Oh my GOD!!! Amazing! Finally found the song that has haunted me for the past 31 years. I remember as a child of 12 hearing the song at some music store but never knew the name of the song or the artist. And have not heard it since then. I remembered the chorus and have been searching for it using the chorus but had no luck until I watched mr somebody’s compilation of hit music from 1991!! Mission Accomplished. I have found the song after all these years.
It's great when you are looking for a song for years - then find it. I had a fruitless search for one from the 90s. I had just given up looking, when it appeared on a Top of the Pops repeat!
I heard "Never going to get to France" on the radio once back in '83 but it took me 28 years hear it again. I found a castaway disk in a snowbank on Yellowhead 6, cleaned off and played it and there it was.

schönsten Lieder aller Zeiten OMD dieses Lied hab ich immer gesucht es ist ein ganz besonderes für mich mit das schönste Lied.sie sind alle schön aber dieses weiss nicht warum könnte es den ganzen Tag hören.und ich finde die Sänger sehen heute noch attraktiver und hübscher aus.
I had never heard of Louise Brooks before and felt deeply touched by her life. A stunning young woman whose misfits haunt us to this date. To me the best song by OMD and considerably one of the most beautiful ones ever.
Louise Brooks was the prettiest woman who ever lived. God rest her soul. Thank you OMD for making her memory live on. I will watch the movie one day and then really fall in love 😍
Louise Brooks was so bright, full of life, and energy; just, think of what she could have accomplished, if she were here now at "that age" again. The photograph of a "Long String of Pearls" by Eugene R. Richee from 1928 is sheer perfection. The World didn't know what it had, because she defined what would become, "Old Hollywood Glamour" -- Louise deserved so much more, than what life gave her.
Don't be naïve, Louise Brooks was a HUGE star in her time. Just because you don't know her story, don't assume she didn't create her own Tsunami in her own time.
And yet many of the clips in this video also make her appear ghost like owing to the nature of the film, not that I disagree with your points. She was a very interesting person who witnessed a lot of change (she was born in TR's Presidency and died in Reagan's), experienced way too much abuse and neglect, and was tossed aside by cruel and abusive film industry. Granted, she made a number of decisions that were probably not the best, but in some cases she didn't have much choice. For instance, If she had taken Pabst's advice and stayed in Berlin in 1929 (probably the best choice without hindsight), that could have led to an even worse outcome considering what was happening there just a few years later.
I recently watched a documentary about her. Very interesting and beautiful woman with a very heartbreaking past of sexual abuse. These are experiences that wreck and shape the life and character of a person forever. Hope her soul has found peace.
OMD really captured something special on this track. I just feel so much empathy whenever I hear it. I can sense the loneliness and tragedy they conveyed perfectly here.
Amazing song. Love the 80s music. The more I revisit it, the more I love it even more. This song is so nostalgic to me and my friends, as many others. Great music is timeless and love reading the other stories of others on the comments, because 80s was an era that we all shared and loved, the music the memories and the lifestyle that most of us enjoyed. Thank you for that beautiful era and glad to have been part of that decade growing up.
OMD must be one of the all time greatest bands ever, there talent at writing and performing such beautiful songs is endless, and this is one of my favourites!
A rare timeless beauty, that wouldn't look out of place today, or even in ancient Egypt. Her style and chic will never go out of fashion. a great song and tribute.May she rest in piece.
More to the point- OMD took someone who was forgotten and kept them alive, how beautiful as always 😍🥰😇 which is why I have loved them for 30 years xxxx
Well done because me included have made comments about poor Louise Brooks yet massive respect to OMD for keeping her name alive. Thank you for making that point ❤
100%. The first time I saw Louise was in this video, back in 1991. I was 18, and for a good few years after the song's release, I had assumed that Louise was a contemporary actress/model that the band had hired for the video to play a fictional 1920's movie star.
I live near Cherryvale, Kansas. It is also home to Vivian Vance who played Ethel Murtz on "I Love Lucy." The Pledge of Allegiance was also written by Frank Bellamy, a resident. Cherryvale was home to the Bloody Benders, one of the most gruesome families of the Old West. I've always loved this song but until today didn't realize that it was inspired by a Louise Brooks film.
I had the biggest crush on Louise Brooks back in the day. Pandora's Box and Diary of a Lost Girl are still two of my favorite movies. I hope to see them in the theater again some day. This is a great song. I remember buying the cassette single 30 years ago.
Thanks to OMD. Fascinating and Wonderful LOUISE BROOKS,a unique actress, all in presence and expression, the image of a bygone era but Louise continues to touch us by the magic of the seventh art, by her freshness and timeless beauty, unforgettable.We can only admire and love her and especially regret that she was not born in our time.What Star she would have done, nothing to do with all the female figures "did you see me" who play it and fart, ridiculous of the Web.They are just passing by and no one will keep a fond, even tiny memory of their person.
I bought the DVD of Pandora's Box. When I began watching it, I understood why Louise Brooks deserved her place in movie history. Her performance was brilliant and her face just mesmerizing.
I'm going to buy it too; downloaded the film off this site, but only 480px, good enough for my small screen, but not so good when I eventually get a large TV (42")....... one day.
One of my all-time favorite films. I bought it on VHS back in the early '90s, then on a British import DVD, and yet again when the Criterion edition came out. But I also see it in theaters whenever I get the opportunity.
There’s also Diary Of A Lost Girl“ (Tagebuch einer Verlorenen) , her other European silent movie with Pabst - it‘s almost as good as Pandora‘s Box. You can find it in a fine quality on YT.
Louise Brooks fue una de las más fascinantes y bellas actrices de todos los tiempos...Declarada "Icono Inmortal del Cine "por la Cinemateca Francesa en 1962,es una de las mujeres más modernas e intemporales del siglo XX...Divina. ❤
I love it, 80's, was the best time....I was 17...❤😊and this Saturday I will see OMD in the live koncert in Prague. YUPPIE✌💃🙏Best regards from CZECH REP.
Her exquisite portrayal of human emotions was masterful and added to the fact that she was rather attractive too made her perfect to be cast in the film role that she was.
Que gran música que inevitablemente me transporta a mi adolescencia cuando veíamos el mundo tan diferente y sin saberlo escuchábamos la mejor música de todos los tiempos
Been in love with her for about 40 years, saddo that I am. A great short video on you tube is 'Louise Brooks Walking' she even moves like heaven. No wonder the man in the excerpt is bewitched by her. Great song and tribute from OMD. Its sad but joyous too. Thanks Andy. RIP Lulu.
Born in Kansas On an ordinary plain Ran to New York But ran away from fame Only seventeen When all your dreams came true But all you wanted Was someone to undress you And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain Still the grace remains And though the face has changed You're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see Frame of silence Of an innocence divine Is a dangerous creation When you fail the test of time And all the photographs Of ghosts of long ago Still they hurt you so Won't let you go And you still don't know And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see When you look around yourself now Do you recognize the girl The one who broke a thousand hearts Terrified the world And all the stars you kissed Could never ease the pain And if the face has changed The grace remains And you're still the same And it's a long long way From where you want to be And it's a long long way But you're too blind to see
Three times in my life, I've had the great honor to meet and converse with these 2 distinguished gentlemen. We all have a certain number of very special, material items we hold, or admire from a distance in our homes, or watch, wear, or listen to. One of the greatest treasures I'll have until the day I die is, my so beautiful 12" single cover of Pandora's Box, signed by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. They were very careful about where they placed their signatures. In no way did they want their names to diminish the eternal beauty of Louise Brooks. I told the guys how much I appreciated their heartfelt tribute to this radiant Star of Silent Film, who left an incandescent mark in the emotions of anyone who saw her performances on the Silver Screen. OMD told me, they wrote this song and composed the music because she meant that much to them. True Stars never really fade away. In time, their light might diminish, but someone out there will discover them for the first time, and the stardust magic begins again. I own some of her films on DVD and Blu-ray. Even now, there is no one I can compare her to. Thank You, Gentlemen, for creating a wonderful song, a perfect rhythm, a musical score and words that still resonate and speak volumes about Louise Brooks, and your own, very special talent.
That's the curse of being beautiful, yeah, it opens doors for you, but also draws all the wrong types of people to you who will abuse you for their own selfish desires :(
Few have built such beautiful musical bridges between the past and today (which is already yesterday). Thank you OMD for moving us with such good taste in an indispensable act of memory!
I love it, 80's, was the best time....I was 17...❤😊and this Saturday a will see OMD in the live koncert in Prague. YUPPIE✌💃🙏Best regards from CZECH REP.
One of the things I love about OMD is that they write melodically deeply satisfying songs about such unusual and/or such deep topics. One thing that goes through many of them though is women suffering - its in Joan of Arc, Helen of Troy, La Femme Accident, Bloc bloc, Woman 3, and this one. There is also the dollar girl which like some other OMD numbers has a pop music exterior but has a very dark lyric content (you find this too in Enola Gay and Dresden which of course are about war and mass murder)
They were my favourite band in the eighties but in retrospect, I am not sure why. Many of the songs are still good but in truth they do not have many ideas and some of their songs are unoriginal.
Without this song (and the original video promo), I doubt I'd have ever discovered Louise. I was 18 when this was released and wasn't even an OMD fan especially.. but the tune was catchy enough that when it rocked up on telly one day, it caught my attention. And when I first saw the video, I honestly thought Louise was a contemporary actress they'd hired for the video, simply to play the role of a fictional silent movie star. It never occurred to me that the footage was actually from the 1920's, because Louise didn't look like any "old fashioned" movie star I'd ever seen back then... Or to this day, as it turns out.
I love this song. I listen to it over and over. On repeat while driving to and from work ;-) As for Louise, she was absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo sad she died alone :-(
I remember back in 1991I was in a VHS rental shop when I first heard this song and thought to myself what I nice sounding song! And I started seeing it appear a LOT on MTV! *My favourite OMD song!* 🎶
Liked it in 1991, and now think it's my fave OMD track to date, as it's stood the test of time. Wonderfully written, and brilliant, sensitive video tribute that achieves its aim of reaching out. You can't help but empathise with her and be a fan by the end :)
Magia ekspresji "Puszki Pandory" ciągle działa. Niepotrzebne były kolory, plazmy, 3D, 4D,..Uwielbiam połączenia lat 20. i 80. XX wieku. MC Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark miałem w samochodzie. Przy ich muzyce przejechałem tysiące kilometrów. Ach, te wspomnienia.

I’m 42 and today 01/18/2024 this song came to my mind, years can pass and nothing compares to songs from the 90s
Grandi....
Yeah!! Tnxs
This song is from 1991 though.
I would do anything to turn the clock back
La fine dei tempi
My Dads Favorite song in the 90s. He passed in 2009. Rest in Peace Francis...
Sad brother. How old was your Dad when he passed?
Miałem całą płytę. Byłem zachwycony muzyką i słowami. A od występie OMD w Sopocie w 1991roku nie było dnia bez ich muzyki.

I agree what a natural pretty woman Louise was
This takes me back to my younger days 65 years old now and still love listening to OMD
Agree OMD is one of the bands I appreciate even more now than I did in the 80s. Many other bands I listened to more thn now take the bakc seat.
I'm 61 . My favourite band ever 😊

They were a man. What did you think Pandora’s box is.
Agreed. Well nearly. Maybe second to Monroe.
I don't think i've ever seen such natural beauty in a woman. Why has the world hardly heard of her
@@raymondbradley4558 absolutely Raymond what a lady.

Don't be naïve, Louise Brooks was a HUGE star in her time. Just because you don't know her story, don't assume she didn't create her own Tsunami in her own time.
She looks like an angel. It's so sad she died alone. RIP.
She was quite different, beautiful and very open-minded
Louise Brooks, the most beautiful and underrated woman in acting history. Her legacy will last 'till the end of time.
Could not have said it any better.
Although nearly 120 years old it seems as if she is alive, real and current.
Such an interesting and sad story RIP

One simple word, classic. Thank-you OMD for honoring an amazing woman, a pioneer of her times.
It's just a brilliant early 90's tune that captures the pure romance of that era. If you fell in love listening to this song, lucky you.

What a beautiful way to honour this woman ;D
The hotness of Louise Brooks even after 100 years of changing tastes. Absolutely unearthly.
Still here 60 and still listening to it and always will
Louise Brooks is immortalized by her movies and Books. This is so beautiful and represents her as a young spirit always.
Louise Brooks was absolutely beautiful. She had an incredibly modern look, considering the period she was in the movies.
She was an advanced woman at her time...
100%. The first time I saw Louise was in this video, back in 1991. I was 18, and for a good few years after the song's release, I had assumed that Louise was a contemporary actress/model that the band had hired for the video to play a fictional 1920's movie star.

She was stunning…
Exactly! Her smile, her expressions, her moves.. it looks like she was in a black and white movie released last year.
Thanks Louise and OMD for the great contribution to pop culture.

Born in Kansas
On an ordinary plain
Ran to New York
But ran away from fame
Only seventeen
When all your dreams came true
But all you wanted
Was someone to undress you
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains
And though the face has changed
You're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
Frame of silence
Of an innocence divine
Is a dangerous creation
When you fail the test of time
And all the photographs
Of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you so
Won't let you go
And you still don't know
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world
And all the stars you kissed
Could never ease the pain
And if the face has changed
The grace remains
And you're still the same
And it's a long long way
From where you want to be
And it's a long long way
But you're too blind to see
Awesome lyrics,voices & music!
Thx! Very deep lyrics, indeed!

Louise was a natural Beauty and this song is a great tribute.
Three times in my life, I've had the great honor to meet and converse with these 2 distinguished gentlemen.
We all have a certain number of very special, material items we hold, or admire from a distance in our homes, or watch, wear, or listen to.
One of the greatest treasures I'll have until the day I die is, my so beautiful 12" single cover of Pandora's Box, signed by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark. They were very careful about where they placed their signatures. In no way did they want their names to diminish the eternal beauty of Louise Brooks. I told the guys how much I appreciated their heartfelt tribute to this radiant Star of Silent Film, who left an incandescent mark in the emotions of anyone who saw her performances on the Silver Screen.

True Stars never really fade away. In time, their light might diminish, but someone out there will discover them for the first time, and the stardust magic begins again.

I was there! What a sublime experience.
I love it, 80's, was the best time....I was 17...❤😊and this Saturday a will see OMD in the live koncert in Prague. YUPPIE✌💃🙏Best regards from CZECH REP.
I have had this song ringing in my head for a week not knowing its name despite having it on YT history. Why 80'-90' music has to be too beautiful?😢❤
What a wonderful tribute to Louise
One of the things I love about OMD is that they write melodically deeply satisfying songs about such unusual and/or such deep topics. One thing that goes through many of them though is women suffering - its in Joan of Arc, Helen of Troy, La Femme Accident, Bloc bloc, Woman 3, and this one. There is also the dollar girl which like some other OMD numbers has a pop music exterior but has a very dark lyric content (you find this too in Enola Gay and Dresden which of course are about war and mass murder)
Don't forget Christine, that's a sad one.
They were my favourite band in the eighties but in retrospect, I am not sure why. Many of the songs are still good but in truth they do not have many ideas and some of their songs are unoriginal.
@@eightiesmusic1984 their music was catchy and easy to digest
It is actually odd. La Femme Accident means nothing in French either. Gibberish. A bit like No Parlez by Paul Young ( great album, though).
Without this song (and the original video promo), I doubt I'd have ever discovered Louise. I was 18 when this was released and wasn't even an OMD fan especially.. but the tune was catchy enough that when it rocked up on telly one day, it caught my attention.
And when I first saw the video, I honestly thought Louise was a contemporary actress they'd hired for the video, simply to play the role of a fictional silent movie star. It never occurred to me that the footage was actually from the 1920's, because Louise didn't look like any "old fashioned" movie star I'd ever seen back then... Or to this day, as it turns out.
The most beautiful EVER to adorn the silver screen. Why oh why was she born 80 years before her time?
Dam right Woody....... Dam right
man waren das noch zeiten---wie schön wäre es jetzt das noch mal zu erleben
Oh ja, auch wenn damals bestimmt nicht alles schön war.
Lousie war wunderschön, traurige Geschichte. OMD einfach nur super.
Uma linda música, bem arrranjada, com ritmo animadíssimo e em qualquer época, traz lindas lembranças de épicas que não voltam mais . Inesquecível!
A personagem por detrás dessa canção foi alguém de única e, com muita delicadeza e nítida emoção, O.M.D. a soube nos revelar.
Everyone's still listening I don't think they realise how loved they are ,we want more
úžasný,vzpomínky...
💯
Época em que todos éramos mais felizes. Ainda com todas as mazelas o mundo era mais colorido e alegre. Paz a todos
I love this song. I listen to it over and over. On repeat while driving to and from work ;-) As for Louise, she was absolutely gorgeous. Sooooo sad she died alone :-(
this song is art in the purest form.
Brilliant I love this Louise Brooks is awesome!
I remember back in 1991I was in a VHS rental shop when I first heard this song and thought to myself what I nice sounding song! And I started seeing it appear a LOT on MTV! *My favourite OMD song!* 🎶
Anyone else love this song & the image of Louise Brooks? There is something about her I love
Me too, I'm becoming a little infatuated, RIP beautiful Louise❤❤❤❤
My favourite OMD track. I even brought the sugar tax album when it first came out on vinyl. Ive still got it.
Louise was beautiful...very dark and mysterious.
What a beautiful woman was Louise Brooks !! and a great song from OMD!
Liked it in 1991, and now think it's my fave OMD track to date, as it's stood the test of time. Wonderfully written, and brilliant, sensitive video tribute that achieves its aim of reaching out. You can't help but empathise with her and be a fan by the end :)
Many thanks for Forty+ years of great music! Brilliant band still going!
Magia ekspresji "Puszki Pandory" ciągle działa. Niepotrzebne były kolory, plazmy, 3D, 4D,..Uwielbiam połączenia lat 20. i 80. XX wieku. MC Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark miałem w samochodzie. Przy ich muzyce przejechałem tysiące kilometrów. Ach, te wspomnienia.
Taka prawda OMD jest super i nawet kiedy dobiegam szustej przeszkody.
Fantastic actress may god be looking after her in the kingdom of heaven.! 😀👍❤❤
