We Love You

About We Love You

"We Love You" is a song by British band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released as the second single from their 1986 album, The Pacific Age. According to Q, the "brilliant" track is sung from the perspective of a working class citizen conscripted under a totalitarian regime, for which he feigns adoration. The "We love you" refrain was also designed to be interpreted as an expression of gratitude to the OMD listener base; the group's fanclub was invited to appear in the single's accompanying music video. In a retrospective review of "We Love You", AllMusic critic Dave Thompson wrote that the song "had all the makings of a smash [hit]", while praising its instrumentation and "splendidly anthemic chorus". He also observed "barely veiled lyrics with anti-militaristic intent". Trouser Press felt that the "catchy" track, along with previous single "(Forever) Live and Die", are the only worthwhile songs on The Pacific Age. more »

Gotta get a message to the starg in our pockets for a rainy day
But here we are, in trouble like we always are
Just praying for a miracle
Reaching for the stars

We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday

We've gotta get a message
We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday

Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway

It's just another promise

Never really knowing what we're fighting for

We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway

We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway

We love you
Would die for you
We need you everyday
Oh, we love you
Wouldn't leave you
We miss you faraway

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are a British New Wave group formed in 1978, whose founding members, Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England.
