Jimmy Somerville feat. Florian Stölzel (Zither)

[@gilesgriffin9479]

Thank you Jimmy for being the voice of the voiceless for so many years... and what a voice, still! Strength to you!

[@carlosjr.8087]

His voice is incredible! It seems that his voice never gets old!!

[@mpoyart]

Oh my God!His voice remains fantástic after all these years.Incredible!

The soundtrack to my youth, and coming out…. I hope Jimmy knows how much he meant to my generation…. Still a favourite after 40 years…. Yes 40!

[@thorstenwestheiderphotogra7722]

Absolutely amazing, he's one of the few artists who can actually perform live and easily outperform the original recording.

[@dorisgunther2217]

What a heavenly voice he still has! He still sounds like in the 80s 👍👍👍 My teenage years and this song is a one of my favorites of that awesome decade! An anthem! All the Best , Jimmy

[@YesMeistres]

What a special rendition of this classic. Just wow. Jimmy's voice is remarkable today as back then. That is rare for the best of musicians. I hope the new generation is as touched to hear it.

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Yes isn't it great iconic gay mantra luv it😅❤❤❤

[@mrsbowie9296]

Ich liebe dieses Lied. Seine Stimme ist so beeindruckend. Einfach toll

[@AndyVonal]

I loved this song when it came out. I sat at home and cried my eyes out - I was glad there was no-one else there to ask "Why" (another poignant Bronski Beat question...). I heard it on the radio in the car on the way home from work the other day...and it happened again, uncontrollable tears. I guess that proves the emotional power of this fabulous song. Cry, boy cry...

[@Cognitiveleaper]

I'm thankful for how Somerville has helped closeted gays, come out.

[@campari4467]

This song was the deciding factor for me leaving home in the early 80s. I had enough and was struggling. Thanks bronski beat and Jimmy and co. For the memories. And thanks mandate in st kilda.😚😚😚😚

[@AmosAmerica]

He sounds great and has aged very well. The song is as impactful as when it was first released. Well done Jimmy! Well done Florian!

[@eddycoronado8381]

Amazing Song..love.it..Was never gay ..but Song has sooo much meaning to me .a fan since the 80s..so poignant..BRONSKI BEAT ..ONE OF BEST.👍👍👍👍👍👍

Mal ehrlich .....den stellst du ohne was auf die Bühne.....was passiert ?acapella......Gänsehaut pur ...

[@nico5173]

Jimmy seems very nice guy.

[@shane-porter]

Thanks for posting this. What an amazing performance. The voice has aged perfectly - a gravelly undertone to the instantly recognisable countertenor/falsetto.

[@chillimont]

And no 'Autotune' needed....RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ProjectOverseer]

That's how you treat greatness ... Thank you from the UK 🇬🇧 👍

[@Majazatylny]

dear god I'm listening to small town boy straight for all week. This song is so emotional, love it

To your soul To your soul Cry Cry Cry You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face Mother will never understand why you had to leave But the answers you seek will never be found at home The love that you need will never be found at home Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Pushed around and kicked around, always a lonely boy You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down And as hard as they would try they'd hurt to make you cry But you never cried to them, just to your soul No, you never cried to them, just to your soul Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul) Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul) Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul) Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry You leave in the morning with everything you own in a little black case Alone on a platform, the wind and the rain on a sad and lonely face Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away

[@janeqatar1]

Jimmy's voice touches the soul. He took us out of ourselves, out of the staid conservative hypocritical world and into something deep and pure. You don't need a drug to listen to his sound, it reaches into the heart and takes us to the soul. Stay clean Jimmy you rock or rather, you pop.
