Hopefully there's still plenty of people still listening to this amazing song in 2023!
En este momento
❤ soeben am lauschen dieser schönen Klänge
Brings back some great memories
Yes me! I play this song in my car a lot.
Here!! 😅
It’s 2024 and I’m still listening to this amazing song. Wasn’t 80s dancing just great
Me too! ❤
AND ME!!!!!❤
I want to find a time machine and go back to this time and never ever leave!!
Me too
Can't believe they're coming here this year. Just saw the Fixx last year, can't wait for this one. Holy memories, batman .
Anyone listening in 2024 to one of the very best songs and bands from the 80’s ? !
Their concert in Amsterdam was awesome..!!
Yes and I’ll be seeing them in Philly this fall
Me and not to make anybody jealous I am going to be seeing them live on Saturday 20th April woohoo cannot wait. This is the second time seeing them live.
@@bronwinswartz1112awesome..!!
I just had to make a little detour from the present & go back to when we were all glorious young fools who never left the dancefloor. Long live the 80s.
Who is listening to this track in 2024 ❤
I am and it makes me wanna cry
2054 also...if I am still here..
I first heard of it today and I downloaded it same time... I fell in love with it immediately after hearing...
I'm leaving this comment here by the way so that when someone like it I will then go back and listen to it... ❤
just wondered if you were around in the 80s when this first came out, omd made some great songs and you should check out them out as well❤❤❤
For me, one of the most underrated pop tunes of the 80s. If you can, get some headphones and listen to the highest quality version you can find. The engineering and mastering on this track is epic.
............ ABSOLUTELY, Todays CRAP that's called MUSIC would NEVER COME CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You hit the nail on the head 👍
100% I agree and I've just have!
Listening now, close your eyes and it takes you back to a moment in time with friends you grew up with.
i remember it was played very often in radio at that time ^^
Absolute masterpiece! This song will never age.
A song heard in my childhood and now after decades by accident found it again. Great group. What good times back then ... Who else agrees??
I totally agree with you! ❤️
That's the exact way this happened with me, although I may have been in my early 20s when I first heard it!
Nothing is by accident 👍🏻😉
@@johnallred9842 I was 11 years old in 1986
For sure
A superb, unrecognised 80's hit that never gets airtime. My 16 year old loves it because of how many times he's heard it. And he agrees modern music is rubbish !!
OMD, Erasure, Pet Shop Boys, New Order....those were the days!
You are so right there. THE 80'S were the days of great music.
early mid 80s were best
I Love Erasure
So true.....
depeche mode
The 80s were the absolute best years for music,so many of the songs from that era are bring sampled in songs now.
40 years later , here we are still listening to the best music.
What a song
RIGHT ON!!!! 80s were the BEST!!!❤❤😁
40 years!!! I’m old
lives forever
Holy shit this comment made me feel really old!
One of the forgotten masterpieces of the 80's. The music starts and I am immediately back there !
me too
I had to go look up omd again...my teenage years😂
One of the greatest songs ever
Why is this stuff so much better than 2020 music? They actually have talent!
OMD has still talent allright. In 2019 a friend of mine went on the ferry IJmuiden-Newcastle just for the concert on board of.....OMD. The singer really sang well and every touch of the keyboard was real. So no playback/ lipsync.
@A&R McChargues If I was being generous, I'd say it's because there's more been more and more music released over the years, it's now harder to create something different, so everything feels similar.
If I was being realistic, it's because it's much easier to make 'music' these days, so 'artists' have become lazy and just chuck anything out there that is deemed catchy. They let the machines do the work, instead of doing the work themselves and the charts are then deluged with sound-a-like songs and singers.
There are exceptions to this of course but you have to go looking for them, instead of them being presented to you.
You're missing out. Heaps of great music still being created.
A&R McChargues
I remember this.
Yes this music is good
@@lwaves Yep. Now many people can afford recording equipment and the market is saturated. Plus, record companies are more concerned about marketing images and making money than they are concerned about the quality of music they are putting out. They figure the general public will gobble it up and they are mostly right about it.
Only number 11 in the UK charts.. should’ve been top 3 if not number 1, fantastic harmonies and melodies.. very underrated track...
Stiff competition back then.
Top 30 first aired on Tuesday 30th September 1986 (Top of the Pops 2nd October,w/e 4th October,full Sunday rundown 5th October):
1 (1) Don't Leave Me This Way - Communards; 2 (4) Rain or Shine - Five Star; 3 (NEW) True Blue - Madonna; 4 (3) Word Up - Cameo; 5 (7) Thorn in My Side - Eurythmics; 6 (2) We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off to Have a Good Time - Jermaine Stewart; 7 (5) I Just Died in Your Arms - Cutting Crew; 8 (8) Walk This Way - Run DMC and Aerosmith; 9 (26) You can Call Me Al - Paul Simon; 10 (6) The Glory of Love - Peter Cetera

IMO this should certainly have made the Top 10.
Far too many competition all around in the 80s in 85 and in 86 when this cameout too many Artist's were on fire so many wonderful songs to boot were released it charted when it did or could high and low don't matter even in 87 it was crazy after all it's the 80s u had the jackpot pinnacle anyway with class scale league another dimension world we were living that's why we can comment that now
If You Leave just before this was their biggest hit got to 4 in the US Charts tough competition even they from the UK even 4 i like this one better but it made 19 doesn't matter plenty of great songs from cool musicians don't necessarily chart maybe different in parts of the World
People can say the music i love is old, but if i turn it up loud enough i dont have to hear what they have to say. I love it to this day.
Absolutely with you, don't care what people think this era was amazing and I was born 67. Nothing will come close to the 80's
I always put the volume setting up that bit extra for this,and indeed for a lot of OMD's music.
Good for you! Can you believe we're still listening to such awesome music?
This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever. I'm so happy I grew among such music. Nothing shall ever compare to the 80's. It's the whole energy and nostalgia of a future everyone thought would be great. Turned out to be the opposite.
Each decade produced some truly breathtaking music but I agree that the 80's had an overabundance of amazing ch00nZ.
This being one of them.
I actually "rediscovered" this track when moving a truck late last night (i'm a shunter now so rarely get to listen to the radio properly) and this was playing on Absolute 80's.
I thought "I remember that track" and made a mental note to buy it when I awakened this morning.
Imagine my delight when I discovered I already had it on my Best of OMD Cd that I hadn't even broken the seal wrapping on. (How many years have I had that CD ?)
Yes I have umpteen "Unwrapped CD's" And a Humongous box of Vinyl in the loft (Nowhere to site a turntable anymore)
We have made our own Future with such sounds I think. Love to sing harmonies to this X
Amen to that ❤
I want to go and live back again in 80's for ever no return
Siiiiiiii,la encontré me encanta
I’ve loved this song since I was a little kid. Still bopping to it in 2023. Masterpiece of a song. Love OMD.
love it rebecca
One of the best songs of the 80s!!
Bring back the late 70,s early 80,s please !
All aboard the time machine .
Who's Coming!! ???🎶👍

Definitely me
I’ve got my own time machine, thanks. I’ve left some butties in 1982, for anyone who shows up. Leave a tip.
@@PaulMartin-s3o Cheese n Branston pickle please 😂
Or peanut butter with jam 😁🎵🎶👍
I think there are a great number of people who simply don't realize how incredible this song is. The harmonies are fantastic.
Kinda like The Beach Boys. A lot of people just don't get it.
OMD were (and) still are...... One of the best bands of the 80's!
In my opinion, a very underappreciated song.
Hear hear!! Excellent song!!

I'm 70 and think this song and the whole album was fantastic.
I just never knew how blessed I was to be a teenager in the 80's, when all these amazing groups were on the radio. Long live the happy memories of this awesome music!!!
Hermosa canción 🎶🎶🎶🎶
I was 18 in 1980.
It was a perfect age to be for the start of an epic decade of musical brilliance
Me too, born in 1970....take me back...
80s were the best. Going to see these guys April 26 in DC can’t wait
@@jasonn541😹
My favorite OMD song.
Don't know why this one didn't soar to the top of the charts like "If You Leave". In 86 I remember seeing the video once and hearing the song once. I loved it but I guess most others didn't.
@@switch2kryptonite OMD at that time was losing their spirit, soon their career crushed. It was a good but too poppy song, they (and also I) prefered more experimental ones, like the jewels of their three or four first LP'S: Electricity, Enola Gay, Messages, Secret, Telegraph, Genetic Engineering, Almost, and so on...
Me too. It's a masterpiece
@@jrmg33
Too bad...
@@jrmg33 There's not much that OMD did that didn't move me. Enola Gay probably ranks among my favorites. Their first several years though are among my favorites.
I’m just 18, but this fantastic song creates a completely nostalgic feeling inside me. Can’t even imagine how young people from the 80s would be feeling while listening to it on these days. I hope they just keep enjoying. ❤️
we do and we here to remember
You are very astute for an 18 year old, couldn't have said it better and I grew up with OMD
You have a good taste, brother.
Welcome to the 80s 🙂
I am 57, and it seems you are becoming grown up when saying that....Keep on with the 80s...best songs ever...
God I loved this in the 80's.
We were so Lucky to have music like this in the 80's.
OMD, the epitome of the 80’s, and great sounding music.
Bloody hell.....would somebody hurry up and invent a time machine....I want to go back.
LOL yea, music died in the 90's lol 80's is timeless
I covered my bike with plastic, poured orange juice and WD-40 on it & set it on fire, but it's just not working
I miss the 1980's it had some really good music !
tracy roberts beatiful true i agree completly
The greatest part of the human brain is memory, the worst thing that comes from memory is nostalgia. We remember but we can never go back! So sad.
I can still see myself in the 80s, dancing in a special New Wave club... beautiful memories.😘😘
yes i remember, you tried to grab my butt and I had to call the police ;)
Same here
Loving this today on the train on a rainy Dublin day, earphones in. In my own little world
As I should 😂😂😂
Judith.,so nostalgic sounds
Ah nostalgia, If only we could go back 🥲
Listen to that ridiculous lovely melody, those harmonies are like swimming in the ocean free and happy. Gorgeous
so awesome,....I miss my vinyl collection from this era. Class of 86' here :)
beautiful comment Miss C thank you
You should write a book. No, forget it , that was a terrible idea.
quite
i feel myself awash in NOSTALGIA !! what lovely melodies indeed !! What a lovely icon you have there ENJOY LUV!!
I'm brazilian. I am 47 years old. The 1980s were fantastic. The best songs, the best singers ...
Count me in!!
Nope: the seventies were the best. By far.
@@tonkool4736 music from the 70's, 80's and 90' were the best...since 2000...majority are all crap!
💛🇧🇷💚👍😉
@@BrazilResearcher you're just listening to the wrong shit
@@tonkool4736 I think the 90s was the best decade ever to listen to music.
I feel old today.
My son asked me if I liked any songs in the UK top 40 & I had to be honest... I couldn't name one song. Today's music sucks 😂
So I did what any rational child of the 80's would do, I listened to some OMD.
This song is a masterpiece 💜
This is an English band surfaced from Merseyside back in the heydays of British pop music in 1978, mostly underrated. Their music resonates the melancholic nostalgia of unparalleled pop & soul era of ‘80s. I wish there were new generations trying to recreate music with similar melodies.❤
This song is absolute perfection! The melody, the harmonies, the super catchy "I never know, I never know..." in the chorus. Love it! Paul Humphreys has such a sweet, lovely, gentle voice. He wrote this song about missing his wife when she had to go back to America. 💖
De acuerdo con usted,realmente no conocía el contexto de la letra.Muchas gracias.
You are totally right
“I wish that you could be nearer” , all makes sense now , and I’ve been listening to this 30 years , cheers !
Great info
What does Forever live and die mean
The 80's when music was real music
Una pieza maestra de OMD. Tengo 48 años y recuerdo esta canción. No le tomaba mucha importancia en esa época sin embargo ahora que la escucho de nuevo pienso que esa época trajo muchas cosas buenas como está canción. Saludos de Perú
Such a clever, unique, atmospheric chorus. I never grow tired of it.
Doesn't it just make you want to sit down and weep for our lost 80's youth? Sigh.....
I couldn't have put it any better my friend, I was listening Johnny Hates Jazz Turn Back the Clock and I really wanted to sit and weep for a magical time that's gone....,,,,,wish I could really turn back the clock!
+MJ FAN 😢
definitely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had known then what I know now about life, I would have been so much more confident in my teens and early twenties. Ah well!
iammumawaldi
My head is always in the 80's it was the best. The music is timeless...
This song makes me so nostalgic, I was a teenager in the eighties. The best time ever 😊
You know, one of the best things about being in my 50's now, is that I lived my teenage years in the 80's........Priceless, and I wouldn't change them for the world!
Somebody take me back to the 80's...when life was more simple...when your loved ones was still alive...we will never lose the 80's!
For those of us who grew up in the 80s with this Music what more is there to say?
Say no more
Classic british song so melodic, pleasant sounding and lyrics you can easily comprehend unlike todays rambling nonsense noise. How on earth today's majority of songs can be liked by today's generation is beyond me.
Agreed!
I'm old enough to remember when this song was new, and on the radio. I bough this on cassette tape and played it over and over again on my walkman. This song brings back memories of my childhood and teen years. OMD is, and was very underrated. This song touched my soul like few other bands did. Thank you.
The nostalgia this brings me is tangible. I was young at the time, but grew up with OMD. I just remember better times. Thank you OMD
Massive OMD fan here, I remember the excitement of getting their videos on VCR, great band #2024
This song really did made me want to CRY. Such a sad and yet joyful exuberant song.
It is bittersweet....Joyful as you say.....and with an underlying sadness.
Now, this is what you call " Good Music"
not the crap you hear nowadays.....
I miss the 80s soooo much!!!!!!
thank you for posting this masterpiece..
Glad its not just me. Artists on the 80's had talent. Now we have autotune, which has destroyed music.
😃 love your coment. So true. OMD FOREVER Saludos from Mx
Just heard this on the radio, no word of a lie, first time I've heard it in 30 or so years since childhood, completely passed me by and never once heard it played until this afternoon. The nostalgia was heartwarming and has simply made my day ❤
The little dance at 0:58-1:00 makes me so happy.
Nice dance moves but way too short .
I can't believe I missed this one from the 80's....I stumbled across it on Pandora last night....immediately loved it...been playing it nonstop all day.......63yrs old and still dancing.....Dave
It’s Five years later and this is still my go to sound when I wanna get going ! I’ve learned so much since then.
+David Agar | Haha! Dave! It's never to late too "Discover"! This song was all over New Wave radio stations in the 1980's ! It's a beautiful song!
I missed it too, now can't stop listening to it.
You still listening Dave !

Hi!!!! David. I'm 62 and i'm dancing to this great tune. Loved these guys and all 80's bands. A brilliant era of music.
Mid 80s how we miss you!!! Great simple times my friends.
iconic eighties song.

Timeless music from omd, nothing like this today, basically nobody out there as good, 80s forever.
all said :)
STILL one of my favorite songs Ever. ❤️ 2024
Este tema es uno de los lentos de los '80 más lindos que he escuchado, me traslada al inicio de mi escuela secundaria en 1986💕💫
Wonderful song from a great period.
Beautiful & classy English band; my favourite '80s band. Maid of Orleans, for me, is the top tune of the '80s.
Thanks Brenda glad to hear we still have fans🙏
@@wisdom7119 Then you'll be pleased to hear my 21-yr-old daughter is also a fan. At the minute she can't stop playing Enola Gay -- her mum had the same problem as a 17-yr-old :)
Yeah!! Hoping to travel to Manchester, in November this year, with my daughter & two of my friends from the '80s who also loved OMD back then... I always regret I never got to see the band in the '80s...but never too late! xx
This moves me to my core.
The best rock, pop, new wave, synthpop, new romantic, metal, all of them are from the U.K.....They make the difference 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Never had a number 1 single. Biggest scandal in music history.

Because there it was a lot of more talented competitors at the same time.
Oh totally agree!!!!!
Absolute travesty.....😔😔😔
WHAT A MEMORY!
80s will always be the greatest Era for music. As long as Europe doesn't go hop hip. Come on Europe keep making good music.
Tellement belle cette chanson c'est la première fois que je l'attends. Mon enfant à 40 ans maintenant. J'ai pas réussi à n'avoir d'autres. Pour finir catastrophe. Je suis devenu indisposé début 40 ans hélas! Mais heureusement cet enfant réussi bien dans la vie et est parent d'un enfant. Je suis une heureuse MAMY .
Such a melodically sophisticated track, with a place for every instrument and voice, and a beautiful unique melody. Arguably doesn't even sound dated.
Needs more cowbell. :-)
The cure perfect girl
such a beyond accurate description! very well put
omd didnt date. thats why they are my favourite band in the whole wide world xx
cowbell is like brandy into a christmas cake; too much, and it just starts getting silly.
I miss the 80's 😭 But SO thankful for RUclips so I can see my old loves playing my favorite oldies!! ❤️❤️❤️ Keeps me sane in this crazy world 👍
I agree with you 110%
Haven't this song since 1987... Thank you for this. Full Closure. 2023. Truly Blessed and Grateful Thank you LIFE!
80s the magic era. Los 80s la mejor época de mi vida
I was a Junior in HS when this song was released. I remembered brisk , but sunny Saturday mornings when this video was on MTV. Everything was new and anything was possible. it will always remained sentimental and close to my heart forever more.
Rediscovered this great OMD song. Reminiscing the 80s vibes while growing as a teen then. Thank you very much.
It's now 2024 and I just retouched with this band ..gotta love bands that are musicians
Hands down their BEST. The groove, the horns and the harmonizing vocals...No Ka Oi
I can't explain it but OMD just gives me chills... Their music just gets inside me and makes me want to sing aloud wherever I am. Hopefully it's not a crowded elevator next time.
that's how music should be - touches your soul! I know what you mean :)
I remember when I first heard this song in the autumn of 1986. I was captured by the hautingly beautiful harmonies and the lyrics. When I hear it, I am always transported back to my teenage years. OMD have written many other good songs but this one is my favourite.
Agree on all counts. I was a freshman in college when this came out. I heard it on the radio and was transfixed.
I feel the same: fall of 1986, was in high school and still learning English. Mesmerizing tune
OMD the best band british, amazing
I disagree Pet Shop Boys are.
OMG, talk about memories, those were da time, I love their music, forever 80s
this song makes me happy, no bigger compliment
I'm 20 years old and i love this song.
I'm 58 but you have good taste in music
I’m bloody 18.
I'm 63 and I still love this band's music and other's like them.
Wise beyond your years young man.
so am I, you're not special
Tenía 11 12 años cuando escucha este tema por primera vez hoy tengo 51 me hace alucinar esa melodía es viajar por la galaxia
An underrated and largely forgotten classic from OMD.
I'm so used to the other guy singing the songs, i forgot what a perfect and gentle voice the blonde guy had. Warms the heart.
I agree! I love Andy and his voice but just like you said Paul has a kind, gentle voice. It's a nice contrast and I'm glad he got to take some lead vocals.
Those of us that grew up in these times were truly blessed with the best of times. I look at the landscape today and morn for everyone that will never know the beauty of a time like we had. It's heart wrenching to know they will never experience young innocent life fueled with beautiful music and decent people. And for those of you my age, my generation, tho we have never met, I miss you.
Una de las mejores bandas pop de los 80 's...donde la música se diversificó de tal manera que había mucha música muy buena y toda diferente...no como ahora...
This song is a legend simply Master piece, imprint on me forever ❤️❤️❤️
One word… Timeless. 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Just a real feel good 80s song. Represent!😁
I'm 65yrs now, when I first heard this song around 1983 or 84, I was taken by the combination of vocals and instrumentals that after the song was over on the radio, I never found out the name of the band who wrote it and never heard that song again until..fast forward to 2018, I was driving and skipping radio stations when I caught the tail end of this song....I quickly pulled over and had my Shazam app help me identify the name and group...
When I found out....I finally got the whole version of this song and for some reason always brings a tear to my eye....Thanks OMD......such a great song for the "Soul"
You didn't hear it in 83 or 84. It was 3 or 4 years after that.
Yeah, this song came out late summer of '86.

Aaaaaah that magic nostalgia only the 80s can create!!!
Their best song ever. Without doubt.
God what I'd give to get back to the 80's for just one more time!
'They still make great music.
me too!!
You are right I would tanvien anything to return to that beautiful time and that melody of the omd and many more groups of music new wave ...
Check out a show called "red oaks " on amazon video.. its great .. about the 80's
Most of the music I like is from the 80s.
80's music is my life.
So here we are 2021 and still with the girl I met in 1986 and still enjoy listening to this song we danced to during our wedding. Our song. Forever Live and Die. What a beautiful time! No internet, No cell phones, and no 24 hr news. A time where you could be yourself, make mistakes and live another day.
I got with my partner in 85 and married 89 and still very happy, like you I wish all the technology would disappear and let me go back
a classis 80's🎶💕💃
I was listening to this in my car. It was on repeat for two hours and I never got sick of it. Love this song. It’s now 2021 and music is crap in comparison. Too many singers but not enough musicians. No one knows music anymore, how to play an instrument, how to write music. I miss humming tunes to myself. Music today is shit and I feel sorry for the new generation who never experienced the 80s
Maybe it's because I've been primarily tuned into what's considered the alternative scene for more of my life at this point than I have been to what's accepted in more recent years as what (depressingly) passes for mainstream pop, but good music still does exist. I'd argue that the Post-Punk, Synthwave and Goth genres are in pretty good hands, with a considerable number of current bands paying homage to who came before them through recognizable qualities of the past, as well as adding their own ingredients to create something is at least as good as, if not even better than what came before.
Unfortunately, it does require greater concerted personal efforts to find such examples than it did when many of us were adolescents/teens/young adults in the '80s, and we were surrounded by them through our locally-managed radio stations - those that were not just another holding of a multi-state conglomerate with AI automated programming and a very predictable, repetitive, and uninspired playlist.
I rarely if ever listen to the devolved state of commercial radio now, and have instead been listening primarily to the streams or archived programs of College/independent, free-form public-supported radio stations, niche music podcasts from various individuals, and plenty of virtual crate digging on RUclips, Bandcamp, Discogs, and the like. I think it's safe to say that you may find some new discoveries through those means.
I listened to it nonstop and introduced it to my fiancee and are in our mid50s now reminding me of Radio5's top 40hits back in the days of my youth in township Atteridgeville South Africa
Loved the 80s, loved OMD and this song, brings back so many amazing memories and so much joy it brings, remembering dancing to it, listening in the car or just hanging out with friends and enjoying that time and the music that came with that time period.
The eighties cannot be beat for sheer volume of great songs. This band had many of them.
