[Gothiczartan]

Such a beautiful song.

[tolekbanan102]

love, milosc...

[87prospect]

this song was way too deep and profound for a teenager like myself in the early 80's. but now 25 plus years later, it makes sense :) OMD , I understand, God, I MISS THE 80'S!!!!!!!!!!

[livier7777]

Just love this song!!!

[armidamorris1]

One of my favorite OMD songs :)

[cocoalump]

OMD at The 9:30 Club Wash, DC 1980

[sasicmirko]

OMDs music FOREVER !!

[lismclis51]

These guys were one of my favorite bands in the early 80's. I saw them 3 times back then, one memorable performance at the old Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Too me and I hope most others, their music is timeless.

[Eddieshack67]

they're still touring and together? saw them 3 times, last timewould have been around 1984.

[strakersrevenge]

seeing them tonight



[zilam98]

i might just get to see them soon too! like next month! ;)

[sekmethluxuria]

[nathanielrcullen]

One of the saddest songs of the era. Masterpiece

[anomalek]

I'm astonished that this incredible masterpiece doesn't have a better preserve dvideo cut floating around somewhere.

[ocribby]

sound quality is bad on parts of this video...love this song though

[BIGINSF]

Been a fan of OMD for 30yrs. I'm 43. Finally getting to see them 3/26/11 Oakland CA USA. Absolutely love this song.

[Alejandroenfuego]

[sutil1976]

Beautiful music and song!

[tomyyboyy]

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

[MrWishiwas18again]

Quillian100 Music is my happy place too sometimes. Born in1962, and I sit in front of You tube many nights, before calling it a day, and remember my life before I made it so bloody complicated chasing all the things everybody else wanted thinking that was what I wanted too. I would be much happier trudging through the snow on a silent winters day.

[MrGoonerforlife]

@MrWishiwas18again- Amen Brother !!!

[vicentmh]

[cazande]

oooh the memories!!

[Jolie028]

so beautiful!

[telmocarmo]

beautiul

[quillian100]

Ok, I am serious here.I was a live-in chef in a hotel in the Scottish borders in the late 70's and on 6am start.I walked out of the male accomadation block with Souviner playing on my walkman and into 6" of unexpected snow.

Everything was silent,the trees were hanging with snow,my nose was stinging from the cold and some dopey deer had got herself lost and was standing 6' away from me looking like she couldn't care less.

Whenever life gets tough that's my happy place.

[Jbsmit19]

@quillian100 Truly beautiful sharing, I envy you... sounds like a time and place that I really wish I had been there

[antirealitydive]

@quillian100 that's great. I know that place.

[sadalite]

@quillian100 they had Walkmans in the 70's? Not doubting, I just did not realize that. Nice story, thx for sharing it ;-)

[tsunchoo]

@sadalite 70's? - Released August 4, 1981

[yakirush2345]

this is A song

[anthonythatsme100]

a true classic

[robert0414]

Excellent!



[JudiTheWitch]

Even though OMD were decidedly 80's, they definitely had a distinct sound. Excellent song, excellent band.

[Feamelwen]

@JudiTheWitch Yeah, that's one hell of an intelligent synth-pop band. That wasn't too common. 

[lukske4]

Prachtig liedje van de prachtige jaren 80.

Als ik kon ik keerde er terug naar toe om nooit meer terug te komen.

[theninjas39]

makes me feel all emotional !  What a song.

[DavidofCali]

Love Paul's voice..he sang lead so little......

[WarrenCromartie2]

Blimey they look about 12 in this vid! Great song, their best imo.

The early days of pop videos...a rambling piece of film with no real point to it! Great song though :)

[vuperin]

Micsoda verda, és milyen jó kis zene volt ez anno!

[TwangAddicted]

in memory of Ian Curtis....

[wolfkido]

perfect music :D

[roman6545]

volim ja ovaj O.M.D. , volim...

[Andycap68]

Trying to pick your top OMD songs is like trying to choose your fav. food or porn star !! Too many good ones - I'll give it some thought !

[gpzjock]

@Andycap68

Dazzleships,

Fillet Steak,

Aria Giovanni.

Now ask me a hard one ;)

[AndrewHurley69]

Paul Humphreys is singing this song. Usually Andy McCloskey (the guy driving the car) does all the singing. When sung Live Paul, takes a break from the keyboard and takes centre stage!

Does anyone know where this video is filmed. I have a feeling it's Tatton Park, near Knutsford, Cheshire but I can't be sure.

[Andycap68]

@AndrewHurley69 Paul is singing this one as I think he wrote it ? As for the video - it looks a bit like Tatton Park but it was filmed in Stowe Gardens near Buckingham. He's singing on the beautiful palladian bridge on the lake. It's on 'G.street maps' if you want to pay a visit !

[AndrewHurley69]

@Andycap68

Thanks Andy, I've been wondering for years where this was filmed.  Thanks for finally putting me out of my misery!

[CroArtVandelay]

First time I've heard of OMD 1989,in the army,colleague had a tape,I love them ever since..............

[29jeffk]

looks like 53 people haven't got any souvenirs!

[PauleQueenie]

And the garderner over takes at 200 mph on his lawn mower making sure the lawn has had the last trim of the day. Did anybody see the lawn mower pass? oh well he was so fast

[Superpuwme]

No Gaga. They were better times for music.

[johnmcluskey]

Went to see OMD perform for the first time in Glasgow on Tuesday night and they were fantastic. It was a very intmiate gig and fantastic atmosphere. Andy McCluskey also has great energy on stage for a guy in his 50's. At the end of the show he said it was great to see a mix of young and old going to the gigs. Still going strong after 30 years..

[artistMarcus]

is this Andy McCluskey singing?

[Twilight1964]

@artistMarcus no its Paul Humphries

[metramil]

furiosos!

[jonnybreakfast]

listen to my version of the influence with OMD please : ) thankyou

watch?v=t6whPBF8n7c

[juanmiahu]

Y yo, la gente que diga lo que quiera ,pero era una gozada los grupos y canciones de esa decada, si me hubiera pillado con 10 años mas entonces ,me hubiera dejado las nóminas en conciertos. Y ESTE GRUPO.JODER QUE CANTIDAD DE TEMAZOS!!

[680119]

@juanmiahu para tu regocijo, te he de decir que estos fueron los temas de mi juventud y de mis mas fieles amigas...Puta madre, no se puede decir más.....

[juanmiahu]

no puedo remediarlo, se me saltan las lágrimas sin que pueda hacer nada

[fernandodms]

@juanmiahu

Me pasa exactamente lo mismo. Cómo echo de menos aquellos años...

[fernandodms]

¿Por qué ya nadie hace hoy día música tan buena como esta? Una lástima

[eudy92]

@smileacid tas tonto?

[elton1981]

I love the authentic 1980s tracking problem

[eshegheman]

This song is very special to me in a way that no one else knows :)

[mungiman22]

A song that along my little lifes way, helps to define who I am today. It only adds a chapter or so but please know this, to my heart I will hold close that one special kiss.

[KleenezeDon]

Stowe I don't think so.

[lemmi1968]

Perfect Pop. No more Words to say.

[Bradaighbunch]

souvenir has to be on everyone's list. so romantic. dreamy. I mean, i really want to sit in that car with the cool wind, leaves, spots of shade, everything going by. great video. i can't separate the song from it.

[koryflower]

How beautiful :D

[stardustdave85]

such a beautifully crafted piece of music

[XRodge]

Found links to this and "Secret" recently - never heard them back in the day. Both are absolute classics, two of the best tunes from the 80s. Thanks for posting!

[sluchaczkawka]

[berlinmitte10117]

Whichever ones we like best individually, OMD are simply class!

[IMPERIALSTORMTROOPER]

the tracking needs adjusted here...............

[SultanChase]

Dude looks mentally handicapped when he's singing. Also, I've always thought that it sounds like a girl.

Excellent song though.

[fuckamericanidiot]

@SultanChase he does look very awkward in the video

[belgiumSteve]

This is one of my VERY few 80's songs which i play frequently-i NEVER get tired of this song!!!

Mesmerizing and hypnotic song. One of OMD's finest!

[TwangAddicted]

in memory of Ian...

[kathyshahla]

j'adore!!!

[katoness]

I have never seen this video before. I always thought that a woman sang this. How surprised was I to see it is a geezer.

[dehz1975]

@katoness Ya me too..I didn't know it was about 2 dudes! Still love the song and will take im own thoughts on that jam!

[MrSleepflower]

so in love one of the best tracks

[iwona31]

W latach 80 byli jedną z najlepszych zespołów.

Ich muzyka była wyrafinowana. Żałuję że dziś nie ma takich kapel.

[pajaroloqo]

... possibly the best band in the 80's?

They ARE the BEST band of the 80's!!!! ;)

[TwangAddicted]

@pajaroloqo

no it's Joy Division, for sure!!

[njtech2005]

What a beauty! Thanks OMD love your tunes

[warminator]

This never gets old.

[delta0921]

A classic and timeless 80's song. Moby made a pretty good cover back in the 90's.

[usuarioyoutification]

It`s a good song, but . . . are they gays?

[warminator]

@usuarioyoutification , no they`re not gay. And even if they were, what difference would it make?

[gavinlh5767]

@usuarioyoutification Yes, but only in their song Enola Gay........

[Pepper6464]

So the bloke in black was waiting for his boyfriend to pick him up in his red convertible?

[earlyperla]

LOVE THIS SONG !!!!

[earlyperla]

I love this song ....reminds me of when I was a little girl loving that sound of the 80´s

[transfoby]

It's my direction It's my proposal It's so hard It's leading me astray My obsession It's my creation You'll understand It's not important now My situation Its imagination There's no excuse It's instantly a game The conversation The combination I tell the truth My feelings still remain All I need is Co-ordination I can't imagine My destination My intention Ask my opinion But no excuse My feelings still remain My feelings still remain

[transfoby]

my favourite song of all times...eighties were so damn romantic and elegant, and innocent

[PimpOfDaRear]

Fantastic advert for the VW Karmann Ghia - shame about the song though.

[meadowroadsaint1]

@PimpOfDaRear

That would be the rear that you are talking out of obviously!!!!

[johntw1000]

When I was a teenager back in the 80's I thought this pop music was the gayest shit in the world. Now look at me, missing this shit. Fuck I miss the 80's!

[leaetanne]

j'adore



[transfoby]

@leaetanne Je t'adore :)

[thewebmogul]

I wish they bring these type of music back in radio and in MTV. what we have are boring and junk music like Justin Bieber lady gaga and other stupid rap music. what a total joke to listen too.

[21hotbunny1]

wish i was back in the 80's!!!!!!

[TheDamodamo]

Love this tune!

[Hatenbom]

i'm 18 again and my stomach churning from being in love, 45 now but its seems like last week the feelings are so unforgetable, how is music so powerful to do this...

[sastal]

@Hatenbom Don't know, but thank God it is...

[jared1971]

@twainname I totally agree. You can't watch this now and not think it looks a little odd as it suggests something more than pals going on between them. Its a shame they can't remaster all of this and put a stereo soundtrack on it to replace the distorted mono one with the wow and flutter. Then again maybe perhaps that dates it and is part of the innocence and poetic licence this should be granted and we are being a little harsh. My favourite OMD track ever. Very poignant.

[ROST71]

1989 Memories of Malibu California this is such a great song and a great memory from that time.........dedicated to "Roxanna" 

[taetoy]

Musically talented is an understatement, they were brilliant, please come back O.M.D. we need you.................

[MrBigbertie]

hot summer, driving, window down, hot chick on the passenger seat. thats how i remember this one. magic

[RATM4LYFE]

Scousers! Yay.

[MrJessie1964]

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
