    and I used to watch it together on a black-and-white television on the island
    of Sardinia. Though I knew it was OMD, all I remembered was a car driving
    throughout the clip. I finally found it. My father is now old. My grandmother and all my immediate family
    is now gone. All I have is this song and the few others we used to share
    together. “My feelings still remain…” along with an eternal void. This song captures it well.

    In the ’80s summers were endless. Time didn’t exist. Friends were the most important things, not iPhones. The girls were wonderful. The parties were awesome. Life had some optimistic aura. Love was felt so deep, everyone had time for me, we had everything we need to be happy, every kiss was larger than anything today, every dream was to come true, we were so imperfect but that made us just perfect, everything we felt was pure and deep, everything we were doing was innocent. And all those faces of my friend with those smiles....priceless. Clubs were awesome, music cut deeper into our hearts than anything today. We were innocent creatures who just wanted to give love, to be loved, to have good friends, and a lot of fun with them. Some of them are not with us anymore. I am sure that they waiting for me somewhere up there......and I am sure that when we meet again that we will be 17 again and that we will smile again, dance again, play guitar, that we will tell old stories again....ohh often I can't wait. In my adult life, I have responsibly done everything that was expected. I worked hard, paid my bills, find a great partner, traveled, suffered at my work, saved, sacrificed, invested, was kind, honest, responsible, and maintained health and friendships but no matter what I do and how hard I tried nothing, nothing ever come even close to the beauty of those years, to that innocence, to that intensity, to that first kiss. Nothing that I can expect in the rest of my life will ever come close to it. From now on it will be one problem after another, with deteriorating health and decay. Our Father, who art in heaven…if you think that I carried my cross long enough….take me back to that place and time of the 80s and just leave me there. That is my place for eternal life. And please keep my batteries in the Walkman always full.

    I have been looking fot his song for 43 years. I did not know who sang it, or even what the lyrics were, but I remembered the melody back in 1981, 1982. I probably heard it in a shop or on the raid or somthing. I like looking for rare and 'lost' 80's masterpieces and this one of them! Found it through You Tube music 'related'. An elegant, unique and even slightly accentric song...reminiscent of Cat Stevens and Orbonson with the brilliance of Sting. And naturally British.

    This song..... what a gift. Saw them play 4 or 5 years ago here in ATL, sounded fantastic. All the comments here got me thinking... how idyllic our lives were in the 80s.. dominant culture was not guns, self promotion, dissing and canceling each other; bragging how great we are or how tough; posing for selfies to desperately sell ourselves over the competing images on social this or that. People weren't afraid of emotion, maybe even tenderness and wonder, ...or of getting shot if at a club at night. I am thankful for so much of that introspective and joyfully exuberant, more curious and genuine time.

      this track thought it was "soppy" hence it was sung by Paul Humphreys!

    OMD is special! I still remember the first time I heard this song, all in detail. It started playing on the radio and I started recording it on my tape that I had on the cassette to record songs that I liked or that I discovered on the radio. As soon as I heard the first chords he conquered me. The most nostalgic melody I ever heard... This was music, it was the 80s, all soul❤

As a teen in 80’s, music, beer and girls were my life! All my friends were massive music fans (we all shared around C90 cassettes and made sure everyone knew about every band or gig)! We went to the pub VERY weekend and spent every penny we had on travelling to gigs or just talking music and drinking!!! 🥰🥰🥰

    Listening to this stops me dead in my tracks and immediately catapults me back to my teenage youth of first loves, zero worries, even less responsibilities and a happier life. I can remember spending my first summer in the USA as a 18 year old Brit making love to the most gorgeous American girl to the entire OMD album. This song and anything else from their 1988 ‘best of omd’ album literally sends me into a temporary paralysis with happy nostalgic vibes. Thank god for music, talented artists and technology. Go forth and enjoy. Remembering CeAnn, Seattle, 1993. Best summer ever…
