Alison Moyet has a wonderful voice. She and Vince clarke wrote some of the most magnificent songs of the early 80's, Don't go, Only You and Knowbodys Diary are but a few.....ODE TO BOY was an album track in England, Possibly a B side, as far as I know. Just imagine an artist today letting ODE TO BOY linger on an album.......

This song is very special to me. My partner and I made love for the first time to this.....26 years ago next month! We're closer than ever. Sorry if this is TMI, but it's not like I'm ever going to see you! ;-)

This is a classic chooon from Yazoo, when it was released i think it was on the b side of the other side of love, it so should have been released in its own right......and yes i am an old fart, an old fart who thinks that good music is timeless, and doesnt care who knows it ..

I love this timeless song. Such a delcaration of love.

Most touching haunting beautiful song I ever heard. So beautiful it hurts! No I'm not gay. ODE TO BOY
-
Beautiful video definitely worthy of Yazoo and more

great! I couldn't remember the title and have been looking for this song for ever This kind of great song still sounds contemporary but for those of us around when it came out it's also comfortingly nostalgic...the lyrics are simple but so poetic and the mood of the rythm is perfect for how the concept of the song feels viscerally ugh such a great song THANK YOU for the upload and presentation :D



In his face age descends on youth, exaggeration on the truth
He caught me looking then but soon his eyes forgot
And everything he seems to do reflects just another shade of blue
I saw him searching into you and ached a while
I watch his lips caress the glass,
His fingers stroke its stem and pass
To lift a cigarette at last, he dries his eyes
From a shadow by the stair
I watch as he weeps unaware
That I'm in awe of his despair
