About Universal

"Universal" is a song the British band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) released as the second and last single from their album Universal. The single peaked at number 50 on the UK Singles Chart. This version differs from the original, adding the female singers to the beginning and editing out the lengthy introduction of the album version. It was edited by Pete Lewis. Like the previous single "Walking on the Milky Way", it was released on CD and cassette formats but not on 7" or 12" vinyl. The poor performance of the single and its parent album prompted singer Andy McCluskey to disband the group. It would remain their final single for over a decade until the band's reunion. more »

It doesn't matter if you're black or white
Or the god that you choose to pray to
It doesn't matter about the clothes you wear
Or which creator made you

We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there's no heaven above

It doesn't matter who you think you are

It's not important as to why we're here
You know there is no reason

We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love
And when we die there's no heaven above

It's Universal, It's Universal
It's Universal, It's Universal
We all bleed the same blood
We all need the same love

And when we die there's no heaven above
It's Universal, It's Universal
It's Universal, It's Universal

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) are a British New Wave group formed in 1978, whose founding members, Andy McCluskey (vocals, bass guitar) and Paul Humphreys (keyboards, vocals), are originally from the Wirral Peninsula, England. 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.
