"I don't believe in miracles. I don't believe in truth. I don't believe that anything can recreate your youth." Bitter-sweet anthem with bitter-sweet lyrics. OMD at it's best.

Das Lied ist so wunderschön. Ich hörte es schon gerne in meiner Kindheit❤

My younger brother died, age 33, april gone -and this was the b-side to OMD on tape. We sung it so much. I miss him. Hard. I would rather be dead than miss him this much.

He wouldn't want you dead or suffering if he loved you as much as you loved him. I'm sure he would want you to be happy and live your life to its fullest. I lost my mother and she is with me every day.

Andy McCluskey is a gifted singer/songwriter. He has the rare ability to write reflective songs - yet with an upbeat slant to them. This was when Andy took full control - the shift to complete pop music. OMD are 1 of the best bands to come out of the UK. Still so underrated. Andy still has so much energy on stage. Amazing performer too. That McClusky shuffle 🕺

I re-discovered this song 3 years ago like it had been waiting in a hidden part of my brain all these years. It was like meeting an old friend you grew up with whom you hadn't met for over 20 years. I have had this happen only a few times before. Always by Erasure was another gem that I rediscovered.

[@1089108]

How was this not a massive worldwide #1 smash? Unbelievable. One of the best records of the 90s.

[@AnyOldSite]

Radio stations didn't play it because they wanted more Britpop and stuff. It's an upsetting read.

[@themoores9817]

I always say to my husband the only problem with OMD, is their intelligence . Their music was almost too good, hence they never got the number one singles which many of their songs deserved. Because all their songs were so strong and so perfect( I do have a soft spot for sailing on the seven seas)

[@rickogden204]

@@themoores9817 As a 57 year old man their songs released around the early 80's ..Joan of arc, Souvenir, Maid of orleans, electricity, defined a lot of what i went through in my turbulent teens and I always turned to their LP Architecture and Morality to give me some quiet time when the the hormones were running rampant. Now at 57 years old I play those songs and chill and reflect on the stupid decisions I made but cannot undo and I smile. At least I was born in a time that OMD existed.

[@bilbrook31]

Being young, a gift we don't value till it has left us...brilliant song.

[@rickogden204]

i am 58 years young and I walk to my local gym and back every day. I listen to OMD to remind me of my youth and I do not regret a single stupid thing I did in my teens. I drink alcohol and I smoke. I married once at 24 years old and have 4 children and 3 grandchildren. We divorced when she discovered the green grass on the other side of the fence. Had multiple jobs including hard labor. So I do value my youth because i THINK i EXPERIENCED MOST OF IT. I also broke my femur in 2019 and that is not good when you get older. But when I was younger I watched Bagpuss, the Clangers, captain pugwash, noggin the nog and Rhubarb, I also watched as Voyager flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and sent back pictures to Earth. So many things I did not mention., I think I was really lucky to have been born in 1966 and to have seen the things I have seen.

[@JasonAshworth]

Fantastic track. I bought this when it was released in 1996 in the UK charts.

[@ManicMindTrick]

You know it was only at the very end, when my mother's body was riddled with cancer and she knew she was about to die I truly understood the depth of her love for me. Even in her pain, in her weariness, in her hopelessness, she thought of me first. She was more worried about how her death would affect me than she was about her own final moments on earth. It makes me cry every time I think of it. At her funeral, I played a version of M83 - Outro I made especially for her. I wish you could hear it. A mother should never bury their child.

[@jackdmacbain]

It has such a bitter sweet feeling to it, this song. I think it's something anyone under forty is unable to feel. The bitter sweet memories of a wild youth. The friends who didn't make it this far with you. The beauty and excitement of being young, the thrill of new experiences, finding love. The mistakes you make when you're young, some of which stay with you for the rest of your life. I felt immortal when I was a teenage kid. It was only as I got a older that some of my friends died, my brother was killed. I'm acutely aware of my own mortality now. Live life to the full & have fun when you're young. There's plenty of sadness, loathing and fear in life so live hard & fast & loose when your young 😱💀
