I was born 1980 and got a childhood ridden with (small, but many) health issues and autism and got constantly bullied in school and at home. And yet, the 80s and early 90s I've had the most fun of my life... ok, maybe into late 90s too because I have had probably the best high school classmates in the world, and those 4 years between 1994 and 1998 have been fun, too. But after that, when I had to go to college and lose one friend after another due to relocations, marriages, etc I've got into a betting addiction combined with a depressive state that have lasted me for 12 years (2002 till 2014). I have even been close to suiciding a few times during those years when my life had been dull and all I had going for me have been video games and porn, all alone in my room for 12 years straight, including on my birthday, on Christmas, New Year and everything between these dates.... Anyway, I digressed a little, but the point is that the 80s have truly been magical, there's absolutely nothing in this world after mid-90s that can match the 80s and early 90s years when it comes to entertainment. Everything in music, movies, cartoons, fashion and people's attitude and carelessness oozed of energy, vitality, optimism and possibilities. EVERYTHING. Those lucky enough to have lived through the 80s and 90s know that that era had been special and would never trade those experiences, no matter how poor, for anything that's come after that. I mean, if I wouldn't trade those years of childhood and teenage with all of the issues I've had I'm pretty sure that others who have had it easier than me wouldn't either :)
I believe this was one the few best comments I've read in years that had restored even a smidgen of hope back into humanity. Thank you and to you as well!
lo dijo alguien por ahi , lo lamento por las nuevas generaciones que deben crecer con musica actual que son ofensivas y ruidosas no como estas melodias con las que crecimos los afortunados de los 80¨!!!!
*@sixtynine2856* That's what people believe who didn't actually live through the 80s. It was by no means mythical, with mass unemployment, strikes, demonstrations, Red Army Faction terrorism and the ever looming threat of global nuclear war. The only thing mythical or magical was the music. Because we needed an escape.
Eso mismo pienso, cuando escucho la música de los jóvenes de hoy, pura basura y muy poco que destacar. Feliz de poder haber disfrutado los 80's y 90's!!!
dont get me wrong i like this song thats why i am here listening to it. but i would still put almost every track on the first four albums above this one personally.
Yes! Although I knew lots of OMD songs I didn't ever really listen to them consciously. But this is a perfect 80s sound. The simple riffs have been in my head for a week now. Finding historic gold is always immensely satisfying.
To all the teens of today that some how made it here. Make your own 80's today just by doing this. Be your own creative self and believe in individualism. Don't copy others or worry about impressing them. Don't call, text or email people, go see them. It doesn't matter who they are. Last and most important, find someone to love not "something" and Make sure they know it. Do this and you'll make your own 80's memories!
all my old links of this favored video are now gone. So Virgin, now that you are claiming copyright on this music and video and aggressively monitoring your fans' videos; and causing fan accounts to be deleted, where is the money to be made? I'm a professional musician in the USA, and as much as I'm pro-union, I have to ask what your royalties are on this particular song by OMD. This is part of history. Let it go. Let us enjoy our memories.
Dublin in the 80s , sunshine radio- driving around with my dad. Lovely memories , great band 2024 still love them and the memories they bring ,48 now and play it alot ❤️
@@wisdom7119 easy, the new dictator leaders around the world want to control the population with lockdowns ( aka house arrest) what words your allowed to say, what u can eat ( do away w super size) what u can drive, ( do away w gas cars) when or when not to water your lawn ( supposed global warming), can't have large fam gatherings over the holidays, remember? Now we all know who is in charge now and what lunatic political party does this! This political party has phooked everything up and now the comedians are pushing back. Think of Dave Chappelle
It is because the most important moments that marked the rest of your life were lived in your youth listening to songs like this and they will be forever in your memory.....
Man, life goes by in a flash. As a teenager in the 80s, this song hit me so hard after a breakup that I thought I would never recover. Seems like eons looking back. What a classic. OMD will live forever ♥️
It was a hell of a complicated, having to walk in the rain to a phone box to make a call, or wait for the top 40 to start on a Sunday, with fingers ready on the play and record button. But at least we had 3 TV channels and they shut down at midnight and unless you were well off you didn't have a vcr in the early 80s, certainly didn't have one in my home till around 86
Yes, I was a 20 year old punker and it was 1 of the most exciting times of my life. I was the girlfriend of the lead singer of Minutemen. They hung out with Black Flag. I'm 66 now and I'm going to get a punk rock haircut tomorrow. I still wear a lot of black. Lol. And yes, my make up is still over the top. I wasn't hard core, but neither new wave. Right in the middle. So many great bands then right???
Kids nowadays would never believe we had a ball in the 70s and 80s listening to great music like this, punk and new wave and synth music, we were fortunate to be there. Come up screaming
These things always go wrong in The Twilight Zone and everywhere else. Good luck trying to stay alive in 1980s Afghanistan. Whether you're a Soviet soldier or Afghan resistance fighter.
Esta canción es un bello recuerdo de mi adolescencia en México 🇲🇽 cuando cursaba la secundaria y extraño a mis amigos y lo feliz que era cuando uno soñaba de como sería nuestro futuro y lo que me gustaba hacer en vida y extraño como me vestía en esa época de los 80.s pues en esos años hubo muchos grupos y géneros de música y nuestro México 🇲🇽 era muy diferente pues éramos adolescentes y no mirábamos la realidad de la Corrupción de nuestros políticos que nos saqueaban y robaban. Por eso la televisión era una forma de manipularnos de la cruda realidad de lo que los gobernantes nos inventaban en complicidad de los medios de comunicación. Pero solo me quedo con esos bellos recuerdos de mi adolescencia de O.M.D. que por cierto este vídeo se realizó en México 🇲🇽 y veo que están celebrando el día de Muertos y se me a figura que las calles parecen de Guanajuato pues parece que están en el festival Cervantino y al ver la calaverita con esa decoración uno sabe que son de nuestro México querido. Los 80.s la mejor década de todos los tiempos.🇲🇽💯♥️😎
Y porque mezclar la música con la política en México siempre a Sido corrupta asta la actualidad estás acomplejado y te fanatisas con la política y no es Guanajuato es una ciudad española y solo es una referencia al día de muertos
The eighties were a really tough time in my life. The creative and innovative music was what got me through it. OMD was one of my favorite bands from that era.
En el mismo momento de escribir este comentario estoy llorando de emocion y nostalgia por tiempos de infancia y recuerdos 😢😢estas obras de arte musicales no moriran jamas en los ❤ de quienes las amamos.
Acompaño tus sentimientos para unas muy conmovedoras palabras. Y con respecto a que "estas obras de arte musicales no morirán jamas en los ❤", hay que hacer todo lo posible para pasar todas "estas obras de arte musicales" a las próximas generaciones, inculcarles el gusto por esta grandiosa época musical que fueron los 80'
I would literally go back to the 80s in a heartbeat. Me and my best friend laying on her bed in the dark listening to OMD talking about being best friends forever.
I can't repeat it enough, the 80s was the best era in the entertainment in general, but the music was so amazing. We built memories with each and every great song, and those memories are coming up every time we listen to this amazing music. I also enjoyed seeing that many others feel the same way from the comments and enjoy the stories that are similar to ours or different beautiful 80s memories.
This is a very novel take. It’s very original. I am 100% sure that no one else feels the same way about their generation’s music or the music they came of age to. Thanks for this completely unique opinion!
Talk to me, don't lie to me Save your breath Don't look at me, don't smile at me Just close your eyes I was so impressed by you I was running blind I would fall for every trick Every twist of mind Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you Don't say your prayers, don't build your hopes Just walk away Don't phone me up, don't call around Don't waste your time You were so in awe of me You were so divine You would do just anything To still be mine Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you All the things you said to me I was so obsessed You were always talking, talking God, I did my best Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you Heaven is cold Without any soul It's hard to believe I was so in love with you I was so in love, I was so in love, I was so in love with you So in love with you
One of the best kiss-offs ever recorded, but the guy is bleeding on the inside. Brilliant track. OMD always sounded better without the video nonsense. They were that good.
When someone invents a time machine, I want you to take me to 80, and leave me forever. Every time I hear a song or see a video of that time, come to me a terrible nostalgia. Sorry for my English. Greetings from Argentina
+Reuben Binyamin Agreed. I know I was much younger in the 80's and people usually look back on their younger days as being better and brighter but...its not just me, life WAS better back then. Everything for the last 15 or so years is death and depressing and down and the music nowadays SUCKS!! I really long for the days when I could put on a radio station and hear great songs by artists of varying genres...M. Jackson, Prince, Bruce, INXS, U2, The Cure, The Cars, OMD, Depeche Mode, The Rolling Stones, B. Joel, Clapton....you name it and every genre had major stars having major hits. Now we have people with no talent who spend their time having hits by sampling works by the giants who came before them. Very sad.
Troy Owens Best comment I ever seen . Can't be more accurate . I'm with you since I love good & talent music . I'm sure that even heaven play 80's . long live 80's ! Thanks :)
You know what Unflush? You wanna say "Troy I know when people look back on what they consider ""their" music they always think it's better than what's out there today but you're overlooked alot of good stuff like so and so" But, that would be asking to much of you wouldn't it? No, you have to be a child whose all about putting people down and calling them "stupid" and retarded", etc. If you want to be a child then be a child someplace else because you have already proven you have the maturity of a 2- year old and I don't have time for bringing my conversation down to your level. Just collect your binky and your rattle and move along your merry way becasue you obviously lack the maturity (not to mention common sense and decency) to engage in adult conversation and I don't have time to waste someone as incredibly junvenile as you. BTW - very mature name you got there..let me guess "Unflushable doody" was already taken?
You'd "rather" have the mentality of a 2 year old? Don't you get it numb-nuts...it's not like you have a choice....you already HAVE the mentality of a 2 year old. Opps, I think I hear your mommy calling....time to change your diaper!!
Allan Fada......Have lived a very good life and very grateful, but the 80`s was all about Music, Being young, girls, Los Angeles, great times Oh and OMD!!!!!!
+agt462 I was a teenager in 1981 about to leave school growing up in Margaret Thatchers Britain where the only joy we had was the music and our friends. As much as OMD are not too bad, my groups were Madness, The Specials, all the 1969 trojan reggae music and of course Adam and the Ants 😊
Thank you England and thank you OMD for letting me dream everyday with your astonishing, unparalleled legendary music. What would have the world been without English music and without OMD? Only God knows, but I can tell you that during this unbelievable, unprecedented year, I have been able to review most of my LPs and CDs and OMD still keep their place in the Heaven of the music. Thank you so much Andrew, thank you so much Paul, please one day come to Rome (or do I have to wait for my next life?)
because of youtube, people still can listen and enjoy beautiful music like this which you cant get from mainstream radio now a days... piece of artwork for the ears.
I was 7. I'm a little envious, as it must've been the bomb to hit the club scene to this kind of music, but listening to it while growing up is still a treasured memory. I'll take it. :)
Existía un tiempo en que la melodía era más importante que lo visual, éso se perdió y los que lo vivimos agradecemos haber estado ahí, saludos a todos los ochenteros.
Muy cierto lo que comentas, antes era creatividad y mucho sientimiento, y lo que escuchábamos en esa época pues sentiamos la música realmente, temas como este donde son exquisitos para los oídos y el alma...... vivan los 80´s por siempre!!
Además de ello, los musicos tocaban los instrumentos, los cantantes tenían una excelente calidad vocal y afortunadamente no exiistían tantos softwares daw (Ableton, Logic Pro, Cubase, etc) con los cuales hoy solo basta grabar un chasquido de dedos, se repite en distintas pistas con diversos efectos y crean una canción. Saludos ochenreros de corazón
In the early 90’s, my late husband and I would put this CD in and drive around the countryside, just enjoying the moment and talent of OMD. Miss those days.
Quería buscar "música orquestal" sin querér abrí una canción random y antes de cerrarla me di cuenta de que la melodía era atrayente así que me quedé Temazo
Never really fully appreciated their talents at the time, but man do the songs hold up over time. Just listen to those synths, so uplifting. Just P E R F E C T Music Arrangements. They don't make records like this anymore. Sadly..
Agreed. That's because the industry took away 'uplifting' or 'feel good' music to steer us in another direction - downward. We need the other side of the scale back to once again achieve self-centeredness and/or a sense of balance. Add some depth, re-establish musical scope, credibility and timelessness and just maybe people might feel better with an improved soundtrack to life.
It's my first time hearing this and to me this track wouldn't sound out of place if released today. There are loads of Indie rock bands influenced by this 80s sound. The first thing that came into my mind hearing this was Arcade Fire.
the music was often amazing, but the world often sucked. enjoy that the music is here for you. you couldn't pay me to rewind the years and have to do that all over again.
I was born in '83. I have two older brothers, 6 and 9 years older than me. I watched/ listened to/ read/ wore/ ate whatever they did. I miss sitting in the living room with them while they/ we watched music videos on MTV. I know I was that annoying little brother, but they gave me an appreciation for things that were happening at the time like this song/ video that I would've never been clued into without their influence.
@Andres Padilla I was born in 69 and I feel that way about the 60's. Luckily, I lived through the 80's and I wouldn't trade that experience for anything.
Los 80's, para los que nos tocó vivirlos en nuestra niñez y adolescencia, una época maravillosa, donde éramos felices con tan poco (de verdad con tan poco y lleno de simpleza), cuando un simple silbido bastaba para invitar a los amigos a reunirnos y con un simple ahí los vidrios, era la forma de decirnos hasta mañana!!!, donde la música que nos gustaba y escuchábamos en la radio, la voz era más importante que saber quién o como era quien las interpretaba, donde los vídeos apenas y se vislumbraban, cuando con una grabadora de doble deck nos bastaba para amenizar a la pandilla en las banquetas, cuando existía tolerancia para los diferentes gustos musicales, ya que podíamos juntarnos y convivir la gente que gustaba de lo tropical, rock, pop y Disco. Donde la vida era eso...tan solo vida!!! Donde el amor y la amistad eran los valores más importantes, ya que eran tan cotidianos y no nos dimos cuenta, hasta que nos hicimos adultos, cuando el respeto hacia los mayores era de lo mas normal y correcto. (cosa que desgraciadamente no pasa hoy). Cuando las caricaturas empezaban a las 2 de la tarde y terminaban a las 7 y continuaban series divertidas y familiares. Cuando un par de carros de plástico nos bastaban para divertirnos en grande, construíamos carreteras y puentes en la tierra y/o arena. Crecimos viendo los aparatos electrónicos que iban evolucionando cada vez más y tomando desgraciadamente relevancia en el actuar de la niñez (sin saber que esa misma tecnología a los futuros niños los iba a hacer mas fríos y menos sentimentales, a como fuimos nosotros). Quisiera vivir eternamente en esta época tan maravillosa (dentro de mi corazón y mente), tantos amigos, tantos amores platónicos (ahora llamados crush), tantas risas, tantas experiencias, tantas personas, que sobreviven en nuestras memorias y pensamientos, tantos recuerdos, tantas alegrías y por que no también tantos tropiezos que aun en nuestros días, agradezco al creador haberlas vivido, ya que de ellos aprendí lo bueno y malo que hay en esta aventura llamada VIDA. Gracias Dios mío por esta música tan maravillosa!!! Un abrazo y que Dios los bendiga a todos los que hicieron favor de leerme!!! Su amigo STARDUST (Juan T) México.

Es todo tan cierto lo que dices...los 80s y 90s fueron maravillosos años...que la gente disfrutaba con las cosas simples de la vida...como la música!!!!
One my favorite 80s band! A true time machine for a piece of my heart that still lives in 1985. Why good music like this gone from today's MTV? Thanks God there is Classic MTV! I wish I could buy myself one of these 80s keyboards.
The 80’s was the best I am happy my childhood was in that era the keyboard that was used was the Yamaha DX7 true state of the Art instrument that the 80’s used!
GEEENIUUUUSSSSSSS....GEEEEENIOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSS..........lo que es el sonido....los escucho una y otra vez e imposible sentir cierta melancolía de esos tiempos...
savage 069 oh boy, here we go. World was shit to begin with. Honestly people are lucky that we were born these times, no slavery, no law against gay people. Be grateful you have RU-vid to even comment and listen to this song. Happy trails -A wandering 13 year old
Amo ésta canción por su música de los 80's y porque no podría ser cantada por nadie más que el original, la amo porque fue de mi tiempo de joven y porque amo los conjuntos Ingleses de los 80's, todos eran muy buenos y sus canciones así como ésta , muy lindas. gracias.
