About Pandora's Box

"Pandora's Box", subtitled "It's a Long, Long Way" for the US release, is a song by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, released as the second single from their 1991 album Sugar Tax. The song, which deals with the less glamorous side of celebrity, was inspired by silent film actress Louise Brooks and is named after the 1929 film Pandora's Box in which she starred. The single was a top-ten hit in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. Three remixes were made for this release, remixed by Danny Griffiths, Carl Segal, and Steve Anderson respectively. Anderson's shorter remix is the main single version. Additional remixes and edits appear on promotional and limited editions. more »

Born in Kansas on an ordinary plain
Ran to New York but ran away from fame
Only seventeen when all your dreams came true
But all you wanted was someone to undress you

And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
Still the grace remains, the face has changed
And you’re still the same

And it’s a long, long way from where you want to be
Well, it’s a long, long road and you’re too blind to see

Frame of silence of an innocent divine
Is a dangerous creation when you fail the test of time

And all the photographs of ghosts of long ago
Still they hurt you, so won’t let you go
And you still don’t know

And it’s a long, long way from where you want to be
Well, it’s a long, long road and you’re too blind to see

When you look around yourself now
Do you recognize the girl?
The one who broke a thousand hearts
Terrified the world

And all the stars you kissed could never ease the pain
Lift the face has changed, the grace remains
And you’re still the same

And it’s a long, long way from where you want to be
Well, it’s a long, long road and you’re too blind to see

And it’s a long, long way from where you want to be
Well, it’s a long, long road and you’re too blind to see

And it’s a long, long way from where you want to be
Well, it’s a long, long road and you’re too blind to see
And it’s a long, long way

The band rose to fame with their fourth single "Enola Gay", which became a major hit throughout Europe in 1980, and achieved worldwide popularity the following year with their third album Architecture & Morality. Regarded as the band's seminal work, it spawned three international hit singles and propelled them to superstar status in their home country. OMD, whose music frequently eschewed traditional pop music arrangements in favour of experimentation, were retrospectively described by AllMusic's Ned Raggett as having been… more »
