Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Liberator (Audio)

[@terinhos]

OMD melodies, lyrics, beats... make part of my past, present and future life... the antidote to almost everything bad... I can feel the Liberator... in me... thank you OMD... what a precious tresor & tribute you offered to your fans & to the music.

[@tautliners]

OMD proved to be the best band ever, I saw them live in 1979 and still making great music that would shame the garbage in the charts now.

[@kyachdistent1301]

Swwetheart, a naff act like Bananarana 'Shame' the crap that is in the non-existent charts right now and right now covers 4 decades and coutning!

[@MelindaDH143]

Pure joy for my ears and brain!!! Dancing around my home with a glass of wine on a Monday night = winning!

[@shannonhughes7876]

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING - this is a treasure and just transported me back to high school. Fantastic track, I am so thankful to have this in my life!

[@palaciodamemoria3122]

Good music is the one that takes you from where you are. OMD always did it easily.

Die beste Synthpop-Band aller Zeiten

[@lunarcamel8404]

Totally blown away by this song. Really almost speechless, this is just insanely incredible! What an awesome treat. Thank you OMD!

[@leonerdothe13th32]

This is awesome....saw OMD on the last tour and was simply blown away.

[@emmettoc96]

Saw them in Dublin, they’re unbelievably good live!!!!

[@O1Richard]

Probably a missed opportunity with this song today, had it been a single released in 1985 it would have been a top 10 hit for sure. I can’t stop listening to this fantastic tune. Hopefully an all new album from you guys in the next year or so. Congrats 🥳 on the 40 years.

Oh, Andy, what a gift you have to throw a haunting hook into the mix. Romance Of The Telescope, Sealand, Shes Leaving, etc., they stay with us..timeless.

[@carmelomontes5200]

OMD, formidables cómo siempre. No se puede esperar menos de un conjunto mítico como ellos. Otro tema de tantos otros que lleva su sello inconfundible. Y en especial, la voz de Andy McCluskey.

On a warm Sunday right at the end of summer I find this Gem. Takes me flying back to a warmer early summer in 84 running home to play Junk Culture on the family hifi. Nostalgia of the highest level but also a superb pop song for any decade. You clever devils !!! Please keep on digging out these old C60’s 😜😜

This Song could be this year 2nd Chistmas Song. At 2:00min, if i close my eyes i can also hear like if Elvis could sing that part!

[@carmelomontes5200]

Para mi humilde opinión, OMD(Maniobras Orquestales en la Oscuridad, en Español), el mejor grupo de música con diferencia. Me considero un auténtico fanatico de esta enorme banda. Y hay suficientes razones para esta afirmación: letras, música, interpretación, vídeos, conciertos en directo, puesta en escena, compromiso con su público, profesional idas, presencia e imagen de sus componentes... Podría seguir añadiendo más razones una tras otra. Por siempre OMD . Un abrazo abrazo muy fuerte para sus componentes y, para todos sus seguidores. De todo corazón desde España❤❤.

[@imogenbebb9571]

Classic OMD

[@kingjulien8699]

Great song! Love the drum sound and the driving rhythm.

[@LuluxM3za]

wow great song!!!! xxxx

[@reginanaaijer9220]

My good morning song for today! 🎶😀

[@am20270]

It is classic OMD era 1984, very close to the B-Sides of "Junk Culture" like "Her Body in my Soul". As it was recorded in February 1985, it is from the recordings for the follow up album before they took Stephen Hague on production duties, who completely changed their sound . This collection of unreleased stuff is going to be amazing!!!!

[@angelawill7440]

Simplemente perfect 😍😍😍

What a fucking belter. The backing vocal chirrups, the rolling, panning drums, the chorus coming in like finding a clearing in a forest, the Elvis-esque bridge, the choir of stringy synths...jesus, this is ridiculous.

Ah lad's, your starting to really spoil us now. First you give us Don't go, now this brand new track. Looking forward to the release of Souvenir. I have seen the track listing wiith every single released up to and including , Don't go. Hopefully, this gem might be included before production. Would be a fantastic addition, unless of course, this is the b-side to Don't go. Great work as usual lad's !!!

[@OMDOfficial]

This is a previously unreleased song which OMD recorded in 1985. It features on the unreleased material disc of the forthcoming Souvenir boxset.

[@arturofigueroa2287]

amo ésta canción! I fell in love with a liberator She kept me waiting four hours later She screams and shouts and she tells me lies But she gets away with her steel blue eyes I fell in love with a girl in black She's far away but I want her back She seldom calls and she never writes I think of her almost every night I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love I gave my love to a liberator And they say that love will make you greater It's just a lie to keep you down To make you swim when you wanna drown If Christmas comes ten times a year It wouldn't even dry one tear At times like these I do my best And cry with one more last request I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love And she'll never, never ever know That I'll never, ever let her go And she'll never, never even care If she turns around, and I'm not there I fell in love with a liberator Seems I gave my heart to a generator She burns and burns and she hurts best Oh it'd break my heart if I had one left I've tried and tried but I can't explain It's not a feeling I'll have again But if God Almighty looked down on me I wouldn't ask him, "Set me free" I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love I surrender, I surrender I will surrender to your love And she'll never, never ever know That I'll never, ever let her go And she'll never, never even care If she turns around, and I'm not there

[@ricardokool1]

very good

[@culturalstudiesenglish3971]

Why didn't this appear on the Liberator album? It actually came between Junk Culture and Crush. It is highly redolent of Junk Culture, could easily have fitted on the eclectic Crush, been a really strong B-side or even a stand-alone single. So much lost treasure to look forward to on the Souvenir boxset...

[@sunsetman22]

apparently it was meant to be there (hence the album title) but it was never finished

[@charlesyates4230]

How many more of these unreleased gems are hidden away in the OMD archives? Get them out in the open boys - let the enjoyment continue for a little longer. Looking forward to getting the Souvenir box set & seeing you in Oxford later this year......

[@kyachdistent1301]

FINALLY the long lost song I needed to add to "Architecture & Morality's" running time so the album has 9 instead of 8 songs. God these guys are paltry when it comes to numbers on albums, 10 is just too much for them an album. It's not as if they don't have the extra songs as this proves. Now I just hope that the 40th Anniversary edition of "Dazzleships" ousts a hidden extra that is an actual SONG, not another useless instrumental or sample of clocks chiming, steamers blasting, hammers banging etc. Bet it won't, but even so, it means I'll only have 1 OMD album with just 8 songs on it-but note '4-Neu' had to be added to make it 8, which should have been on album anyway as (a) you can't have an album with less than 8 songs & (b) it's Paul sung so should be on there anyway!

Dear OMD. you were doing great, until you brought God into the picture. God is a gentlemen, if you don't want to be set free, He won't do it. it is a gift you need to accept. so those lyrics spoils the premise of this song a bit. maybe someday you may read this comment, and consider a recant. I pray.
