Standing together for the right to live and die with dignity

[@davidsilverman7684]

If I were on a desert island and I could only take 5 songs, this would be one of them. How I loved it then and how I love it now!

[@amatteroffact1]

Id join you 😊

[@mabelbabel9649]

Jimmy Sommerville, whether in Bronski Beat, the Communards or solo has such a talent in tying strong and meaningful lyrics with important messages with music so joyous, energised and uplifting that you can't help responding to it

[@gogsy00]

Groundbreaking legend. Powerful then. Powerful now

[@MagnusVonBenz]

Ein unsterblicher Klassiker!

[@robertwilson214]

The backing singers and the way he just starts belting out 'the power' are impressive.If you don't like this,you're dead.

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Great singer !!! Great dancer !!!

[@ianbrierley4569]

this song has just the same meaning today as it did back then thanks you jimmy

[@Uarehere]

Does it, though?

[@KristVladic]

Nonsense. Back then, homosexuals simply wanted to be respected as people. Currently, Igbt-type organizations spread hatred, fight freedom of speech, in a sense I am not surprised. A lot of homosexuals fight Igbt etc.

[@romaingary3712]

Quelle puissance!!!! ❤❤

[@PCLanimator]

Maybe the best one from Jimmy! A great track! very PSB...

[@BillAnt]

Swear, you took the words out of my mouth about being so PSB-esque. :)

[@Drakonian1970]

This magnificent song takes me back to the nineties, a time in which another pandemic devastated not the older but the young people, how many friends lost their lives in their twenties or thirties and with the impassiveness when not the contempt of the majority of the Society Thanks Jimmy

[@spaghettieast]

Masterpiece ❤

[@svenschlattmann3466]

Absolutly geniues. His Voice is anbelievieble. Sorry for my Bad english. Greetings from Germany 😊😊😊

[@josepintomaranhaojunior6289]

Jimmy Somerville forever!

[@LeeAdamsful]

I remember when this song was released in 1990; I was in my local Woolworth's (aged 7) and this was blasting out over the speakers. I always remembered it. Then I discovered it again - 8 years later - when I bought a second-hand VHS copy of NOW 17 from a local record/music shop and re-discovered such great tracks/videos as this one, and a lot of other gems from the beginning of the 90's that I remembered from my childhood.

[@veronicagilmartin2015]

I bought my copy in Woolies!! x

[@mauricioreyes4564]

"So we'll shout (Shout!) As loud as we can And we'll shout (Shout!) 'till they hear our demands...." We are in a social crisis in Chile, so this liryc is perfect for it!! and Sinead O´connor 2:18, This is Great!!!

[@friscogirls]

Fantastic song Jimmy, very meaningful and what a tune, I love it! And I could watch you dance all day, I hope you still sing this 1 live because I’m definitely going to try my best to see you again 😀

Still got the cassette of Read My Lips here. My father bought it for me when we were on holiday in Spain back in 1990. Good times.

[@alanmcdnyc]

One of three UK Top 30 hits from his debut album"Read My Lips", the title track reached No 26 in Uk but was one of four AM Top 10 hits and the first of two No 1's for Jimmy Somerville.

I was just a kid when this track was released and I'm not gay. But the Jimmy Somerville/Bronski Beat/Communards stuff is really great!

[@patrickjoseph9291]

As relevant now as it was back then. Superb track!

[@barryrogercurrie4050]

Jimmy best dancer ever, know the song meant much more

[@JoeBearPA]

This is an old memory... I am not sure that some today know how much we added to the gay movement... I was part of Act-Up and very political in High School and college... Sadly, many hard days are still to come.

[@rudylabsilica2286]

Joseph A. Hancharik ; this song still feels relevant today, I think even more so. We should play this song loudly in the November elections!

[@craigrobertson1235]

I used to dance around my bedsit room, before going on night out in Edinburgh, it is such a powerful song. Love it!

[@pauldrohan8749]

What a powerful song and a great video. Feels relevant today.

[@jerirae9227]

I was also part of ACT-UP back when this song and video was released. A great song and just what we needed back then.

[@Stefan-dd5wo]

Adoro essa música ❤

[@geoffreyjonathanwilson5826]

Oh I loved his music solo and with the groups. A hit in '90 in the UK charts.

[@adriennelong9102]

Love this song the best song

[@airline150]

Fab song. Still uplifting today as it was then.

[@spike7101]

For some reason this song popped into my head whilst I was daydreaming at work today, so glad it did, I'd forgotten how many great songs Jimmy has written!

[@simonwillis1529]

When you done with being messed around and you stand up and make the change to make better

[@Pep_is_a_God_1604.]

Does anybody know what this song is all about ? By the way what a brilliant tune.

[@Titi022002]

Mark Radcliffe it’s against the American government reducing aids-related cases and deaths to silence! The lips refer to the mouth and the vagina as both were considered tools to counter rigourists (individuals and the governments) in the 1980-1990 campaigns. If you need any more information, feel free to ask me!

Okay DesertRose, fuel up the mini bus and let’s get going. I suspect there will be a hell of a lot of us wanting to go back.Today is scary and more so every year. But never mind, we have Jimmy to keep us cheerful.

Wait, did i just see Sinead O’Connor in that vid at 2:20?

[@michaeljarosz4062]

His dancing would have made him the star on any gay dance floor in his time. Maybe it did. I never saw him in person. The videos don't do him justice. All closeups, very few long shots showing how good a dancer he was.

[@juanluistena3732]

Sinead O´Connor!!!!

[@skadforlife3817]

A Jimmy somerville / Pet Shop Boys collaboration please 🙏🏻 ♥️

[@Dermacrosis]

Unlikely to happen as PSBs where focused on pop and JS on message. This means that a collab is unlikely to happen between the two.

[@martileah]

Is that Sinéad O Connor at 4.02? I'm pretty sure it is 💕

[@joeljack1]

I thought the same.

[@lcsdw01]

Me too, I’m sure it’s her

[@dlw415]

Yes! She is also at 2:19 wearing an ACT UP t-shirt ❤
