“Stand Above Me” by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
From the album Liberator (1993)
“Stand Above Me” by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2003. It was first released in 1993 on the album Liberator. Its best result is #1373 on the Fred XM Top 2044 Songs of All-Time (July 2003). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #5,974 alternative song of all time.
"Stand Above Me" led the charge for Liberator, the ninth Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark album, which Virgin released in 1993. Andy McCluskey wrote it with Stuart Kershaw and Lloyd Massett and produced it with Phil Coxon, and Gregg Jackman mixed it.
It also slipped out in disguise, as an anonymous club 12-inch titled "Liberator: Stand Above Me" that seemed to be the work of an act called Liberator. It turned out to be the last OMD single on 12-inch before they went on hiatus in 1996; nothing else under the name came out on the format until "Metroland" in March 2013. In the US it climbed to 5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart and 6 on Dance Club Play.
