    I was born in 1989 but when I see the atmosphere, the people, the pure falsetto, the taste of music, I mean just that 80s vibe !
    Man, I missed out on a lot of things !

    I met this band in an elevator they proudly showed me a magazine cover with them on the front page I was only 8 or 9 years old they were lovely they lived across the road from me I've a dear to me memory of my recently deceased older sister waving and shouting "Bronski beat" from our 3rd floor balcony at Jimmy as he walked past our building carrying his shopping and him spinning around smilling and waving back . love him love his music forever

    This song is about being different and feeling like an outsider. It's a message that still resonates strongly today. Bronski Beat was truly groundbreaking.

    I was 7 when this came out I'm now just about to turn 47 in a week's time on the 19th of November my sister listened to all the 80s stuff she was 3 year's older God rest her soul 🙏🏻 as I've grown-up my pallete for music is well diversified and this is a tune 👌🏻 huge respect for what he stood for being gay moving to London where at the time was more accepting of gay people at that time and although I'm not gay myself and removing that altogether he was a fantastic singer in bronski beat the Communards and his solo career were amazing and obviously he's a fellow Scotsmen ☯️💙✝️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿.

    1984 and 3 openly gays men on the BBC. Iconic on so many levels. Fast forward to 2024 and the song is just as relevant and poignant. I was 12 and half when this song was released and I finally saw the rainbow lights. This song I guess is when I truly realised I was as a gay man and knew I would be fine...that's not to say I didn't go through hell as an openly gay teen.

      I don't think the synths were re recorded in the totp studios, that must've been done prior. Jimmy of course is singing live here, but the producers wouldn't let Jimmy sing live for other hit singles that Bronski Beat or The Communards performed on totp.

    I believe
    I believe I’m a kind soul
    Peaceful and benevolent
    I believe in truth, in honesty and loyalty
    I believe in compassion and kindness
    And if you come to my door in need
    I will let you in, for I believe in you
    And if you deceive me, I will not blame you
    And I will set the table with the king’s feast
    Candles and Sunday’s best
    For I believe in lenity and grace
    And if you lie to me, I will know why
    And look within to my own faults and frailties
    So that I may become a better friend
    As I believe in commitment
    And when you use me and abuse me
    I will change my ways
    For I know no journey is without pain and obstacles
    And demands hard work and purpose
    And when you steal from me
    Criticize and chastise me
    Belittle the very meal I laboured on for you
    I will cry in silence as not to trouble you
    For I believe
    I believe I’m a kind soul
    Peaceful and benevolent
    I believe in truth, respect and dignity
    So will you forgive me now
    For I cannot believe
    In me - with you
    Goodbye friend
