this song was my therapy. getting shit at school all day, then comming home and blasting this one out made me feel pretty good. then i saw the documentary paris is burning and i've never looked back since...
this is my first time hearing this song! Just makes me realize how much good music I've missed out on over the years! Thank god for youtube! =D All for the gay movement, to end with all discrimination, racism, homophobes, etc! We need to all accept each other as being part of one big family, one love!
boah, hab ich lang nach diesem lied gesucht!!! Plötzlicher ohrwurm nach der melodie und ka was es ist... =) um so schöner es jetzt gefunden zu haben!!!
this song is very well tuned... it gives an expression to all these weird feelings of coming out, having dreams and just finding yourself kind of separated from ordinary way of life for a long time...
Un REGAL. Merci Tout y est délicieux : sa voix, sa frimousse adorable de goupil, aux yeux malins et doux,... vraiment à croquer le petit rouquin ! Un Homme courrageux, un vrai !!!!!! Quel talent !
I saw Jimmy at Gay Pride in South Africa a few years back, HE WAS AMAZING when he did Smalltown Boy as his finale he just sang "CRY" and everyone went ballistic!!!
Politics aside, Jimmy is still resonant today as he was 25 years ago live at the Brixton Academy. Man or Woman if you like this then u are cool. Just wish Jimmy would meet the guys and reform, just like Duran Duran and others are doing now. I'd gladly pay 50 quid for an evening out at a live Bronski gig.
best video, best male performer, best song, best vibe, true ingenious gay music! Back in day (83') this was a groundbreaking vid. Being gay was still very much taboo.
Touché lol,I love the way every straight dude has gotta assert his straightness first lol same as me lol but i totally agree with you,i dunno what this song means to me i just know ive always liked it,I think its cos i remember it on the radio when i was a lil whipper snapper :)
this has been my favorite song since i was 5 years old (in the year of its release, 83'). love the clip. Its so much better then all the shite we see today. This mix does justice to the original but i still perfer my 12 inch. This song will defenitly be played on my funeral, even though im not gay. Without homosexuality we wouldnt have great songs from Erasure, Pet shop Boys, Boytrronic, Jimmy sommerville
bronski were a courageous band as they fearlessly protested against homosexuality discrimination..i am not a gay and i live not too far away from the vatican...so u can imagine...the meaning of this video should be now viewed as something that belongs to the past...yet, here we are, in year 2009 and such things are still as they used to be..
wee jimmy kicks ass, jimmys' smalltown makes fellujah look like a fuckin holiday camp,mentally he must have been one of the hardest men in GLASGOW. what a firkin voice.
imagine if: I had a beautiful kid... they grow up and tell me they're STRAIGHT! How much sense would it make for me to toss them out the door because they're different from me? NONE. Sad, ignorant and ridiculous. I love them more than ever and simply continue to raise them to be a good person.
You cant imagine how hard a coming out was in the 80ies. Yes he is gay, yes this vid is about coming out, and he does it in a very cool way, by a song and a video with a positive message. in the end his friends come along when he leaves home and even his mom and dad support him. how cool is that? Jimmy summerville is one great singer with a pair of brass balls, way bigger than us "straight" guys. Nuff said Kudos Jimmy
Hypocrisy is what is wrong with the world today!! He was taunted for being different but he is talented. I love Jimmy Sommerville. All my friends would be listenin to Hip Hop and RnB but id be listening to Erasure, Jimmy, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, because they are talented instead of singing about guns, violence, drugs!! Hypocrites
moments of heartbreaking pathos: eating his packed lunch on the train, oh bless. tapping his boiled egg in the bnb.sob really funny. wicked singer though, great tune.
Unusual ? Come on, didnt you heard Vince Clarke (not a singer but was member of Depeche Mode, The Assembly, Yazoo and Erasure where he still is) and Boy George in Culture Club ? And what about George Michael in Wham and also as solo singer ? Then we also Pete Burns in Dead or Alive and also we have and so much more :)
lol quality dude lol,mine used to phoned the cops to remove me and changed the locks just when he got fed up of my partyin lol,at the time i was stuck in my ways,i understand now tho lol,but i aint changed
yeah Ao58227! thanx for coming out and making that statement! I dont like the idea of homosexualality but it IS their choice however I REALLY resent the fairys that run around putting it in everybodys face I think its just like you say it is both sides need to chillax

I agree in the 80s we totally had it and I would just love to go back to it all!
boah, hab ich lang nach diesem lied gesucht!!!
Plötzlicher ohrwurm nach der melodie und ka was es ist... =) um so schöner es jetzt gefunden zu haben!!!
more than just a song! when i was 10 and first heard this i knew i wasn't alone. x
this song is very well tuned... it gives an expression to all these weird feelings of coming out, having dreams and just finding yourself kind of separated from ordinary way of life for a long time...
I'm not gay, but I love this song very much! One of the greatest 80ies songs...
Un REGAL. Merci
Tout y est délicieux : sa voix, sa frimousse adorable de goupil, aux yeux malins et doux,... vraiment à croquer le petit rouquin !
Un Homme courrageux, un vrai !!!!!!
Quel talent !

To me, this is just a great tune from the 80's.
Brilliant song! Jimmy Sommervilles's amazing, errie unique voice really make this work and that infectious beat! thank you for posting 5STARS
Age of Consent is one CD that every gay man should own. It meant a lot to me in the 1980s.

that's just made my day, thanks!!! :)
yes you are absolutely right. its a classic init
This is so touching and sad.
I remember well the dark times when being a GLBT member was such a taboo. Luckily, it's better now.
You cant imagine how hard a coming out was in the 80ies. Yes he is gay, yes this vid is about coming out, and he does it in a very cool way, by a song and a video with a positive message. in the end his friends come along when he leaves home and even his mom and dad support him. how cool is that?
Jimmy summerville is one great singer with a pair of brass balls, way bigger than us "straight" guys. Nuff said
Kudos Jimmy
Good for you, one of my daughters is, we knew from when she was very young no news to us when she came out.,we were wondering if she knew yet :-)

Hypocrisy is what is wrong with the world today!! He was taunted for being different but he is talented. I love Jimmy Sommerville. All my friends would be listenin to Hip Hop and RnB but id be listening to Erasure, Jimmy, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, because they are talented instead of singing about guns, violence, drugs!! Hypocrites

moments of heartbreaking pathos: eating his packed lunch on the train, oh bless. tapping his boiled egg in the bnb.sob really funny. wicked singer though, great tune.
