I was 23, all my mates were courting and I had broken up with my boyfriend so started working behind a bar to get myself out, while working I met my partner of 27 years -this takes me back to when I met him ❤❤ he passed away in 2008 beautiful memories....very special song for me ❤
And bless your man ....I was in military 🪖 boarding school when fabulous OMD had this ...I was scared and played it in the beautiful gothic hall of apley park ..my wonderful doctor mummy picked me up every weekend to go home 🏡 my stunning mummy Mary passed at home 🏚️ from covid feb last year ..and she rose up on her bed and smiled and said "I'm here ❤love so much more than anything..I am autistic .and my mummy was always so kind to me 🌅🌻💕
40 years old now , where does the years go . I have so many happy memories of this song and of 1981 . I shared a house in Pagham West Sussex and a lady I shared with called Sue loved his song and it was played over and over again . I miss those days and have sadly been unable to contact her or Sue Land from those days either
One of the first singles I ever bought and played it to death- I was young and couldn’t quite work out why I loved it so much. Listen to it rarely now but whenever I hear it, it works its magic all over again.
Love this. Reminds me so much of the time I first heard this song. It used to make me feel sad. Sometimes back then I would cry when I heard it. It was an emotional song with sad undertones from the music. Love it now.

@@vornachname8064 Dude you're hitting on her ? It's a sad story, really not the time.......
One of the greatest songs ever in the pantheon of british pop music! What a band!
There's no words to Say how beautiful is this masterpiece
Likewise
someone commented elsewhere on this song: too beautiful it hurts. I agree :) what a great song
music never really got much better than this - let's be honest !
It's so oddly fey.

OMD wrote the best synth hooks of that era. The main riffs in "Souvenir", "Maid of Orleans" and "Enola Gay" are pure hypnosis. Weird, wonderful band.
So did the cure and Bowie
Could not agree more
Dazzle ships and all that was a downturn Imho. the earliest stuff was a lot better
So glad I got to be a teenager in the 80s
Same.
My song of 81, ah the memories
This is a class tune from beginning to end. Iconic.

Beautiful song! ❤️ OMD one of the best ever!🔥 The good old days with real music!
Utterly timeless. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for listening.
One of my favorite 80's classic new wave/Synth pop hits..
Souvenirs ❤ d'une douce et merveilleuse époque...malheureusement disparue😔
Excellent!
Was growing up in the early 80s but vaguely remember this tune.
Nice very😍😊💗💗💗🌹
Respect 1980s
Sheer class. ❤

Class from OMD
Grade 2 that time. In my head always.
OMD THE BEST SOUVENIR FOREVER
Well done. Perfect sync.
Such a sad song,gets me every time 😢
One of my favorite bands during new wave era..
It wasn't new wave.New wave bordered punk.This was more new romantic.
Music to dream to
I never would have guessed there was a xylophone in there. Great song.
I was born in 91 so I’m a 90s baby but my parents played new wave music growing up. I love this song
Great 👍 👌 👍

Memory 1980 1981
Some of olivers invites have gone astray
Arthur Layton, just shoot me and send me back to 1981...NOW...!
who is playing the xilofono?
And then came dazzle ships lol.
WTF ! why can't keep his head still , was there a wasps nest on the stage ?
Paul wasn’t the singer but the main keyboard player. He was nervous and not sure how to perform
He still does that head movement now.
It's called music and you dance to music.
@@jjjalistair6880 yeah, just with your head ? lmfao
❤ I love you Paul ....my feelings still remain 💗🎉❤
