dude i've had this song in my head for YEARS....  like, ever since I was a child I've had this tune playing and I could never find it because it was only the turururu that got stuck in my head, so I couldn't search for lyrics... not to mention that I didn't understand English at the time... this year I heard it again at a town party and I WAS SO STOKED TO FIND IT, SO I ASKED EVERYONE I KNEW, AND NO ONE COULD HELP ME. AND NOW, SOME 5 MONTHS LATER, I STUMBLE UPON THIS BAND AND DOWNLOAD THEIR BEST OF, AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW, THIS SONG IS THERE. I'M A REALLY HAPPY PERSON TODAY.

@Mattyew

i know the feeling. i've searched for songs by typing "do's" and "da's" and even hummed into shazam to find songs, sometimes it just takes time and a bit of crazy passion to get to those old ones haha!

@arnaudmourier7783

Ah! Ah! Ah! I did this exact same thing at work because i couldn't find it in any 80' compilations! I hid myself into the servers room and hummed it into shazam, no need to say it didn't find anything… I found it by typing "1980 electro pop" on YouTube though, now i have this song stuck in my head for days… Makes me kind if depressed… I loved this song so much when i was 6, in 1981, now i'm 44 and it makes me sad...

Been there, I had a song from my childhood that I couldn´t find, I went to several record stores I sang the tururu tune to the clerks and nobody could help me, many years later I was in a cafeteria and suddenly it was my song playing on the speakers, now with an app of my smartphone I found the song and I was a very happy man. It was the song "I´m so excited" by the Pointer Sisters.

and I used to watch it together on a black-and-white television on the island
of Sardinia. Though I knew it was OMD, all I remembered was a car driving
throughout the clip. I finally found it. My father is now old. My grandmother and all my immediate family
is now gone. All I have is this song and the few others we used to share
together. “My feelings still remain…” along with an eternal void. This song captures it well.

@johnwayne1995

In the ’80s summers were endless. Time didn’t exist. Friends were the most important things, not iPhones. The girls were wonderful. The parties were awesome. Life had some optimistic aura. Love was felt so deep, everyone had time for me, we had everything we need to be happy, every kiss was larger than anything today, every dream was to come true, we were so imperfect but that made us just perfect, everything we felt was pure and deep, everything we were doing was innocent. And all those faces of my friend with those smiles....priceless. Clubs were awesome, music cut deeper into our hearts than anything today. We were innocent creatures who just wanted to give love, to be loved, to have good friends, and a lot of fun with them. Some of them are not with us anymore. I am sure that they waiting for me somewhere up there......and I am sure that when we meet again that we will be 17 again and that we will smile again, dance again, play guitar, that we will tell old stories again....ohh often I can't wait. In my adult life, I have responsibly done everything that was expected. I worked hard, paid my bills, find a great partner, traveled, suffered at my work, saved, sacrificed, invested, was kind, honest, responsible, and maintained health and friendships but no matter what I do and how hard I tried nothing, nothing ever come even close to the beauty of those years, to that innocence, to that intensity, to that first kiss. Nothing that I can expect in the rest of my life will ever come close to it. From now on it will be one problem after another, with deteriorating health and decay. Our Father, who art in heaven…if you think that I carried my cross long enough….take me back to that place and time of the 80s and just leave me there. That is my place for eternal life. And please keep my batteries in the Walkman always full.

In a nut shell.
It's my direction
It's my proposal
It's so hard
It's leading me astray
My obsession
It's my creation
You'll understand
It's not important now
All I need is
Co-ordination
I can't imagine
My destination
My intention
Ask my opinion
But no excuse
My feelings still remain
My feelings still remain.

This song..... what a gift. Saw them play 4 or 5 years ago here in ATL, sounded fantastic. All the comments here got me thinking... how idyllic our lives were in the 80s.. dominant culture was not guns, self promotion, dissing and canceling each other; bragging how great we are or how tough; posing for selfies to desperately sell ourselves over the competing images on social this or that. People weren't afraid of emotion, maybe even tenderness and wonder, ...or of getting shot if at a club at night. I am thankful for so much of that introspective and joyfully exuberant, more curious and genuine time.

@eponymousanonymous2571

Most beautifully melancholic song of the 80s. I'm so jealous of the songwriting and orchestration.

@vangelisalmond4237

I totally agree

@anahm8598

OMD is special! I still remember the first time I heard this song, all in detail. It started playing on the radio and I started recording it on my tape that I had on the cassette to record songs that I liked or that I discovered on the radio. As soon as I heard the first chords he conquered me. The most nostalgic melody I ever heard... This was music, it was the 80s, all soul❤

@Revelation1316

I have been looking fot his song for 43 years. I did not know who sang it, or even what the lyrics were, but I remembered the melody back in 1981, 1982. I probably heard it in a shop or on the raid or somthing. I like looking for rare and 'lost' 80's masterpieces and this one of them! Found it through You Tube music 'related'. An elegant, unique and even slightly accentric song...reminiscent of Cat Stevens and Orbonson with the brilliance of Sting. And naturally British.

@MOLLETHERVE

This song, this band are the symbol of the 80s, creative, elegant and aesthetic... An ode to good taste and life... Blessed be the 80s, I was 20 years old and I was devouring life and living at 100 km hour... That was good!

Not just a seminal track but a true masterpiece, due to the fact it harmoniously marries melody, lyricism and evocative expression 💯

A very simple video that you can watch three decades later and still see the magic of an era in it.

Absolutely amazing song. Loved it in the 80s, the song, the group and still do. Makes me so nostalgic and brings back so many incredible memories. Enjoyed it so much that decided to use it in the short. Love everything about OMD and this song. Thank you for great memories.

Born in 74, grew up through the 80’s, the thing about that time is we were living through the greatest decade and we probably didn’t know it at the time, but then you come to YouTube and you can take yourself back there to a life where everything was so much better and simpler and the music was outta this world, thank you for the memories 😎

Listening to this stops me dead in my tracks and immediately catapults me back to my teenage youth of first loves, zero worries, even less responsibilities and a happier life. I can remember spending my first summer in the USA as a 18 year old Brit making love to the most gorgeous American girl to the entire OMD album. This song and anything else from their 1988 ‘best of omd’ album literally sends me into a temporary paralysis with happy nostalgic vibes. Thank god for music, talented artists and technology. Go forth and enjoy. Remembering CeAnn, Seattle, 1993. Best summer ever…
