    Ich hatte ganz vergessen wie wundervoll Joe Jackson ist. Habe ihn früher mehrmals auf Konzerten gesehen und war total fasziniert. Wenn ich das jetzt höre fühle ich mich wieder zurück versetzt. Er ist unglaublich gut. So etwas gibt es heutzutage leider nicht mehr❤

    Took my 16 year old son to see him last summer in San Diego. The venue held 700-800 people. It was amazing...

    One of his most open and heartfelt songs and one of very many for this most underrated and intelligent songwriter and performer who is so severely underrated

    With all the shit going on today, artists like Joe Jackson have stood out as visionaries perhaps moreso than as musicians.
    Jackson' s songwriting is more relevant today than it was 40 years ago.

    We just saw Joe Jackson in NYC at the Beacon Theater. I waited nealy 40 years to see him live after many mishaps and failed attempts. This song goes to right to my core. I can relate to most of the messges personally as I know there are many that can as well and its message is so poignant. Take the lyrics away and you are left with a beautiful and haunting melody from one of the best musical artist that England has produced.

    My 17yo son came out as gay in 2020. He was scared of course.
    I played this song to him as we were driving the next day.
    Whenever we drive now I put this on and we sing it together.
    We are so close it's amazing.

      I would like to apologise, for what seems to make no sense.
      Apparently, I am considered as a real man.
      So, it's my destiny, to salve the wounds, caused by the evils that men do.
      If you would like to have any opportunities to deliver your message of dissatisfaction, then please do.
      I am here to listen to your pain.
      I am noones judge.
      I'm really sorry about this.
      I'm just here, trying to mend some broken winged birdie's, caused by reckless little boys.

    I had all the breaks.
    Yet, somehow, I still turned out to be a piece of shit.
