1991 as a "weird" 15 year old - as the dad of one of my brothers friends described me! - would have told myself that smoking was a very stupid thing to do, and my friends were a bad influence on me...Which my mum told me, but, of course I didn't listen.
Same here. I so wish I could go back and do it all again. I would definitely stress less and just have the best fun. And definitely listen to my parents!🙂
my mum was a fan of deacon blue in late 80s and 90s, she went to see them live when they came to milan in 1990, and bought all their records. now she gave them to me, and i found love and motivation in these songs. much love to deacon blue from italy 🤍
I was a teenager when the Beatles were carving up the world. In the 90s I can remember telling everyone to listen to Deacon Blue - the whole package, great songs, unique line-up, superb arrangements, energy, fun and great musicians. Still electrifying in 2022.
The Energy is Video is so Beautiful and seeing old London too in a great Arty video Ricky on that car Bonnet wow 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Seen these guys a few weeks ago at the utilita arena Newcastle they were magnificent just as good as they ever were if you get the chance get tickets and go to see them they are the best band I have ever had the chance to see pure class
Raintown, an album that sounds as good now as it did in 1987, absolute class, still in my top three of all time, loaded and Telephone plus loves great fear, honestly music doesn't get better than that trio.
My god that key change still sends shivers down my spine .. saw this on the Chart Show in 1987 and bought the album the next day - soundtrack of my youth
Just awesome. They sounded so good together on this, and I love Lorraine's vocals. I think this is probably my favourite song from Raintown and I *can't* believe it was released 35 years ago. 🙈🙉🤪 It doesn't sound dated at all. I must have listened to this, I don't know how many times and still not bored of it.
So lucky to have this band in my youth. Feel blessed to have heard such timeless classics. Listen to them still. Fantastic tracks. Pump up that volume!!!
Working in London in 1987, myself and a colleague we’re on our way to the pub when we heard some music coming from some waste ground. Stopped and watched a video being made for a good 20 minutes before heading off agreeing it was a cracking song. A couple of months later back home in Glasgow and out with some mates when the video comes on the tv….Deacon Blue, Loaded. Been a fan ever since and seen them many times live now, but that first time was a treasure!
It reminds me of those good old days when I , with my friends, walked to the British Council of Addis Abeba while listening to Deacon Blue over Walkman. One of the ways I learnt English as a foreign language was through British and American songs. It is sad that we don’t have the culture, personas and heart, among others, to make stunning songs like this anymore. Gone are the days.
Notice the happy faces and the fun?.. You see this in many 80's videos. Pure joy. Nowadays , music videos are overly cool or sexualised and who the hell is smiling in 2020?. Bring back real music and less pretentious artists.
I couldn't agree more! I grew up.in the 80s and it was the best time ever! Wish I could go back and do it all again. It was definitely a happier time.🙂💖
Cannot believe I missed this band all those years ago .Had to ask a guy who plays it in star bar Glasgow. Deacon blue you have a new fan just discovering all your songs and albums . Beautiful cheers
I live in Berlin, and Ive never een anything more Berlin than this video shot in London, the director has hit such a spot, and of course I love Decaon Blue, they sound Berlin whether or not theyve ever been here.
I' m 50 yo, and a lot of time I figured myself what was the best 80' video. At last I have kept my decision. This is the best video. You could find it everythings you wants. Thanks. Davide
Hope their kids know how much their folks love eachother,them pair singing together is propa real love !!just look how they look into eachothers eyes word for word !!!wonderful song ,made better by how them pair show their love for eachother and the song.propa tune .
Dignity is my karaoke song but this is my favourite ever Deacon Blue song , absolutely brilliant,and still listen too it 30 odd yrs since it was released.
Oh my God...! I've been looking for this song for over 10 years... I've tried searching the lyrics but never got me anywhere...I just never forgot the chorus
You sigh and you walk You talk You care about nothing Sometimes you're feelin' That life has treated you wrong I've got a feeling You know what the score is Baby But it's hard when you're sitting here Surrounded by friends I've got a love That I'll cling on to And I'll stay there Stay there till the end I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there You walk and you talk And you sing and you shout And you justify About anything And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say Nothing And you eat and you drink and you dress and you live as if No one else did baby No one else like you Lives out in this world I've got a love That I'll cling on to And I'll stay there Stay there till the end 'Cause one thing I know is I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there I Have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there I have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded And things are different from there I have found An answer I don't think you don't care Just you laugh 'Cause you're loaded
Ok first heard this at Wembley Arena in the late 80's with thousands of jocko's jumping around like mad men. Made me want to wear a kilt and join them. The hair on the back of my neck stood up then and still does now. Such an up lifting song. Superb.
Ricky Ross recently spoke of Gary Barlow in approving terms. The same Barlow who appeared with Cameron when he was on the general election campaign trail in 2010 and who apologised a few years later for his previous involvement in a tax scheme for the rich. What has changed in the intervening years between the excoriation of the rich in Loaded and 2021, apart from the egregious gap between rich and poor which has widened to unprecedented levels? Dignity is about the working man and woman- the behaviour of the rich undermines that dignity for every underpaid, insecure hour of work.
Ricky & Lorraine, forever love. Magical chemistry. ❤
Great band... Wish it was 1987 again. I'd have told my 16 year old self to not be so insecure and have confidence in yourself....
Here here!

@@Sunset_City_Blues At that age we think we know it all. I also smoked when I was young
Brilliant song. For some reason it was playing in my head . Amazing

Great band I’m 72 and still listen ❤ um

Lo dijistes todo exactamente😅😅
The Energy is Video is so Beautiful and seeing old London too in a great Arty video Ricky on that car Bonnet wow 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
😂
The best band in the world. Saw them 1st in 1990. Still sound amazing today.
Seen these guys a few weeks ago at the utilita arena Newcastle they were magnificent just as good as they ever were if you get the chance get tickets and go to see them they are the best band I have ever had the chance to see pure class
Seen them last night in Belfast, t Brilliant
It's great that they're still going!
Went there bro , gr8 night 👍
Brilliant debut album, seen these & Erasure live more than any other band in the 80s..even tho they didn't hit the heights until the mid- late 80s .
Raintown, an album that sounds as good now as it did in 1987, absolute class, still in my top three of all time, loaded and Telephone plus loves great fear, honestly music doesn't get better than that trio.
Agree totally
I bought this album in the day and always had it on now I'm back years later listening still as good.
I don't care what anyone says but for me Deacon Blue had a completely original sound. Their songs were just so unique and timeless.
My god that key change still sends shivers down my spine .. saw this on the Chart Show in 1987 and bought the album the next day - soundtrack of my youth
Glad it is not just me. It is awesome.
Agree pretty damn cool
Just awesome. They sounded so good together on this, and I love Lorraine's vocals.

I must have listened to this, I don't know how many times and still not bored of it.
the greatest key change in music history
I am thinking of you
So lucky to have this band in my youth. Feel blessed to have heard such timeless classics. Listen to them still. Fantastic tracks. Pump up that volume!!!

Best band to come out of Scotland..period . Lorraines voice is so adorable.
I'd put them equal with big country
Raintown.. And.. Steeltown... Two great albums, two great groups... Mmm, i will add Waterboys too
@@paulfletcher8778 I agree two of the best.
They’re great but , simple minds , big country , del amitiri, Aztec camera , all deserve equal recognition .
Don't forget Wet Wet Wet, Hue and Cry and The Proclaimers. Scotland is stuffed with amazing bands.
It reminds me of those good old days when I , with my friends, walked to the British Council of Addis Abeba while listening to Deacon Blue over Walkman. One of the ways I learnt English as a foreign language was through British and American songs. It is sad that we don’t have the culture, personas and heart, among others, to make stunning songs like this anymore. Gone are the days.
Ricky and Lorraine were incredibly lucky to find each other 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
These were a brilliant, but very underrated band. Both singers have absolutey brilliant voices. Love it!
Aren't they married too?
@@michaelairley2015 I believe so.
Yes think this video they were just not long dating .
Yes married. Great band. How lucky i was in my youth to listen to such great tracks.

My favourite 80's album, WITHOUT DOUBT !!
only 700,000 views this song should be 10 millions.
Just doesn't get better than this. Vintage class.
Wasn’t it brilliant to have no money, no mobile phone and no worries
Flippin heck this band ARE GOOD!!!
Cannot believe I missed this band all those years ago .Had to ask a guy who plays it in star bar Glasgow. Deacon blue you have a new fan just discovering all your songs and albums . Beautiful cheers
comfort.
Timeless.
Brilliant song that just lifts the soul. Never tire of hearing this.
Rick Ross and Lorraine McIntosh - just brilliant
Health and safety out the window, love it !
Still listening / watching :)
Simply still outstanding in 2023!
An underrated Band, so many good tunes.....
A severely underrated band. Thee most important song in my life this is.
Class song. My uncle johny Walsh loves this s song. So when he dies he wants this blasting in the church.. bro
These were Scotland's answer to the Beautiful South in my eyes similarish band. Great, great music.
That's not a bad way of looking at it actually
No
Definitely not
Great post that , both boss bands
@@ste2442 definately hot...!
My favourite song ever… Cannot wait for your old 45s concert ❤️❤️

Algunas de mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos son suyas. Gracias
Love you Deacon Blue....
I have been listening the Raintown vinyl record for 2 months. This music is perfect. I like to hear it while I'm working. Aye they are Scots
I live in Berlin, and Ive never een anything more Berlin than this video shot in London, the director has hit such a spot, and of course I love Decaon Blue, they sound Berlin whether or not theyve ever been here.
First song I heard. Went out and bought Raintown and never looked back. Seen them over 25 times and they are still amazing. Roll on Glasgow 2023 ❤️
what a great band their songs are amazing looking forward to the new album,they make me feel proud to be Scottish

1 of the best debute CDs ever totally top shelf Scottish band, keep it live Ricky ross, Vincent cook
You sigh and you walk
You talk
You care about nothing
Sometimes you're feelin'
That life has treated you wrong
I've got a feeling
You know what the score is
Baby
But it's hard when you're sitting here
Surrounded by friends
I've got a love
That I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there
Stay there till the end
I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
And things are different from there
You walk and you talk
And you sing and you shout
And you justify
About anything
And you rant and you rave and you hope and you say
Nothing
And you eat and you drink and you dress and you live as if
No one else did baby
No one else like you
Lives out in this world
I've got a love
That I'll cling on to
And I'll stay there
Stay there till the end
'Cause one thing I know is
I
Have found
An answer
I don't think you don't care
Just you laugh
'Cause you're loaded
I

I don't think you don't care

Saw them live in Glasgow on Monday and this song was brilliant as was every one.
Look how young they look. Great song!
An absolutely fantastic song. I like how she complements the song, rather than over powering his voice!
Well spotted!

Was at there concert tonight and it was amazing love this 💗
Wow love this song 💞brings back the 80s love there energy as a group beautiful love connection ❤️

Ok first heard this at Wembley Arena in the late 80's with thousands of jocko's jumping around like mad men. Made me want to wear a kilt and join them. The hair on the back of my neck stood up then and still does now. Such an up lifting song. Superb.
Bring back these days please
Proper stuff this is boys and girls

the 80's were a time where people enjoyed music for what it was, fun! and not taken too seriously. Classic song, still great every time I hear it!
Hey I agree this is one of those songs that just makes you want to back to the years they were the best !
Chris p
Rememoro toda mi juventud con ellos, porque sin ellos no concibiria los mejores años de mi vida. Gracias Deacon Blue.
What a band.. Classic & truly amazing...👏
Timeless Beautiful Song!!!
one of the best endings to a song I've ever heard
Always liked this band
