  • Love the song, and the video is great too. Thanks for sharing!

  • omd were good in 90,s too.

  • Is that a dinosaur in the background at 0:50? And also, the guy on the stage at 3:12 looks rather like Denholm Elliot (althought it couldn't be).

  • I'm pretty sure that's Shell Stanlow refinery in the background...... they're from that neck of the woods........

  • Honestly, I'm a little confused by the video, but the music is awesome.

  • This is when OMD was losing their trademark sound. They got it back on History Of Modern. Took 15 years but worth it!

  • Heard this song on last.fm it's a good song.

  • Who is the hot redhead/brunette background singer in the video?

  • @AhaBach4Life Her name is Hannah Clive.

  • *song

  • Lol German or English?

    Okay both:

    Well, I think it's a great song.

    Nunja, ich denke es ist ein großartiger.

    I love this video it's the best music video I've ever seen, only amazing.

    Ich liebe dieses Video, es ist das beste Musik-Video das ich je gesehen habe, es ist einfach einmalig. <3

  • somebody has outgrown his spaceship there...

  • @Crazyholger da gebe ich dir 100%

    greetz

  • Der neue Song schließt sich nahtlos an. Wer kann so etwas von sich sagen, nach fast 20 jahren. Perfekt gesungen, ausarrangiert, eine Melodie zum träumen. Das hat doch in den letzten 10 jahren keiner hinbekommen.

  • we like this are the group who is singing bautifull. this year in belguim at 22-11-2010 in brussel come and wath and lissen

  • da quanti anni non la sentivo...

    quanto è bella

  • I had forgotten what a wonderful song this is!

  • das ausergewöhnliche bei omd ist das sie live besser klingen als auf CD bei anderen bands ist das anderesrum also omd hats drauf

  • Going to see them live, this evening. Can't wait!!! :-)

  • a very underrated song.

  • @bbbbb1010

    Ich bin auch durchs TV auf omd gestoßen, sau gei!

    Man sagt ja: für dumme leute ist fernsehn schlecht, für schlau gut^^

  • There goes the Geico at 0:50

  • Sagt mal, lest Ihr auch die Kommentare, die davor gelaufen sind? Habe nur einen deutschen Teilnehmer im Chat verteidigt. Weiß sehr wohl wie deutsch gesprochen und geschrieben wird. Bei meinem Abschluss würde sich mancher von euch schämen. Aber darum geht es hier nicht. Wenn ich deutsch schreiben möchte,dann tue ich dieses. Warum sollte ich mich dafür schämen. Wenn ich wollte, tue ich das auf englisch, aber auch russisch oder spanisch!!! LG

  • H doppel M E R Hammer Yeah !! Das Lied is so bombe^^

  • Well andcovon......this is the internet.....I do know to write German English and so on in capital letters. but as I do now....I write do not write in capitals letters....why? because it's the internet....Even you should have had some chat once in a while. So stop being so aggressive. I am no native speaker....so what? But English is the world language. That is something even you can't deny. I'm totally aware of what I'm saying or writing. And thats that.

  • @bbbbb1010

    dito!

  • Super Lied!

    Kommt es mir nur so vor oder sieht der Sänger von weiter weg betrachtet aus wie Michael Wendler? Schrecklicher Vergleich, aber es fiel mir auf!

  • Wusst gar nicht das "der Wendler" ma bei OMD war. :D

  • the bad part of the song begins 4:48

  • I can just agree with my previous speakers to learn speak or even write english. It is indeed the world language. I'm german too, even though I study english, I think every person with little intellect should know the basics. Also Youtube is a site which is visited by many different cultures, so try to be more tolerant Pauline. Hope you understand what I write here, if not so...go ahead and learn it. And by the way...try to avoid denglish sentences at that extent...it makes you ridiculous

  • @MoonlightAgony,

    shame on you! Do not be a top banana, Who gave you the right to judge anybody for knowing the foreign languages! You claim "you study" English... bullshit ! Even the kindergarten babies use the capitals writing English, German, Polish and so on. You're must have studied the stars on the Cognac's bottle, I'd rather say. Next time you'd better be quiet and just think about you're about to say...

  • @Knasti89 gib dir vollkommen recht. Englisch ist die Weltsprache. Wer das nicht kann oder versucht es zu sprechen wie Pauline hat auf internationalen Webseiten nichts zu suchen. That's a really good song. Brilliant!

  • Ich liebe diesen Song, mochte ich schon als Kind auch wenn ich jetzt erst begreife wovon er singt. Ich finde seine Stimme so besonders und eindringlich.

  • I love this song. ..one of OMD's best!

  • Voll "agro" hoch 10 ihr english persons!!! We talken wie wir es wollen, ob english oder german ist unsere Sache. Versucht ihr mal german zu speaken!!!

  • @MegaPauline71 oh gott... manchmal ist es so peinlich Deutscher zu sein... -.-

  • @MegaPauline71

    westerwelle die 2. xD

    also endweder deutsch oder englisch und nich so ne dumme mischung 

  • Comment removed

  • @MegaPauline71

    ich vermute mal das dass absicht war oder..?..mehr als ironie.

    andsers könnte ich mir das in deinem "alter" nicht vorstellen!

    lg

  • @lastpunkedstanding

    Warst der Einzige, der es gecheckt hat. Leider!!! Meld dich mal wieder! LG

  • @bbbbb1010 genau wie ich ich wußte auch nicht das der song von denen ist

  • eins der wenigsten Musikvideos die mich noch beeindrucken <3

  • A classic these were very underestimated in there time, they were truly brilliant.....

  • Superschöne letzte OMD Single: Anfang mit Kirchenorgel, weiche Streicherarrangements, eine ergreifende Melodie und die Stimme von Andy Mc Cluskey passen einfach super zusammen. Textlich könnte der Song fast autobiografisch sein: McCluskey erzählt vom Enthusiamus junger Leute, der hohe Aufstieg im Musik-Showbusiness und anschliessende Rückgang des Erfolgs im Leben einer Band. Immer wieder und wieder hörenswert.

  • I still like it!

  • ist schon n geiler Song, obwohl der neue "If you want it" auch n Kracher ist

  • @bbbbb1010 doch ist von OMD ;)

  • @bbbbb1010 haha ich auch:D

  • yeah yeah yeah yeah

  • WOW IM A TEEN AGAIN LOL LOVED THIS TUNE IN 1996

  • I wish that I was the singer in this band.

  • awesome

  • Das lied fand ich schon immer einfach nur klasse :)

  • the best part is from 0:00 - 4:48 !

  • andy you are unpresidently the best singer from the late 70s right up to today. your choice of lyrics and melodies are second to none and i just love it. sugar tax was by far the best album you did ...released in 1991. excellento

  • Was ein geiler Song !

  • I like this Video!!!

  • the gorl in the background can sing too^^

  • this song is as "across the universe..."

  • OMD=TOP

  • This song reminds me of a song I heard years ago.

    I can't remember what it was called it went like this "you're living in a dream world (you gotta get away)"

    anyone know the name of it?

  • @INGRAM0009 Sounds like "Dream Time" by Daryl Hall.

  • Nádherná písnička,miluji ji už pár let a jen zřídka se hraje.

  • Got there greatest hits DVD, just one fantastic work or art after another both visually and sonically!

  • hey hey heyyey...this is so cool!

  • wow this brings back some old shit to mind

  • ....... but just remember who U are n where you've come so far n never let them see U fall.

  • great lyrics indeed!! awesome! love it! irreplacable 80s music! nothing like this nowadays.. unfortunately

  • @sevensky81 Its not 80's. It came out in 1996

  • "...But just remember who you are

    And where you've been you've come so far

    And never ever let them see you fall..."

    I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!!!!!

  • andy never gets old

  • one of my favourite songs..:)

  • I love the line "I don't think that anything can recreate youth".

  • i like the lads at 3:13 :D

  • I just want to sing my head off!! love OMD

  • ahh yes, the videos from back in the 90ies lol

  • still reaching, always reaching

  • actually im not listening to music like omd... but this song really gives me creeps!

  • Love this song.. Late 90's was the best.. brings back childhood memories

  • Just amazing

  • Great song

  • brings back memories of me childhood - when life wasn't as complicated as when one is an adult. ta for upload !

  • like it

  • This song and video should be on some hall of fame... It is just that good!

    By the way, watch some wrapper come out with a version some day...!

    A La Forever Young, or New York, New York...

  • seventeen!

  • IMHO one of their best songs (along with Pandora's Box) Been a fan of OMD since I heard the "Crush" album in my brothers Gold Ford Escort way back in the 80's. Seen them numerous times in concert, most recently supporting Simple Minds and they were as good as ever. Looking forward to the new studio album due out later this year, "The History of Modern"

  • I love how not a single second of the video makes any sense. That's OMD, last of the great new wave bands

    amazing song

  • bueutiful song

  • FUCKING AWESOME SONG

    i remember this from my teenage years

  • Great song.

    I discovered it a few days ago, and since then I can't help listening to it.

  • nice song and video. Dinosaur rock; great last thrashings.

  • timeless. good style. 8ies feeling without silly clothes.

  • 3:26 - How many times have I tried to replicate that manoeuvre?!!! I have an umbrella like that in the boot of my car - every time I put shopping in the boot I just can't help myself!!!! (The girl at 4:00 is absolutely stunning)

  • I love this song so much it's so brilliant & relaxing.

  • reminds me of a special time i think i was 18 or 19 and my girlfreind at the time used to play this song over and over in my car lol funny how a song reminds you of some one ........

  • @butchoscar

    Also takes me back to a great time in my life, the magical summer of 96, we never had it so good.

  • Sounds so much like Simon Lebon of duran duran

  • OMD siempre ha manetenido estandares altos como band importante en la musica. Nunca han bajado la calidad de su musica y esta es una muestra

  • Three letters sum this up... WOW.

  • canny wack it

  • piękny kawałek

  • great song :-)

  • was soll man sagen ? einfach nur Hammer geil !!!!!!!!!

  • great song...

  • SOOOOOOO SCHÖN

  • Awesome.

    Nothing more to say...

  • This song makes me cry....

  • War ja klar^^... Tut ja jeder.... Naja, egal.... das Lied ist voll cool!/

    The song is wicked!!! oder so.....

  • Habe mich schon persönlich mit ihm unterhalten und er ist ein gaaaanz Lieber! War ja klar!

  • Wow. I'd completely forgotten about this. You've got to love the internet.

    Why do I find her lanky bones so attractive by the way?

  • New wave girls are meant to be lanky.

  • does anybody know who that lady is ??? love her voice but can't seem to find out who she is???

  • The name of the female vocalist is Hannah Clive. She does have a great voice. The girl in the video isn't Hannah, just an actress. You can find out more about Hannah on her Myspace page.

  • Youtube isn't letting me post the link for some reason.

  • The girl in the video is very pretty! You're right - Hannah Clive does have a great voice. Must check out that myspace page.

  • Found it! :D

  • geiler song!

  • i love the dinosaur running.....Orchestral Manuveurs in the Dark are the best, most original band....I love thier music

  • ...is this were the melody of my chemical romance's welcome to black parade came from?:D

  • yes

  • no comment... just one: WONDERFUL SONG!!!!!

  • I can't understand how someone can make such melody as this. It's just... I have no words... more than great! ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SONG <3<3

  • Half way through buying their entire catalogue...cant get enough...amazing driving music...Strangely enough, the first song on their first cd may be their best! all brilliant though

  • THIS GUY CAN SING!!

  • I didnt think it would work but it did! you can pull youtube vids as mp4s for free on that site mp4ify just search on any search engine for mp4ify

  • who is that woman?? shes a total babe

  • first song i heard when i knew i was growing up, age 11.

  • Can anyone else hear all the young dude by mott the hoople in here??

  • Einer der schönsten Songs von Omd :)

  • Luv the camp old couple, genius!!!!

  • First single I bought - 99p cassette from John Menzies, age 14. Brilliant song.

  • OMD performed this song in Aberdeen (AECC) backing band for simple minds (12/12/09) And were outstanding. this sing brings back the memories.

  • I WAS THERE!! Aberdeen with Simple Minds. Both bands were amazing. OMD were brilliant and Simple Minds were great too - great night!

  • imho it's the best part:

    ..but just remember who you are

    and where you've been you've come so far

    and never ever let them see you fall...

  • This is a great song, not sure about the hey-heys though. Its about getting old and losing your dreams but I don't think its from the view of an older person. Being older is great because you can be completely happy with who you are and reconciled with what the world has done to you.

    I always have a soft spot for a bright happy sounding pop song with a sad meaning.

  • В 1990-91 году я случайно записал на пленку одну песню.

    В 2006г. я услышал ее по радио. Кто исполнитель

    не расслышал.

    В этом году (2009) я по словам в припеве безуспешно

    пытался найти ее в поисковых системах интернета.

    И 10 минут назад (О, чудо!) увидел этот клип по спутниковому ТВ.

  • zespol mojej mlodosci i zawsze z ogromna przyjemnoscia go slucham

  • klip nic moc, ale písen good

  • not sure what u said, i agree tho. sounds like u have taste

  • Comment removed

  • klip je taky super

  • To rozhodně.

  • Great song

  • Que c'est bon!

    Que de bonheur à savourer

  • Classic,need i say more
