LYRICS
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

Take me back to the 80s. And throw away the keys.
Fantastic time in history
🎉❤
Take me with you and I will eat the keys away myself.
"I'm 55 years old, and who else like me is overwhelmed with emotion when they hear this song that reminds them of their adolescence and Jimmy's magical voice?"
100% feel the same way.
im with you brother .
Yes I'm the same
I am 50....I saw him when I was in my 20s.....damn it was like he was speaking to me personally.
Yes. 55 years old like you.
And a 'small town boy '.
Left my parents home at 19 after my father told me he 'would kill me seeing me with a man!'
Never came back.
❤ I'm 70yr old lady and I have loved this talented young man from the moment I heard this when it was released 😍👍
No vibe can be felt the way 80'90s gave.
who listening now 2024🐺🦊🦝
One of the most iconic songs of the eighties
This song IS the eighties for me I listened to it sitting on a train from East Calder to Central then Paisley 5 days a week until I moved through to the West. There is nothing else like it . Ah I miss my AIWA play both sides Walkman with rechargeable battery .
Everyone loved this song,and Jimmy, what a voice, I'm straight male but he was a special talent is a special talent, 80ths greatest times of our lives, we lived in freedom
The world has changed. 80's best decade. I miss it😢
I came out in 1995 aged 15yrs. I did have the support of my parents but this became an anthem for me and friends because far too many were rejected by their family. I really hope that cruelty is behind us now! Thanks Jimmy. I met you in 1998 in G.A.Y and hope you've still got the same sense of humour!!🏳️🌈
30 years ago this was a scandal and an impulse for many people to reflect their opinions. I loved it then and love it now.
Excellent song, touching video.
I love this song... It breaks my heart every time I see the video... I was just a teenager, but I remember thinking to myself that I'd always love and accept my children, as they are, and I'd never let them feel like they needed to be ashamed of who they were or who they loved...
Good words!! :)
Someone cut onions here?
Your words are beautiful as you and your name
Your name is beautiful and lovely BUT don't you think there should be standards on who to date (& marry)??
@@jonathankaranja5857 yes, they should be good people who love, respect and care for each other. Those are my priorities. I would not put out my own child that I carried and raised because they do something that hurts no one else...
I'm a straight guy.. I love this song. Love this video and Love you Jimmy! Thank you for being unique and for making such epic music back when everyone was against what you stand for.. THANK YOU for being you and for blessing my youth with your AWESOME MUSIC!!!
Me too. I'm totally straight and think this video and song are very powerful. It must have been really daring for it's time, hell, it's still daring today.
Ditto
@wysiwybebe
I don't like straight guys !
Straight guys plant a knive in our belly if they are openly homophobe or in our back if they prétend not to be ! 😡
40 years. I was two when this song was released and heard it a lot as a young guy, full of melancholy and pain but also of resilience and hope
I'm from New York and I never heard of Jimmy Sommerville until recently. That is amazing.
He is such a beautiful man!
jimmy has a unique voice, you have to be impressed.
Classic
Simply magnificent. Jimmy Somerville. RIP steve Bronski and Larry Steinbachek thank you all for this wonderful song. This song is an anthem. The clip shows the sad reality of these brilliant young people. May the light always shine on the journey of you two and those who remain. Thank you again.
This song has been a part of me since the day I first heard it. My life would be be what it is without it. Many thanks to the artist.
Incredibly powerful song with such depth and meaning.
I loved this song back in the 80’s and still love it now. I never knew what the full meaning of the song was because I just loved the music. I thought it was just about a kid being bullied and left home. Now I know it’s about a gay kid coming out and leaving home as his parents didn’t accept him, makes me sad. Back in the days I didn’t even know what gay was or other sexual preferences were. He must have been so brave to sing about a taboo topic. I’m so happy he did for those that needed it. I love all people, gay or not. I’m so happy it’s more open and we accept it more as being normal. Love is love.
It still brings a tear to my eye watching this as it stirs up so many memories of leaving home after coming out.
It is the most meaningful song in my life
Thank you.

why are you gey?
More power to you. Keep up the good fight. (Sorry for the cishet male BS but I didn't know any other way to put it.)
me too honey
F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C.O Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy 🌹
🇧🇷🫵🏽⁉️
One of my favourite songs of all time.
Iiebe diesen Song für immer!!
! Eine unverkennbare Stimme! 😘👍
I love this song so much. It's so beautiful and emotional. Jimmys voice is iconic.
❤😢❤ Reminds so much of my brother who died in 1985 of AIDS at 24. Breaks my heart.
sending all my love
I can feel all the pain of the characteres even without hearing them, I see all the hate and ignorance agains all this people. Jimmy found all his friends in the train. They were taken out from their houses too. So sad.
Forever 80's music! Great tune for sure, also reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen just a bit, Depeche Mode as well.
In my opinion, this is the best music of Jimmy!
Brilliant. They don't make them like this anymore
Beautiful melody, great beat, essential message. Thank you Jimmy Sommerville
One of the special experiences of my life, being able to reminisce through 80's music
Jimmy merci pour tout ta musique un icône une inimitable quelle belle voix je t'adore je ne me lasse pas d'écouter ta musique je l'ai danser dans ma jeunesse et je l'écoute tous les temps 👍👍👍❤
One of the greatest songs of all time
J'écoutais ça dans les années 80...j'adorais et j'adore toujours... C'est énorme 💪💪💪
My favorite song of ALL time, I still play it loud & proud today. I wish Jimmy would do a remake of this video with a new twist. Seeing that video technology has come along way..Love that little man....ummgh!...xoxoxoxo

If it ain't broke don't fix it,, for me anyways, I would rather watch it the way it was presented..the video technology doesn't do anything for me,,but that's just my opinion, if it impresses you ,, cool More Power to You,,,
Nunca deixe esse hino morrer. Faz parte da vida e é muito importante pra muita gente. ♥
They were on the cover of smash hits at the time. Remember it well too.

I saw this video the first time it aired at the beginning of that long hot summer of 1984 on a Friday evening music show. I knew right away that a new talent had arrived on the scene.
wasn't this originally aired on MTV ?
@@BIgBass255 We didn't have MTV in the UK in 1984
