Glad to know I'm not the only "older" person loving good music lol Do you like Erasure as the synths, a good frontman & beautiful songs are common in both.
I was 15 years old when this song was out. No responsibilities , no bills, just a kid in an era where music was good and there was no hate like there is today. Good times.
holy shit, you could not get better pitch perfect than that, drums perfect, singing perfect, keyboard perfect, you leave everyone miles behind for perfection
That's what happens when you actually had to have talent and practice to be in the music business. You worked your way up, so by the time you were able to headline, you were flawless (at least in the eyes of the audience). I look at rock bands today, and realize that bands that were considered not as musically talented in their day (Green Day, Offspring, Bangels, etc) blow today's bands out of the water simply because they have that experience, practice, and had a higher barrier of entry when they were coming up.
Test For Victor I was born in 1999 and even growing up I never connected with modern music. Thankfully I discovered OMD and it led me to discover other great bands from that era, New Order, Depeche Mode, Human League, Ultravox. Just goes to show how well that music holds up!
i love when songs from the 80's are kept or tried to be kept the same sounding as it was in the 80's...this is pretty spot on. when the first synth hits, it caught me off guard...its breathtaking
j burggg agreed. There is a geat documentary about OMD on TH-cam. They explained they were reunited with their original analog tape reels which had all the individual instrument tracks to all their songs. They digitized them for safe keeping. And most importantly that allowed them to recreate their original hits faithfully with the new gear 👍
80's Where artists were really talented and can sing studio quality without auto tunes Where people live the moment NOT record the moment Where people vividly remember through their memory NOT electronic memory Where people get high on LIFE not ice, ecstasy or meth. Where people go to the music for the Music not alcohol or drugs.
Same with my youngest daughter born in 2008 ... I have LOTS OF new wave songs from the 80's on my iPhone ... I always play the playlist (including OMD If You Leave) when I drive her to her activities and she loves these songs.
I was 16 when this came out. Epic track. The sound of the 80's. They still sound damn good. This is surprisingly amazing. Still got the voice - loved this. Thanks OMD
I was 15 when this song came out. I finally got to see them in concert just 2 days ago in Missoula Montana. These guys were amazing and sound as good in 2019 as they did 30 years ago!
This live performance is great. I’ve loved this song ever since it was released, back when I was 12. I believed every word and shivered with every unexpected chord change. It’s beautiful in form and arrangement.
Gracias OMD por esta obra de arte,me recuerda algunas épocas gloriosas de mi vida.......sonaba en todas las discos y bares de Buenos Aires por los 80'.......gracias por esta maravilla
Ultimate classic 80’s New Wave hit that’s still sounds great whenever it comes on. Blast this while driving & somehow it takes you back in time -temporality anyway. He still has the same energy & voice after all these years. Simply amazing!
It isn't often that any band can deliver a live performance that stands up well to its own studio recording, but here we have one - and 25 years later, no less! Amazing. Just terrific.
This song was voted as the song that best represented the 80s. For me, every word reminds me of a very painful loss when I was 26. She was my soul mate. Life took her away from me and all I have is the shell of a memory and this song. I miss her every day.
Oh, My .. OMD, one of my favorite British bands during the late 80's. This song is such a classic . They sound so good . It’s like a great memory for moi. Never forget when I first saw them in concert when I was around 20 yrs old. They opened up for DEPECHE MODE. What a Special Night that was for me to experience : )
Im 53 and i tell you what the 80's was the best years of my life. And this is when music was real music!! None of this gibber gabber shit like they are playing now days. I can't make any since out of the shit they playing now. Can anyone?
Cuando algo es bueno lo es y pasará tradendente a través del tiempo, como este grupo, música de verdad, y cantantes de peso, nunca morirá esté tipo de música
If you leave my favourite of so many of your tracks to be honest you never did a bad hit 1980s till now 2020 listening in lockdown to amazing music stay safe omd everyone stay strong sending love from headway Nottingham UK well done guys xxx
Sorry about that lads but its Brilliant and I love hearing it live. Was 18 when I first heard it live,front row when you could actually rest on edge of stage!!!!!!! Those were days, you would get to gig early as poss to get front view because you could, didn't need to pay for privilege. Was sang to for a while. Still starstruck🤩 Massive OMD fan, saw them recently and they're as good as ever. Love this, thankyou!
Andy and Paul are the most unlikely yet loveable pop stars you could hope for. They truly are "the Beatles" of new wave. I would love to see them live!! Long live the 80's, unparalleled music. Talk talk, simple minds, new order, modern talking, psychedelic furs, talking heads, rosy music, reflex, FGTH, shriek back, style council, Paul young, nick kershaw
1980s was the best decade ever for me, the best music, the freedom, no social media shit which I will not even consider getting involved with. My marriage my first child God please someone invent a time machine so I can live my best 10 years again and again and again 😁
Who's listening to this in 2024 and wishing they were back in the 80s? Me too!
Me too! ❤
ME..
Me!
Yooo !! OMD ❤FOREVER❤
Boss song,,,, from the wirral
This song epitomizes the 80's music, for us who lived through it firsthand we are truly fortunate, the best music ever made.
Are you kidding me?? This song is a stellar gem no matter HOW much time passes or what type of music you’re evolving into to!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We all wish we back to the 80s music was best ever and still millions of us still listening now sheer class enjoy
I love this. He's dancing like no one's watching.
I am 65 years old and still love and listen this song in 2024!
Wow he sounds as good as I remember....only to be a teen again
What a performance! Cleanest live version so far.
I agree an epic performance
instantly brings me back to the 80s
This is one of the most fantastic songs of a seminal decade: The 80s! Its appeal and sound transcends!
Very true 💖💖🪙🟢
Golden
Agree
Ich muss wie heute auch wieder,immer weinen. Warum auch immer. Bin 2 Fach Oma und voller Emotionen.
Soll wohl so sein.
Einfach mega Band .
Andy's voice still sounds as good now as it did in the 80s and by the way,I love this song.😊👏
you serious?
He sounds like a bad karaoke version of hinself. Still love them though but I’ll stick to the 80s version.
Yeah nah, he sounds nothing like he did back in the 80's.
he sounds drunk as fck here
Such a really sexy voice 😍🌹
Am 81 yrs old,I still love this song and Pretty in Pink too .i like his natural voice and performance
Glad to know I'm not the only "older" person loving good music lol Do you like Erasure as the synths, a good frontman & beautiful songs are common in both.
Im 20 years old, I have to agree his voice is immaculate in this live verison
Is that pretty in pink by the psychedelic furs?
33 years later, they are "still f#cking great!"
will always be a OMD fan
Amen!
I'm going from TD to OMD and back and back.... Round and round.... Is out there anyone to jion me???
Couldn't have put it any better.An incredible live performance
That's right. ❤
Yesh this tune will stay,forever, in my brain.
Absolute classic!one of the most underrated bands ever!
No one will ever tire of listening to this song!
True n me still
Agree...NEVER! 🎶
Never...never and Never!!!
Never
I only tired after about the 5 thousandth time so i get your point.
Its still fuggin' great in 2018!
Im 55 and still listening ...for more than 40 years
I was 15 years old when this song was out. No responsibilities , no bills, just a kid in an era where music was good and there was no hate like there is today. Good times.
Well said sir!
Same here :-)
You can't notice it much as a teen, but there was just as much hate back then as there is now, it's just that it moved up a social class
Anthony SALERNO Yes... no hate like today...
I concur wholeheartedly. My idea of heaven is to be 15 again with my family and friends.
I'm 63 now this is the music of my life. A day does not go by without an OMD tune somewhere squeezed in.
Right?
holy shit, you could not get better pitch perfect than that, drums perfect, singing perfect, keyboard perfect, you leave everyone miles behind for perfection
That's what happens when you actually had to have talent and practice to be in the music business. You worked your way up, so by the time you were able to headline, you were flawless (at least in the eyes of the audience).

The most real dancing on the stage of a multi talented performer ever. Ever.
They are awesome! They defined the mid 80's with that song! Pretty in Pink...
I had no idea. Thanks for refreshing my memory th-cam.com/video/u47wHpopOfU/w-d-xo.html
I’m 55 yrs old I graduated in 1986 best music in the 80s OMG I miss those days
I'm 54 now and I totally agree with you👍
Don't we all
I'm 58 now great music then in the 80s best days of life, brilliant
I’m 58 myself & miss the 80’s music 🎶 like crazy! 😌
It’s so relaxing 😎 to me!
right
It's too bad I have to grow up with today's shitty music. This song alone beats all of what we hear around these days.
landon The 2010's music has been particularly bad compared to every decade before it.
landon indeed!
Totally agreed, in fact this is actually one of my favs from the 80's, I listen to it often
Nevermind today's music, I was born in 1993 and I don't like today's shitty music. All my fave music was released before 1993 hahhaa

He killed it 🕺🏻
How all of us over 40 dance when we are home alone
New wave dance 💖
80's
Where artists were really talented and can sing studio quality without auto tunes
Where people live the moment NOT record the moment
Where people vividly remember through their memory NOT electronic memory
Where people get high on LIFE not ice, ecstasy or meth.
Where people go to the music for the Music not alcohol or drugs.

Same with my youngest daughter born in 2008 ... I have LOTS OF new wave songs from the 80's on my iPhone ... I always play the playlist (including OMD If You Leave) when I drive her to her activities and she loves these songs.

My favorite is at 3:25.
He's dancing with his heart.
..7 yrs later and your comment is still the best!
Siii
This live performance is great. I’ve loved this song ever since it was released, back when I was 12. I believed every word and shivered with every unexpected chord change. It’s beautiful in form and arrangement.
Note to the youngsters: yes, we did dance like that in the 80’s.
too funny!
Andy is working hard for his money...bless his heart, he is an awesome singer!

Love and healing to you
Whoa, he can actually sing... (A lot of artists can't sing live...)
They could in the 80s.. The real deal singers.
And still he can sustained his voice while dancing! What a great singer AWESOME!
He probably took vocal lessons to get back to were he was in the 80s
He.s the bollocks live ....no other artist comes close 2 him ....
@@wawawswfc4957 he is great live..but so is Robert Smith of the cure.and Morrissey

Cool song from a cool movie. He still sounds great !!!!
This song expertly evokes that pivotal moment in time when love is fleeting and everything's riding on the moment prom night.
So you got laid?
Dios! Con la voz intacta! Muy pocos pueden conseguirlo, Dave Gahan de Depeche Mode por ejemplo nunca decayó. Amo Omd!!!!
La canción más bella de OMD la adoro💓💓💓💓💓😍
They still sound fantastic! This is great music! Can we go back to the 80's, Please?
One of the greatest songs to ever come out of the eighties . A timeless classic.
Oh, My .. OMD, one of my favorite British bands during the late 80's. This song is such a classic . They sound so good . It’s like a great memory for moi. Never forget when I first saw them in concert when I was around 20 yrs old. They opened up for DEPECHE MODE. What a Special Night that was for me to experience : )

Andy and Paul are the most unlikely yet loveable pop stars you could hope for. They truly are "the Beatles" of new wave. I would love to see them live!! Long live the 80's, unparalleled music. Talk talk, simple minds, new order, modern talking, psychedelic furs, talking heads, rosy music, reflex, FGTH, shriek back, style council, Paul young, nick kershaw
Light & Dark I think you put omd in the new romantics group of music in the 80s
They are brilliant live. Try and see them soon!!!!!!!
This is what happen when you get older.....we don't know if you are dancing or having a seizer

OMD is extremely talented! Love them so much. ❤
Saw them in concert this year in Colorado. Still a great band with great songs!!
Beautiful song from an awesome era ! The 1980s ohhh wow how I wish time had stood still !
