Week Thirty-Five: Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - "Secret" - The Best of OMD

Did you miss me yesterday?!?! ;-) Believe me, it felt super-weird for me not to post anything, especially since I have been posting daily since May... it was almost as if I was shirking some major responsibility...

But on to more serious matters... Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (hereinafter referred to as OMD) is a band that has the uncanny ability to put me in a super-duper amazingly good mood, and since I feel that 2013 is going to be a super-duper amazingly good year, I determined that OMD would be the perfect band to usher in this New Year!

This song is such a sweet, sweet little tune. It just has a dreamy and soothing nature about it. Secrets are so much fun too! And in keeping with the New Year's theme, for me, a new  year always seems to be full of fresh starts and lots of little "secrets" waiting to reveal themselves over the coming months. 

I've got a secret and I can’t explain

All the time, I've waited for this day

All along I was never in doubt

I always knew it would never get out

There are things that I cannot tell 

And there are things that you know damn well

This is getting very hard for me

I guess you’d better just wait and see

This is all, this is all

You heard a message and the message was clear

All the time you wipe away that tear

All I want is to hold your hand

To see the sun and walk the sand

You make me sad and you make me glad

And now you see all my secret is this love

Is love, is love

My secret is this love

Everyday you’re always there

You comfort me

And make me feel it’s worth my while

And then I look around and you’re not there

And everyday you say you care and I’ll beware

This is all, this is all

I’ve got a secret and I can’t explain

All I want is to hold your hand

All along I was never in doubt

To see the sun and to walk the sand
