'(Forever) Live and die' was released as the first single from Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's 1986 album 'The pacific age'. Lead vocals were performed by Paul Humphreys, unlike most OMD singles.The single peaked at number 11 in the UK and became OMD's second hit in the USA, peaking at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Its biggest success was achieved in the Netherlands, where the single peaked at number 3.

big fan of this song, though the 12" version did nothing to enhance it (too bombastic).
ReplyDeletethanks for posting.
Mmmm....I think the 12" version is one of the best mixes ever made for any artist
