Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark --- Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc)



On 5 January 1982, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark released the single 'Maid of Orleans (The Waltz Joan of Arc)'.

In critics' lists, "Maid of Orleans" was named by Record Mirror's John Shearlaw and Daniela Soave as one of the top three singles of 1982; it placed 18th in Classic Pop's "Top 100 Singles of the 80s", the magazine asserting, "As soon as you hear this you remember greatness." The Deutsches Museum included the song in their article, "Best of the 1980s—The Masterpieces of Synth Pop", noting its "unmistakable, almost bagpipe-like mellotron" hook. In 1989, Radio Veronica listeners voted the track as the 60th-best in history.

If Joan of Arc
Had a heart
Would she give it as a gift?

To such as me
Who longs to see
How an angel ought to be

Her dream's to give
Her heart away
Like an orphan on a wave

She cared so much
She offered up
Her body to the grave
