I love this beautiful song whenever I hear it... and no matter if it is 1984 or 2021 the magic is still there...never forget the 80's, when music was true.. and I will be always an 80's girl❤️

keine Ahnung ob du meine Antwort noch nach 9 Monaten sehen wirst, aber bei mir dasselbe. Mein Vater hat mich damals um die 1995 in diese Musik eingeführt. Damals noch CDs 😲Heute hat er Demenz, OMD ist aber nach wie vor etwas, was ich auch nach fast 30 Jahren immer noch super gerne hören.

[@eddieparris2803]

Their music makes me think of times when I was young when I was in love. Those days are long since gone, but these songs really take me back.

[@antonboludo8886]

Those moments are still in your heart.

[@waynespencer3036]

Exactly the same for me too. It’s amazing how a song can make us time travel back to happy times.

[@nomedescgm6330]

2023 and still magic song. Thanks OMD.

[@antonboludo8886]

Absolutely!

There is something about this song that just makes you pine for this era. If only... if only... if only. Someone said it below... "it makes your heart melt".

Andy's gentle, graceful voice is like a balm for the soul, and they both look so young, bless them :) As big as they were, I still find OMD criminally underrated

I like criminally equally rated

[@lisaelwell8086]

Absolutely stunningly beautiful song. I could listen over and over again x

[@edwardwilliammorris1340]

How beautifully and thoughtfully music was made in the 80s . Mod are so unique ❤

[@djtoman6875]

This is one of the catchiest, sweetest, purest pop songs ever written and conceived. My heart melts like butter every time I hear it, and I've never stopped listening to it since 1985. Just pure beauty and genius that transports me to a simpler time when all we had to fret about was the Russians nuking us. Beyond Lennon and McCartney, in my opinion the greatest song writing duos of the last 40 years are Difford and Tilbrook (Squeeze) and McCluskey and Humphries.

[@truckingscouser]

I always think the outro sounds like kids in a school playground (the cacophony of sound of those kids) but when I play it and listen to it, it doesn't, I just think it does when I think of the song without listening to it, if you get my drift

[@StMichael7]

Actually in the 80s President Reagan has peace negotiations with the president of the Soviet Union. They agreed the freeze of nuclear weapons. They even later became like friends. Reagan believed in talking to everyone including enemies

[@Muckylittleme]

@@StMichael7 The threat of nuclear war was very real in the 80's. We had government information films , school drills, CND protests and anti nuclear war programs like threads. I'm pretty sure you didn't experience the 80's

[@scottbuchanan1]

I worked in a department store in Brisbane, Australia in the 80's. They used to play this song 5 minutes before closing time each day :)

[@peterzilak3833]

Wonderful pm. store closing music. I can picture employees preparing to plan out their evening and customers making last minute purchases.

[@japan906]

Lucky you. What a lovely way to see both customers and colleagues as well as yourself off. Andy, Paul clearly love “The Wizard of Oz”(1939). How could you not? Pure honesty, humility, humor and love dispensed. Generations apart, yet beautifully tied together.

Was in my 20’s and in college in the eighties…it was a magical time, we just didn’t realize it at the time. I had many dreams for my life back then, and they all came true. It’s just ironic that I pine for those days now, and back then I was striving for the life I have now!

[@kenneth1767]

We should have an 80s reunion on a big farm somewhere in the world and have OMD there for a few days.

[@matthewroberts3374]

Fantastic song, stands up today as it did back then. An amazing band and pioneers in Electronic music. Thanks to them and others like them, we have the most extensive spectrum of music at our fingertips. #OMD were game changers and visionary.

Grew up in the 70's and teenager in the 80's and heard and played this numerous times but honestly never seen this video before.

[@mop714]

From the start of the 80s I was a fan of OMD and 40 years on, still am a fan. Andy, Paul, Malcolm, Martin are talented in so many fields, and it was great to see them at Sheffield early 80s. Their shows are fab, and the energy, especially Andy dancing/passion great (where does he get his stamina?). One of the best concerts I have been to, never stopped dancing. Leeds Festival in 2021, where OMD will be playing among other 80s bands ie. ABC, Heaven 17,Sister Sledge, Howard Jones, Tony Hadley, Kim Wilde, T`Pau, The Beat etc. will be on. Go OMD!

[@davidanderson3586]

Their songwriting was very underrated I think, another great song from their long list.

Jennifer Griffithe I want to go back to 1972-when my big brother got his first record player, I was 5 and sooo excited :-)

[@jennifergriffithe118]

What songs were played?

[@stephenlee3153]

Among the first records my brother bought (or at least the ones I remember) were C moon by Paul McCartney,Suzanne beware of the devil by Dandy Livingstone, Shaft by Isaac Hayes, Jeepster by T Rex and Brand new key by Melanie :-) Ah memories!! I remember one afternoon I'd been playing his records when he was out and when he returned he knew I'd been playing them. I couldn't understand how he knew-I'd made sure I switched it off. He told me later it would be a good idea not to leave a different record on the turntable! 1976 was a good year too-what brings back best memories for you?
