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❤️
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".
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.
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
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.
I bought this for my mum on her birthday in '84 on a 45 rpm record(vinyl for the younger ones) from woolworths and she played it till it was worn out !
First single I ever bought, also from Woolies! I was 12 in '84. Remember going into town on the bus to buy it. Couldn't wait to get home to play it on my little Bush lift up lid record player!
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.
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
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
@@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
1984, the very best and most beautiful year of my life. How i wish I could go back there - just to re-live it once more. Songs like this made it special too. Thanks for the memories.
I dreamt about this last night, I was in a meadows with a sunny clear blue sky and this music was playing in the background….it was pure serene. I woke up and looked for this in youtube. I love this song. October 6, 2021
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!
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.
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!
Never heard this before today, nice little melody and just "something" about it, as others have mentioned, brings a summer day feeling..... Like it lots.
Talking loud and clear Saying just what I feel Lying in the grass With the sun on our backs It doesn't really matter What we do or what we say With every little movement We give ourselves away Opposite and opposite Decisions are reversed Facing one another With words that couldn't hurt With every little word You're getting closer to me Talking loud and clear Saying just what we feel today
what an incredible song this was , absolutely loved it when it first came into the charts and had to buy it played it and played it and played drove everybody mad in the house
Lying on the grass with the sun on one's back. Wanting to go rolling down the hill through the daisies and buttercups - so long as there weren't any cowpats!
short haircuts,pants with the shape of a carrot, shiny classic shoes, leather slim ties,oversized sweaters ,fancy shirts style of the electric music of the '80s. totaly madness!! i wish could live this madness again and forever! but i guess just like everything else ,all good things don't last! thats they are good and remembered
After listening to this a few times, it's the backing track that's the genius. The vocals are, at best ineffectual, or to my mind an unwanted diversion of a lovely tune.
I remember listening to this on cassette tape sometimes in my Sony boom box and sometimes on my walkman. Sometimes I'd lip sync to this in the mirror. Great stuff. Thanks.
Maria check out Wishful thinking..by the same band...music made not to be cool or macho...but to remember the innocence and beauty of our youth. Masterpiece..
I never realized it at the time at how the lyrics to this song were a fairly good representation to being a teenager in the 80s. Were we ever lucky to have experienced those times.
Heard this song while i was sitting in a jeep going along with the other OMD songs, I liked it so much that I bought the best of OMD, and later on Messages.
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❤️
Fui fan de OMD durante mi adolescencia y esta canción era mi favorita. Tiene magia, sí. Es totalmente evocadora.
Thanks 😊
Me too! Once a kid of the 80s...always a kid of the 80s..!
Loved this so long and I’m 69!
The 80's gotta love them
There's a purity and innocence to OMD's music.
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".
I'm going back, who's coming with me? X
Those were the days 😂❤
The Welsh word Hiraeth
With you all the way brother.
Just..yes..simply.yes
2023 and still magic song. Thanks OMD.
Absolutely!
Absolutely love this my dad introduced me to this great band,he sadly passed at the end of March this year and this with always be our tune ❤❤❤❤
Sorry for your loss, take care of yourself and keep listening to this great band and remember the good times. Look after yourself and your family
So sorry for your loss, stay strong!
You dad had excellent taste
❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.
Those moments are still in your heart.
Exactly the same for me too.
It’s amazing how a song can make us time travel back to happy times.
I served them in a hotel in quorn country hotel before there concert at the demonford hall Leicester lovely band
How beautifully and thoughtfully music was made in the 80s . Mod are so unique ❤
Absolutely stunningly beautiful song. I could listen over and over again x
We should have an 80s reunion on a big farm somewhere in the world and have OMD there for a few days.
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
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 :)
Time to time I play this song to wash my soul...
I am closing at a goodwill and they always pass it at 9:20 😭
How odd
Wonderful pm. store closing music. I can picture employees preparing to plan out their evening and customers making last minute purchases.
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.
I bought this for my mum on her birthday in '84 on a 45 rpm record(vinyl for the younger ones) from woolworths and she played it till it was worn out !
I have still got my 7" vinyl from woolworths and it still sounds 👍
First single I ever bought, also from Woolies! I was 12 in '84. Remember going into town on the bus to buy it. Couldn't wait to get home to play it on my little Bush lift up lid record player!
that's pretty damn cool. Tried to do the math on it, but who cares. Lucky mom.

Well said what a beautiful song reminiscent of the time it existed, a beautiful simplier time , nostalgic !!! 😀😋
1984, the very best and most beautiful year of my life. How i wish I could go back there - just to re-live it once more. Songs like this made it special too. Thanks for the memories.
Best comment ever in youtube
I miss 1984…
You are so right there too.
Beautiful tune..magical..my 80's..my teens...wow😁🤗😘
Just a Perfect song from a perfect time. Miss the 80"s so much. Music is a nostalgic time machine indeed.
I hear you, the 80's were magical and not only the music.
It just had it all and a decade like that will never ever come back.
Love this. Takes me right back to when i was 35, wow the memories.😊
J'adore cette chanson, l'arrangement musical est le top !
I dreamt about this last night, I was in a meadows with a sunny clear blue sky and this music was playing in the background….it was pure serene. I woke up and looked for this in youtube. I love this song. October 6, 2021
The joy in this masterpiece is the sadness.
I'd forgotten this song until I was working in a hospitality role recently and AM was one of the guests...brought it all back to life...fab song
Blast from the past takes me back to being 14 great memories of the 80es such lovely song that' stays in ur memory for decades
Loooooove OMD! Played them all through high school, university, and beyond! At 53, their awesome songs always transport me right back to my youth.
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.

Was always such a beautiful sweet song for me and hear I am 35 years later still listening to it. One of my favorites from OMD.
You seriously look bloody good for your age then 😉
@@grahamcheesman2252 fake 😂😂😂
@@TheImaginaryLens possible lol😂😂😂
One of there best songs they made 84 every time I hear this reminds me of the love and joy with my first and only girl I really loved to this day x ❤

pure brilliance, massive part of my childhood growing up with music 🎶
Their songwriting was very underrated I think, another great song from their long list.
yup..the lyrics get me every time
Fabulous song
Another "underrated" one

its the amount of instruments used that makes this such a great song
Omd are just fabulous ❤️
Yes they are too why not there this is one of their best too.
OMD... ❤ just perfect songs they made ❤❤❤❤
Never heard this before today, nice little melody and just "something" about it, as others have mentioned, brings a summer day feeling.....
Like it lots.
I grew up with this group, one of my favourite songs which I still enjoy listening to today. Simply beautiful!
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what I feel
Lying in the grass
With the sun on our backs
It doesn't really matter
What we do or what we say
With every little movement
We give ourselves away
Opposite and opposite
Decisions are reversed
Facing one another
With words that couldn't hurt
With every little word
You're getting closer to me
Talking loud and clear
Saying just what we feel today
Loved it then, love it still.Gorgeous.
Great song 😊
Hauntingly beautiful song and video
De l'art musical !!!!! 🎸🎹🎤🎶🎵💙🤍❤️👏 Bravo Omd et le clip est très bien réalisé
Epic song from 80's!!.......still enjoying in.......2021!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On night shift its a special song
Legends & timeless music
Not a CELLPHONE in Sight.
Saying just what l feel unforgettable song l was 30 years old 👏👏
what an incredible song this was , absolutely loved it when it first came into the charts and had to buy it played it and played it and played drove everybody mad in the house
Always loved this band, so under rated and this song is so catchy 💜
Underrated by who?
Been looking for this song for years thank you x
I was on trips and this was the best thing i have ever heard!!!!!am a lot older now but it does take me back,love it
wonderful memories, when music was still music,melodies make folk feel.
Early 80s a gem of a time.
I absolutely LOVE this song. reFound it today on Rhapsody and listened to it 5 times in a row while I was washing my car. What a grin - what a gem.
73 born loved these all my life almost....... Brilliant.
Nostalgia at its best. Love love love it.
hear my cover of this song new 2014 july vist my youtube page w w w. youtube . com /flukemusic
this tune is just simply chill out on a summers day and feel the vibe
Lying on the grass with the sun on one's back.
Wanting to go rolling down the hill through the daisies and buttercups - so long as there weren't any cowpats!
Outstanding music from the best decade ever
The good old days!
OMD the Best! One of the greatest songs of 1984!
swietny videoclip oraz super piosenka oraz wspanialy zespol orchestral manoeuvres in the dark
If I were tasked to describe Heaven- I could not come up with a better version than this.
Great band, as of many of that era 👏
So Cute this song. My favorite OMD track..beautiful🎶🎵🎵
short haircuts,pants with the shape of a carrot, shiny classic shoes, leather slim ties,oversized sweaters ,fancy shirts style of the electric music of the '80s. totaly madness!! i wish could live this madness again and forever! but i guess just like everything else ,all good things don't last! thats they are good and remembered
que liiiiiiiinda canción !!! me encanta es una de mis favoritas de este maravilloso grupo !!! QUé buena música la de los 80´s
Magnifico
Pine for this era bigtime....it hurts!
Love this song, listening to it in my bedroom, happy days!!!
Haven't heard and saw this in nearly 30 Years. Wow!
Dani Rocksaurier me too 😂
one of the best synthbands ever... time to dive into the 80's wormhole
After listening to this a few times, it's the backing track that's the genius. The vocals are, at best ineffectual, or to my mind an unwanted diversion of a lovely tune.
This song reminds me of a camping trip my parents took me and my brothers on in a scorching summer holiday when i was about 6 happy memeories
I remember listening to this on cassette tape sometimes in my Sony boom box and sometimes on my walkman. Sometimes I'd lip sync to this in the mirror. Great stuff. Thanks.
This is actually one of my favorites.
My Father loves this track, we were on a road trip as a family when it came on.
I always found this to be a catchy song. But I have always felt this band could do no wrong.
Dazzleships was a test for everyone 😂
I loved DS!
I listened to Dazzle Ships the other night, apart from the singles lifted from it, it sounded just like Kraftwerk's Radioactivity
@@craighodge9094 😅😅😅😅
Its one of my favourates.
Este tema me transporta a una época feliz, grandes omd!
Amazing
since this single i'm O.M.D. fan forever
OMG OMG... !! this is so .. I don' know what to say.. just love love it
They're OMD, OMD...!!
Maria check out Wishful thinking..by the same band...music made not to be cool or macho...but to remember the innocence and beauty of our youth. Masterpiece..
I'm quite sure you're referring to Wishful Thinking by China Crisis, right? Not OMD..
Beautifull song
The sound effects at opening are amazing
I never realized it at the time at how the lyrics to this song were a fairly good representation to being a teenager in the 80s. Were we ever lucky to have experienced those times.
This brings back so many good memories- such a classic.
My favorite OMD song, such a beautiful tune...
Reminds me of the early 80s "Worzel Gummidge" TV Series.
thanks for sharing... like the "Vogelscheuche" :-)... awesome track...with lots of memories....
I had a shirt almost exactly like the one Andy McCluskey is wearing at 1.25 in 1984 and I still have it ! Doesn't fit any more of course 8-(
Still my favourite 2024.
My favourite 80s band by a mile... brilliant xD
Omg I love these guys
another great OMD song...truly luv it!
Heard this song while i was sitting in a jeep going along with the other

Same , but heard it on the radio today !!!
Ook van dit nummer hou ik nog steeds zielsveel... Kan er wel uren van genieten********!!!!!!!!************
