    Lyrics:
    Our one source of energy
    The ultimate discovery
    Electric blue for me
    Never more to be free
    Electricity
    Nuclear and HEP
    Carbon fuels from the sea
    Wasted electricity
    Our one source of energy
    Electricity
    All we need to live today
    A gift for man to throw away
    The chance to change has nearly gone
    The alternative is only one
    The final source of energy
    Solar electricity
    Electricity
    Electricity
    Electricity
    Electricity
    Electricity

    One of the most amazing, fast paced and brilliant songs. Loved it from the first notes and loved it through time. Music of the 80s was amazing, timeless, ageless, but this song goes up to there to the top with all the uplifting and amazing, danceable songs that make you have fun and move to the music. So many incredible memories it brings.

Love all kinds of music and still listen to most of it. Even went to Rush concert before Neil Peart passed. Still put on an incredible show, as they have before. Saw Depeche mode as well about 15 years ago.

Amazing show, because we were very close to the stage on that one. Latest saw Depeche Mode some years ago, recently on Jones Beach. Very nice show and was so nostalgic.

    Fun fact: most of the instrumets on this track are from the 60's: a Vox Jaguar organ, a Fender Jazz bass and a Selmer Pianotron electric piano (aka Weltmeister Claviset) playing the main melody. The other ones are the synth drums and Korg synth lead in the bridge, wich give away the era in wich this tune was recorded (1979)

    • @LFOVCF
      @LFOVCF 3 года назад +15

      The Korg M-500 did the lead and the high hat was actually the Korg in white noise mode, as was the Pssh pssh sound at the start.
      I have the same synth.

      @humanchannel7825 3 года назад +8

      Actually you’re wrong about the bass. This version was recorded for their debut album which was released in 1980. In this version he plays a spray painted fender jazz bass but in the 1979 version he plays a left handed Wilson rapier bass.

    They were from the legendary Eric's scene in Liverpool, 1977-1980. The scene that also produced Echo and the Bunnymen, The Teardrop Explodes, The Mighty Wah, Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Pete Burns (Dead or Alive), Ian Broudie (Original Mirrors and later, The Lightning Seeds). And like all the great British scenes of that time, the spark that ignited it was the Sex Pistols.

    I was a teen and I felt in love with OMD's "Enola Gay" song. So I bought the 45-rpm disk record.
    I listened to it over and over without getting tired of it and without caring about side B song.
    Finally one day I looked at side B whose title was "Electricity". The title looked mean and trivial but I listened to the song.
    It was magic and wander. In my opinion this is the true masterpiece.
