    Just discovered this live performance. Only Jimmy could perform it with as much heart and soul. What a song, unbelievable.

    So many good beautiful people were lost to Aids and others lost to suicide - robbed of life by a society that condemned rather than commended them. I wish we could bring them back to dance with us. The strongest truth is love, that to me is the only meaning that makes this life worth living. When we criminalise a group of people who want to love we condemn ourselves. Bless Mark Ashton, a good soul who flew too soon.

    How medicine has progressed in 30 short years. No one need die of AIDS now! The sadness of all those who have died...their memory and sacrifice should never ever be forgotten. This song is so poignant and makes me cry every time I hear it. The sadness and the hope...all entwined. Thanks Jimmy. Love you ❤️

    For gay men of a certain age, I hope Jimmy feels how important he was (and continues to be) to us. After Smalltown Boy, so many had the courage to come out. RIP Mark.

    It is very sad that all these young men who died so young did not have the chance to have the treatments that now exist and that allow people to lead a normal life, and above all that they are alive and "healthy" ... and so many have lost their lives and left so much sadness and longing to their relatives and friends ...

    This song touches me in so many ways. I feel blessed not to have lived through the real horrors experienced by a certain generation of the gay community - missed it by about 10 years; but have experienced the pain of loss, and can only imagine the pain felt by so many at the time. Thank you for such a beautiful song, hugely emotive. Truly timeless and profoundly human.

      I've lived through this so it always makes me cry when I hear it. Both because it is so sad, but beautiful as well.

    I saw this video on a display walking through a department store in Geneva in 1991 - I was FLOORED, stopped to watch the rest, immediately looked it up (which was harder then than now). And as others have said, I'm-not-gay-but... WOW. I had tears in my eyes, one of the most profound, simple expressions of pain for love lost I've ever seen, and the original video (look it up) was so pure and simple too.
    (What's killing me here is the phone-it-in by (at least) the keyboard player, who's at least initially is just kind of moshing in some chords like a lounge/session-player, instead of the beautiful simple arpeggios of Richard Coles' original piano arrangement, which made it so clean and simple. The original was clean, bright, and soaring -- just piano, some beautiful sax, Jimmy's high pure voice -- this feels like "guys, here's the chord sheet, if you can wing some of the original that'd be great but no worries, do what you can")
