy invented metro-sexual in this video?

[leamgem]

(holmanmi)I actually thought that this was a return to form for Andy, remember it well from summer 91 and am still amazed how this never became a big hit!

[angelalewis25]

That's right, I don't know why it doesn't have 5 stars here - it's one of the best songs of OMD

[aloha808]

leamgem, it never became a big hit cos it's a very CRAPPY song by OMD standards! Too bland and commercial for people who like the early innovative OMD.

[positivekaya]

OMD is the bomb...this song rocks !!

[youpla72]

Good song

OMD OMD

Good music

[kihwanma]

i love this song and I love OMD OMD rocks!!!!!!

[cheeze25]

Awesome song and video... Who is the girl in the video though?

[Somaticae]

How awfull this OMD's song is!

[holmanmi]

not a touch on their early stuff... its quite dull... joan of arc forever xxxx

[bc7478bc2535]

sehr schönes lied.

[terinhos]

I'm in love with this song ... The most romantic & melodich I ever heard... Beautiful... Andy... Omd... Go go go... and do some more... Please ... Whole again

[sullyosul]

east 17 use a sample from that song?? around the world!!

[filthygorgeous1967]

Just checked that out and they do! Never noticed it back in 1994. Any other songs using OMD samples out there?

[plasticvideo]

the great thing about OMD is that they can single out a "moment" and put you in it with their music.

You are in the moment with OMD and nothing else matters at that time.

[cowboysarecool]

I completly agree with you. OMD is just an amazing band. I like how intelligent and pensive their songs and videos are.

[ottoskidoo]

This album got me through some tough times.

[salrang2002]

Great song. Sugar Tax was OMD's best album.

[cheeze25]

One of my favorite OMD songs ever... very meaningful during my college years

[Sunnywoman1968]

Fantastic song but an even more fantastic band.

Pure class.

OMD 4ever!!! :-p

[balloydspiritsoul]

Milli Vanilli's " Blame it on the Rain" have similar rhythm! Don't argue cause I'm a slave for life of OMD. It was when I first heard their best songs during my 2nd year High School and has submission to them! But just heard this song from a New Wave compiled pirated CD. But what the heck, what's important each such wonderful song gave memories and also meaning to this life 'O mine. Thanks mate!

[davesporty]

Tears for Fears took the bass line from simple mind's "on the waterfront" for "everybody wants to rule the world"

they all copy from each other,robbie williams in particular.

[turpsuk]

and your ponit is?

[davesporty]

when he sings"then you turn away" it sounds more like "blame it on the rain"

Shame on milli vanilli!

[terinhos]

This is not milli vanilli! These are OMD - without all the founder members but..The best and most consistent techno-pop band of ever... for those that apprecciate real music...

[1pseudo]

@ davesporty :

"talk about the weather" sang Andy on the 1st verse ;-)

[oktabero]

OMD is the best

[oktabero]

OMD

[davios26]

brought a tear to my eye...great stuff!!

[808LIMA]

EXCELENTE. Grandes recuerdos de 1992, cuando postulé a la Universidad y no ingresé. EVOCADOR.

[jbxlpe]

top song will be playing it in new car next week

[ronin19641]

great album brings back memories some good and some bad!!!!!!!

[OMD4ever]

tesla girls hmm i dont haw it hope somone have it

[westham]

this is probably the best record they made...and they did some superb stuff

[tutka21]

maroon 5 80s.OMD is super !!!

[djviolador]

Nunca compares a OMD con Maroon, no sabes lo que dices...

[aloha808]

I cannot believe how bad this song is. I love OMD and their early stuff but this is like listening to Celine Dion easy listening crap. Andy McCluskey, have you forgotten how to write catchy electronic pop tunes? Too bad!

[losangeleslifer]

Your wrong and dont really know the complexity of the group.

You have to explore ALL.

[aloha808]

losangeleslifer, YOU are wrong! What's so complex about this song? It sounds like Elton f***ing John! Enough said.

I like OMD a lot but it doesn't stop me from being critical when they release CRAP. Have you actually listened to the early OMD - when they were still musically relevant and influential?

[angelalewis25]

For me it's not crap. It has got great mood, I feel really relaxed while listening to it.

You can't attack another people because they like a song which you don't.

[aloha808]

angelalewis25, I'm not attacking other people - please don't overreact!

You like easy listening such as Nelly Furtado, so I'm not surprised you like this. This song is just about as sophisticated as Furtado's music.

[angelalewis25]

The difference between us is such, I like many kinds of music and not trying to be sophisticated. :) The song dosn't have to bee sophisticated at all to be good :)

[angelalewis25]

And second thing - you compare it to Elton John, whom I like as well but this style is something completely different. You trying to show off your great sense of music, but you cannot feel a difference between this song and songs of elton john? this one is much more near to view songs of roxette for example - it creats a special mood, is full of subtle emotions.

[RacerX929]

Aint nuttin wrong with Nelly Furty! Fly like a bird is good song.

Eh you a mahu or what? what's this aloha shit when ur a canuck? lmao.

this is a nice melodic song with a touch of melancholy which is OMD's trademark. If u only like dance shit, that's ur perogative. And it's ok if ur opinion is diff from mine.

And if u like lickin nutsacks, that's ok too as long as they aint mine.

[aloha808]

RacerX929 - what makes you think I give a fuck about your opinion??? Keep your dumb opinions to yourself & listen to whatever mindless shit you listen to, you asshole!

[wunderfool1973]

aloha808-this doesn't sound anything like elton john. a guru you are not, lol.

[Parthoris]

Sugar Tax and all the memories of it all all - brilliant !

[pauleyh]

Does anyone got the tesla girls music video???

[AdjaniFan5]

My favorite song from "Sugar Tax". I hope OMD will tour the U.S. next year as planned. They are certainly long overdue for the release of a comprehensive video/DVD collection.

[jorocio]

Where did find this video? I did even know they made a video for this song from "Sugar Tax" CD.

[flans44]

This was the 3rd single from the album. I got the video from a compilation laserdisc made for a laserdisc jukebox.

[jorocio]

Where can find this compilation DVD?

[flans44]

It wasn't a DVD, it was a laserdisc.
