- Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys of OMD stopped by our studios to share the story of how their iconic song "If You Leave" was created for the movie "Pretty In Pink". There were a lot of "first times" for them with this song as you'll find out watching, unless of course... if you leave.

I will never, ever, ever tire of this song.
These two guys have great chemistry and they love each other's company that's why OMD is still a great band after all these years.
Back in the day when the "Alternative" section of the record store was OMD, New Order, Depeche Mode, Kitaro, Enya.
JJ Ryan Kitaro!! Wow that takes me back. I think I had one called Silk Road and it was one of the first CDs I bought. Will now listen again...
Thanks for that
Alternative, or new wave, or college rock. Depending on who's asking back then
@@Mirokuofnite Alot of great bands or genres fell in those categories.
@@markusantonio4866 And now I hear The Cure and The Smiths in Walgreens and wonder if nothing's sacred anymore.
Different times, arguably better times.
I never knew musicians who wrote a song for a movie like OMD for Pretty in Pink were able to be that involved in the script. Great work gentleman.
Great Band! Souvenir is one of my favorite songs.
much better than if you leave
One of the best songs ever!
have you listen to Souvenir, Maid of orleans ,Enola gay or joan of arc to name a few?? i hate if you leave,...
Álvaro Vega good for you
@@logonazo Those are good as well.
They accidentally wrote probably the most iconic 80s song ever
Loved Paul's jacket in the video..
I can just feel the teenage 80s vibes. I had this on a mix tape.
Such a fun video. It just looks like so much fun to talk about a great song and how it all came together. One of the best Behind The Vinyls I've seen.
Lovely commentary. One of the best BTV vids of the series. It's also an example of how playing the song more quietly in the background gives the artists more headspace, if you will, to think and talk.
I just love how Northern these old darlings are. Brilliant!
Oh, I love Andy and Paul!. So funny, down to earth, and really enjoyable and interesting to listen to. I only started getting into OMD recently but If You Leave was ALWAYS one of my all time fave 80's songs.Never get tired of hearing it.
dirtysouthlepluv they’re so great live.
I’ve heard the story many times, but I loved hearing it over the music. I think their early creativity came from being challenged to make music with borrowed and built instruments, and this song challenged them again to make due with what they could get. It is different from all their other work, and yet still bears their personality.
How did i not see this till now. Brilliant.
Millions of People
Around The World
Applaud You.
Keep Touring OMD
Please Come Back
To Australia.
McCluskey and Humphreys talking about my least favourite OMD song is still a treat.
Classic OMD!
glorious
Amazing band and guys. Their first 4 records are brilliant.
I love all their albums
aw, andy and paul are practically married-- and happily! this is like when you meet really great couples and you're a little jealous but happy for them
I mean they're talking about a fancy lads clothing store after busting the 4th wall about Ducky & John Hughes 3 minutes earlier.
Thank you Gentlemen for the memories!!!
I wish they would talk about “Forever Live and Die”, my fave OMD track.
Just found these and am working my way through all the songs I know. What a great series! Fantastic. Put on the music and let them talk! Brilliant!
It's amazing that this classic song was written as a response to the original song being rejected because of a script change. Funny how things work like that sometimes.
Luv these guys music still to this days, even Paul at one time collaborated with Claudia Brucken from PROGANDA a band ONE TWO. This song will never grow old one of 80s signature classic hits.
Their collaboration went beyond the studio.
@@martinconnor9840 haha yes it is...don't know though if they are still collaborating.
Absolutely love this song! Instant memories from the '80's. Thanks for the upload!
Under rated band.
They are just beyond likable. I've never really investigated OMD outside of this song but now, just based on how incredibly well they come off here, I kind of have to. Off I go.
this song and True i can listen back to back for hours.
Great song guys.
Legendary.
I'm not as old as a lot if my music would indicate. I love their older stuff but sugar tax and liberator will always have a special place in my heart.
'Walk Tall', 'All That Glitters' and 'King of Stone' are very beautiful songs.
Thats awesome how they got their extra 20 seconds
Cool stories..love them!
This is one of my top 10 favourite of the 1980s.
Giorgio's studio....wow
Great stories. Thanks
I fucking LOVE OMD!
Loved it
Amazing track, remenber my school times
The track itself was supposed to be mixed by Chris Lord Alge but given that he had so many other projects on, his brother Tom ended up mixing this track.
Love you!
😎 cool interview 👍
it's good to see how you guys still have a good tight partnership unlike Roland and Kurt With tears for fears and more where they kind of didnt even want to talk to each other at all for longest time this was great glad to see you guys.
John Hughes a great Chicago Suburban guy died way too soon..
course thanksgiving's coming up time to watch planes trains and automobiles those aren't pillows!!
and thanks for another one this is why I subscribe to your channel boom...
I thought Roland and Kurt were cool now?
@@blueyestu7950 yeah I type too fast it was supposed to be they didn't..
that unlike Creedence Clearwater Revival and styx and a whole host of others.
going to change my comment and edit it now thanks but yeah they're back together and rocking away here in 2019 going into 2020 which is awesome..
songs from the big chair still holds up so good to this day
@@50milliondownthedraintonym16 split up but they stayed friends and just didn't perform
I love it. How cruel is the world. Ducky got jilted not once, but by all the women in world. It did seem like they were going to end up. Darn test screening. // I love the conversation between these. I love the creative process. Yeah I sympathize with all those limitations that end up moot. LOL on the 4:02.
I was gonna cover it until i realized i’d have to navigate all those key changes.
In the mid 80s I saw these guys at a student ball room, they were standing on the floor 3feet away! They opened for the Thompson twins but omd was better!
smoking and walking down the school hallway..lol...spader rocks
Ducky deserved way better.
She should've chosen Duckie.
i have heard so many stories about this original ending with Duckie actually getting the girl. has this ending ever been released? ive certainly never seen it. and what about the song they say they originally recorded for the scene, anyone know what song that was and if it was ever released? every girl i ever dated from the late 80s through the 90s and into the early 2000s had had a crush on Duckie and didnt understand why Andie didnt. but i mean honestly he was like 15 and she was 17 or 18 or something for starters.
OMD had so many absolutely great songs, its a shame they are remembered here as a one hit wonder.
Ha! I thought the ending was great. Duckie was the hero, and in the end I imagine he gets the girl, just not Molly. The hairpiece that Blane wears in the end is awful! The song was Goddess of Love, but somehow different from the song they released on Pacific Age. Most girls I knew disliked Blane, so I don’t get that. OMD around here are best described as the band everyone loves, and no one knows who they are.
@@erickchristianson5416 I wanted her to end with Ducky too. I really didn't like Blaine.
OMD = old mans dessert 🧁
parecen 2 tias chimenteras comentando haha
Andy McCluskey saying someone else (or something else) so up its backside. Couldn't write it.
I really don't like this song. It's so saccharin, it's making me nauseous.
Then why did you even click on this video? 🙄
@@dirtysouthlepluv Cause I'm a masochist, I guess...
Do you have any favorite OMD songs?
@@djkenny1202 The Messerschmitt Twins
i hate that song although i love very very much OMD (one of their worst songs in fact)
Non-sense! It is a great song!
That's merely your simple opinion. No one cares, really. It's a great song.
This makes me laugh because I saw a clip of OMD at a concert in Mexico where Andy was p*sing and moaning about how the “U S of fing A” destroyed this song for them because it wasn’t how they wanted it. I love the band and have been a fan, but that has always been a sticking point for me. Why, if you’re so distraught over not doing it your way, would you do it then? Made quite a pile of American cash off this song and to this very day keep taking American money by touring here.
Didn't happen.
@@jpalvarez4972 uh, it sure did. Check this link and see for yourself. czcams.com/video/tfboIf-QqjQ/video.html
Glad you asked. It’s more simpler than you think:
1. They’re artists, first and foremost. They make art. Not hits.
2. They had never been in a position where they to unfollow their usual routine of creating music. That can absolutely be consequential.
3. Sometimes it’s embarrassing to all of a sudden have people come up to you and hound you in public. Especially overnight. You’re not prepared for that type of rocket ship stardom. I don’t care how notorious you want to be or how hard you work towards success.
4. For a band form the UK and Australia to have success in the US is nothing to slouch at. Alas, when most Americans remember you for a song that you feel was rushed, there’s some resentment.
5. The song is 120 bpm and the synth drum sounds on this song sounds more tinny than St. Anger. I don’t know how that’s possible. Plus all of those constant key changes will be enough to damage one’s audio receptors.
6. They tried to replicate IYL with “Dreaming” two years later. Less key changes but still nothing like IYL. I worked in radio. Specifically Classic Hits. You couldn’t go an hour without this song being played. After a while, you get sick of yourself.
Sometimes artists are stubborn and they think their way is the only way. In this case, the limitations on the artists enhanced their creativity and they came up with a timeless hit!
I still remember how that whiny, keening vocal grated on me.
@Taylor Holloway Lol for real. Why do people show up on vids only to be a buzzkill and complain? I love Andy's "whiny" voice. Suits him perfectly.
About the only song from them I don't like
I’ve heard the story many times, but I loved hearing it over the music. I think their early creativity came from being challenged to make music with borrowed and built instruments, and this song challenged them again to make due with what they could get. It is different from all their other work, and yet still bears their personality.
