↓ LYRICS ↓
[Intro]
To your soul
To your soul
Cry
Cry
Cry
[Verse 1]
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
[Verse 2]
Mother will never understand why you had to leave
But the answers you seek will never be found at home
The love that you need will never be found at home
[Chorus]
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
[Verse 3]
Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down
[Verse 4]
And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them, just to your soul
No, you never cried to them, just to your soul
[Chorus]
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (Crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
[Bridge]
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
[Verse 5]
You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case
Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face
[Chorus]
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

2024 anyone ?
Yeah b*tch 🤘🏼
From Russia😊 peace❤
WOULD PEOPLE PLEASE STOP ASKING THIS!? I SEE THIS COMMENT EVERYWHERE!
@@brentmunroe1227 why you are so stupid? are you a democrat?
Yes
This song was released in 1984. 40 years later, here we are in 2024.
This always has been and always will be a timeless classic.
Agree
all time banger
goddamn
literally 1984
all 3 bandmembers were gays, i dont want to know what dirty things they did behind closed doors
@@ElectronicHouseFlash I'm referring to the tune you melt.
Only the 80's had the poppiest, most joyful music set against the darkest lyrics.
Lo acabo de ver en Instagram 👀
Perfectly summed up
This song changed my life.
I remember the first time I saw the music video for this song in an isolated small town boy in northern Alberta, Canada. After school my brothers and I watched CBC's 'Video Hits with Samantha Taylor'. I was 15/16 years old ... my brothers were playing games when the Smalltown Boy music video started.
It was me. My life. All of it.
Every word went straight to my heart and for the first time in my life, I did not feel alone.
I remember being so paranoid looking to see if any of my family recognized me, recognizing the content, the lyrics, the terrible loneliness, the fear, the hatred and the bullying. Years later a dear friend heard my story while we were roommates and she bought me the CD of an album I was too afraid to buy as a teenager. (I still have it by the way Lavender Menace.)
This song is everything to me. When someone asks me what life was like growing up in the 80s, gay in small town nowhere, I tell them it's 'Smalltown Boy' by Bronski Beat and the music video is about fleeing to save your life. I ❤ you Bronski Beat. Always. You may have saved my life.
❤ bless you
just be yourself my friend all u can be ive known ive been gay from age 14 or 15 we cant do nothing bout it mate just live life mate fuck all haters
can i guess, youre the middle child, right? (just curious)
You’re loved
❤❤❤
I danced to this when it was brand new in a nightclub in ‘84.
37 years later I’m sitting in my wheelchair dancing in my head ♿️
I love you all.
Now go love each other.
Time is too fast, love lasts forever. ❤️
You go girl
thank you Joker
That's so moving and eye-opening. Thank you!!! I was just thinking about my first time hearing it, and indeed... I was a 10-y.o. smalltown boy, living in a small town in central Bosnia, walking to the city centre to buy me a Bronski Beat cassette and then walking back home and listening to it on my walkman... I didn't know what they looked like or what they stood for, the only thing I knew was that they were from England and their sound was fresh. Enough for me to make up the rest in my Smalltown Head ☺ Those were very happy days... We used to be such happy kids ❤
@@intangibleassetsmusic Wonderful comment. Did you live through the chaotic days of the Bosnian War?
@@landser3336 thanks a lot! Partly I did, yes. I left the country in July of 1993, two years into a conflict, but that didn't stopped me from living through all what happened. To tell you the truth, in a way I still do. It comes back every now and then and it's as vivid as if it happened yesterday...
1984 - this song is awesome!💥
2023 - this song still awesome!💥
I remember listening to this on my first Walkman I was 10 years old lol. What a tune still 👍
What i would give to go back to those days ❤
💯🔥
Agreed!!! Here's another..
ruclips.net/video/J9wo0cqq_Mk/видео.html
Top song! Love 💕 It!
40 years later, a TikTok dance trend of how parents used to dance in the 80s made this song go viral. It's a classic, I hope people rediscover the song, the wonderful video and the meaning behind it all.
Huh. Msybe TikTok is good for something then. If at least a few kids understand the meaning of the lyrics.
What’s the meaning?
@@lysanatt TikTok is amazing for many things, truly!
@@VintageCharms It's a song about not being accepted for who you are, and having to run away to another place to find your people.
@@VintageCharms he propositioned the swimmer and got beat up, his parents find out he likes men, his father won't touch him to shake his hand as he's leaving home
I was born in 82, and came from a busted up home. My mum then ran pubs. I left home at 16, got into drugs, and lost everything, and became a complete scumbag, and went raving until 21, when I joined the army and went to war. I then did 5 years, got PTSD, and got kicked out for drugs in 2008. Then I lost everything again, and rebuilt my life, and moved to Australia, drove to Mongolia, and travelled 35 countries. I had a bad car crash which disabled me, and I'm still having surgeries for the injuries. I'm 41 now and run a building and project managing company. I have an equally damaged girlfriend of 7 years, and we have a house, and a veg garden and chickens. We have one rule in this house....dignity, love, compassion and understanding are more important than anything else. Wherever you're going through....just enjoy what you can from it, and see it for what it is...a scene from the film of your life. Life is both beautiful and tough...so don't make yours, or anyone else's harder than it already is
I love you all, and wish you well! X
Que lindas palabras! Saludos de agentina❤
Meine Kindheit verlief ähnlich.
👍
Right on keep your head up and remember to stop and enjoy life!
David ,,i don't know you and never will but....God Bless You My Friend from New Scotland Canada....

Even of your not gay you can still relate to feeling isolated and looked down upon. What a great track. Timeless.
Trust me , if you're not gay, you can't relate to that song .
@@morganolfursson2560 Perfect example of gatekeeping.
@@sean2mush Oh darling, i'm not that altruistic . I couldn't give less of a crap about keeping any gate .
@@morganolfursson2560 r/gatekeeping
Morgan Olfursson you’re right, as a gay person, i feel what the song is talking about.
This song reminds me of my difficult childhood growing up in the 80's. I wasn't gay, but all I ever did was runaway from home and runaway from being institutionalised, and chase after my real Dad who didn't really want anything to do with me. Now I'm 42 and I work as a contractor travelling the country and relocating multiple times. When I think about it, I guess I'm still on the run.
dude thats a really good life
Just send you a hug,good job bro🌹

Never even heard of this song in the 80's, until now. Don't care for it.

Please could you tell me what's the story of this guy In the video??
I didn't understand that he left his home and why all the video he looks lonely and sad??!!
Who’s here in 2024, still loving this?

I’m not gay, but as someone who left home very young, this has always resonated with me. So grateful for Steve Bronski putting this out into the world to reach people like us who had to leave home with everything we had in small cases and go find life.
same here, my mate
Same. I was a 15 year old girl.
same. I didn't leave home young, but I've never felt like I fitted in.
Me to, I left home aged 16! With everything I owned in a carrier bag, via my sisters 1st floor bedroom window, which I jumped out of😱 RIP Steve Bronski😪😪😪
I‘m also not gay but in my opinion this has nothing to do with sexual orientation but with art, it is really difficult if not impossibile to find sth in this quality these days, Rip Steve Bronski u will be remembered
Finally this song got 100M. Very underrated, deserved more
It's because of the new Christin Stewart movie, love lies bleeding soundtrack. Always been a good song though.
Me listening April 2024 ❤❤
This song was a huge hit and has been regularly played on radio stations around the world for the past 40 years...how is that underrated.

Amazing song
I just read the part of your comment that talks about comments being made 3 days ago and your comment is 3 days old. Fkn mad.
@@cole396 ye

This a song that took you away to that untouchable place in your head while dancing with friends and strangers!
"The love that you need will never be found at home."
That still hits hard all these years later.
Absolutely heartbreaking. And I'm straight
@@birdswont Why the need to say that you're straight ?
@@TheStickMachine good question. I don't know why I said that
@@birdswont perhaps because the pain is felt no matter the barriers?
@@birdswont you meant ally ;)
This song could apply to anyone struggling to find their way in life, not only
someone who is gay.
Exactly.
Absolutely!
But it’s not.
No I dont think so, straight people face their fears and problems.
@@geroutathat so do others.
Man o man. In the time od AIDS. What these poor souls go through. The world is cruel.
80's music will never die
Epic music never die.
Nope 80s music will never die even if we move forward into the 20s. The next 80s will be the 2080s and will all be dead by then
That's a pity
@@shaneinkster4775 i will be alive probably
It really wont, together with the 70's music, ever lasting music died at the end of the 1990's. Millenial whoop killed music and then came the Voice of and music is now officially dead. Nothing to do with age and nostalgia of us old farts, it's all the same autotune and whoop that sounds great when you hear it the first time and put on repeat for 10 times, rince and repeat the next No. 1 hit and get fed up and end up back in the eighties because that music never bores and you want to repeat 100 times and more
I did not drink. I did not do drugs. I just danced all night in clubs and I felt as high as anyone. Music is the answer to everything.
I appreciate this comment. I stopped drinking a few months ago, after years of binge drinking in the clubs, and going out dancing all night has never felt better. ❤️
Music saved my life...literally...
You are right. When i hear music (loudly) i am getting high like i have drank alcohol. I can't compare to drugs cause i never did. Now i don't drink alcohol at all and i don't miss it.
just pop molly bruh
I drank and did drugs. Made it even better.
This was groundbreaking in 1984!
It makes me sad that people just can't let others be who they want to be. Humans are just so needlessly cruel.
Exactly.
Будь таким каким хочешь, не навязывай это другим. Если ты хочешь быть ненормальным, это твое право, но не стоит пытаться убедить других в том, что это нормально. Уважай себя и уважай других, даже если не такие как ты.
Parents.
This is a masterpiece, a life-changing piece of work. Rest in Peace, Steve...
Thank you Steve. U will always be alive
I had this 45" single on import here in the US. I am a big fan of broski beat and alphaville. Both are outstanding and unique.
RIP and Anne Rice. We have lost so many treasures in the last 5 years. It really makes you question your own mortality
Thank you Steve and RIP.
Steve was the Beat that made Bronski. He will always have a space in my heart and my playlist. RIP that genius. I'm not religious but should there be a heaven, I hope Steve's conducting the choir.
@@lynnsullivan2757 ááaaáaáaáaaAAAAAAAÁAÁAÁAA
I loved this song when I was young, but never really understood the lyrics. Older now, I listen and it breaks my heart, especially as I’ve just watched the video for the first time. I have tears of sadness and sympathy for all those poor boys who have suffered prejudice and violence and been forced to leave home for a dangerous and cruel world. All the love I have goes out to you all.
I've have same feeling when watch the video, never seen this before i've grow up an finaly understood the lyrics since i've bein kid at 90s-00s long time ago and moved to from small town. Having some empatic ironic nostalgy when watch that video.
True I have same feeling…..
love you too 🖤
It was awesome that his mates who encouraged him to talk to the chap also came to join him on the train.
I had a situation in Manchester with my boyfriend back then when so guys have been after us but luckily we managed to escape! So many years later it is still a struggle and illegal in 72 countries!
With the exception of the 80s "claps" on every song, the aesthetic of this song is about 30 years ahead of its time.
You haven't listened to much 70's and 80's music, have you? It was all in it's time. It's just a timeless classic.
It’s called a “gated snare”
Happy 40th birthday to this absolute legend of a song!!!
This song was so powerful when it came out, and still is..my brother came out in 76 at 16, quite a thing to do in those days, thankfully my mum and dad just accepted him for who he was, i once asked my dad what he said when my brother told him, a man of few words ' your my son and i love you know matter what' is how he put it..dad im forever grateful you did that...hes still with the guy he met 40 years ago..love you tony and david x
congrats man and congrats tony and david !!!
7/10
I appreciate the fact your family was so accepting of your brother coming out.
You all sound like a fucking cool family👌🏻
Cute
There is something special about a song that can make you very sad and nostalgic and make your soul want to dance at the same time. ✌
This 🙌
Best Comment ever I totally agree
I feel you
Resonate deep w this
Yes this is life I swear
"But you never cried to them, just to your soul"
Groundbreaking for its time and a perfect slice of arpeggiated synth pop. RIP Steve
I love this song.
Juste là pour commenter surtout quand l'artiste est mort.
The beats are very classic,rip Steve.
Absolutely, this song is clearly the forebearer to a lot of music
This was way ahead of its time
Rip Steve
This song is so haunting that it verges on being almost depressing. My heart aches for all the lost, ostracized souls who feel they have no option but to abandon home and family in order to live some semblance of an authentic life. If you're reading this, there truly are people out there who care.
thnk you
So poignant because it rips through me and opens my eyes to an “authentic life” pursuit
@@MrFrendan
Everyone deserves that :)
Or they could have just abstained and didnt have sex rule their lives.
@@xamurai00
You have a lot to learn. It's not about sex; it's about identity. No one should have to abstain from seeking love. People should, however, abstain from ignorance and judgement.
Nobody should feel like this. My hearts aches for all the lonely souls that don't have a home to return. We are gonna be okey.
Me2,i was so homophobic,this tune tells me lots.
3 years ago I heard this song, now this song has become famous, I'm really happy about this ❤
As a naive young teenager, I just loved the melody of this tune.
As an adult, aware of its significance I appreciate it even more.
Glad you mentioned this. I believe this to be a theme in people's upbringing.
When you are young you allow the melody to energise you without heeding the words.
Once you're older and wiser, with the ability to comprehend the world. You realise there is a message to be heard.
I'm honestly shocked a song like this became popular in the 80s especially during the HIV scare.
I always think I’m the only one obsessed with the melody😂
@@samjones527 the UK and U.S. were more open to gay artists
Massively powerful and massively ballsy for the 80s.
I was 10 when this was released, the intro still gives me goosebumps 40 years later.
Gone but not forgotten. RIP.
I was 10 when this came out too and I'm sory to tell you but its almost 40 years.
@@djkoti74 I was never any good with numbers 😁

Who’s else thinks 80s music is the best ever 🕺🏻🎶
Yes Sir😉
💯👌👌
Greatest period ever , lucky to have lived through it .
and 90s
I can agree with you even considering my completely different cultural background and age. I just can't find such truly sincere songs of my generation.
Lyrics hit home. Dad didn’t speak to me for 12 years when he found out I was gay.
We were fortunate to have him back in our lives for the last 16 years of his life.
His last words to me was to give my handsome husband of mine a big hug for him.
😢😢❤️
Oh Tom: I’m so happy you had your Dad back in your life for the last 16 years of his life. Wishing you and your husband much love, light & blessings.
Living your lives to the fullest is the best gift you can give to each other. True love is so wonderful. I’m certain your Dad is proud of you.
Congratulations guys ! 💜
How blessed he was to have a son like you, with such an open heart xx
That's why it was so important for me to find a husband who wouldn't care about our kids being gay. I never want my kids to feel rejected or unloved because they're gay. Still too young to tell but whatever they choose they have our love and support 100%.

I've always held this song close to my heart, myself being a gay man who had to run from home. My father hasn't spoken to me in about 5 years since I came out, and I don't expect to be in contact with him again anytime soon. I still remember leaving town on the train and never looking back..just like the song. It's always felt very personal to me and I will always cherish this song

Many of the 80s songs were timeless masterpieces
Even though I’m part of the Gen z generation I still prefer 70s and 80s music to modern-day music at least in the 80s music had an artistic sense to it unlike today where music is written by algorithms that sound similar to each other which is very unoriginal.
@@emmanuelsengo684 I totally agree
That s why some of our today artist are still using them. Fir exemple this is the Main soundtrack of Bad Habits- Ed Sheran

You can find good music in any year if you look hard enough but with the 50s,60s,70s,80s there is an abunence of it. No one can ever deny this, no matter how woke you are.

This is a masterpiece. From the opening synth chords, to the high falsetto vocal. A musical pearl
Erasure s hideaway is much more powerful it made me cry as I was struggling to come out the first second I Heard the track I burst into tears that song saved me
Thankyou who ever replied to my comment
And not to mention the bravest subject matter of any song which even today would be daring but this was in the early '80s. I cannot believe it
Couldn’t have say it any better.
As young in the 80ish and grew up in a small town I know everything about what this song is about. I had so many dreams and hopes back then. I felt exactly as he sings, alone on the platform when I arrived in the big city.
One of a few absolutely timeless masterpieces, which you can still hear in hundred years and it will be still fantastic!
This song is so deep so ethereal! It sounds so much ahead of its time idk it's has A LOT of meaning
“The love that you need will never be found at home” one of the most tragic lyrics ever written.

Just sent it to my old military boys back in the day, I went on dance floor by myself w no one else there.
one of the best things about 50 years old,is the fact that i lived my teenage years in the 80's that is priceless and I am grateful!!!
Same. What a great time to be young

Same here, but my eyesight is getting worse each year, I want to be younger.
I am 20 and I really wish I could of experienced the 80s!
Certainly with ya on that one !
What an absolute incredible time !!
I was born in October 1984, this song belongs to me 😍
"Music was my first love"
It's an anthem for people who don't feel they belong - in their family, their street, their town etc. Inspirational. Find your street, your town, your people. You'll be be happier !!!
Was adopted myself so its hard to fit in where no one understands you but you do your best.
I think it's mostly about homophobia, and family isn't always the one you start out with, but the one you choose.
well sure...BUT it truly is a gay anthem.
@@sailenthotcarathot8540 It is yes, but it had much wider resonance. I'm not gay, but I went to London when I was 17 in 1991 and this song chimes so much with how I felt at the time. There were countless others like me too.
I wish I could love this
Rest in Peace Steve! Your beats won't be forgotten.
ja das ist wohl wahr
So sad about It!
I was born at the end of the 90s, but my mother was born in the 70s and lived her entire youth in the 80s. I always tell her that she was a privileged woman to be able to see all this music and cultural explosion of humanity like never before. had seen and would never be seen again in all of human history!

Instead of Slow Hand or You Make Me Feel Mighty Real or Born To Be Alive, this should be the must listen of all the gay men out there.

The lyrics are applicable to many different scenarios. Not just being gay. Many young people face a difficult time coming of age. Or even just being themselves. Timeless jam.
yea
No! it's explicitly about coming out as gay. You can interpret any way you which.
But this song is about that and very important to mark how it was in the 80s and earlier, this is a particular situation and it's specifically about that, there are other songs that would fit better for other circumstances
Many musicians never really fit in at school and where they lived and have a hard time going back, too many hard memories.
It is even more relevant coming out as White heterosexual and male.
This song always struck me as beautifully sad, even when I was too young to understand why.
TikTok brought me here. What a gem 🔥
Yeah brought me here too!
@@shidamazlan7839w😮w
The words to this song always bring me down to earth. I am not gay, but that doesn't matter, the song is highlighting someone that is different. I was sexually abused by a guy from 8 to 11 years old in a small community in Norfolk, as a result I got badly bullied for being quite. A few years later at 16 this 'smalltown boy' escaped to join the army - still cannot stop shedding a tear to this song though!
Thank you for sharing Bro!! Yore not alone, keep it strong!! Greetings from Amsterdam

I was 16 as well, going to all girl catholic school, not much experience in the world. That video was on heavy rotation on Musique Plus (video TV in Québec)... I suddenly understood what gays were going through. I became a lifelong ally since that video! The power of music and video right there.

I was working at that time ( 1984) in a famous Camden Town nightclub and Bronski Beat came for a gig, very few people knew about them like me altough this 45 rpm record was goin' up the sales, can't remember who of those three asked me to help them unloading instruments and all what they needed for the gig , I still have got the flier of their gig...
Pass it down to family, I got a blue Peter badge 😊
That's awesome!
J'aurais aimé les voir en concert...

as a waitress? In a cocktail bar?
For some reason my grandmother used to love Jimmy Sommerville, every time he appeared on TV she’d scream with delight “ooo look it’s my lovely Jimmy again!”
Your comment made me happy, thank you for sharing that extremely adorable story 💜
I get it! ❤
I love everything from the 70s and 80s. What a wild time it must have been!
After all these years this tune still gives me the shivers.........what a great song!!!!!
If i ever had a kid and he turned out to be queer I am sure I would have given him money when he turned 18 and told him never to return.

This song is a masterpiece. Timeless tune, lyrics in tune with how so many people feel, hard hitting yet gentle. Perfect.

Yes , the perfect song ; this is true .
I would slow down some parts of it a little bit for the playback speed of .75 and some parts and introduce a heavier base ... rich and resonant .

@@miguelgaldonmoragues ¡Excelente! Saludos desde Inglaterra! (with thanks to Google translate 😉)
2024 this song is still awesome 🎉
There was never enough blow with this song!
I have discovered a worm hole that leads back to the 80s. Any one interested in coming along?
Me, please

Yes mate, let me just grab some high quality coke, old school pills/E and some acid and I'm on my way with you. Night out at MOS first yeah?
@@mementomori4355 I was thinking about a way to get money when we get there, you may be the solution. 👌
Cinematography in the 70s and 80s was great, such warm colors, the image is so real and warm, I wish Kodak kept producing the film and the equipment.
I treasure my monochrome memories - FP4 and HP5 were and still are the biz. Just gone back to my trusty film camera and God it captures those 70s & 80s vibes so well.
@@stephenspark776 Excellent, I hope old cameras never die.
Совершенно с вами согласен цифра не заменит плёнку
@@user-dc8to1ky7m Усе однаково плівки зникнуть з виробництва, вже зараз просуваються окуляри доповненої реальності і ми потроху рухаємося у ту реальність, як у фільмах фантастики де люди переважно мешкають у ліжках з шоломами та окулярами доповненої реальності і знімають їх щоб поїсти та зробити "людські справи"
They lol you can pretty much get every film they produced then still
Tik tok brought me here! What a gem this song is!
Me too! I thought i already knew every good song out there! Guess i was wrong
I’m here because the parents from the 80s dancing 😂😮😮😊😊😊
I,am too😊
The song tells a very deep story. Not only is it a musical masterpiece it’s also had a very very deep story that a lot of people will relate to. Sadly.
I have no clue why but I love this song.
also it tells us that back in the 1980s it only cost 10 quid to get rid of your gay son.
@@odakyuodakyu6650 It's just history of pain and more pain, Britain has suffered a lot.
I agree with you. Greetings from Spain.
I didn't get the message, my brain it's not working so can u explain u?
When this came out as a teenager living in a very abusive home I felt he had looked into my soul and about summed me up. This song made me not feel alone.. still makes me cry even now but love this song even with tears in my eyes.
Your one brave girl.
same here, and I am straight
Love to you
Bless u sweetheart 💓
Hope you are OK now.
TikTok is the official, unofficial time machine...
Bronski Beat touched something eternal...

RIP Steve Bronski, you were huge music pioneer in the 1980’s and will never be forgotten.
Nothing makes me feel like this song does.
What a gem
80's synthesizer effects have something special. Gives me nostalgic feelings - Love it

I love 80s music!
Listen to John foxx’s album metamatic
They makes me cry of nostalgia and I’m a 2002 kid
This is why i am into 80s so much
This song just resonates. Jimmy saved a lot of young men's life with this song, gave hope that there was something better after running away from the place that should of loved you.
Great comment mate, respect.👨❤️👨
Yes, one of those young men was me.
@@NESalMonella nice

One of the very best songs of the 80s and such an emotional video.
I was thinking it's pretty sad.
What is the story of the video
@@craigjennings5274 pretty sure he runs away from home because he’s gay and isn’t accepted
I'm listening from south africa 🇿🇦
This song hits soooo hard.
70 year old chick here, still loving this song and 80's music...we are so lucky to be part of this Era of music!
70 YO chicks are cool
80s music - all about telling a story.
Todays music:
All us girls gonna stick together
All us girls gonna stick together
All us girls gonna stick together
All us girls gonna stick together
All us girls gonna stick together
All us girls gonna stick together
(repeat 40x)
Today it all seems to be about repeating the same things.......
Testify!!
Particularly the varicose veins....yummy.
I never realized how deeply sad this song is. My heart goes out to that guy, from 2020 all the way back to 1983.
Azazello1482 agreed!
The part where he pulls a sandwich out of a bag on the train eats it 😥 Something very sad about that part.
I didn't get what this song/video about when I was a kid, and the first time I saw it I just sort of shrugged it off. Now, I find it deeply moving. Funny thing, empathy, as you get older. That his dad didn't even shake his hand was the part that really got me.
Azazello1482 no it’s old tune x
Wonderful song! Even after many years it still is.
Very nice song i love all my felicitations for this group
This song speaks for all people from small towns, where we haven't been understood. It still makes me sad.
It is heartbreaking indeed. But mind you, if you were brave enough to be different...chapeau.
It talks about a person who had to go away from home (for any reason).
That’s why you move to the bigger cities. That’s why places like London, New York. Paris, San Fran have more gay people/ open minded people.
Still misunderstood...🤔
@@SimonLeeds There a lot of lgbqt people in small town too, they are just afraid to come out
