Definitely a go to....on your own.... depression....get the ironing board out (KEYBOARDS) couple of beers . .your concert your choice.... sad but true.
I love this song since the beginning in 1981 and playing it till today. Think the drumming was inspired by Joy Division's Atmosphere -which was released at least 1/2 year before......
I recall when OMD first released this. I had heard of them, but their music was rarely played in the US until Maid of Orleans. The melody is haunting, and sticks in your head so that you must play it over and over and over and...
If you have never been to an OMD concert do it! You'll be up dancing in the first minute and won't sit down for a couple of hours. An amazing experience and Andy and the band know how to keep an audience engaged. How much is being 16 years old again worth? Take my money!!!
OMD came into my life way back in August of 1985 -- I had tickets to see Power Station in concert (at Memorial Coliseum in Portland, OR) mostly because Spandau Ballet were set to open. Their sax player broke his arm, so they ended up bowing out. In their place was OMD, and it was such a great show. I became an instant fan and have remained so to this day.
the boys still kick ass...great clip with Mal on the skins...OMD have just gone from strength to strength since getting back together..new album in 2022 says Andy
Andy giving it the full scale geography teacher dance, no wonder his poor knees are shot, and great to see Malcolm on drums-he was the best, and great he recovered from his heart problems. Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark are my favourite band, seen them live many times, early stuff was the best, but some of the more recent offerings have great as well.
Very cool 😎 hasn’t lost it and somehow just that they came from that same space the pioneers of keyboards 🎹 and beautiful powerful romantic music I can feel the Ian Curtis energy in that dance 🕺. Brilliant 10/10
By writing a great and awesome song about about famous historical tragedies, by association the music becomes a well - deserved One for the Ages. OMD genius. Beloved of university students and all at the time. The historical tragedy also benefits from greater awareness and probably book-buying, memorabilia and tourism.
Maid of Orleans will go down in the historical echelons of a song worthy of a standing ovation and a salute to Messrs Andy Mccluskey and Paul Humphreys for keeping OMD together as a band since 1978 to the Present.
Beautiful performance but it isn't until you see them live and experience the dancing that you realize how all the cute directitorial cuts undermines what is actually happening on the stage in terms of Andy and what he is expressing.physically. Awesome show tho in Toronto on Thursday!
her dreams to give her (heart) away she offered her body to the grave......a heart lives forever it never dies with so much love the grave could not hold her inside.....Oh death where is thy sting? old grave where is the victory ? I love to hear this song and watch him ...dance the Joan of Arc dance ....puts a smile on my face OMD... I got a heart Sincerely Yours Saint Joan of Arc
Best song ever by OMD. Truly one of the greatest 80s bands.
Definitely a go to....on your own.... depression....get the ironing board out (KEYBOARDS) couple of beers . .your concert your choice.... sad but true.
Omd
Jesus. His voice never aged
Best synth pop band of all time hands down dont even try to tell me differently...can't even explain how much they mean to me
For somebody born in 1959 and older than I am, Andy deserves a merit for those moves.
Totally magical x
Had forgotten what an absolute gem of a song this was and what a performance.
now THERE is a man lost in a beautiful song.....truly epic
What a tune I’m 60 now. I’m old takes me back still makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck when I listen to this wow
You're not old! (says the 57-year one)
Wow....I was 11 when this song came out. Now I'm 53 👍👍👏👏😁😁
It's nice to see that 30 years later he still has his moves...!
Try …40 years later ….this was a hit in 1981………🥴
Preciosa cancion por muchos años que pasen siempre me gustará
After all those years and he still has the same dance routine :D I love it !
Still has today, and I really have no idea how those arms are still attached.. :D
the drums and light show PHENOMENAL
The drummer is AWESOME!!
Damn right he is...what guy .....the best
To me the greatest band of the 80's and still today.
A great version of a great number. The drums sound fantastic here.....
Absolutely the best pioneers of the synth music era and still standing out from the rest of them.
Such an End Credits song, it's unreal
Love the song. Love the band. Please take care of yourself.
I cry with joy when I hear this. The tears just flow...
You have to.give the drummer credit for his talent....
so true
Drummer is so fantastic it's unreal...he's the best

I find the 1981 live performance so much better. Drums give me goose bumps on that performance. Check it out.
I love this song since the beginning in 1981 and playing it till today. Think the drumming was inspired by Joy Division's Atmosphere -which was released at least 1/2 year before......
Holy shit, can't be anymore powerful than that
I was so impressed by both the song and video clip as an 8-year-old kid. And still, this song gives me goosebumps!
I recall when OMD first released this. I had heard of them, but their music was rarely played in the US until Maid of Orleans. The melody is haunting, and sticks in your head so that you must play it over and over and over and...
OMG still in 2022 a absolute MASTERPIECE! 👌 And all those synth sounds 😍 Andy is a cool guy, I like his energy on stage. Would love to see them live!
