I totally agree I was 17 when this song came out loved it

[@liamkelly5722]

It really was this song and composition, that mesmerized me, totally. I've been a big fan of the sound of the clarinet and saxophone ever since. Its music that moves you, the most powerful of all. I used to cry as I believed the words and felt I knew the story too. The fact that I was 14 and knew myself to be gay, was another powerful driver into Soft Cell. Non Stop Erotic Cabaret was a masterpiece, with a song for everyone, at different times and parts of their life. A naughty secret for many but a stark reality for more. Youth and Seedy films, seemed to predict today's insular world, after the essences of youth has flown and perhaps your love too, they highlight what you have left, when your two thirds through, spending your lifes penny. It's an album you need to hear atleast once a year, to keep you grounded, and helps you count your blessings.

I am almost 60 years old and still one of the best song I have ever heard.

[@kimslice9993]

I agree it just gets stuck in your head

[@CountDrunkula]

Absolutely love it much more than at the time. The comments about him being out of tune in the comments makes me sigh. They have no idea.

[@ElfSixDave]

@James Hodson I was into all this stuff back then, now I'm into metal, deth metal, thrash etc. ( and everything else). Weird eh?

[@ady8097]

Great song

[@marnik6627]

memories of a time long gone bt not forgotten!

[@andrewknight8178]

I've been into heavy rock / metal since 85 and really discovered this in the 2000's lol. It's a masterpiece of a song.

[@alanbobbymcguire5099]

I was there at that time. I didn’t quite get it. But watching this at age 59 my emotions are all over the place. For a big hairy construction worker . Wow what a great song.

Pezzo incredibile... romantico, evocativo, nostalgico. La musica, i sinth e la voce di Marc Almond si fondono alla perfezione formando un capolavoro assoluto. Mamma mia che bellezza...che bellezza ❤️

[@terry6131]

This will be my funeral song as they unload me from the hearse into the crem. As I go through the curtains, the music will be 'time to say goodbye'. Think i'm kidding? it's already written into my will.

[@philv5928]

😁😁 Hope it's a long time off brother, but when the day comes, there's no such thing as too loud. 👍👍

[@Dumaguetenonputi]

Not very wise... When the words come, "Take your hands off me", the pallbearers might think it is a command for them, and they let go of the coffin while they are carrying it... hehehe

My late brother n laws favourite tune great memory’s gone 3 years now god bless.

[@steveoshow4832]

This remains such a sensational song - Marc Almond, brilliant showman, vocalist and songwriter, one of the best of the 80s SynthPop era.
