[@SU-452]

This reminds me of the endless 1980s night clubs dancing. Especially as a student. The smell of the dry ice 'smoke', the green lasers, the feeling of fear going to chat up a girl, the alcohol, the cigarette smoke, the level of loud music, and the way the dancing crowd would move en masse. Such an amazing time, we just never realised it, we thought it would last for ever....

Every ERA has an end. But remember the good times and compair them to today's teenagers life, the gap is huge & not saying that because im 50 but because quality and spontaneity was the feeling of 80's & 90's. You woke up every morning with the feeling that something great is going to happen....

[@richardcloutier8631]

I grew up in the 1970's and 80's in a small town in the Canadian prairies. I knew gay people, but no one could ever reveal that aspect of their life. I had an older brother who was autistic and everyone was so cruel to him, bullying him constantly. The one person who stook up for him was the principal of the elementary school. My parents knew the principal was gay, and he was allowed to be himself in our home. He could empathize with my brother. Neither was considered normal. Both were hated. Neither did anything to deserve it. Neither understood the hatred they faced. They felt it every day. The principal's partner died suddenly one day, and that poor man had to grieve in silence and without showing emotion. Eventually he left our town, never to return, his heart broken in half. This song always reminds me of him.

[@elenafoleyfoley168]

[@1down4up78]

So sad. I met a Canadian bird n moved to Stoon, back home in London now. Sone fellas ain’t travelled out there tiny town there. That said, clubs n all sir now. Ain’t no Vegas but being gay looked more open. Small progress.

[@jennwebb]

I remember that video! That's when I was growing up. A lot of the bands from the 80s were gay or had gay members. We all knew what some of the songs "meant... We actually challenged each other to REALLY listen to not just the beat, but the "message". back then, people knew who was gay and who was straight. We just didn't make a big deal out if it and all treated each other the same. I sure do miss those days.

So every generation's teens are just the same with different outfits😂😂😂😂 We vibe to the song in our teenages and start understanding the hard message when reach mid 20's and 30's😂

[@LoveforCloudi]

⁠@@Lotusfan11it’s not a big deal for the people that are gay, bi, etc. but saying “it’s not a big deal” when people literally tense up or cringe at a gay person is an understatement. Majority of people in the lgbtq community are just here, they just want to be. Yet, people who can’t even be a decent human being and just bypass it are the ones who make it such a big deal. Going as far as to harm/harass the person simply for who they like. I’m happy that there are people like you that don’t care, but trust and believe there are many people out there who aren’t as carefree as you and go to the extreme.

I was terrified but excited. Songs like this helped me believe, and cope. It was the beginning of my gay life and an amazing adventure. Hearing this song still takes me back to thst train journey to London, I even remember which seat I had. Now I feel my journey is coming to an end. And I'm so sad about it.

You can feel his pain ... Awesome song

[@rahvavaenlane]

what a song... both lyrics and melody - sad and uplifting at the same time - they invoke an emotion but also tell a story. and the video totally fits and is also amazingly well done - down to earth visual language helps one to identify with characters, and it tells a whole (back)story in under 5 minutes. sometimes it all just comes together.

[@StairwaytoHeaven4U]

I wish I could go back in time. I missed all this great music being a young mom of 3 little ones.

[@MrDanjacs]

This is really a great track, it is of its time but still sounds fantastic.

[@marisapalladino6115]

Grazie di cuore a tutti❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jennyjackson2336]

[@brandigreen2138]

My mom probably loved this song. I was born in 1986. She passed away before i could find out. But i see her dancing to this because she loved a great beat and she loved to dance. Miss you mom ❤

[@fede_ezequiel]

Literal, son temas muy relajantes para variar

[@skumsters2323]

I love this dude, Jimmy Somerville !! First (obvious) gay video I remember on MTV. This channel saved me from my catholic bullocks. This smalltown boy ran as hard as she could. Love ya Jimmy, sweet dude.

[@aixcracker]

Not many of my friends did listen to this back in the days. Later many have understood pretty nicely what they missed. The 1980's wheren't the easiest time to grow up.

[@scottnever8732]

what era was fun to grow up? everyone has a storey we all have problems and issues, we overcome them and just respect THE JIMMY

[@jarosawa.3094]

Dorastalem przy tej piosence w latach 80, piękne wspomnienia młodości i klimatu tamtych lat, samo życie , świetny utwór i clip.
