You are a few years younger than m father dear Lady. But i guess he also heard it from my room. And why i mentioned my father is because my parents are divorced.
Omd probably one of the most underrated bands of the 80s by those who didn't appreciate great music by great musicians that is... Omd were ahead of their time..
After living through the 1980's as a kid it was the best times of my life. Now that I'm 55 it REALLY touches you how beautiful the music was. The 80's music will ALWAYS touch my heart.
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.
The UK 80's chart will be forever legendary -- If you were there you will understand perfectly why that is. I'll never get over my youth; nor do I ever want to. Listening 15/7/24... will keep listening as long as I draw breath. I turned 17 in '80 - How lucky can you be. 🙂😊
It’s a pity that the video is set up so eloquently and historically correct but the chess players are playing with the board the wrong way round. (White square right corner).
@Maad Wunz The drumming at the start is a bit similar. I used to think OMD played lovely music but their lyrics were a bit twee in comparison to Joy Division. Mind you not too many indie bands were as dark as Joy Division.
Spooky. I can remember the exact same thing when I first heard Oxygene part IV on my dad's car stereo when I was 6. I thanked my dad for introducing me to Jean Michael Jarre. Sounds like you feel the same way about this. Gives me goosebumps too by the way, there's just something about this record.
We loved the 80s, growing up and enjoying life in the 80s and we loved OMD. It was the best era in music and entertainment in general. How do we know this music was the best and timeless, because we loved it then and we love it even more so now, realizing that it will never repeat itself in music, movies or feelings. Thank you OMD and that decade of entertainment for incredible memories.
It was the best of times and the worst of times. Great music,great clothes, great hair, great cars but always hanging over us the idiotic power games between USA and USSR. anyway I am ,57 now and I do not give a flying fuck, Over the last 4 years the world I knew has descended into trans madness. I really believe the end is nigh for the human race.
550 years after the death of the Real Joane of Arc, OMD brings the musican version alive. This track is everything that makes electronic music of the 80's to the best. Than this track starts, my world stops for a while. Thanks for this outstanding masterpiece of music and sound in history ❤.
Kudos to the director Steve Barron for this superlative MTV. Great storytelling that truly gives credibility and presence to this most wonderful OMD track.
This classic was in the charts exactly 40 years ago, my first Christmas after leaving school, what a time to be 16 years old going to the pub and playing this and many others on the jukebox
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
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.
As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up with this music! It is always nice to hear this masterpiece and to remember the best time in our young years, because all that remains in our hearts are our memories, while everything else fades away! Als Kind der 70´s und 80´s bin ich mit dieser Musik aufgewachsen! Immer wieder schön dieses Meisterwerk zu hören und sich an die beste Zeit in jungen Jahren zu erinnern, denn alles was in unseren Herzen zurück bleibt sind unsere Erinnerungen, während alles andere vergeht!
Madre mía!!! Que música tan bonita, la escucho una y otra vez y no me cansa. Que distinta de las músicas de hoy día. Llenas de ordinariez y sin melodía.
Está canción es, sin duda, una de las mejores de la historia de la humanidad. Dentro de 1000 años seguirá sonando y siendo igual de buena que hoy. Saludos.❤
Zgadza się. Gdy słucham tej piosenki z wielkim trudem powstrzymuje łzy, a przecież mezczyźnie nie wypada ..nie znajdę słów aby określić to co czuje słuchając tego utworu, a teledysk wprost zachwyca na nowo...to była niesamowita era muzyki lat 80. Chyba sam Bóg zstąpił na chwilę i pomógł wykonawcom bo to wydaje się niemozliwe aby śmiertelny człowiek stworzył coś nieśmiertelnego i wiecznego 🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️🔥♥️
For me, this is the greatest song and video from OMD. I'm 57 and when I hear the first notes I still get goose bumps. March 15th 2022.. I got those goose bumps again when they played those first notes at the Royal Albert Hall last night. Andy, Paul, Martin & Stuart, thank you for a fantastic concert. 26 live songs in all their glory.
I saw them live in Manchester last month... this has always been my favourite OMD song ... to hear it played live was electric! I am nearly 59, a true '80s teen & forever grateful for it.
Haha. I'm 58 and this song blew me away as a 19 year old in New Zealand. I think we were fortunate to live during the 80s and appreciate what it has given us.
I bought the 7" vinyl single I've still got it lying around somewhere or other. I heard it on the radio the other day I had to come here to listen to it again.
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.
La Doncella de Orleans es un icono de la música electrónica de los ochenta. Un homenaje a la Santa Juana de Arco después de ser capturada durante la Guerra de Los Cien años cuando encabeza las tropas francesas . Una mezcla del medievo y lo sensorial a través del ritmo de la caja y el teclado electrónico. Me evoca los años ochenta de mi adolescencia. Gracias OMD por componer temas tan sublimes .
El valls de Santa Juana de arco. En el vinilo original de ellos del 81,y el recopilatorio del 88,lo ponía. Preciosa la canción. Julia Tobin es la actriz que protagoniza el vídeo.
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).
Incredible how a particular song can transport you back in time,this being a favourite of mine.I was 15 and remember sitting in my classroom staring out of the window without a care in the world. Mom and dad back home looking after me,grans,grandads, aunts and uncles still a part of my life.They no longer with me but Maid of Orleans gives me a glimpse of what I once had thx OMD🙏🙏
I was born and raised in the GDR and I loved OMD from the first time. Especially when I couldn't hear the music legally whenever I wanted. So it was very special to listen to them. ❤️
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.
This was one of my mums favourite songs, she took her own life many years ago, sometimes it will come on the radio just at the right time and take my breath away for a second, that intro is haunting!
The sad thing is that some of my youth have already left, of course much too early, but it shows that the impacts are getting closer, oh man, how did I love my youth and the 80s 👍😢
OMD were years ahead of their time , well done Andy and the rest of the Birkenhead lads , its 2022 we're on the verge of war and this track still sounds brilliant, im 54 now , just proves how good omd really were
One of OMD's finest. One of the top synth musical masterpieces ever written. WAY ahead of its time and If this song freaks you out listen to "Sealand" on "Architecture & Morality"
+skyhawk747 "One of OMD's finest." Agreed. Have you seen the sci-fi tv show "Hunters"? If you like that song and you haven't seen the series - DO NOT start watching it. If you have... well...
I used to live across the street from Andy Mccluskeys mum in my early teens and used to see him all of the time, I just stood and stared in complete awe, he always smiled at me and I never had the nerve to ask for his autograph!
Wow!! Saw them last night in Manchester... they were absolutely superb! It took me four decades to see my favourite '80s band - so glad I finally got there :)
Love this track, I'm 53 so I remember it well. A beautiful song. Another gorgeous song is Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins. Both these songs are waltz's
I bought this album the week it came out here in Toronto. A friend told me to buy it. I had no idea what it was. I must have listened to it dozens of times mesmerized by the sound the day I bought it. It was so electronic, it was so unique. At the time I was listening to the Clash, Specials, Beat.... this just blew me away. And I still have this album. My kids love it.
I can see myself laying on the floor in the lounge room playing the 7inch vinyl of this song over and over, the intro is eerie AF, I don't ever remember a song making me so emotional as this one, rock on Joan of Arc!
I love this song and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Joan of Arc’. When all hope is lost, then sometimes help comes from the most unlikely quarters. It shouldn’t happen, but it does.

Sorry for the loss of your loving mum, Sending my condolences to you and your family.
Yet another testament to the greatness of 80's music.

"One of OMD's finest."
Agreed.
Have you seen the sci-fi tv show "Hunters"?
If you like that song and you haven't seen the series - DO NOT start watching it.
If you have... well...
+skyhawk747 Agreed
Loved OMD as a kid.. Today is pretty haunting when i listen..
I used to live across the street from Andy Mccluskeys mum in my early teens and used to see him all of the time, I just stood and stared in complete awe, he always smiled at me and I never had the nerve to ask for his autograph!
Who could dislike this wonderful song???
Wow!! Saw them last night in Manchester... they were absolutely superb! It took me four decades to see my favourite '80s band - so glad I finally got there :)
Glad you got to see them,I’m the same 40 years on and finally going to see them in march next year.👏👏👏🙏🙏
Love this track, I'm 53 so I remember it well. A beautiful song. Another gorgeous song is Sugar Hiccup by the Cocteau Twins. Both these songs are waltz's
What a f’king classic!!! 🥰 I’d almost completely forgotten about it 😒
An absolute work of art. Simple and class. A masterpiece. This is why this great era for music will never bow out. Forever trapped!
I'm a tough guy, but, genuinely,i feel like crying when i hear this. Reminds me of good times long ago. Times not so good for me now. life sucks.
So atmospheric. Love it !!
absolutamente, es genial!
Use to wag school listening to this album
Wow, going back over the music i grew up with just fills me with happiness. OMD were out of the box
Una canción con un calado muy profundo que emociona el ALMA .🙏❤️🇪🇸
This is just so heart touching. Great song. Best OMD song ever.

...as long as the generations of the 80s are still alive this music will never die! So, let's live forever....! ♾
One of my favorite song from my teenage days, till today and forever... Truly masterpiece...
1 OF MY ALL TIMES FAVOURITE SONGS, AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE. GREAT.
Bin 17 und höre dieses Lied so oft und bekomme trotzdem jedes Mal Gänsehaut
Ich bin 58 und höre das Lied jeden Tag bestimmt 3x. Ein Song für die Ewigkeit.
Geht mir genauso. Geht auch nach fast 40 Jahren immernoch tief unter die Haut.
I bought this album the week it came out here in Toronto. A friend told me to buy it. I had no idea what it was. I must have listened to it dozens of times mesmerized by the sound the day I bought it. It was so electronic, it was so unique. At the time I was listening to the Clash, Specials, Beat.... this just blew me away. And I still have this album. My kids love it.
OMG.Wspaniały zespół ♥️.I moja pierwsza kaseta właśnie z OMD.Muza lat 80-tych The best
Mam 24 lata i za młodu katowałem ich kasetę i nie żałuję bo piękna nostalgia płynie 😍
I can see myself laying on the floor in the lounge room playing the 7inch vinyl of this song over and over, the intro is eerie AF, I don't ever remember a song making me so emotional as this one, rock on Joan of Arc!
Einer der besten 80er. Supersong. Geht mir immer noch nicht aus dem Kopf. Gänsehaut.
This song becomes ever more beautiful each time I hear it. My favourite 80's band -- OMD. Pure class!
I love this song and Leonard Cohen’s ‘Joan of Arc’. When all hope is lost, then sometimes help comes from the most unlikely quarters. It shouldn’t happen, but it does.
Dieses Lied wird alle Zeiten überleben!
This song is so beautiful
THIS tune commands respect!! Beyond beautiful!
If you’re watching this in 2023, you’re a legend. 👏🏻👏🏻
Great song
Roll on march 2024 so I get to hear it live at Ipswich
They were brilliant at Heritage Live in Audley End 11th August 23. Don’t know where he gets his energy from!
I am
My grandfathers songs can’t beat it
Zoooo mooi nummer dit.. Als kind was ik gek op de clip.. De muziek is prachtig!! ❤❤
