After living through the 1980's as a kid it was the best times of my life. Now that I'm 55 it REALLY touches you how beautiful the music was. The 80's music will ALWAYS touch my heart.
After being a rockabilly through 1979/80 I then heard Enola gay and fell in love with synth music.This group helped change my life for the better and this tune was one of the greatest hits of the 80's. Whenever I see OMD live and they play this it just brings back some fantastic memories of the early 80's.How I would love to live those days again.Architecture and morality was such a tremendous album with so many fantastic tunes.
You are a few years younger than m father dear Lady. But i guess he also heard it from my room. And why i mentioned my father is because my parents are divorced.
Es gibt Lieder, die hört man durch Zufall nach langer Zeit im Radio beim Autofahren, und man macht den Ton ganz laut und ist happy. Gänsehaut-Lied, für immer👍
@@carmenrammenstein5512Da bin ich gedanklich sofort immer wieder 11...als ich die Single damals kaufte & noch bis heute habe! War übrigens meine erste eigens gekaufte. Zeitloses Meisterwerk !!!
Komisch aber bei dem Lied lief der berühmte film der jugend in mir ab.sofort kamen mir menschen in den sinn die ich damals kannte und dann später aus den augen verlor.
Omd probably one of the most underrated bands of the 80s by those who didn't appreciate great music by great musicians that is... Omd were ahead of their time..
Brilliant video. Such a haunting, ethereal, melody … people slagged the bands off back then. But the more people got older, stepped back and evaluated things with the passage of time, opinions changed and memories became warmer.
@Maad Wunz The drumming at the start is a bit similar. I used to think OMD played lovely music but their lyrics were a bit twee in comparison to Joy Division. Mind you not too many indie bands were as dark as Joy Division.
It’s a pity that the video is set up so eloquently and historically correct but the chess players are playing with the board the wrong way round. (White square right corner).
In 1980 I was 14, and am so grateful that I was able to live my youth through that decade, when music was music, and OMD were there to bring joy to your ears and lives. The 80s were definitely a time to be enjoyed. So many great groups, artists, singers, dancers, discos, clubs, etc. When I hear music from that era, it puts a smile on my face, and you know that it will always stand the test of time. So glad I was born in the mid 60s.
For me, this is the greatest song and video from OMD. I'm 57 and when I hear the first notes I still get goose bumps. March 15th 2022.. I got those goose bumps again when they played those first notes at the Royal Albert Hall last night. Andy, Paul, Martin & Stuart, thank you for a fantastic concert. 26 live songs in all their glory.
I saw them live in Manchester last month... this has always been my favourite OMD song ... to hear it played live was electric! I am nearly 59, a true '80s teen & forever grateful for it.
Haha. I'm 58 and this song blew me away as a 19 year old in New Zealand. I think we were fortunate to live during the 80s and appreciate what it has given us.
I bought the 7" vinyl single I've still got it lying around somewhere or other. I heard it on the radio the other day I had to come here to listen to it again.
Born 1963 so the 80s music was my time. We had the best music. You could sing along or dance to eat. The clothes were great. Happy days on pub runs at the weekend. Where did the years go. I'm 61 and it makes me sad that all the fun has gone 😢 November 2024
We loved the 80s, growing up and enjoying life in the 80s and we loved OMD. It was the best era in music and entertainment in general. How do we know this music was the best and timeless, because we loved it then and we love it even more so now, realizing that it will never repeat itself in music, movies or feelings. Thank you OMD and that decade of entertainment for incredible memories.
It was the best of times and the worst of times. Great music,great clothes, great hair, great cars but always hanging over us the idiotic power games between USA and USSR. anyway I am ,57 now and I do not give a flying fuck, Over the last 4 years the world I knew has descended into trans madness. I really believe the end is nigh for the human race.
550 years after the death of the Real Joane of Arc, OMD brings the musican version alive. This track is everything that makes electronic music of the 80's to the best. Than this track starts, my world stops for a while. Thanks for this outstanding masterpiece of music and sound in history ❤.
Ich liebe dieses Lied immer noch! Es war die erste und einzige Single, die ich je kaufte. Es gibt Lieder, die zeitlos schön sind. Maid Of Orleans gehört dazu.
Love this song, relaxes, soothes and calms the soul. Takes me back to a time when nothing really mattered but the music, no worries, no stress, life was good.
Incredible how a particular song can transport you back in time,this being a favourite of mine.I was 15 and remember sitting in my classroom staring out of the window without a care in the world. Mom and dad back home looking after me,grans,grandads, aunts and uncles still a part of my life.They no longer with me but Maid of Orleans gives me a glimpse of what I once had thx OMD🙏🙏
As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up with this music! It is always nice to hear this masterpiece and to remember the best time in our young years, because all that remains in our hearts are our memories, while everything else fades away! Als Kind der 70´s und 80´s bin ich mit dieser Musik aufgewachsen! Immer wieder schön dieses Meisterwerk zu hören und sich an die beste Zeit in jungen Jahren zu erinnern, denn alles was in unseren Herzen zurück bleibt sind unsere Erinnerungen, während alles andere vergeht!
Spooky. I can remember the exact same thing when I first heard Oxygene part IV on my dad's car stereo when I was 6. I thanked my dad for introducing me to Jean Michael Jarre. Sounds like you feel the same way about this. Gives me goosebumps too by the way, there's just something about this record.
1981 - I was 13 years old, sitting on my windowsill at a summerevening and listen to this song. It was so magical for a few minutes. Today this is just as heartbreaking like then ... ❤😢
The UK 80's chart will be forever legendary -- If you were there you will understand perfectly why that is. I'll never get over my youth; nor do I ever want to. Listening 15/7/24... will keep listening as long as I draw breath. I turned 17 in '80 - How lucky can you be. 🙂😊
Madre mía!!! Que música tan bonita, la escucho una y otra vez y no me cansa. Que distinta de las músicas de hoy día. Llenas de ordinariez y sin melodía.
Always loved this song and a Yorkshire connection in the video just a few miles away from me - the world heritage site Fountains Abbey at 0:15 and 2:00 , and I suspect the rock formations at the start were at Brimham Rocks just a few miles from the abbey. Both National Trust and well worth a visit if you're in the area.
This classic was in the charts exactly 40 years ago, my first Christmas after leaving school, what a time to be 16 years old going to the pub and playing this and many others on the jukebox
Kudos to the director Steve Barron for this superlative MTV. Great storytelling that truly gives credibility and presence to this most wonderful OMD track.
Dans les Années 80 ce titre m’est apparue ❤lorsque nous avons eu “ la bande fm “ radio en France 🇫🇷 NRJ !! Éveil de mon oreille musicale 🎵 et absolue gratitude 🙏
Chanson exceptionnelle, batteur exceptionnel 👍👍👍, il faut l'écouter dans cette chanson, il est fantastique jusqu'à la fin, bravo OMD 😉😉😉. je suis de votre génération, je suis né en 1970...
The 80's was 1 of the most incredible times for music and OMD was iconic for a sound an uniqueness some of the lesser known sounds are just unbelievable! 😍 ❤️ - truly truly beautiful music 😍
@@DaXande135 Bevor ich mich aktiv mit OMD auseinander gesetzt hab war dies der einzige Song den ich jemals gehört hatte - im Radio und das relativ oft sogar.
@Luc Germain ich glaube @al3x135 will damit sagen das, dass Meisterwerk von OMD Popmusik mit einer Botschaft und eine Hommage an Jeanne d'Arc ist. Und nicht wie das heutige Popgedudel, wo Regenschirme oder Partys angehimmelt werden :-)
OMD were years ahead of their time , well done Andy and the rest of the Birkenhead lads , its 2022 we're on the verge of war and this track still sounds brilliant, im 54 now , just proves how good omd really were
this is one of so many great hits from OMD , the 80`s rocked with this group , some eerie songs , some up beat , a vast difference in tracks over the years, OMD STILL POPULAR IN 2022
La Doncella de Orleans es un icono de la música electrónica de los ochenta. Un homenaje a la Santa Juana de Arco después de ser capturada durante la Guerra de Los Cien años cuando encabeza las tropas francesas . Una mezcla del medievo y lo sensorial a través del ritmo de la caja y el teclado electrónico. Me evoca los años ochenta de mi adolescencia. Gracias OMD por componer temas tan sublimes .
El valls de Santa Juana de arco. En el vinilo original de ellos del 81,y el recopilatorio del 88,lo ponía. Preciosa la canción. Julia Tobin es la actriz que protagoniza el vídeo.
This was one of my mums favourite songs, she took her own life many years ago, sometimes it will come on the radio just at the right time and take my breath away for a second, that intro is haunting!
I was 12 years old in 1980...all the 80's is the best of the best of the music so ever heard ! OMD and other groups helped me to improve my english at school and I still listen to them today (my birthday) thanks god for this true music coming from the heart.. Whitney, (RIP) Maria, Phil, Police, David (RIP), Prince (RIP), Michael (RIP), John, Freddy (RIP) and the others ..you music is written in ths stone forever . Thanks forever WE LOVE YOU
Once upon a time, there used to be real music and great songs like this one. Now we have stupid lyrics, ganster-like, in which if you don't swear, if you don't mention cheating, being a "bad-ass" or anything like it, then you are none. Stupid times we are living, hey. God bless Jeanne D'Arc, if I ever come back to France, I'll visit your grave. Thank you OMD for the wonderful music and to my brother for making me listen to it!
@@misscristinatheteacher5068 Your brother had wonderful taste in music. OMD have so many fantastic songs, it is amazing that they were so underrated. I'm in Australia, and they are meant to be coming out late this year or early next year to support Simple Minds. I seen them in 1983 in Queensland. This bloody covid might have a say in it though.
@@misscristinatheteacher5068 Yeah pretty good thanks. I haven't missed a days work. Our state of Victoria, has had a bad run with the virus, we are in lockdown. But it looks like it's getting better, so fingers crossed. How is it in Thailand?
I'm so glad that I was old enough to be living through this music when it was brand new, as a teen. Back in the days when we had cassette tapes, boom boxes, walkmans and parachute pants. I amassed a small collection about 200 CD's and 80 or so cassettes and only recently lost it in a repossessed storage unit.
This song was my mother’s and my absolute favorite when I was a little child. Even as an adult, I continued to listen to it from time to time and, of course, never forgot it. When my mother passed away in 2011, I had this song played at her funeral. It was heartbreaking, but I’m sure she would have liked it. Rest in peace, Mom ❤
Wow!! Saw them last night in Manchester... they were absolutely superb! It took me four decades to see my favourite '80s band - so glad I finally got there :)
Love this track, I'm 53 so I remember it well. A beautiful song. Another gorgeous song is Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins. Both these songs are waltz's
I was 10 when these came out. Loved it then, still love it now. OMD were way ahead of their time. Thanks for the great memories - and the ability to play this for the next 40 years.
The sad thing is that some of my youth have already left, of course much too early, but it shows that the impacts are getting closer, oh man, how did I love my youth and the 80s 👍😢
I was once hired as a DJ at a wedding and they asked me to play a waltz for the newlyweds to dance to. I played this song and the whole wedding party cheered by the first sounds of it. Not to mention that the bride and the groom loved it, the dancefloor filled quickly and they all thanked me later especially for that stroke of genius to play Maid of Orleans instead of some classical piece (which I failed to bring to the party).
After living through the 1980's as a kid it was the best times of my life. Now that I'm 55 it REALLY touches you how beautiful the music was. The 80's music will ALWAYS touch my heart.
yep . no heart these days
Damn right...I kissed my first girlfriend at a party with this masterpiece playing...happy days
That's all right !
After being a rockabilly through 1979/80 I then heard Enola gay and fell in love with synth music.This group helped change my life for the better and this tune was one of the greatest hits of the 80's. Whenever I see OMD live and they play this it just brings back some fantastic memories of the early 80's.How I would love to live those days again.Architecture and morality was such a tremendous album with so many fantastic tunes.
You say it!
I am almost 77 years-old...and I remember hearing this song coming from my son’s bedroom... Beautiful...❤️🎶

Es gibt Lieder, die hört man durch Zufall nach langer Zeit im Radio beim Autofahren, und man macht den Ton ganz laut und ist happy. Gänsehaut-Lied, für immer👍

Was für eine schöne Zeit, als wir jung waren .Bin 65 Jahre alt. Unvergesslich.
Dto, bin ein Jahr älter, immer noch ein tolles Lied. So etwas gibt es heutzutage nicht mehr, schade eigentlich.

Damn right
I feel fortunate to be alive in this decade. A masterpiece!
I feel so so lucky to have had this decade for my youth …. It was THEE best decade ever … would love to live it again and again
We were blessed in our salad days.
Yet another testament to the greatness of 80's music.
"80s music" is a meaningless term. It's a testament to the greatness of these wonderful autodidacts, OMD, who came from nowhere.
In the Netherlands we consider this a top 100 song of all time.
It is.
Its slowly sliding down the list though, people aging and dying it started as 184th out of the top2000 ever it is now at place 582.
Zeker weten... klasse nummer

Janfrans Zuidema Ik ook! Van Spanje tot

In Hungary I consider so, too. :D
I took it to my list of "Best slow songs" on the ~10-20th place.
The video greatly enhances the pleasure.
The 80s really was the best music EVER 👍
inventive
One of those very rare songs that makes you feel happy and sad at the same time...brilliant...
I know, its hard to contain emotions when hearing this song!
I know a ton of such songs but they're modern electro/indie.

Dont cry Miss Laurie
Dans les Années 80 ce titre m’est apparue ❤lorsque nous avons eu “ la bande fm “ radio en France 🇫🇷 NRJ !! Éveil de mon oreille musicale 🎵 et absolue gratitude 🙏
Omg one of the greatest hits of the 80s absolutely brilliant song🖒
Louise Fox
Its even better live
😚😙😚😙
Another brilliant song from this totally underrated duo.
Chanson exceptionnelle, batteur exceptionnel 👍👍👍, il faut l'écouter dans cette chanson, il est fantastique jusqu'à la fin, bravo OMD 😉😉😉. je suis de votre génération, je suis né en 1970...
The 80's was 1 of the most incredible times for music and OMD was iconic for a sound an uniqueness some of the lesser known sounds are just unbelievable! 😍 ❤️ - truly truly beautiful music 😍
Ein Lied der Superlative. - Ich liebe es! - Und, ich hab es ewig schon nicht mehr im Radio gehört. - Auch als Video gut gelungen!
Leider, würde es gerne öfters im Radio hören, statt dem ganzen Pop-Gedudel.
@@DaXande135 Bevor ich mich aktiv mit OMD auseinander gesetzt hab war dies der einzige Song den ich jemals gehört hatte - im Radio und das relativ oft sogar.
@Luc Germain ich glaube @al3x135 will damit sagen das, dass Meisterwerk von OMD Popmusik mit einer Botschaft und eine Hommage an Jeanne d'Arc ist. Und nicht wie das heutige Popgedudel, wo Regenschirme oder Partys angehimmelt werden :-)
One of the most beautiful synth sounds ever made!!!!
OMD were years ahead of their time , well done Andy and the rest of the Birkenhead lads , its 2022 we're on the verge of war and this track still sounds brilliant, im 54 now , just proves how good omd really were
You are the same age as I am now too. I guess we remember from the time this was in the charts too-thank you!!
Wow i didnt know these lads were from
Birkenhead ,,i live 10 min up the road,wow
Absolute classic tune. Yes the 80s music was brilliant. Great video. Stunning lady too
this is one of so many great hits from OMD , the 80`s rocked with this group , some eerie songs , some up beat , a vast difference in tracks over the years, OMD STILL POPULAR IN 2022
La Doncella de Orleans es un icono de la música electrónica de los ochenta. Un homenaje a la Santa Juana de Arco después de ser capturada durante la Guerra de Los Cien años cuando encabeza las tropas francesas . Una mezcla del medievo y lo sensorial a través del ritmo de la caja y el teclado electrónico. Me evoca los años ochenta de mi adolescencia. Gracias OMD por componer temas tan sublimes .
si, curioso tributo de un grupo ingles a una enemiga e de inglaterra en el medioevo..
El valls de Santa Juana de arco.
En el vinilo original de ellos del 81,y el recopilatorio del 88,lo ponía.
Preciosa la canción.
Julia Tobin es la actriz que protagoniza el vídeo.

Dejaos de política,es una canción bellísima,que cada uno le dé su significado
@@lunawolfuwu8767 política?,o historia mas bien
This was one of my mums favourite songs, she took her own life many years ago, sometimes it will come on the radio just at the right time and take my breath away for a second, that intro is haunting!
🙏🙏🙏may the lord sweet Jesus Christ grant your mum eternal rest ❤️
Bless you Veronica take care .
As so sorry Veronica. My daughter died when she was 6 so I know exactly where your coming from. Huge hugs X
Im so sorry for your loss. May she rest in peace.
Sorry for your loss sweetheart. Xxx
They were so young when they composed this song in 1981, just let that sink in.
An absolute masterpiece. Timeless classic.
The passion of youth ❤🔥
I’m 34 years old and I remembered listening to this has a small child. I still love OMD.
I'm 30 and all this music is way before My time but nothing beats the older music. I hate all the rapping rubbish of my time
people dont write this kind of music anymore.........its in our timeline and just appreciate it
Für mich einer der absolut Größten Songs aller Zeiten. Kann ich Stundenlang in Dauerschleife hören.
Das ist meine génération, ich bin 1970 gebohren 😉😉😉😉
I was 12 years old in 1980...all the 80's is the best of the best of the music so ever heard ! OMD and other groups helped me to improve my english at school and I still listen to them today (my birthday) thanks god for this true music coming from the heart.. Whitney, (RIP) Maria, Phil, Police, David (RIP), Prince (RIP), Michael (RIP), John, Freddy (RIP) and the others ..you music is written in ths stone forever . Thanks forever WE LOVE YOU
Once upon a time, there used to be real music and great songs like this one. Now we have stupid lyrics, ganster-like, in which if you don't swear, if you don't mention cheating, being a "bad-ass" or anything like it, then you are none. Stupid times we are living, hey. God bless Jeanne D'Arc, if I ever come back to France, I'll visit your grave. Thank you OMD for the wonderful music and to my brother for making me listen to it!
Well said!
@@anthonytesta5964 thank you, it is true, right? As a teacher I find it really hard
@@misscristinatheteacher5068 Your brother had wonderful taste in music. OMD have so many fantastic songs, it is amazing that they were so underrated. I'm in Australia, and they are meant to be coming out late this year or early next year to support Simple Minds. I seen them in 1983 in Queensland. This bloody covid might have a say in it though.
@@anthonytesta5964 greetings to you from Thailand, I've been here since the covid started messing with our lives. How are you getting on?
@@misscristinatheteacher5068 Yeah pretty good thanks. I haven't missed a days work. Our state of Victoria, has had a bad run with the virus, we are in lockdown. But it looks like it's getting better, so fingers crossed. How is it in Thailand?
I'm so glad that I was old enough to be living through this music when it was brand new, as a teen. Back in the days when we had cassette tapes, boom boxes, walkmans and parachute pants. I amassed a small collection about 200 CD's and 80 or so cassettes and only recently lost it in a repossessed storage unit.
This song was my mother’s and my absolute favorite when I was a little child. Even as an adult, I continued to listen to it from time to time and, of course, never forgot it. When my mother passed away in 2011, I had this song played at her funeral. It was heartbreaking, but I’m sure she would have liked it. Rest in peace, Mom ❤
Tolle Melodie, die sehr schöne Erinnerungen weckt.
My Mum & Dad bought me this on 7" vinyl for my 13th birthday in 1981 ....and I STILL love it (and OMD!) ♥
Same here Maxine, this is the first single I ever bought. I was 12 then and I too still think its great !
@maxine Me too, it was my first vinyl-single, I was born 1968 too, kisses.
@70ajc This single is the "first single" song, it was my first vinyl single too, kisses.
15 one of best songs ever
Great cover featuring Joan of arc in stain glass
This is just so heart touching. Great song. Best OMD song ever.
Marko Kostako souvenir
My late father loved this and used to whistle all the way through. Brings tears to my eyes.
Wow!! Saw them last night in Manchester... they were absolutely superb! It took me four decades to see my favourite '80s band - so glad I finally got there :)
Glad you got to see them,I’m the same 40 years on and finally going to see them in march next year.👏👏👏🙏🙏
Love this track, I'm 53 so I remember it well. A beautiful song. Another gorgeous song is Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins. Both these songs are waltz's
This song is an absolute masterpiece.
This synth intro is one of the best things I've ever heard
Meine erste Single. Danke OMD für 40 Jahre Gänsehaut.
I was 10 when these came out. Loved it then, still love it now. OMD were way ahead of their time. Thanks for the great memories - and the ability to play this for the next 40 years.
Das war das Lieblingslied meiner Oma. Wir haben es auf ihrer Trauerfeier gespielt. Oma hoffentlich hast du es jetzt gut da oben❤️🕊️
Godbless rip
The sad thing is that some of my youth have already left, of course much too early, but it shows that the impacts are getting closer, oh man, how did I love my youth and the 80s 👍😢
Close my eyes and I'm back in time.
Still miss the 80's...
I feel like being at 1431.
Pixel Art Ola haha brilliant makes me laugh every time I read it
Shell-Martijn When everything was better..
***** Yes, that's true...
Shell-Martijn I didn't live in the 80s myself,
but from everything I & see/hear, everything was better.
People, food, music & even thought :)
J'ai découvert ce groupe en 1985 chez mes cousins anglais de Liverpool. Ce groupe à accompagné chaque étape de ma vie.
An absolute work of art. Simple and class. A masterpiece. This is why this great era for music will never bow out. Forever trapped!
I'm a tough guy, but, genuinely,i feel like crying when i hear this. Reminds me of good times long ago. Times not so good for me now. life sucks.
I was once hired as a DJ at a wedding and they asked me to play a waltz for the newlyweds to dance to. I played this song and the whole wedding party cheered by the first sounds of it. Not to mention that the bride and the groom loved it, the dancefloor filled quickly and they all thanked me later especially for that stroke of genius to play Maid of Orleans instead of some classical piece (which I failed to bring to the party).
THIS tune commands respect!! Beyond beautiful!
Es war eine sehr schöne Zeit, man war noch jung. Dieser Song ist einfach unvergesslich. ❤❤
