THis man is a genius, and I don't use this word often. His songs show an amazing blend of insightful, intense, well-put lyrics, good, memorable melodies and his singing is outstanding. Amazing. Love his songs and performance. Not well known enough, that's for sure. Sunday papers, for example, brilliantly satiric. Live performances just amazing. Hope he was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame long time ago. He is certainly in mine! If you read this, Joe, my hat's off to you. COngrats for your fantastic work over the years! You have given greater insight into some very important human dilemmas, -- just wonderful. You have my profound apprecation! Many thannks! Ted

Splendid version

[@djowhite]

I just love Joe's ability to not only continuously reinvent his music, but to reinvent the same song! Magical.

This song takes me back to my hometown again and again .... I never thought I'd miss it, but I do .....

[@mattstone5789]

Waves, seagulls, football crowds & church bells. My hometown too. Portsmouth. God bless you JJ.

[@nevennekic5262]

My hometown is Rijeka, Croatia, Yes the seagulls,, football crowds-I lived 500 meters from stadion, church bells-church was even nearer. So this song lot of us have in commons.

On the precipice of leaving forever to a new state. I will always miss my hometown.

[@davidalanfredericks2266]

Could be one of the best things Joe has done. Brilliant

[@knarftheriault]

It's been 30 years and I'll probably never go back. I love this song.

[@fredorulz1]

[@dien1000]

I love this song, and this version of it is my favorite.

[@mek90703]

I wish the interlude from 3:14 until the end of the song would go on forever. It's an exquisite riff.

[@garyhough8784]

Wow, what a rendition of one of my favorites

[@king180579]

cigarettes, wine and... joe jackson.. amen.

[@TheEstherchu]

Fantastic!!!! One of my favourites. It takes me to wonderful times. Thank you for posting.

[@61franciscus]

I still live in my hometown.... such a nice song.

[@johnrottler4000]

I hear some of Pachabel’s Canon’s legendary Chord Progression

[@jeanmarcdelval7336]

[@candygraham4419]

Vraiment

[@etljybd]

Wow

[@Yehudittx]

contrast with "19 Forever." :-)

[@imtheman7091]

My band is thinking of doing this song and I stumbled upon this version. Joe's an amazing pianist. Very under-rated. If we could pull this one off or even the guitar version...WOW. Come check us out sometime at www.imthemanband.com Love live Joe Jackson's music!

[@imtheman7091]

I also love how he incorporates Pachelbel's Canon in the song. Just brilliant!

36 jahre ist es her, dass ich ihn dies in Hamburg singen hörte (und sofort die lp holte ). bis heute ein sehr schöner Song.
