Wow. Eugene Oregon 1984. We could not get your music there, we had to travel to Portland - two hours drive to find a store where you could buy "Smalltown Boy". I was just 14, not a prayer I could do it. But someone at my school did, and from then on we heard it every school dance and we made the DJ play it over and over again. Your music is a part of my DNA and epigenetic memory forever. You made a beautiful creation I've heard in my mind for decades since. Sincerely, Thank you! You created one of the brightest and most beautiful pieces of music I've been blessed to experience. Yet so true to the profound sadness and opportunities presented by life... man, you make me proud to be a human being. Thank you for that! All the best to you and your family!

I was around 14 or 15 when this came out. I wasn’t out to myself or anyone, but I was bullied nonstop at school and abused at home. I knew I had to run away, but back then in the 1980’s things were so different & I didn’t know of any resources or places to help (especially if you were Black like me). I identified with the song and original video so much - of being assaulted and then blamed for it, of being given a few quid instead of a hug. It’s almost 30 years since I finally ran away & I’m out as bi and nonbinary now, but this song will always resonate with my life. Thank you, Jimmy for this tune.

80's are time out of history, something else. Must have been something in the air...

The voice, the Artist, The Legend. All of the songs are still sought or at least appreciated by those who know what music 🎶 is

[@afonsocdc]

This song is AMAZING 🤩🎵🎵

[@robertclatworthy1857]

This brings back so many memories from the eighties that I could cry. Jimmy is an icon from that era and is still wonderful. Thank you Jimmy for all you have given us ♥️

Jimmy Somerville (the Bronski Beat singer) is in his 60s by now; but this song still taps the emotions. And his voice still sounds solid.

[@RoxanneCM609]

Absolutely a most amazing song. 🩷❤️🧡💛🩵 I love Jimmy Somerville. Thank you Jimmy for all that you have brought to us. ✨❤️

Memories of escaping to London from a rural community, early 20s, pink hair, rara skirt, leg warmers, DMs. Freedom, parties, new friends, new experiences.

Wow - Jimmy still looks great and sounds amazing... What a classic song - An anthem for so many like me who had to get away from that small town - Inspirational music that gave us all meaning.
