After being a rockabilly through 1979/80 I then heard Enola gay and fell in love with synth music.This group helped change my life for the better and this tune was one of the greatest hits of the 80's. Whenever I see OMD live and they play this it just brings back some fantastic memories of the early 80's.How I would love to live those days again.Architecture and morality was such a tremendous album with so many fantastic tunes.

My favourite song of all times. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

Kudos to the director Steve Barron for this superlative MTV. Great storytelling that truly gives credibility and presence to this most wonderful OMD track.

[@paulbergkamp2181]

this is one of so many great hits from OMD , the 80`s rocked with this group , some eerie songs , some up beat , a vast difference in tracks over the years, OMD STILL POPULAR IN 2022

[@louisefox9642]

Omg one of the greatest hits of the 80s absolutely brilliant song🖒

I'm so glad that I was old enough to be living through this music when it was brand new, as a teen. Back in the days when we had cassette tapes, boom boxes, walkmans and parachute pants. I amassed a small collection about 200 CD's and 80 or so cassettes and only recently lost it in a repossessed storage unit.

I was once hired as a DJ at a wedding and they asked me to play a waltz for the newlyweds to dance to. I played this song and the whole wedding party cheered by the first sounds of it. Not to mention that the bride and the groom loved it, the dancefloor filled quickly and they all thanked me later especially for that stroke of genius to play Maid of Orleans instead of some classical piece (which I failed to bring to the party).

[@auntylulubulu]

This song is an absolute masterpiece. This synth intro is one of the best things I've ever heard

[@jda2525]

...as long as the generations of the 80s are still alive this music will never die! So, let's live forever....! ♾

Artistry. No one would have the balls to start a pop song like this anymore.

[@MrJonno85]

It was the New Romantic period so they could get away with the start.

[@wessexfox5197]

I love this song, along with Joan of Arc it’s almost its own sub-genre. It’s like medieval romanticism/nostalgia meets early 80s synth. Incredibly based.

[@bonniebickett4520]

I agree, however; why is the guy ( in the background , near the end) wearing a Star Trek shirt? LOL

[@redd605]

I always loved how the drum's went with this song

[@sigbertaltamirano6426]

@@bonniebickett4520 That's Andy Mclusky, the lead vocalist of OMD. Obviously you don't know the members of the band. Were you around during the 80's? He is wearing a sweatshirt that's all. It doesn't look like a star trek short to me.

[@VeI_2.0]

Beam me up, Scottt.

[@minnow4363]

One of the most underrated bands ever!

LYRICS: Joan of Arc had a heart Would she give it as a gift To such as me Who longs to see How an angel ought to be Her dream's to give her heart away Like an orphan on a wave She cared so much She offered up Her body to the grave

I searched for the lyrics, thank you :*

[@ingeborgkammer9307]

Tolle Melodie, die sehr schöne Erinnerungen weckt.

I grew up listening to this music. You can not beat it. I even remember when this video was first played.

[@sinisabosnic5071]

If you are watching this in 2024 you are timeless!

Early 1982 was the absolute peak of pop music IMO.

[@dkfavs]

Who could dislike this wonderful song???

[@Echo30Mike]

I was 10 when these came out. Loved it then, still love it now. OMD were way ahead of their time. Thanks for the great memories - and the ability to play this for the next 40 years.

[@castel129]

Sublime theme without a doubt, from my adolescence until the present moment I have never stopped listening to it. It is one of the most important topics in my life, with which I declared my only love, with whom I spent the best years of my life until I lost her in 2019, she is still in my heart but how much I miss her. She was and will be the only woman in my life. Thank you for uploading this pleasant melody that always transports me to the side of my beloved. Greetings from Barcelona Spain.
