"If You Leave" is a 1986 vocal by English electronic ring Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD). Information technology was recorded for the soundtrack to the motion picture Pretty in Pinkish (1986), in which information technology is played prominently during the final scene. Along with 1980'south "Enola Gay", the track has been described as OMD's signature song.

"If Yous Leave" is the group'southward highest-charting single on the United states Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number four in May 1986. The song was likewise a Top 5 entry in Canada and New Zealand, and charted at number 15 in Australia. A defining track of the 1980s, it was described by Interview as "one of the virtually influential, zeitgeist-capturing songs ever to be written" In the video of the song, you tin see Molly Ringwald making occasional cameo appearances.

Composition [edit]

The end of the film Pretty in Pink, ready in a loftier schoolhouse prom, was originally meant to feature the OMD vocal "Goddess of Love" (which the band released on The Pacific Age later in 1986.)[one] Nevertheless, manager John Hughes decided to change the ending to Pretty in Pinkish after poor test audition reactions, and felt that the new ending required a vocal with different lyrical content. Hughes asked OMD for a new song to match the feel of the catastrophe, and as well specified that it should be written at a tempo of 120 BPM, to friction match the speed of "Don't You (Forget About Me)", which the actors in the scene had danced to during filming.[ii] This asking came 2 days before OMD were due to begin a tour, and as a result "If You Exit" was written and recorded in nether 24 hours.[one]

Lyrically the band has stated that the song is about "The end of high school... the catastrophe of your childhood", elaborating that they were trying to capture "this fear of what comes adjacent".[3] Vocalizer Andy McCluskey later noted that an editing fault meant the dancing appears out of sync despite the matched tempo.[2]

Reception and legacy [edit]

"If You Get out" has garnered both praise and derision since its release. Ian Cranna in Smash Hits wrote that the song is "false and contrived and seems to last most 3 years" (merely described Great britain B-side "88 Seconds in Greensboro" equally "OMD at their blazing best").[4] On the other hand, Chicago Sun-Times announcer Dennis Hunt asserted that the track "is as well good to be ignored".[5] Retrospectively, Alfred Soto of The Hamlet Voice said it "starts promisingly" and features "admirably straightforward" lyrics, but ended: "Gradually the annoyances get menaces. The parts are garish, overstated; information technology's a chaotic mix."[half-dozen] Trouser Printing called the song a "dull carol" that "was thankfully omitted from OMD's subsequent album, The Pacific Age".[seven]

Conversely, Stereogum critic Ryan Leas considered the rails to be amongst "the all-time songs of the '80s", and described its intro/chorus synthesizer tune as "i of the best sounds ever".[8] Andrew Unterberger in Stylus Mag said that the "gorgeous" song makes the terminal scene of Pretty in Pink "ane of the best in cinematic history".[9] AllMusic announcer Mike DeGagne named "If You Leave" every bit the best track from Pretty in Pinkish, adding that "its adult feel and smooth transition from stanza to chorus makes information technology [OMD'south] most memorable song".[10]

Hugo Lindgren in The New York Times Magazine argued that the stateside popularity of "If You lot Leave" – as well every bit that of the similarly pop-oriented Crush (1985) – "obscured OMD's legacy equally musical innovators" from US audiences, and marked a shift toward "making music for whoever signed the checks".[1] Listeners in OMD's native United kingdom – where the band had gained an audition with edgy, experimental music – were particularly resistant to the track, which peaked at no. 48 on the Britain Singles Chart.[11] Frontman Andy McCluskey commented: "It'south a approving to accept such a big hitting, only a shame that information technology overshadows so many other good songs for the US audition. We have many European fans who hate the vocal."[12] Along with 1980's "Enola Gay", "If Y'all Leave" has been described as OMD's signature vocal.[13] [14]

Entertainment Weekly announcer Dana Falcone described "If Y'all Exit" equally a "at present-classic tune" and "OMD's best-known song to Americans".[15] Kevin Wuench of the Tampa Bay Times dubbed the rail "a signature vocal of the '80s that will never go out the radio",[sixteen] while Interview called information technology "one of the well-nigh influential, zeitgeist-capturing songs ever to be written".[17] The track has been included in diverse "greatest songs" listings;[a] KOOL-FM named it the tertiary-best new wave song of the 1980s,[xviii] while Time Out ranked it the 10th greatest track of 1980s cinema.[19] In a poll of 6,528 Slicing Up Eyeballs readers, "If You lot Get out" was voted the fifth-best song of 1986.[xx]
