"This song is about growing up, having confidence and energy but, as you get older, the reality of life grinds you down" Andy McCluskey

Mathew Street is in central Liverpool and was the location for Eric's Club - the legendary venue where the likes of The Teardrop Explodes, Echo And The Bunnymen and, of course, OMD made their debut appearances.
 

Karl Bartos is a founder-member of German band Kraftwerk - a big influence on Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys prior to OMD.
