If you just react to the movie Pretty in Pink you’ll hear some great music by Psychedelic Furs, New Order, INXS, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths, Suzanne Vega and this song by OMD. Love when you hit the 80’s!
If you watch "maid of orleans" read up about joan of arc first so you understand the video Great song and great video th-cam.com/video/unrEYf79ne0/w-d-xo.html
Yes! Their songs like Enola Gay (about WWII), Apollo XI & 88 Seconds in Greensboro also encouraged one's education of important historical events. They caught you with the beat and thankfully enmeshed thoughtful & intelligent lyrics.
Jayvee, please react to Forever(Live And Die) the 12” Extended play version!! Please! You are my absolute favorite reactor to music. Genuine and honest feedback.
Simple as the Cold War, the Nuclear Menace, the AIDS, the fall of Berlin Wall, the "star wars", the famine in Africa, Chernobyl, the Lebanon War, the Iran-Irak War, Lybia, first Intifada, dictators paid by the USA... YEAH! Easier and colorful... Sarcastic mode:off
Whooot whoooot! Aaawww my teenage yrs. PRETTY IN PINK! (Actually my preteen yrs even) if you are into 80s teen movies and have not seen Pretty in Pink, its an 80s classic.
The number of key changes in this song is pretty amazing. If you were to try that with most songs, it wouldn't work well. But, it worked well for this one and they wrote this within 24 hours. Pretty amazing.
One of my favourite bands as a young teen in the early 80s. 😍 'Joan of Arc', 'Maid of Orleans', 'Talking Loud and Clear' and, especially, 'ENOLA GAY' ' are all essential listening for you, Jayvee. 👍
This was their biggest pop hit, but OMD's early stuff is where it is at... "Enola Gay", "Electricity", "Genetic Engineering", "Telegraph", "The Romance Of The Telescope","Joan Of Arc", "Joan Of Arc (Maid Of Orleans)", etc. etc... such a great band.
Finally some recognition for OMD!! Maid Of Orleans, Forever (Live And Die), Sailing On The Seven Seas, Walking On The Milky Way are just a few of some absolute must
Architecture & Morality was their iconic and now influential album from the early 80's. It proved that synthesizers were not cold and mechanical, they could be used to orchestrate warm and beautiful melodies. Check out the three singles from the album, Souvenir, Joan of Arc and Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc).
OMD is one of my favorite bands from the 80’s and beyond. I still see them in concert to this day 🎶 🎵😎 Check out these OMD songs: Secret, ‘Tesla Girls, Locomotion, So in Love 😻🥰😍🙌🏼
OMD is 80s synthesizer dance magic sprinkled with emotional love. They still tour. I fell in love with them in the early 80s when my cousin DJ'd in college radio and brought the demos back home to share way before they were ever heard on the radio.
This was a huge eighties hit! It was on the soundtrack of one the biggest movies of the decade, Pretty In Pink! Saxophones were huge in eighties music! I love this song...takes me back to my teen years!❤️❤️
For my 12th birthday my dad took me to see Pretty in Pink and this song became my favorite for a long time. It will ALWAYS make me think of the movie and want to watch it. It was a good one.
To my mind the best synth band of the 80's, 'Architecture And Morality' still a great listen, 'Enola Gay', 'Souvenir'. 'Electricity', 'Maid Of Orleans' and 'Forever Live and Die' should be on the agenda also.
Best band in the world OMD. Seeing them in concert in New Zealand at the end of the year. Come on! Its got to be "Maid of Orleans" to sample next and "Forever Live and Die".
Wow! One of the songs from the soundtrack of my early 20s. So many faces flashing before my eyes. This song always puts a lump in my throat. I love this song for that.
When OMD was approached by John Hughes to suggest one of their songs for Pretty In Pink, they selected one called "Goddess of Love". Unfortunately the test audiences hated it, so they wrote If You Leave in less than 24 hours. It then went on to hit the top 5 in the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
Kinda right. The movie had a different ending which goddess of love was written for where Ducky ends up with Andi. The test audience hated the ending and so they reshot it and Blaine ended up with Andi. They needed a new song for the new ending and If You Leave was written and recorded in 24 hours.
@@AnUnseenRuler Yes you're 100% right, that's the more detailed explanation. I was just trying to emphasize that writing If You Leave in 24 hours was a hell of an accomplishment, especially when it went on to do so well in several countries.
@@AnUnseenRuler you'll notice Andrew's hair in the ending was a wig because he had been doing a play and had to shave his head so when it was decided to change the ending he had two wear a wig lol I always thought his hair was strange in the final scene
Oh yes, OMD and their Pretty in pink song. I saw them live in 2017. :D Enola Gay, Maid of Orleans, Sailing on the seven seas, Tesla girl (from the Weird Science OST), Talking loud and clear, Locomotion, Walking on the milky way, Dreaming. And "We love you", one of my favorite OMD songs. Listen to them all Jayvee. :D
Enola Gay and Pandora’s Box are my favourite to tracks by this band who I’ve seen a few times love including their 40th Anniversary tour a few years ago
Their old stuf is great but their new stuff (they're still performing and recording) is just as good. Try 'Punishment of Luxury' or 'Pulse' for starters! For the old stuff you can't go wrong with almost any of the recommendations in the comments.
Music ever evolves as life does, that’s why we love it. No One ever interprets the same song twice the same, (As like any form of art). But music and song actually give voice to our hurts, needs, longing, pain, as well as jubilation, excitement, wonderment, fear, lust, base urges. A song can be relayed in any voice, carried across borders, translated into any language unlike any other form of the other arts. I’ve always promised myself that I would never say, or start with the hint of the statement or implication of the words “Back in my day”. Life grows, changes, evolves and ever expands to something greater. You can’t do this while clinging on singly to the past, the present, or the future. You must be able to do all at once with Love, Patience, Acceptance And Hope. My God! I Love Music!
OMD still going strong today, will be seeing them live in a few months. Would recommend Electricity, Enola Gay, Souvenir, Joan of Arc, Maid of Orleans, Locomotion, Tesla Girls, Dream of Me and Pandora's Box.
One of the great things about the 80s, you couldn’t make a movie with a signature song for the soundtrack. Credit to Valley Girl and Fast Times for setting the bar for the rest of the decade.
Finally you found OMD... my all time favorite Band. Check out 'Talking Loud And Clear', 'Maid Of Orleans', 'Enola Gay', 'Metroland', there are so many others...
At last! THANK YOU!!! I love you for this! This song might be the most popular in the USA but is not of his best. For real! My first ever live concert at my 16 with the gig for the album "Dazzle Ships". That album was years ahead of its time. Enola Gay Electricity Maid of Orleans Joan of Arc Genetic Engineering Telegraph The Romance of the Telescope Some of their latest hits are: Metroland Dresden Isotype...
This is one of the rare bands that I'd get in the car in the '90s and just put on their "Best of OMD" and just DRIVE. I'd likely skip a couple songs now and then, but the sound ranges so much. They were really unique in their music in the '80s/90s and their fans are pretty devout. I'd agree with Bryan -- So In Love, Secret, Enola Gay, Souvenirs are all great, but others I love are: Electricity Sailing on the Seven Seas Pandora's Box Live and Die Dreaming Tesla Girls
I love how the video is really subtle in its references to Pretty in Pink - clips that fit the song so well that if you didn't know they're from the movie, you'd think they were done for the video. And of course, the pink background.
This song will always be my absolute favorite of all time! I have loved it since I saw the movie Pretty in Pink back in the 80's. I never get tired of hearing it :)
This song and the movie Pretty in Pink are still my favorites 35 years later.
I love that movie and the song
Yes I totally agree with you, where has the time gone. What a great time to be young we definitely were blessed to have lived through those days 🤔
James Spader plays the villain too dang well. lol
@@jpeopolis And too dang hot.
waahhh do not say 35 years.... i am soooo old 😅😅😅
If you just react to the movie Pretty in Pink you’ll hear some great music by Psychedelic Furs, New Order, INXS, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Smiths, Suzanne Vega and this song by OMD. Love when you hit the 80’s!
Everytime I hear this song among other's, I think of pretty in pink.
Thompson Twins
One of my fave soundtracks to this day.
OMG he should react to that movie for sure
He should check out Suzanne Vega! She has a vast catalog of exquisitely written lyrics that not enough people know about.
I love "Enola Gay" and "Maid Of Orleans", give them a go! You sure won't be disappointed!
Bought the single of "Enola Gay" when it came out .. Still have it and still love it.
"Secret" and "Forever Live and Die" as well!
Oh yes, Enola Gay was the song that made me notice the band. It still sounds amazing! 👍🏼👍🏼
If you watch "maid of orleans" read up about joan of arc first so you understand the video
Great song and great video

@@FrugalLife Yeah mate, a good addition to my reaction! Totally agree on this! Thanks!
‘That’s it Stef - she thinks you’re shit. And deep down you know she’s right.’ ❤️
Duckie.. or Andrew McCarthey, I think
One of the best lines in the show💜
@@oaktree1628 Blaine, yes. Andrew.
And you've got to make sure you don't blink while you say it.
@@BClarke 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
They are also known as OMD. Listen to
"SO IN LOVE"
"SECRET"
"ENOLA GAY"
"SOUVENIRS"
and Pandora's Box, I adore that song.
secret
Omg 80s the best decade forever!
Yes I totally agree with you. If you didn't live through it you wouldn't understand. Someone please build a time machine I'm all in 🤔
Couldn’t agree more !!! 😊
I love OMD, my favourite song is souvenir, it’s amazing!!
Enola Gay is their masterpiece that will blow you away. This one is decent.
Yes! Their songs like Enola Gay (about WWII), Apollo XI & 88 Seconds in Greensboro also encouraged one's education of important historical events. They caught you with the beat and thankfully enmeshed thoughtful & intelligent lyrics.
Maid of Orleans plus many more of their great songs. Very thankful I was 14/15 back in 1980. What a decade for awesome music ❤️🏴🇬🇧
OMD fans might know this (Enola Gay) version from the clubs th-cam.com/video/IDJGeV2-bcI/w-d-xo.html
Maid of new orleans is their Masterpiece
'Tesla' Girls is another excellent track.
"So in Love." If you want to hear just what this guy's voice is capable of, then you need to hear "So in Love."
Agreed. Probably my favorite from them.
Definitely "So In Love"!
Yes great song ❤️
Yesss!! So in love. Beautiful song
Yes, love "So in Love" ! React to that one too.
Every time I hear this song I have to watch "Pretty In Pink"
Nothing wrong with that. Just remember to lighten the mood after with 16 Candles.
@Luna Raven Mannequin is lighthearted and he is a prick in it.......LOL
That's A Really Cute Movie !! Pure 80's !! 👍😁💜
I want to watch it right now. 😆
Loved this song so much! Pretty in Pink movie. The whole "Pretty in Pink" soundtrack is fire.
80s spawned the best musicians and duo's.
Agree! :)
💯👍
"Forever Live and Die" is an underrated OMD song - love that one.
And you wanna go one better? Listen to the 12” Extended version! Stunningly beautiful!
Jayvee, please react to Forever(Live And Die) the 12” Extended play version!! Please! You are my absolute favorite reactor to music. Genuine and honest feedback.
OMD and Pretty in Pink, forever linked.
Ducky!
Oh the 80’s when life was much more simple!
De acuerdo...más simple y más romántico!!!!!...Saludos desde CHILE!!!!🤔🤔🎉🎉
Sooo right!
WHAT your kidding!
Simple as the Cold War, the Nuclear Menace, the AIDS, the fall of Berlin Wall, the "star wars", the famine in Africa, Chernobyl, the Lebanon War, the Iran-Irak War, Lybia, first Intifada, dictators paid by the USA... YEAH! Easier and colorful...

@@oskarobit was about to write that....
Whooot whoooot! Aaawww my teenage yrs. PRETTY IN PINK! (Actually my preteen yrs even) if you are into 80s teen movies and have not seen Pretty in Pink, its an 80s classic.
Thank you. I was thinking of this also.
This is still such a sad, beautiful song which is strange considering the tempo.
The number of key changes in this song is pretty amazing. If you were to try that with most songs, it wouldn't work well. But, it worked well for this one and they wrote this within 24 hours. Pretty amazing.
One of my favourite bands as a young teen in the early 80s. 😍

All masterpieces 😄❤️
Yeeees! Masterpieces! ♥️
Perhaps it was their biggest hit in the US
One of the few 80s bands whose new stuff holds up to some of their best early work. Isotype and punishment of luxury are fab new tracks of theirs.
Tesla Girls (No No No), Apollo xi, Walking on the Milky Way
Wow, memories from my 8th grade year are attached to this song. 1986!
Finally some recognition for OMD!! Maid Of Orleans, Forever (Live And Die), Sailing On The Seven Seas, Walking On The Milky Way are just a few of some absolute must
Architecture & Morality was their iconic and now influential album from the early 80's.

YES!!!! They have a lot of awesome songs!! Keep going!!! Very Influential
OMD have SO many good songs. I saw them live a couple of years ago and they're still jumping around like teenagers. It was glorious!!!!
hello beautiful 😍
OMD is one of my favorite bands from the 80’s and beyond. I still see them in concert to this day 🎶 🎵😎
Check out these OMD songs: Secret, ‘Tesla Girls, Locomotion, So in Love 😻🥰😍🙌🏼
Tesla girls is a personal favorite.
Souvenir is the most beautiful sadness song ever.
You got it.
Glad you found OMD. In my opinion, they're a lot deeper a group than widely appreciated.

This was a huge eighties hit! It was on the soundtrack of one the biggest movies of the decade, Pretty In Pink! Saxophones were huge in eighties music! I love this song...takes me back to my teen years!❤️❤️
This is one of those songs that I've heard a million times but never knew who sang it. It always reminded me of The Cure, Modern English, etc.
new wave sound
Enola gay is great also
They are still around today still great energy and sound just the same.
One of my favourites ❤
Omd- Enola Gay, Maid of Orleans and Souvenir
Thanks for keeping my favorite music alive I love 50s 60s 70s and 80s music and you are awesome god bless you
For my 12th birthday my dad took me to see Pretty in Pink and this song became my favorite for a long time. It will ALWAYS make me think of the movie and want to watch it. It was a good one.
It does my heart good to see the younger generations discovering music from my youth. My favorite song from OMD is ‘So In Love’.
Oooohhhh... 1986... So many memories hearin' "If you leave" 😪😟😭😧🤧☺️
This is the main song off the soundtrack for the movie Pretty in Pink. Molly Ringwald the lead actress in the movie is the girl in the video
To my mind the best synth band of the 80's, 'Architecture And Morality' still a great listen, 'Enola Gay', 'Souvenir'. 'Electricity', 'Maid Of Orleans' and 'Forever Live and Die' should be on the agenda also.

Radio Band of my childhood... Check out Sailing in the Seven Seas, that is a great one! Bless you!
This whole album (cassette - *cough*) was the soundtrack to every teen breakup I had. Oh the angst
Check out Pretty In Pink by the Psychedelic Furs. From the same movie....actually the movie is worth watching....
Pretty in Pink, 80s, teenage years...How the memories come rushing back...Love it!
This song brings back so many memories from my childhood during the 80's
Watch pretty in pink. Great soundtrack
One of the most memorable and important songs from my childhood!
Awesome song! Bringing back the memories with this one ☝🏼
Hey hey!
@@elysehfm8797 👋🏻🤗
Molly Ringwald and Pretty in Pink maybe?
@@rsccostarica yes, that’s correct 😊 It played in the final scene of movie 🎥
Kids in America Kim Wilde then listen to her dad Marty singing jezebel thanks.
Gah... Love this song. “Pretty in Pink,” movie by John Hughes. Give me any brat Pack movie from John Hughes in the 80s.
Great band. Other tracks to Try - so in love, Enola gray,secret, Joan of arc, Tesla girls, souvenirs....

Listen to them all Jayvee. :D
They have dozens of brilliant tracks. Brilliant use of synths. Both their experimental stuff and their pop releases are sublime.
Enola Gay and Pandora’s Box are my favourite to tracks by this band who I’ve seen a few times love including their 40th Anniversary tour a few years ago
Hearing this always reminds me of 80s brat pack actors, those cult films.

I'm so glad to grow up in 80's with all the amazing music. OMD has a bunch of amazing song
OMD is one of my favorite 80's bands. This was the soundtrack for the film Pretty in Pink.
In Europe their biggest hit was by far "Maid of Orleans" ,check it out too! :-)
If you make a musical 80's time capsule, OMD has to be in it.
Gosh I miss the 70s and 80s. There will never be music like that again.
Checkout 'Pandoras Box' brilliant track......I also went to high school with one of the current band members........
Watch Pretty in Pink to get the whole experience.
This is a phenomenal song and helped define so much of the 80s mood.

Secret
(Forever) Live and Die
Enola Gay

Everyone has had that 'Pretty in Pink ' experience.. And the sax..so telling for that era--Tina Turner had a great saxophonist.

I love the 80s man.. so underrated 😁😥

Bittersweet memories. Always loved this song. I was 9 when it came out, and my mum and dad had just split up, I cried every time I heard it.

Never Turn Away, Walking on Air, Walk Tall, Dream of me...
"You can tell it's in the 80s". Yeap, once you hear good music, it's pretty much a given, not to diss the 90s which is another great decade for music.

They did many many better songs than this one. It’s a nice one though 😊
This is the epic song at the end of, "Pretty in Pink" a John Hughes 80s classic starring Molly Rongwald and Andrew Mccarthy. 💕
