The most beautiful lyrics in the history of music. Joni Mitchell is a genius. ❤

[@motsigman]

In 1981 Kevin did an interview on Radio 1, where he stated true or not that he listened to Aretha Franklin's say a little prayer every morning, I was 17 and his enthusiasm for life lifted my spirits, loved his bravery and music ever since..

[@thepharcyde5239]

Beutiful ❤

[@cbcb4541]

This is the best version of this song, it's a positive beautiful upbeat style rather than the drab and sad versions...I love Dexy and Kevin's voice is amazing and this band is among the best of best if not indeed the best...don't ever stop doing what you're doing Dexy, it makes me "wiggle"...your treasure is recognized now and will be discovered by others as time goes on...thankU for sharing your gift!!!

[@minnow4363]

Kev, you were my hero 35 years ago and now in 2016 you still float my boat! What an absolute fucking legend you are........possibly the most underrated musician of all time!!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you cover a song. Superb, different version of a classic tune. Just wonderful

[@wolframhohmann1300]

Oh Boy, Joni Mitchel is the greatest songwriter of many generations. And this is a briliant interpretation

[@True_Heretic]

Wow! This is a real treasure trove of one charismatic thinker, singer and cultural icon, and those talented folks who have worked with Mr KR.

[@borispolonski]

Rows and flows of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere Looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and they snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels The dizzy dancing way that you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show And you leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take and still somehow It's love's illusions that I recall I really don't know love Really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say, "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way Oh, but now old friends they're acting strange And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed Well something's lost, but something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all It's life's illusions that I recall I really don't know life I really don't know life at all

[@danae2882]

I cannot get enough of Kevin and the Dexys, I feel every word of this song in my heart... I love you guys... I love you Kevin ❤️

[@patriciathewisher2315]

Magnificent cover. Kevin can do no wrong

[@paulstevenson200]

The cinematography on this vid is phenomenal. The music as ever Top Class. More please.

[@KarlHainer]

Kevin Rowland epitomizes the flawed genius. A magnificent vocal talent who strangely always seems to be three steps ahead in a nostalgic sort of way. God I talk shit. Love always Kev.

[@michaelmueller8772]

This is bloody wonderful. The whole album is a joy.

[@jerrythompson2857]

Dexys, Joni, Pellici's cafe, Blackman's Shoes, Bethnal Green, the style and what a cover!!

[@rolandoaponte214]

I've found myself going back here almost every day. This is addictive and this gang feels almost like family.

[@24sunny48]

Rolando Aponte me too! I just showed my husband this one & the documentary on Dexi’s. He loved this song by Judy Collins & said he likes this version of it.

Ever changing Dexys, band members come and go and come back again but one thing stays the same...The amazing voice of Kevin Rowland......

[@colinbakewell9372]

At 66 years old that band is part of my history. Just seen this for the first time,love it. Saw someone wearing a Triumph ring. My Triumph Bonneville motorcycle is my one constant love through my life. Poignent..?

[@margaretmcewan485]

Love you! Met you in Brussels Hard Rock Cafe. Serviced your burnt pizza, Not my responsibility, many yeas ago, You were not happy! You are cool and survived! Maggie, the Scot, Keep going! This world needs you. No pressure. But your lyrics are fab. And get better..

[@julianbirch7466]

God bless Kevin Rowland and Dexys. What an amazing interpretation of this song. Goosebumps and smiling ear to ear!

[@ericjohnson1797]

KEVIN, I graduated in the early 80's. Liked your music. Now in my mid 50's discovered your cover videos! Amazing!! Please do more! Thanks for sharing your talent!🎶🎵🎹

[@Chrisamusic1]

One of the loveliest songs ever written. (Kev really knows a good tune doesn't he?) Nice version too. Great to have Dexy's back!

[@MadderMel]

He does ! And he wrote a few too !

[@penguinsisnotughly]

After 27 years without a Dexys album Kevin is on a roll now!!

[@ronaldgamble3086]

That is a song that had to be written by Joni Mitchel and had to be performed by Dexys. Great enjoyment.

[@jpgsg4147]

Love it. Kevin and Dexis, you must visit PORTUGAL. We love u so much.

[@darrenweston4777]

Love the piano on this one.

[@mrdoos3665]

Undoubtedly this best version of this beautiful song!

[@coolmacatrain9434]

The genius that is Kevin Rowland. One small thing (in the myriad of things he has recorded), but 40 years later and nobody has come close to replicating that chunky rhythm guitar sound on "Geno".

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

also the sound of the bassguitar on "searchin ..." is one of the best ever

[@topping911]

Fantastic version and amazing video

[@mdoctor69]

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with the original version of this song! It’s a captivating melody. The lyrics are beautiful, yet sad in a way. But the clincher is Joni. Mitchell’s melancholy voice that always tugged at my heart. Fast forward to this innovative reincarnation from Dexys and I’m listening to this song in a whole new light! Something about the quirkiness of this up-tempo remake just makes you feel good!!! Well done 👏👏👏!

[@HenryGray7401]

well said. what a voice, version

[@pharcyde4943]

[@sharonmyers7016]

This video is awesome. It's like a reunion with an old friend. I never thought of them aging like the rest of us. They were always Dexys Midnight Runners on the street corner in their bib overalls. Thank you for sharing. So good to see the gang again!

[@garythompson2692]

It's a cracking tune,, been listening to dexys since I was 7, 8 Yr old awesome band,, can remember going to Scarborough on holiday at 8 Yr old and somebody played dexys all the way there on the bus obviously young soul rebels, I'm now 49 and still love dexys 💕💕

[@ronaldnock9666]

Funny my dear friend Elvis who died a few years ago loved dexys I miss him loads but listened to this smiled and remembered great times and days

[@brianbonner3058]

One of my favourite songs , a song I would like played at my passing . Excellent cover and Kevin's voice is made for this, jimmy nail does a very good version as well , and I know jimmy nail is not everyone's cup of tea but his vocals singing this song is raw emotion

[@pedrolourenco9710]

I subscribe what 80s Music said: "I find the modern incarnation of Dexy's deeply moving not just for the quality of the songs but also the dignity in the way Kevin is a survivor who is still able to produce beautiful, uplifting music that keeps on getting better and better." So: 12 stars in 10 possible! Thank you guys for those toutching songs and videos !
