  • I loved OMD, this song and If You Leave were such amazing songs. I so loved their sound! I so Miss music like this, but the 80's are gone, never to return!

  • the 80's best of the best!!!!!

  • love,love,love this song..... brings old memories!!! : )

  • It was great to have grown up in the 80's... this music brings such good memories.

  • When I hear this music, I realize how great the 80's were and how I miss the culture of the era.

  • OMD rocks!!

    

  • probaly one of the best underrated songs of all time.  fuck mtv.

  • I loved the 80s. Did anyone else listen to WLIR?

  • @gompth1966 Yes I did. Now I listen to it on Live 365 on line.

  • @2008ljr I never heard of this - I'll have to check it out. I used to "volunteer" at WLIR, working the "Dare-Line" on Wednesday nights. I would answer phones and count the votes with two buddies from high school. Lots of fun. Met chicks too - over the phone, and later in person. Good times. :)

  • truly a lost tresure of the 80's

  • you make me sad, you make you mad... my secret is love

  • This takes me back! I love OMD, OMG! HeHe. Are the couple on the beach Kelly MeGillis and John Cusak? Was this song in a movie? Anybody to comment?

  • my favorite, for Elizabeth.

  • I loved this song!

  • Aaahhh...sophomore year college, 1985, always listening to this on my *stereo* (LOL) and drinking Crystal Light (sometimes w/dirt-cheap vodka) in my decrepit student rental. Simple happiness. And it still delivers the goods today, 26 years later...(~.~)

  • I plan on becoming a history teacher at a high school one day and Im gonna show them this in class.

  • it's better to say everything while you can, secrets come back and bite you in the ass, i know

  • in  the bathroom dressing for my big date. (who would become my wife 20 + years )with my Paul mitchell hair jell, Ralph Lauren polo cologne, pink shirt with my collar turned up, parachute pants, about to drive off in my 1974 WV beetle. such memories.

  • @hoover321f hahaaha, I can dig it, had a VW Bug back in the day too and thought it was the greatest accomplishment to get a cassette tape player in it...wow...now I drive a Jetta and the cd player doesn't work.

  • 12 people just revealed their secret that they do not like this song. I think thats ashame, why couldnt they keep the thought to their selfs.

  • I agree with so many people that this song brings back the great music of the 80's. The years 1984-1989 were the greatest of my life, and this song brings me back there...

  • brings back so much memories from 80's......

    I missed the 80's.....

  • britishfirstandlast - You have a comrade in the US. I completely agree with you and couldn't have said it better. I remember wondering if the US had any bands back then. It seemed everyone singing on the radio was from England or Germany, at least the stations I listened to.

  • Blindingly excellent.

  • never heard this song.

  • lo mejor de la musica se hizo en los 80 estoy de acuerdo con todos es la culminacion de años llegando a la perfeccion musical, y no con la basura que hay hoy en dia que solo hay buena musica a cuentagotas

  • lo mejor de la musica se hizo en los 80 estoy de acuerdo con todos es la culminacion de años llegando a la perfecion musical, y no con la basura que hay hoy en dia que solo hay buena musica a cuentagotas

  • this song reminds me of the great times w/ my sis <3 love you kid!!!!(bmg)

  • This video was shot in Walton-on Naze in Essex. The house that I grew up in overlooked this beach and the band came into the pub opposite the pier when they finished filming.

  • just great.

  • funny this song and Dreaming still haven't been used in any movie soundtrack.

  • This reminds me of HIGH SCHOOL!!!!! LOVE OMD

  • Esa rola me recuerda a ti Pily, era el 86, éramos novios, yo 21 y tu 19. Magia pura era lo que sentía por ti, después de tantos años te recuerdo y me entra la nostalgia de aquellos días, fuiste lo más hermoso hasta entonces. ¿Por qué tuvimos que separanos?, esa pregunta tú sólo la puedes contestar por que fue tu decisión, lástima que no pudo ser otro el destino. Gracias, te amo.

  • muy buena rola de OM.D...

  • this was their first real hit in the usa peaking at # 63 on the billboard hot 100

  • is video filmed in Brighton?

  • @colleen7070 Iooks like Brighton to me :)

  • voice sounds a littlebit of pet shop boys, i think!

  • @HardstylerGER  true,, but it was produced by the same producer of the early pet shop boys songs

  • dolaloewt TJ!!!!

  • IT BRING BACK SO MUCH MEMORIES

  • WOW..... I JUST FELT A TEAR!!!!!!!

  • @suwymoon09 Actually you c**t, I go to college and get every friday off to find music and media pieces for my performing arts course. So technically, I'm NOT the one with time on my hands. Twat.

  • @Rach01Louise ha ha I dont care about your life you silly little girl

  • ....80's is the best decade of all time...''music .entertainment,sports,everythn­g on dis decade is great...d happiest decade of all time...l'm blessed i experienced d 80's....

  • einfach super !!!!

  • Where is the place of the begining? ( the little houses near by the sea)

  • Comment removed

  • Listening to such music on youtube is very healing. I realise I didn't dream the 80's-there really was an era when it was great to be young, when one fashion outrage followed another; when things felt new and different and an improvement on the music before.

    There was something for everyone in the 80's. We were spoilt for choice. OMD were not my favourite band, but miles better than anything today.

  • @britishfirstandlast i agree..for us..it was simpler times, just trying to get the cuff right on the jeans, lol

  • @britishfirstandlast -- GREAT point...it was a great time....

  • music is related with emotions, but big music is in relation with the creator s emotion and make´s me feel special.... son grandes artistas y eso es lo más increible, transmitir emociones a traves del sonido

  • @rcasellaos Yes! These songs touch my spirit and emotions. I feel more alive. Today's music just makes me feel detached from any higher emotions or feelings.

  • I love OMD, they have a unique sound

  • @BT3701 me to I love the sound of there music. It makes me have peace.

  • @BT3701 oddly enough this is OMD's most un-unique sounding song. Their other albums are very distinct. The album this came from was when they were trying to sound more new wavy.

  • was lucky to see them with Depeche Mode at the Rose Bowl at 101!

  • One of the best 80's bands.

  • Come to think of it they played this song at the end of my high school graduation on June 6,2009.

  • I have been looking for this song for months and i couldn't remember what it was called, thanks lol for posting it. Im gonna give this video a thumbs up.

  • Greatest Band of all time!

  • Greatest Band of all time!

  • How many hooks did they cram into this song? wonderful stuff.

  • how nine people choose to thumbs down this sond ...haha lol......pricks

  • They have a new album in october 2010 .

  • I must have now a timemashine..go back to the Year 1983 and "overlive" all the Years untill 1989..

    Please give me my girlfriend back time..I miss her..

    And the time i was so young and without these very bad problems that i have now.

    :-(

  • this inspired me to really take an interest in white girls lol..

  • That melody part starting at 1:12 (and even more at 2:50 with the female voice singing "secret" before it) is an absolute classic. Huge recall value there. 1980's pop music will live 4ever!

  • The secret is he's gay.

  • Comment removed

  • @Pepper6464 really? because he looks gay to me!!!!!

  • When was it, 1986, when I saw OMD and Depeche Mode in concert? Ah, those were the days.

  • oh YEAH !!!!!

  • i love you mark,,,,,just wished we had all this technology back then ,,,,25 years ,,,and im still here ,,,it must say something baby xxxx

  • just can say the same like you all do. this was the best time of my life. so much new things. new styles....computers....cool and crazy music.....and my first love. i would love to be back there. hmmm, my girlfriend can`t understand. she hates the 80`s.

    greetz to everyone who loves this time like me !!!! Neo :-)

  • Um, like the chyron on the video says, it's called "Secret", not "Secrets".

  • the best age! the best music! happy to be there!!! only who lived 80 can understand me!!!! thank post!!!

  • @TheCancio68 I know how you feel! I would give anything to be back in the 80s =)

  • Wow what a great song, i wish it was still the 80's rather than the 2000's when the new music coming out was actually good :/

  • Allways reminds me of my Austrian friend Sigried....it sounds like her name.

    Siiiiiiiiiiiigrid...where are you??

  • For me, whenever I hear this song I think of Edward Hopper paintings, particularly one called Summer Evening. So passionate, so melancholic, yet so beautiful.

  • @blindthief Why don't you look for her? That would be sooo romantic.

    Perhaps you can send her this son on Facebook if she is there...everyone is

  • I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL IN 1986.

  • JUST PURE NOSTALGIA

  • KROQ Pasadena Los Angeles would give this great tune a lot of airtime. Wonderful summers back in a more carefree time.

  • My TOP 10 as well.

  • This must have been big in America, because back home in the UK it was a very minor hit.

    So strange to see Paul sing for a change!

  • @Jarren202 yes, it was big in the US! My intro to OMD, lucky for me. Cheers -

  • @yourswiththestars Cool. A nice intro to a good band!

  • LOVE THIS SONG MINE AND MY DADS FAV OMD TRACK MISS U SOOO MUCH DA XXXX

  • 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..

  • a secret i shy to reveal.. i guess you better wait and see..  :>

  • My goodness I love this song !

  • I love every song which comes from Britain, I can't help§

  • trop trop bon..... mais ils sont où franchement????? ca manque des bonnes chansons comme ca...en tout cas merci a vous.....

  • Smudge ...its time..lets take this chance as its been given too us ....25 years darling .....its time .munchkin xxx

  • Was this video shot in Brighton?

  • Great!!

  • OMD never required a no.1 hit. They get a lot more airplay on the radi now with tracks like enola gay and souveneir than most bands do now that even had no 1's back then. What does that say about them?

  • AAaahhh!!!! I forgot about this goody! I played this cassette tape over & over! Lol!

  • sheer class. omd never had a number one hit, way ahead of their time, and bring back great memories for me. the most underrated band of all time.

  • This song is as difficult to get out of your head now as it was in 1985!

  • I relate .wish couldn't .

  • W 90'tych latach to była nasza ukochana muzyka,miałam 19 lat,nie było imprezy bez OMD!Póżniej okazało się,że to kicz,szmira,bez żadnych wartości muzycznych...być może,słucham dziś zupełnie innej muzyki,ale OMD zawsze będzie w moim sercu i mam wszystkie ich płyty...bo to część mnie,mojej młodości.

  • Back to the future? 1985 is the time to visit, not the time to leave. Everything was positive, upbeat, enthusiastic, even colorful. Now? Struggle, uncertainty and pessimism. If I knew then what I know now, I'd happily spend the rest of my life living the 80's over and over and over ...

  • @aboothunitedstates Well, yes, but it's all about knowing it now, isn't it? I remember being in a state of near certainty that we'd all eventually be vaporized by the madmen in power screaming at each other over theories of economic policy and human rights.

  • this song is a legend.....nothing beats the classics :) wish it was still the 80's

  • this has always been one of my favorite songs of all time.

  • 1 of the greatest songs ever...still an absolute joy to listen to

  • Going sleep with an unforgettable song!

  • I just love the unique sound of OMD, alot of thought went into their songs and weren't their videos fab?! This band is by far the best of the 1980s groups in my opinion. Thanks to TV shows like Ashes to Ashes for helping bring back 1980s nostalgia. Fantastic!

  • i like their songs and the synthesizers

    :-)

  • 80's rule!

  • The greatest music was from this period. The transition from analog to digital music.

  • Obra maestra

  • All this time I've been wondering who sang this obscure song..

  • Comment removed

  • @CollectorOfMusic I like OMD but this song is shit, whit about enola gay?

  • @suwymoon09 you are so pathetic to call this song shit, life must be miserable for you, well anyway, the world will always have creatures like you, thank god i dont have your outlook in life, do you have one?

  • @motdavid yes, don't spunk your life away listening to shite songs, is this your mid-life crisis? cunt

  • @suwymoon09 You're 10 years older than me and you're acting 10 years younger. FYI if you think a song is "shit" don't watch it and don't bother commenting on it, end of.

    I listen to every 80's song going and they're all better than the crap we have in this day and age. They're so fresh and make people happy, then some ugly moron like you comes along and ruins it for us all.

    Get a life and a job, and stop scouring youtube like a jobless bum.

  • @Rach01Louise actually I quite like OMD so I was looking for more songs found this and gave my opinion.FYI you had too scroll quite far to see my comment so I think its you with time on your hands ya stupid bitch

  • Comment removed

  • @suwymoon09

    You tell the silly bitch like it is, babe. She's been mouthing off in Kylie's "Get Outta My Way" page. She's riddled with assumptions and floods the pages with silly remarks when people say things she doesn't like. The more I see of her, the more I think she's a lying sack of shit about the supposed "A's" she apparently achieved at school.

    I'm sick of seeing: "Don't watch it if you don't like it", How are we to know we will or won't like it if we don't watch it? - silly cunt!

  • @Slagheep thank you, someone sensible for once

  • absolute gem of a song.pure pop genius!!!

  • I love the futurist sound..I write and read and play keyboard....striving to make good dystopian sounds as omd, jd, the cure, echo and bunnyment made. !!!! Best music I will go to my grave loving

  • such a beautiful song and video....I love these guys.......sigh..the 80s....

  • I adore this song...god the memories.....retro 80s.....sigh

  • It pulls on me greatfully...

    Saludos Loreto-Peru

  • Is ain't unforgettable song but it worth while listening once again in spice of everything happens.

    Saludos Loreto-Peru

  • MULLET!!!

  • 80's rocks!!!

  • My dad had this on 45 and I would listen to it over and over. How many people even remember how singles were released back then and those stupid yellow things you put in the center and buying and changing record needles!

  • SHOUT!!

  • que de bon souvenir avec OMD et les groupes Anglais années 80

  • Ah yes, the late 80s when I was still in a band as a bassist and vocal. Used to play songs from Duran Duran, OMD, Tears For Fears, etc missed the days....

  • Not listened to this song in a couple of years but never remember it ever being this good. Thats the genius of this band. So many incredible songs in their back catalogue. As a 25 year old it may not do much for my credibility to love this band but I don't give a f###! Its the ignorant out there who buy whatever Simon Cowell and the like tell them to that are missing out not me!

  • well put m8:)

  • @willhewiz

    Fuckin' A!

  • love it...

  • I could listen to this song for about 12 hours a day for 17 years

  • its not secrets(s) its secret. I've got a secret...

  • love it.

  • This song makes me exploting of happiness very good son OMD,i remenber the secundary age buddy don't you...

    Saludos Loreto-Peru

  • Vďaka Bohu za O.M.D:

  • there are um rock music responces to World War II and and to Vietman, I just clicked on that. And I am stipid there. I was born in 1958, with Buddy Holly dying. My cat just cried. Meow. I am think of Steppenwolf. The Pusher.

  • Amen is right. I miss Elizabeth.

  • I am enjoying the 80s avant garde mullet combination pompadour style. At the moment Im regrowing mine right now. It should be in full effect halway this January. Im gonna put some blue and grey streaks in it.

  • got plans of taking over the world? because that's diffidently taking over the world hair.

  • I was 15 when I found out about OMD and girls at the same time... this band will always be special to me... so many times listening to OMD while at the same time discovering the naked girl I had with me while listening! God bless OMD!

  • AMEN!!!!

  • tu que entiendes de esta cancion?? como interpretas este tema, para ti de que trata el video?? saludos...

  • se trata de cuando uno no tiene un amor pero lo añora mucho hasta que finalmente lo consigue. siempre sigue tu corazón que te guiará sabiamente hacia la felicidad!

  • gracias por la respuesta, tienes mucha razon, paso por lo mismo que pasa el tipo en el video no tengo mucho tiempo para ver a la chica que me gusta y a veces pienso que pueda andar con otro tipo, en el fondo se que ella me aprecia mucho y no seria capaz de cambiarme, voy a luchar mucho por ese amor, buen video, orale!!!

  • 80s were great. especially since I was so young! in 1987, i was 21..whole life ahead! this music brings back so many memories..but I would only go back ito the 80s if I could take my husband with me!
