I close my eyes and this melody makes me want to cry... The memory of the time of innocence... Where we lived in a world, certainly imperfect, but where the hope of a better tomorrow pushed us to open our eyes and get up... Today I enjoy this music, the pain of seeing this world destroyed... And the hope that the future will become again as in this "souvenir" ❤️🙏
To me this is their best track ever. I love all OMD music but this holds a very special place for me. At the time of its release I was in the most brilliant relationship with a young lady and even now 42 years later when I hear this I am taken back to those wonderful years we had together. Happy days :-)
Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark _Souvenir_ (1981) It's my direction It's my proposal It's so hard It's leading me astray My obsession It's my creation You'll understand It's not important now. My situation It's imagination There's no excuse It's instantly a game The conversation The combination I tell the truth My feelings still remain All I need is Co-ordination I can't imagine My destination My intention Ask my opinion But no excuse My feelings still remain.
Loved this since I 1st heard OMD back in 1980. my favourite Paul Humphreys song, besides Forever Live n Die.. the man is a genius!. Still listening to OMD today.. but I do miss Mal Holmes...
Makes me happy too Karla. I was 20 in 1980 and i.mey a girl that went away only to come back after 40 years. We still have the 80's to bring us together today and I'm loving it. 😘
Fakt, dodatkowo bryan ferry slave to love extended toto- africa (podobno nawet kontynent nazwali na cześć tej piosenki) extended PS: + OMD: So in Love Enola gay If you leave me We love you :)
The opening ah,ah ah,ah takes me back to 1981 The rifleman public house on the Fratton road in pompey and this coming on the wurlitzer style jukebox and remembering looking across the bar wondering what is this sound.
