Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at another reaction made possible via PATREON with OMD Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark with (Forever) Live and Die. OMD gets on the right track with this song, all the keyboards, and lush vocals. I think this is the one! See my react now!

[@lutrabee]

Souvenir from OMD, so simple but so haunting, it will probably keep staying in your mind for a while.

[@diksken]

My favorite OMD song.

[@annesmith2259]

Their early stuff is the best, Souvenir, Joan of Arc, Maid of Orleans, Electricity, Messages, Genetic Engineering….

[@mgparis]

Dreaming, If You Leave...

[@LexusLFA554]

I have heard a lot of them, very good band.

[@Katsumoto893]

I agree. My song selection is different, however. The Messerschmitt Twins, Stanlow, The Romance of a Telescope, Sealand, Genetic Engineering, Of All The Things We've Made, The Beginning And The End...

[@tinkler4]

Oh yeah Souvenir my jam! Lol

[@jonathanmcdonagh5042]

Absolutely. Very influential group many people don’t know just how many of these groups actually came out of the 70s Japan Ultravox OMD and Kraftwerk obviously go way back but all contributed to the 80s movement vastly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ricardorossi8207]

This is also one of my 100 songs of all times. WONDERFUL!!!

[@willsdoc]

Often train to their ‘Best Of…’ and it blows me away just how many absolute bangers they recorded.⭐️

[@LexusLFA554]

You actually did a song I wanted without me asking lol. Still waiting for a-ha --> Stay on these Roads 🙏

[@en6278]

OMD have about 30 classic pop songs & I have them all on my playlist. Its just catchy unique gem after gem. They are one of the greatest synth pop bands of all time. True pioneers.

[@stevepalmer2214]

Love OMD. So many great songs. Souvenir, Electricity, Enola Gay are all great 80s tracks. Walking on the Milky Way is a fab 90s song too worth checking out. One of a very few number of bands who continue to make great tunes to this day. Punishment of Luxury and Isotype are two killer tracks from the last couple of years too.

[@luislaplaza9660]

Definitely it is time to go with Souvenir, Dereck. U won't regret. How can the unic use of the synths make you fly.

[@thomasluttkus9956]

One of the most infectious hooks of all time

[@EmpressTouch]

'(Forever) Live And Die' is exactly the right OMD song to review. One of the greatest MID instrumentals ever (arguably), with great songwriting and compassionate vocals to match. A pleasure to see you enjoying this.

[@buchholtzmathieu1810]

Thanks a ton! A treat, one of my best loved OMD's tracks after my fav by far which is "Maid of Orleans". This group did 90% of gems. Love hugely the ton of their voices.

[@franticrage73]

So In Love is another great choice.

[@JackMellor498]

Speaking of Liverpool new wave, you gotta check out China Crisis at some point. Underrated AF new wave duo from around the same time. Their second and third albums (Working with Fire and Steel, and Flaunt the Imperfection) feature some of the genuinely sweetest new wave I’ve ever heard.

[@syssyviv3593]

My favorite song of OMD : Secret...so beautiful !!!!

[@jacintavanberkel8033]

I seem to appreciate these songs even more after seeing you react. The best reaction channel on You Tube from what i have seen. You deserve so many more subscribers.

[@carlosmodegahan4455]

If you like this one, you will love the song “Secret” one of their early greatest hits. It was very commercial in the 80’s.

[@xanner_hates_jazz]

Some of the best OMD-Songs are B-Sides like "Gravity never failed", "Concrete Hands", "Navigation", "4-neu", "Sugar Tax" etc.

[@space__idklmao]

OMD B-sides are better than most A-sides

[@mariflame1821]

Love OMD! My favorite song by them is "So in Love"

[@gem3614]

“If You Leave” is my favorite OMD tune. Probably most well known hit of their’s here in the US! It is from the movie Pretty in Pink. Also another great soundtrack!

[@syssyviv3593]

Pretty in pink by psychedelic furs.... Great -_-

[@etainafuzz]

Hard to believe that "If You Leave" was written in one evening in extreme urgency. They had gone to LA, originally, to present a different song to John Hughes, who had called and asked them to write a track for the Pretty in Pink end credits. The night before John Hughes called them and said he changed his mind and wanted for their song to be in a specific scene in the movie and explained the scene to them. They realized the song they had spent months on and brought to present was not going to work for that scene so they took that evening and wrote "If You Leave" for the movie.

[@andimusicjunkie3990]

Oh yes, thank you, this song means so much to me. It was one of the few songs in English that my father loved... And congratulations for 120 k subs... 👍

[@matthewpace5834]

My favourite band ever.

[@vlas_sc]

i love OMD!!!

[@nickkruger9566]

Lush!

[@brucedillinger9448]

I remember going to my local big box music store not long after OMD dropped this album and they were playing something from it on their sound system. I was instantly enchanted! I asked the young clerk who it was. With an obvious aire of condescension and a look that could break glass she replied "OMD". Unfazed, I bought the cd. A fan ever since. ✌

[@stevehulse4005]

One of the few singles where Phil Humphreys took the lead vocals instead of Andy McCluskey. One of my favourites from their later releases. 👍

[@MrSDI2975]

Souvenir is the best one of his

[@zeeldaazoonk]

Oh god this beautiful song !!!

[@heaventaste]

My favorite of OMD!

[@jasontaverner391]

A perfectly crafted pop song.

[@denplummer7191]

Just to let you know Derek ABBA'S new song is out this Friday, it's called JUST A NOTION. Oh and I also love OMD another brilliant band.

[@mikestagraming]

This one has always reminded me Of the BeeGees circa 1987

[@Cybus2006]

Great reaction thank you! You would like Pandora's box from 1991! x

[@0ConkersBadFurDay0]

My favourite OMD song 😍👍

[@paulbullas2126]

Best live band on the planet still today

[@marcodebrabander5751]

love this song

[@Anditover]

This song still sends shivers down my spine after 40 years. The hook "I wanna know, I wanna know..." just glides up the scale and takes you with it. Yep, good comparison to The Pet Shop Boys. Good choice.

[@coyotej4895]

Pains of red-hot nostalgia in a song.

[@dionsliman7676]

I'm glad you like this

[@chrisstones1249]

Just found your channel ,wow .you have a new fan .from England 🤗💎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@shannonhailey7187]

Definitely check out "Electricity"

[@SoftKitteh]

Love OMD. And brass was SO big in the 80s among all sorts of bands. It's part of the sound of the times. Excellent.

[@RealBlast3]

Thank you, so much, Dereck! Your reaction meant the world to me! I'm so glad you loved this! And that I redeemed myself with this choice after requesting 'Tesla Girls'! 'Forever Live and Die' is the track that made me a OMD superfan, so I knew that since you loved 'Enola Gay' that you would have to love this, too! But I was a bit nervous after 'Tesla Girls' LMAO! But that one doesn't really sound like their others. And spot on with the ABBA comparison! Probably why I love them so much and this song, in particular. And they have many others in this wheelhouse, as well, in term of sound.

[@jenn8557]

Thank you for reacting to this song...it reminds me of gazing at my crush from across the high school campus.

[@deborahpaley21]

I LOVE this OMD song. They are amazing. They started out pretty early in the synthpop category, '81ish. Really unique.

[@dionsliman7676]

Listen to watch us fall

[@walterw9829]

So good I had to listen twice. They have others that are fab.

[@MrsAdely]

Paul Humphrey! 🤩

[@DavidMartinez-ck6jp]

Check out the extended version...

[@jonathanmcdonagh5042]

lol I’ve got this single on vinyl great group. Can’t talk about 80s without them actually helped bring music from late 70s into the 80s very important group

[@franticrage73]

Thank you for liking this song. I was worried after Tesla Girls that maybe the group is not for you. Love this song. You should check out Dreaming.

[@hectorayala5571]

One of the best New Wave bands from the 80s

[@gedkenyon6665]

You like that. Take a listen to the album it's from... The Pacific Age.... I love OMD.

[@toycharger]

This song and all of the other songs from the Pacific Age album are all amazing!!!

[@eduardooscar309]

hi Dereck! two comments: 1) I hope that You do a reaction to "Live and let Die" (1973) by Paul McCartney & Wings the famous soundtrack of the homonimus James Bond movie 2) next Friday 22 finally will be released "Just a Notion" after more than 40 years that ABBA recording it in Voulez Vous sessions, but never released until now

[@Muckylittleme]

Far too few people react to OMD, they have some great songs.

[@nachotorres3506]

tenés que escuchar Pandora box de OMD la versión original

[@petegtorcan]

High-school dances flashback Lol

[@eggy1962]

If you like their percussion……Sailing on the seven seas…….is a must

[@slimlouis6441]

OMD has DOZENS of amazing tracks. Idk why anyone would suggest you start with Tesla Girls, lol. I love SECRET, Milky Way, Maid Of Orleans, Electricity, Messages …. So many.

[@RealBlast3]

Dereck didn't start with Tesla Girls, he started with Enola Gay. And I guess you never fell in love with a song that others didn't? I selected Tesla Girls because when I saw the video for it here, it blew me away and made me cry, as I explained in the comments for the reaction video. I was unaware at the time that others didn't feel the same way.

[@retrogamer82]

Synthpop 😎

[@colonelpeppers199]

Souvenir has to be next , an absolute epic song

[@etainafuzz]

Dereck, if you think their songs are great you should see them live. They are one of the best live bands and put on fantastic shows. Andy's dancing is rather fun and ummm...interesting to watch. They are headed back to the US next May for their 40 anniversary hits tour.

[@andymcnaughton1969]

It has nothing to do with ABBA it's omd pure and simple they is no comparison your listening to the most amazing band that ever was, and they are still rocking the show.

[@That_80s_Geek]

One of my favorites also try Secret. Amazing as well.

[@barduzoiudocanal0009]

Brasil

[@kr4573]

Dereck, i remember when I first join your channel you had 39k followers, because of Mylene you have now two times more followers. (120k). Congrats. You should do two Mylene reactions per week. You still have 50 official videos/live performances to catch up. Cheers up bro.

[@DereckReacts]

Thank you ❤️

[@kr4573]

@@DereckReacts Mylène Tuesday - Mylène Thursday !

[@Pegasaxks]

Dereck, welcome to our 80s ! Another song of a very similar style is : " Deep wide and tall " from Aztec Camera. Check it ! You don't will be dissapointed.-

[@Toonheartache]

Derek love your reviews so informative. Have you not done OMD best ever single SOUVENIR one of the best ever synth songs of all time .please listen to I and review you won't be disappointed.

[@Reani71]

Tesla will challenge you to a dance-off for giving him the wrong name.

[@niviaalmeida6833]

Please reaction ..... bee gees song ....live or die, , beautifull song!!!

[@kingjulien8699]

Hm....how ist it possible that all these guys never heart all these songs before? They are still being played on lots of radio Stations all over the world. Im in doubt, sorry...

[@space__idklmao]

Speaking of “Abbaesque,” try the Erasure album of the same name

[@LexusLFA554]

I know he is singing "I never knew why" in the refrain but I can't hear any of it xD

[@Mrgregmav]

This is actually one of their weakest songs! If you want to listen to OMD at their best check out "Maid of Orleans"!!!

[@andrinafriberg7098]

Hi PLUS du a reaction on the masker singer and thefatrat och Marc Anthony 🤗😊😌😱☺️🙂😂🤣😄😀😍🥰🤩❤️👍👋
