"So in Love" is a song by the band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), released in 1985 as the first single from the album Crush. The artwork, designed by XL Design, and the promo video were both influenced by the Mexican Day of the Dead festival.[1]

Due to the opening line of its chorus, the song was confused with another OMD track – "Heaven Is", a song first performed in 1983 and eventually released on 1993's Liberator – on file sharing services such as Napster.[2]

Song history

Although "So in Love" was the first single from Crush, it was one of the last songs written for the album. It was originally dropped until band member Martin Cooper persuaded Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys to make a demo for the song. Andy McCluskey said it was about the painful end of a relationship. It was their first hit in the United States, after five years of trying to "break" the States,[1] hitting number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100.[3] The song made it only to number 27 on the UK Singles Chart.[5]

Single and song versions

The first approximately 50,000 copies of the 7" singles were released as a limited edition double-pack in a gatefold sleeve.[1] There were four different 12" singles released, and one of these was also released as a picture disc. The first issue had the normal version of the song on the A-side, with an extended version of "Concrete Hands" on the B-side. Later issues included remixes of "So in Love" on the A-sides. Three remixes were made: the "Extended Version", "New Extended Version", and the "Brand New Extended Version", also known as the "Special American Dance Remix".{{fact|date=January 2019}}

Critical reception

Critic Dave Thompson in AllMusic praised "So in Love" as a "rich and sumptuous number" that is "well in keeping with the group's signature styling".[4] Colleague Tom Schulte described the track as being – along with the following year's "If You Leave" – the "pinnacle" of the band's musical progression.[5]

B-sides

"Concrete Hands" was released on the B-side of the 7" singles, and an extended version on the B-side of the 12" singles. It was also released on the The OMD B-Sides compilation album in 2001. The lyrics were made of lines written on postcards sent by Andy McCluskey to his girlfriend.[1]

"Maria Gallante" was an extra song on the 12" releases and can also be found on the second disc of the 7" double pack. Until now, it is not available on CD. The song takes its title from the Caribbean island Marie-Galante, although the lyrics deal with a girl.[1]

"White Trash" is a song from the album Junk Culture. This live recording was recorded at Hammersmith Odeon on 3 October 1984, and was only released on the double 7".

Music video

The official music video for the song was directed by Andy Morahan,[6] and filmed on-location in Spain.[7]
